Father’s eight-hour Sunday sermon on September 20, 1992, Belvedere, New York. This synopsis of
THERE is only one origin. Since we came from one origin, we must go back to that origin to be reborn. What brought mankind such suffering and misery? No one could have known the staggering consequences of the fall.
At the festival last month in Korea I proclaimed Messiah-ship, telling participants they must follow the True Parents. You too must have the confidence to state, “I am to bring salvation to the world. Without me, this world cannot be saved.” You must say, “With my own hands, I am going to build God’s house, form God’s family, make God’s realm prosper. I want to· build God’s country, God’s world, and wipe all the sorrow from God’s eyes.” If many Unification Church members make that determination, then God will be liberated.
Explanation of the fall
Because you were born of fallen parents, you must be born again from unfallen parents. Many people do not believe that mankind has fallen. Mankind contracted an illness by eating the fruit of knowledge of good and evil. To cure that illness, we have to have an antidote. Ask other Christians what the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil means. Ask them what serious wrong Adam and Eve committed which made God, a loving Parent, chase His children away from home.
Adam and Eve ate with their hands. So the hand and mouth in that story were the only parts of the body which were used to commit the crime. But what did they cover after they ate? The lower parts of their bodies. Whenever children do some-thing wrong, they express it. If the mother says, “Don’t eat that,” but the child eats it anyway, when the mother comes, the child hides his hands. He doesn’t hide his lower parts.
If the problem had been eating, God could have easily found a remedy. No matter how much you try to stop sinning, you cannot do anything about the blood that flows inside you. You could cut off your arm, but so long as that bad blood is flowing in your body, another part of you will commit sin. The blood flowing in all mankind is bad blood. We inherited Satan’s blood.
If the ancestors of mankind had not fallen, God’s blood would be flowing through you today, and everything would belong to God. God originally owned that central root that connects every human being. If you compare humankind to a tree, we are the branches. To be saved means to go backward from the root of evil and return to the unfallen position.
Satan generated offspring by satanic love; therefore, people reap satanic love. The orderly expression of love is God’s ut-most value. There is an orderliness of parents, then the next generation, and so on. Because Satan’s goal was to satisfy him-self, he disregarded God’s order, and we see confusion and chaos, manifested in incest, free sex and drug abuse. I have been chipping away at the evil elements in you, allowing only the good to remain.
My foundation to proclaim Messiahship
I have made all the foundation to proclaim Messiahship. No matter how many people may oppose us, their opposition will no longer interfere because the foundation is strong. There are bound to be people who understand when I proclaim, “Follow the Messiah!” People wonder why I proclaim Messiah-ship at this time and make more barriers for myself. After proclaiming Messiahship there are no barriers. This proclamation will stop all who come against me.
Now the entire Christian world is wondering if I am the Messiah. People are now asking Unificationists around the world, “Is Reverend Moon the Messiah?” And they are receiving the clear answer, “YES!” (Yes) Yes! (Yes) Yes! (Yes) Up and down, left and right, front and rear, people are shouting, “Messiah!” It makes my former opponents very miserable to see how many people are starting to follow me. They are coming to repentance.
My goal is to liberate God
I am wise enough to understand these age-old secrets of the Principle. My ultimate goal is to liberate God. As long as we put all of our energy into that goal, God will support us. And when we accomplish that goal, God will love everybody, not just the Unification Church.
There are many American families who don’t care about other families or their country. If most Americans are like that, this country will have no future. If you expect everybody to come to you and pay respect to you, the Unification Church will never develop any further; it will wither and decline. If a person or group serves others and pushes others to serve, then God’s blessing will continue to be given through that individual and group.
I am upholding God’s way. Whether it brings me benefit or difficulty, I must follow God’s criteria. America is very important to me, even more important than Korea, because America is more important to God and can influence the whole world. Korea has its special attributes, but God’s will must be done here in America. If this country turns around and goes to God’s side, everything will change. There is not so much time.
If it doesn’t work, there have to be alternatives. If the United States turns against me, then South America will be the alternative. If both come against me, Russia or China will be the next alternative. I always make preparation for anything that may happen. The person who is Savior must understand every correct direction.
Restoring lineage, ownership and heart
God lost the blood lineage, ownership, and the realm of heart. Suppose Satan snatched your fiancee and married her and had children who became your enemies. That is the kind of situation God was in.
God has not begun His original work. Eventually He has to recreate His world. Restoration is like picking up something from the trash can and cleaning it up. God is far from realizing His own ideal country, let alone His ideal world. He is still salvaging discards.
Every aspect of God’s creation is guided by the principle of give and take. The elder son becomes the younger son, the younger son becomes the elder son. Then they go in search of the mother. The restored Eve must embrace the restored elder son, unite with Adam and together with the children return to God.
In Satan’s family, there is enmity among brothers and be-tween parents and children. Men have deceived women’s heart. To adulterate a woman’s heart is the worst thing men can do, and they have been doing that all along. So women The mission of religions is to prepare for the Messiah and help him do his work. There are three religions in the position of archangel (Buddhism, Islam and Confucianism) and one in the position of Eve, or the bride (Christianity). The archangel religions must help the Eve religion prepare everything for the advent of Adam.
All those religions received a lot of blessings from God and guidance from God and spirit world. They know that, but they do not know their ultimate goal or the interrelationships between them. Only I could teach them their mission.
After World War II, the United States helped raise up every nation it had defeated. Without knowing that was God’s direction, it prepared the realm of brothers for the Parents to come. Democratic elections are a way of choosing the eldest brother.
Americans do not realize that democracy is not the ultimate goal. Do you know of any truly clean elections in any society? Everybody knows it, but there is nothing they can do. You can elect the ones who will fill the roles of elder brother and younger brother, but can you elect your own father and mother?
I have disclosed where God’s dispensation is heading and what each individual must do. I proclaimed the positions of True Father and True Mother, True Parentship, the Messiahship. I proclaimed everything, drawing all the attack. The Unification Church will receive no more persecution. Nobody is a match for the Unification Church in concept, ideology, dedication, or capacity to love.
Now is the time for parenthood. Who should be the parent for this country? Can we say, “Let’s elect someone and pretend he is our father and mother?” Can we elect our Messiah and True Parents by consensus, at our will? Americans have never realized that parents come to them from heaven. People do not select their parents.
The Central Restoration of Marriage
The most important element of restoration is marriage, because history originated from the wrong direction in marriage. Therefore, to keep our lineage pure is the highest human responsibility. Your ears have been soaked with the message that chastity is of utmost importance.
Before you can go beyond the level where Adam and Eve fell, Satan asks for an indemnity condition. That condition is the indemnity stick and the three-day ceremony. These conditions completely separate you from Satan’s blood lineage. Do you truly realize that you have gone through that transformation of the blood lineage? After the realm of lineage changes, then the realm of ownership must automatically follow.
To uphold the Parents means to invite God down to earth. Heaven and earth have been separated, but now, through the Parents, God can come down and live on earth.
In the transition of the blood lineage, everything that belongs to you belongs to God. Whatever we own is not ours individually. Adam and Eve were supposed to be blessed under God and then experience true ownership. In restoration, we are blessed first, then we and all we own will recover the country and dedicate to God. God will perhaps give it back. The false parents seized ownership, while True Parents bequeath true ownership.
Many people want to live according to their urges. When Adam and Eve violated God’s law, He had to expel them from the Garden of Eden. The same law is in effect. My position is now fully established to the world level. If you break that law, you cannot survive. You must understand the gravity of this principle. The foundation you are sitting on may look humble, but it is the result of much sacrifice and martyrdom. An enormously high price was paid so the Unification Church could stand. Can you take it lightly?
Your spouse will have certain faults. In the past, God tried to accommodate the unreasonable and childish desires of men and women. Various religions developed. We have greater knowledge, so we have to take greater responsibility.
The four realms of heart
There are four heartistic realms and three kingship realms that comprise the shimjung realm. When God created the first ancestors of mankind, He had a certain heartistic attitude. Following God’s pattern, parents should cultivate a certain heart toward their children, children should cultivate a certain heart toward their parents, and husband and wife a certain heart to-wards each other. This heavenly mind-set and code of conduct expresses the heartistic attitudes God had when He created mankind and gave His blessing to them.
There is an orderly development of the realm of heart. First, since everybody starts as a child, there is the children’s heart I toward their parents. When another child is born into the family, the brother /sister relationship comes about. When the children grow up, they enter the husband/wife relationship. When the couple becomes parents, they develop a heartistic attitude toward their children as well as all the rest of their family.
God has definite ideas how each of these relationships should be. But when the fall took place, these things no longer mattered to God. God still has His long-awaited expectation for this heartistic realm: that perfect man and perfect woman will form a family and fulfill God’s ideal in all these different relationships. Then God can finally say, “Yes, that’s what I wanted. Now you fill me up!”
The Lord of the Second Advent comes to perfect each position and teach you all the dimensions of heartistic relationships. Adam should be the first to set the good example. Then he can recreate Eve and bring her up to his level in perfecting these four positions.
I have torn down all the walls
1 could have avoided imprisonment, and everybody wondered why I didn’t. It would have been easier. However, the road lies straight ahead, and God cannot bend His principle. I have torn down all the barriers and flattened the path.
Now I have done everything necessary to enable even the traditional Christians to believe and receive me. My thinking is at a higher level than these Christians. It is time to proclaim the truth. I am now a leader of the world, not just of Chris-tians. High level people are watching and following me. If I take a step, they take a step. They follow without a sound. As more join in, the sound will get bigger and bigger until at last it breaks your eardrum. After that, all will follow.
I walk the straight road without compromise. People found some fault by which they could put me into prison, but I went straight ahead. Now everything is freed. Without me where is this country going to go?
So take down all the walls of the satanic world. There is no castle of Satan remaining anywhere on the earth, no walls Satan can dwell behind. True Parents can relate directly with the families of all five billion people on earth.
Restoration of Eve
God needs a woman in Eve’s position. Fallen Eve embraced Cain and Abel, and that embrace took them toward hell. At the time of the Second Advent, people will belong to their original parents. True Parents can transform all humanity through one embrace.
American women need True Mother’s teaching. True Mother is the central mother, the central woman. True Mother’s mission is to embrace three kinds of human beings: those on Satan’s side, religious people on God’s side, and her direct lineage.
Mother’s way is first to sacrifice for the sake of the religious world. When Mother and the religious world combine, they must sacrifice for the outside world. After that Mother, elder son and Father combine into one. You need a clear direction; otherwise, you cannot reach heaven. This is the time of family reunion.
Until now, Mother followed in my footsteps, just like a shadow. Mother’s golden rule was to be totally obedient to Adam. Now that Mother has fulfilled her course, I could go to Korea and present Eve and proclaim the worldwide liberation of women. Mother proclaims the liberation of all womanhood from the tyrann·y and misery brought about by fallen man.
Now I am in the brother’s position to all the women of the world. With a protective eye, I watch over all those who have been molested and hurt by men. It is the role of the eldest brother to make sure that all the women in the world grow as daughters of God. He must make sure they are properly treated as daughters of God, given their proper heartistic position, and nurtured as a wife within God’s blessing. All women should grow through the positions of daughter, sister and wife, and eventually come into the mother’s position.
Women are yearning for freedom, peace and happiness. The best way to achieve these ideals is to become one with Mother. God needs to see the true daughter, true sister, true wife and true mother. So I have now allowed all womankind to become one with Mother. That door is wide open now.
Bring your family along
Restoration is like a ladder that you cannot climb by your-self. You first have to bring your sons and daughters with you. In years past people had to join as individuals, but now you can restore your family.
Women will connect to the heartistic realm of Mother and learn these four heartistic positions. Then they will come back to their family and become one with each son and daughter. Together the mother and children will become one with the father and return to Mother again. Finally, I will give my approval, and restoration will be complete.
The husband in the archangel position will gain the blessing of Adam’s position, the better position. At the time of restoration, Adam and Eve can return to their positions of God’s son and daughter. This is a tremendous blessing and accomplishment of restoration.
Loving the enemy
There are two kinds of children that need to be restored: stepchildren and real children. How can stepmother and stepchildren unite with the real mother and real children? Children who have the same father but different mothers become enemies.
For the real mother to harmonize with the stepmother, she must love the stepchildren more than her own children. This is the only way to make unity among them. When the True Mother loves her stepchildren more than her real children she has true freedom. Even though she suffers, she has freedom. If she does not do that, she is fettered, and the children are not free either.
It may be easy to say that you should love Cain first and then Abel, but human beings are simply not built that way. Also I must be able to deeply care about the women in the Unification Church even more than my wife. You must love Cain more than Abel. It is like dying, but you have to do it.
God gave His own son in order to restore His enemies. Therefore, He can tell us, “Love thy enemy.” Jesus loved those who pierced his side and prayed, “Father, forgive them because they do not know what they are doing.” The early Christians went to foreign countries to evangelize since people in their own homeland didn’t listen to them. Rome was Jesus’ enemy. There are lots of stepchildren who came about, so how can God accommodate them if His children do not love their enemy?
At this last blessing I did not discriminate. I wanted to give the blessing to members and non-members. I extended the love of the family to nonfamily. Then they became family.
Mother and I are proud of each other
I am like the king on the throne, the center of all God’s children. I represent all the good brothers and the perfected heart of a husband. Should I stand in a position where Mother can frown and say, “You are not a good enough husband”? Or should I treat her in such a way that she can always admire and respect me? Everywhere Mother goes, she wants to brag about her husband.
I also have reason to be proud of Mother. Representing all people, she obeyed me more than any woman here on earth. I am now in a position which God yearned to see, and I am bequeathing to all men and women the opportunity to become original sons and daughters of God. When people are perfected, they can realize God’s heart, and God gives them the power of creation-the blessing of sons and daughters.
Heartistic training in the family
As they grow, children develop their heartistic attitude toward their parents and their heartistic position as brothers and sisters. They learn the roles of children and of brothers and sisters, always keeping God in mind. The childhood years are very important. While we are growing in our family, we need perfect training. There are hundreds of millions of families in the world. Unless you are accustomed to correct relationships within the family, you cannot relate to all of them peacefully.
The love between parents and children is vertical love. The love between husband and wife is that of left and right, and the love between brothers and sisters is that of front and rear. All these dimensions comprise a sphere. Your heartistic training is supposed to lead you to perfection; therefore, the family is indeed the training ground, the perfect textbook of all kinds of relationships.
Your training expands with the heartistic realms of grand-parents, grandchildren, in-laws, stepchildren, uncles and aunts. Extended family relationships develop your attitude to-ward the rest of mankind. You should feel that people of all age groups are the extension of your family. When that is the case, you will pass all the tests of God and be an example to others. When you accomplish this extended heartistic realm, God will tell others, “You should learn from him. He is the typical example of My love.”
Qualification for marriage
Adam was in the elder brother’s position and Eve in the younger sister’s position. After mastering the heartistic relation-ships as children and as brother and sister, they would have been heartistically prepared to connect as husband and wife.
Not everybody is qualified to become a husband or wife just because they have become an adult. You have to experience the other levels of relationship before becoming husband and wife. Have you loved your parents in a heavenly way? Have you loved your brothers and sisters in a heavenly way? Are you prepared to love your spouse in a heavenly way?
The kingship of past, present and future
Everybody has the potential to experience God’s position. If Adam and Eve had not fallen, God would have been the king, and Adam and Eve would have been prince and princess, on the way to becoming king and queen one day. One country would have developed centered on Adam’s culture, and its citizens would all be of royal families, centering on one center.
You have to treat each other like royalty. The grandfather is the retired king, parents are the incumbent king, and the children are the future kings. Your parents represent not only your family, but the entire family of mankind, and the future king needs to inherit from them. The three great kingships-grand-father, father and son-were to be fulfilled in every family. When we live this standard here on earth, in the spirit world we would live eternally in the palace of the king. With the advent of our True Parents, all these four heartistic realms and the three kingdoms have been accomplished.
Would you prefer to be a citizen of a democratic country where the president reigns for four years, or would you rather belong to a country governed by an eternal king and queen from your own family, a country where you too will become that king and queen automatically one day? Democracy is not eternal. From the brothers’ era we are moving to the parents’ era. True Parents’ family and fallen families now come face to face. Every family must follow True Family in order to go to heaven.
Conditions in Jesus’ family
The most basic restoration is rebirth. Even though you are grown you must somehow go back inside Father’s body, to a prenatal state. God used Tamar and her twin sons to set up the perfect condition. At first the elder son was going to come out, but then the younger son pushed himself out and became the elder son.
Jesus, too, laid a special condition through his birth to Mary. “Only begotten son” are not simple words. If people had understood Jesus and supported him, within seven years, Jesus would have accomplished what I have accomplished now.
Zachariah’s wife and Jesus’ mother should have united. Zachariah’s tribe and Joseph’s tribe should have found a good bride for Jesus from Zachariah’s family. Jesus’ mother worried about a wedding that didn’t have any meaning. Jesus knew this, and he felt so indignant, saying, “Your son, the center of God’s whole dispensation should get married to restore all mankind, and you don’t even think about that! You are worried about another person’s wedding.”
Many times Joseph asked Mary who Jesus’ father was. Of course, Mary couldn’t say. She just answered, “The Holy Spirit.” Do you think Joseph really believed that? Mary and Joseph quarreled so much that Mary left young Jesus in Jerusalem. Three days later she found him with the priests. Jesus was very angry saying, “Where else would I be but in my Father’s house?” He was forsaken by his mother and father!
If Jesus’ relatives had known what was in store for them, Jesus would have had no problem gaining a foundation. If John the Baptist had offered his foundation to Jesus, how could Jesus not have been successful in teaching the truth?
I restored sonship, parentship and kingship
I have a tremendous foundation which is not visible. Based on my knowledge and restoration of thousands of situations and the testimonies in the scriptures, I proclaimed Messiahship.
Is there any record that elder sonship had to be restored? By my gaining elder sonship, a condition was established through which I could subdue Gorbachev. Kim II Sung pro-claimed that he is messiah on the satanic side; I have to subjugate him, too.
The restoration of parentship and kingship will give rise to the royal family. I liberate all mankind and Mother works to liberate womankind. Together, we restore all people and establish the kingdom, which then gives rise to the royal families. Whoever becomes one within the family and one with God, instantly becomes a royal family.
Go inside the Messiah to be reborn
What does it mean to be born again, and why is it so important? A lot of people were born illegitimately as far as God is concerned. God cannot call them His own, but anyway they were born; what can you do? You must go inside me in order to be reborn. In order to do that you have to deny yourself completely.
As a result of the fall, the positions of wife, sister, daughter and mother were lost. All four of the heartistic positions were ruined. Therefore, to restore that, women have to meet one perfect man to connect to heartistically and find a way to be restored. My position is to protect women and to restore and repair their trust in a husband, a brother, a father and to all relations.
Two thousand years ago, everyone had to find a way to go back to Jesus’ body and be born again. If the wife of Zachariah had become one with Mary, fallen people would have gone through the process of being born again through women and been connected to Jesus.
What a desolate life Jesus had! What a lack of support he suffered! Nobody understood what Jesus was all about. He had no one to speak to. Even his own mother and aunt, who were supposed to support him in God’s dispensation, didn’t know a thing.
How difficult it is to work something out if you have no earthly foundation! Christians have come a long way, but that doesn’t mean people can continue believing in the wrong things.
Christians had to go over the hurdle of life and death with a deep yearning to meet Jesus. They yearned to contact Jesus’ spirit for just a few minutes, even if death was the price they had to pay. With that kind of intense prayer, Jesus and the Holy Spirit can work.
The role of the Holy Spirit
To be reborn means to come from the father’s bone marrow. If the Holy Spirit says, “Do this,” while a baby is still in the mother’s womb, it must, because it is still a tiny being, even without life yet. It must be obedient.
There are eight layers of thick walls to stop Jesus from going down and man from coming up to meet him. Only with true love can we push through them. We spend a long time within the father and then within the mother before we are born again.
Who initiates the action of love? Just as Eve took the wrong initiative towards Adam, in restoration Eve must initiate the right action. This is why the Bible says if you sin against the Father you can be forgiven, but not if you sin against the Holy Spirit. That is the mother’s spirit, and you must become totally one with the mother’s spirit.
The second Messiah should re-veal everything about Jesus’ situation. I had to meet the founders of religions, debate them and tell them where they were wrong. I had to subjugate them and bring them into unity. Now God has said, “Everything is in your hands.” With that, the Messiah must come down to earth. I have just proclaimed Messiahship.
I built a new forty-year foundation
The four thousand-year foundation lost by the failure of Christianity to accept me after World War II had to be restored in forty years. It was forty years of incredible difficulty. Every-body opposed me, whether or not. People were on Satan’s side because they didn’t know what it takes to be on God’s side.
During these forty years, I walked straight, bringing all eight walls down, and re-built the necessary foundation. I was the only hope America and Christianity had, but they didn’t know it, so they opposed me. Only by wisdom and God’s help did I escape death and come to this point.
If I die now, all that needs to be done has been done. From this time on, if countries and individuals oppose me, no benefit will come to them. There is no scholar or professor who can dare challenge me, debating any matter of philosophy or theology. I have proved that without me there is no solution to the world’s dilemma. There are even voices saying, “In the last five thousand years of human history, we see the highest level saint living here on earth. It is Reverend Moon.”
The world is moving toward unity
I know the Unification Church will grow faster now. You see the world is already moving in that direction. The world is moving towards an alliance. Europe is moving towards one passport and one currency. Unless America can make unity with Canada and Mexico, it will not survive economically. Through mass marriage, people cross over national borders, racial borders and cultural borders.
Now, from the proclamation of the Messiah’s coming on earth in August, 1992, everything is settling down. God’s world is definitely settling down on a firm foundation. We have a strong armament of truth that can break down anything. Peace will break out. We have no counterpart anywhere. Truth is on my side. People on Satan’s side will turn around and look for me, once they understand.
You have to proclaim to all four corners of the world: “The savior is Reverend Moon. True Parents are preparing heavenly, eternal peace for everyone. True Parents’ gate is open to everyone.” When I proclaim to the world that True Parents are on earth, Jesus will become one with me, and the Holy Spirit will become one with Mother.
Rebirth through Mother
I inherited all the historical foundation of women and then in 1960 received Mother. The way to rebirth was opened when Hyo Jin Nim and Ye Jin Nim were born, enabling all mankind to go to Father’s inside and be born again. When our children were born, the members ate the same kind of food the children were given. Doing that established a condition that the same labor was given towards their life as was given to Hyo Jin Nim and Ye Jin Nim. This is real restoration, not just conceptual. Many, many hundreds of family members gathered together with all their heart and dedication. It was a spiritually rich time.
To bring Mother into my family aroused great opposition and jealousy, so for three years I tried to ignore her. Some-times I would visit her, but she didn’t know what was going on, and I never explained it to her. I rarely took Mother any-where with me. Most of the time I would take along other women.
After three years the older women told me, “Mother is too pitiful; you shouldn’t treat your bride like that. Let us bring her in.” If I had done that at first, they would have gone in a different direction. These women all felt they were the spouse for me, but they learned that they had to serve young Mother. Finally they said, “Mother you have suffered enough for our sake; we will serve you as our Mother.”
When people come inside of Mother, she comes to me, and I approve of it and give birth to them again. Now they are in the restored position. This is restoration by the root-basic, essential restoration, not conceptual or conditional. The condition to be born again has taken so much sacrifice; millions of lives were paid for the position you are standing in now.
Now is the time for Mother’s settlement. She will gather all types of women from teenagers to grandmothers; all the essence of womanhood must be gathered back together in God’s ownership.
Mother and I bore the cross for you
What it takes to be born again is unimaginable. Until the True Parents establish themselves, real rebirth cannot take place. I did this hard work not for myself or for God, not even for my own children. I did it for you. My family might have looked like some glorious rich family, but it is not so. None of the children ever saw their parents in a regular way. I was always worrying about the rearing of the stepsons and step-daughters. I didn’t really take care of my true sons and daughters.
When Mother suffered those first three years, she came to know a stepmother’s heart. The Unification foundation has been made by Mother going through this incredible suffering and road of the cross. Just like Jesus bore his cross, Mother bore her own cross for you. She did this to give you rebirth.
I didn’t walk the path of restoration for the sake of mankind; I didn’t even do it for the sake of the Unification Church. Ultimately, I did it for you, so that the benefit of your work will return to the rest of mankind.
Restoration depends on you
You have to understand that restoration depends mainly on you. Such a huge price has been paid for your position! You have to understand your value before the cosmos will start paying attention to your position. If you think you have no position, the cosmos pays no attention, either.
Do what you must do-whether I watch you or not, whether I ask you or not. Four thousand years of effort has prepared each one of you to be here today. You must realize the importance and value of your individual position now and witness to families, not to individuals.
Because the family has fallen, the family needs to be restored now. So reach out to families. The fastest way of doing this is to become tribal messiahs and go back to your hometowns. Start witnessing to families-twelve families, seventy-two families, one hundred and twenty families-then you will have your foundation, too. The thirty thousand newly blessed couples, plus the already blessed couples, equals approximately fifty thousand couples. Then the next blessing should be about half a million.
The family system of Satan’s world is completely breaking down. Your mission during the next three years is to digest your family system and take twelve families to the blessing. You need to do this so you can register for the nation of one world. This will be like a birth certificate registering you as a citizen of this new kingdom of heaven.
Will you determine to march forward to that goal? Can you ever separate from your Father and Mother? You should think, “Even though I may forsake my own husband, still I cannot let go of Father.” It is your destiny to find twelve couples.
Father will pray.
PRAYER
Loving Father,
Although no one ever understood that the long and difficult path of restoration was filled with Your heartache (han), you have raised up this pitiful son and allowed me to feel Your heart. I am approaching the age of eighty and the fact that I was able to overcome this hill at such an age can be thought of as happiness in one way, but on the other hand it can be thought of as lamentable and mortifying.
In the last days, the Christian cultural realm was established, yet Israel and the opportunity for heavenly blessing was lost. When I think that all the things that are raised up in the midst of such ruins are the used and recycled things from the trash, I am ashamed in front of Heavenly Father. However, I earnestly pray that You can be comforted and have hope, for I raised up sons and daughters in my place to prepare the youthful era. I believe they can fulfill everything that is left unfulfilled in the world and perfect themselves in front of Heavenly Father.
I never knew that the path of restoration would have so many heartaches and be so difficult. After realizing it, I still walked this path, for it was the unavoidable way of heaven. As I walked with Your protection, I have reached this blessed position where I can be proud of the victorious supremacy representing all nations. Now I can proclaim to everyone to follow me, follow True Parents, at this time. You allowed me to have such an era as the fulfillment of the dispensational desire of history and all humankind. This is the day which Your heart longed for. I pray that You do not abandon the land of Korea.
Now, when I go back to Korea, I have to cope with the remaining realm of struggle. Knowing that there is no one who can handle the political problem of North and South, the current economic problem, and all the cultural background, I realize that in front of me there lies an enormous responsibility which I must bear by myself.
After giving every ounce of effort I see that the day I longed for is coming closer. In the midst of hope, together with the beginning of tomorrow, I earnestly desire that You can bless Korea through Kodiak and the path of Mother who will return after going through Japan.
Father, I earnestly pray that You can bless the Unification members throughout the world to understand that they have the responsibility-for True Mother’s journey-to become one mind and one body and to pray with their utmost effort.
I ask You once again, by Your will, to permit my life to end without shame. Before that day, I askd You to protect these young American children who determined themselves today. When realizing how grave this mission of being responsible for America is, I earnestly hope that they can withstand the difficult path, become patriotic warriors who are worthy of blessing, and participate in this battle.
I earnestly ask You to bless them to be a people who can be bold for Your will and for the day to come, so that they can receive the blessing of heavenly love, life and lineage and become the enforcers of heavenly authority. I pray all these things in the name of True Parents. Amen.
