Excerpts from Father’s concluding words following the reading of the new revelations from Dr. Sang Hun Lee on May 30, 1999 at Belvedere International Training Center, USA
We must understand the kind of crime Satan committed. He corrupted an innocent, sinless young boy and girl. He made them fall. The over 400 million couples who will receive the blessing are taking the position of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, who were to receive the blessing at that time. Because the gates of hell have been opened, the entire spirit world and physical world are now liberated. The ideal world we are just about to build and enter into is the world of peace, where there is no suffering, no pain, no negative elements of life whatsoever. Innocent, pure young people are the ones who must be restored through the blessing. All those in the spirit world who have been liberated by True Parents will be mobilized to accomplish this goal in the physical world.
The original Satan has come forward to support True Parents in giving the blessing to the 400 million couples. Through giving that support to True Parents he found the way to be forgiven and liberated. If each of the 400 million existing couples brings even one person per couple then God’s Kingdom can be established in this earthly world at once. There are more than one billion Christians as well as many other religious people among the billions of people in this world. They are the ones to go out and bring their relatives and friends to the place of blessing. Because all the religious leaders and saints and sages in the spirit world are already blessed and liberated, they are ready to help us bring all the religious people on earth to True Parents to receive the blessing. You are the ones who should go out and bring them here.
Do you want to be defeated by Satan or win? Satan has been leading the entire world. There is no way for us to restore those people back to God unless we go out and reach them representing True Parents, saying, “I am a second Reverend Moon.” Then you have the power and authority to restore them. Reverend Moon’s dream is bigger than the entire satanic tree of this world. His dream has more branches and leaves than this satanic tree. Reverend Moon’s tree represents all humanity. We should think Reverend Moon’s tree represents our own entire ancestral tree. It can cover the entire world. This should be our understanding when we go out to the world. We have to bring all sorts of satanic tree branches, leaves and buds and engraft them into Reverend Moon’s true olive tree.
What about you? Do you want to take the position of son or the position of servant? No matter how hard Satan’s side works, his position remains that of servant. Those branches and leaves connecting with True Parents as sons and daughters automatically inherit Father’s victory. Don’t forget this concept. Do not become someone who is defeated by Satan, but a victor. Would you be willing to fast for 40 days? What about Satan; if I told him to fast for 40 days, do you think he would survive more than 4 days? You have to consider yourself to be the victor because you would fast even longer than forty days if it were necessary, but Satan would not be able to do it.
There are many young people here in America. Are you willing to bring 120 innocent young people back to God, or more? It is time for you to decide.
[While Peter Kim translated Father tossed a number of bananas out into the audience.] Those who received bananas raise your hands. Seven. This is a sign of blessing. The banana tree bears fruit throughout four seasons. Seven is the number of completion, or perfection. Do you therefore want to bring 7 young people to the blessing, or 70, or 700? It has to be at least the perfection stage. If 7 is the formation stage, 70 is growth stage and 700 perfection stage, or even greater would be to want to bring 7,000 people. We could have the confidence to bring even 7,000 countries. But of course there are not that many countries in this world. So just 7,000 people is no problem. What is your choice, do you want to bring 700 or 7,000 young people back to God? [7,000!] With all your senses open and united, joined with God as one you can do anything, can’t you?[Yes!] I am grateful that you have given such a beautiful answer, sitting here in this hot sun, sweating, without having had anything to eat yet.
Suppose an American president could be elected who had received God’s blessing. Then all America’s power could be mobilized to enable the ambassadors in all the nations of the world to save the young people in those nations from the problem of youthful decadence. Then would 400 million be a problem or not?
Confucianists, Buddhists and other religious people waiting for these young people. Jesus came to this nation from the spirit world to work with the Christian people. However, the American people have not set the proper condition to receive Jesus and work together with him to save all Christians. Whenever you visit a family you should feel that Jesus Christ is your younger brother and you are visiting his family, and that as your younger brother’s family they will listen to you.
According to the Principle, the unification of the world should be achieved by utilizing and mobilizing the spirit world. Are you mobilizing the spirit world to come to the earth and work right now? If your ancestors see you taking an easy way they may challenge you and push you not to rest. If you then continue to be lazy, they may take you to the spirit world.
There is no indemnity, because this is the era of direct dominion. I therefore carried out a cosmic liberation ceremony in the Pantanal region on May 14. The reason I chose May 14 for the ceremony is that prior to the Madison Square Garden blessing on June 13 last year, I spent the three days from May 13 to 15 in the Pantanal, during which time I had a showdown prayer in front of God in order to liberate the entire spirit world and to open the gates of hell. On that foundation, True Parents could give the blessing to the 360 million couples, hold the liberation ceremony of heaven and earth and liberate the entire spirit world. To commemorate this I picked the middle day, May 14 this year for this cosmic liberation ceremony. This year the Day of All Things falls on June 14, in the sixth month. The number six is a number representing Satan, but 14 represents the completion number 10 plus the four position foundation number 4, so this represents the completion of liberation. Since this first ceremony was carried out in the Pantanal, the Pantanal is now the holy ground of all holy grounds in the cosmos. All the liberated blessed couples should visit there and pay their respects. Counting today and tomorrow until June 14 there are 16 days, or 8 times 2. The number 8 is the number representing a new start. Therefore we should have absolute confidence that the entire spirit world is on our side, and as we heard from the reading, Satan, Lucifer, has voluntarily surrendered to God, True Parents and humankind. It will therefore be an easy task to bring 400 million couples to the blessing.
[Father describes in English the providential model God made through the Old, New and Completed Testament levels of offering, how all things, children and parents were cast out, and that finally True Parents, the true main root of true love, were found. This means blessing, springtime, and a victorious world.] If you do as I have instructed, do you think you will perish or prosper? Not only America, but all humanity will be liberated. All the people in the world, even criminals, will become brothers and sisters, then the world can be dominated by the Lord of the Second Coming. Once people are connected by blood lineage, nothing can sever the bond. There should be no walls or fences between people.
How much God has poured out His effort over time. Over the past 24 years you have received Father’s grace and help many times. How can you repay that? Your mission is to bring substantial fruit. It is not Father’s responsibility but absolutely your mission and responsibility. Can you deny that?
Your eyes have seen Father’s gestures, heard him speaking and tasted what delicious food is waiting there…a world of higher artistic dimension, with more sounds, more dancing, more singing, a higher level of hearing and such a good and exciting feeling with God visiting there. Like Father, constantly speaking, speaking, forgetting lunch, forgetting dinner, not noticing whether it is day or night. Until now that has been my face and mouth. Is it a beautiful mouth? It has been always swollen and aching, speaking for 80 years. Think about God, who, compared with Father, has been talking hundreds of thousands of times longer. But God did not have a body and could not connect with this substantial human world. I am teaching you now the way for you to follow in my footsteps. Will these footsteps lead to heaven or hell? [Heaven.]
With an attitude of absolute obedience you can go through Satan’s tunnel. If you have your own concepts, you cannot go through. The only way is to forget everything and follow. It is that difficult. If you allow concepts of life outside to enter in, Satan will immediately hook you by the neck.
Considering all these points, you have to make a determination to bring not only 7000, but 7,700 young people to God. Can you do it?
From now on you have to dedicate yourselves to the salvation of the leaders of government on all levels, and if they do not open their doors you have to challenge them. If you visit a country you have to think you are in the position to liberate the president of that nation and all people of that nation and build the Kingdom of God there.
Since I have been chastising you with bitter words this morning, don’t you want to say, “Father, go away” now? [No!] No wonder people say you are crazy and brainwashed! (Laughter.) You are all bright young people who have received high education and many different degrees so your minds function faster than those of ordinary people. Your spirit and body and your attitude become richer as you listen to me and absorb my color. Is it true? The outside world itself calls what you are experiencing brainwashing. It means you will have a new and pure mind.
Within one generation, Father’s generation, we have to restore all things to their original value through indemnity. There is not so far to go. If you believe in and deeply trust True Parents you can solve everything within one generation.
