These words were shared with a small gathering of some fifteen leaders in Hannam-dong Official Residence on the evening of June 14,1999 following the official declaration at the Olympic Gymnasium in Seoul earlier in the day.
The mission of Messiah means being born for the will and completing the will during the course of his whole life. The realm of liberation means the liberation of Kingdom of Heaven and liberation of God. Those who are trapped in Satan’s jail through Satan’s blood lineage must be liberated. Then we must liberate all things. I am thus making a connection of heart with nature by fishing and hiking in the Pantanal.
Drawing together the love of God, the love of humankind, and the love of all things, I have led man through the history of indemnity and proper economic restoration, all centering on the will of God. I offered special devotions (conditions) from May 13 to 15, 1998, in the Pantanal, in order to connect God’s will from the lowest pit to the highest pinnacle. Based on that foundation, the Proclamation of the Liberation of Cosmos could be made on May 14 this year.
May 30 saw the Proclamation of True Parents’ East and West (Global) Victory Celebration. Through that victory a complete horizontal foundation was laid. Based on this vertical proclamation of today (Proclamation of True Parents’ Cosmic Victory Celebration) God will be freed from all worries, and He will be welcomed wherever He goes.
One problem remains. Father must introduce God to this world again. Do you understand what that means? I must liberate Him. This is His land, His country, His family, His tribe, and His people. Therefore, we must accomplish the blessing of 400 million couples. Then what are the biggest problems facing the world today? The problems of youth. The problems of family breakdown. Then there is AIDS. Time is running out.
Then the question is, what family will be introduced. Father’s family must be introduced first, and that was a concern. But immediately before Father came back to Korea this time, Ye Jin and Hyo Jin gathered in one room and pledged they would completely support True Parents’ endeavors.
The responsibility of Adam
Based on the fact that True Parents have fulfilled their responsibility the first son and first daughter can take their positions, and the way of the second generation of the Unification family will be an easy one. People will thus come to realize that the Satanic world and our families are different.
Then what is the final conclusion? The final conclusion is the perfection of Adam. Adam failed to fulfill his responsibility. What is responsibility? The cornerstone of the blessed families, the world, the cornerstone of the family, tribe, people, nation, Kingdom of Heaven on Earth, Kingdom of Heaven in Heaven, had become tainted. We must cleanse that dirt. Thus, we must clean up the spirit world as well as the physical world.
What is another of Adam’s failed responsibilities? It is the reversal of dominion. Satan reversed dominion and dominated Eve. Eve then dominated Adam. Because Adam and Eve reversed dominion, God Himself lost ground. Thus when the time to liberate God comes, perfection of Adam must be fulfilled. In order for Adam to perfect himself, all the reversed dominions must be reverted back to their original positions.
We must restore the fallen world, fallen lineage, and false lineage into true lineage. Until now there were so many complications resulting from relationships. When they went to the spirit world all the lovers were entangled in a confused web. Sang Hun Lee has reported to us about the phenomena in hell, including the content about Lucifer. The reason that man and woman took the wrong path was that Adam did not fulfill his responsibility. Because the dominion was reversed, we cannot correct the problem without restoring the original position. Through the reversal of dominion, Satan held dominion over the lineage.
The cause of the reversal of dominion between the archangel and Eve was false love. The cause of the reversal of dominion between Adam and Eve was also the corruption of the lineage [false love]. Human beings with the tainted lineage, however, are God’s children. God is in the position of a parent. But it is as if He were standing upside down. He has nowhere to go. God cannot enter the world of humankind. Who has known this truth?
From the day that Father knew this fact, his tears never stopped. How can God be in such a position? I could not see the sun because my eyes were always full of tears. God should have become the father of humankind. Whose father should God have become? He had to become the father of Adam and Eve. Even if ten thousand years of history came against them, they should not have parted. But all those difficulties separated something that could not be separated. Thus how painful it must have been for God to reunite them, these who have been separated.
Adam and Eve were the only begotten son and daughter of God who were to become parents of millions of generations of humankind. How sorrowful God must have been when they were lost. Moreover, God lost the intended way of love between Adam and Eve that He could have established as the tradition of love. God could not love them. They were His children, but He could not love them. God stood on that cross of pain. Who will liberate this sorrow from within Him? Adam. Adam must liberate that sorrow.
The history of religion progressed through the shedding of blood. In the Old Testament Age, people shed blood through offerings. God was supposed to be the sole owner, but all was lost. Thus, through the condition known as tithing, God tried to establish absolute faith, absolute love, and absolute obedience. The families of Israel were all supposed to be God’s families. That one family of absolute faith, absolute love, and absolute obedience was to be more valuable than all the families of the world.
Centering on Jacob and his victory, his 12 sons had met the day when they could establish the realm of Israel. God recognized the 12 sons of Jacob, representing the 12 tribes of Israel, as more valuable than anything in the Satanic world.
When the actual time to do battle came, we could not pray. When a person actually knows what he has to do, he cannot really pray. Who would he pray to? He must dedicate his life. He must go over the hill of devotion (jungsung) without prayer. Going over the hill of jungsung, as a restored Adam he had to clear a path of indemnity for the satanic world. As restored Adam, he had to tread the path of the perfection of Adam, desiring to tear down the wall surrounding God’s heart. Because his path was that which he had to go as the Second Advent, he did not pray, “Please help me” when difficulty came. People of the world, on the other hand, pray to God at the slightest sign of hardship.
Thus for 20 years while doing battle on the worldwide level, I did not pray. I did not pray the way others pray, sitting down. Even without prayer, I knew certain facts spiritually. Mind and body had to become one, and I knew that I had to make indemnity conditions for victory in order to return to God. I did not pray at times of difficulty, and 20 years passed. I started praying again last year, on August 1. I knew the time would come for me to guide Heavenly Father.
Keeping my purity, and with a certain spiritual knowledge, I had to discipline my body and align it with the world of mind. Because of Adam’s failure, this had to be done. Then all kinds of temptations came. Temptations from money, honor, ability, and women, all flooded the gates. Heaven itself sent all kinds of temptations, and Satan tried to hook me with so many different baits. Even though there were so many temptations, I knew the standard of spirit, conscience, and God’s heart. Thus centering on the standard of shimjung, my body had to control Satan as he clung to my body. That is why I did not pray in America.
When there were economic problems and other difficulties, I never prayed for money. I took responsibility. The way had to be prepared for even the body to be able to subjugate Satan. The world of the mind does not belong to the world of Satan. The mind had to overcome all kinds of obstacles. Then Father had to make a victorious foundation in the physical world by fighting Satan and bringing God to earth. This has been the goal of Father’s life. Do you understand? [Yes.]
The duties of filial piety and of loyalty were fulfilled. There was worldwide victory. Then, in uniting duty and mind of the Holy Son, I had to attend the eternal God. Thus, I have fulfilled the responsibility of the chosen people, which had to make a foundation of victory that was not tainted by the failure of the body. Only God knows the story of agony that accompanied the process towards that victory.
If someone prays and asks who Reverend Moon is, God will make him weep bitterly. When I enter the spirit world and tell Him, “I am back,” God, who is sitting at the top of heaven on a throne, with thousands of steps between Himself and me, might instantly descend those steps and greet me. When I think of how He will greet me, I have no regrets.
Our responsibility in front of Adam
God Himself is full of tears. I have the responsibility of a filial son, loyal subject, saint, and Holy Son to comfort Him. You should understand True Father who has walked that path. You should go the way of a filial son to one family, loyal subject to one nation, and saint to the world. You should realize that True Parents are the ones who must receive the inheritance from God, standing on one unified Kingdom of Heaven on earth and in heaven. You must, in turn, receive that inheritance from the Parents. You must understand what kind of path that involves. You must dedicate yourselves to liberating God, True Parents, and all things.
There are no more hardships and indemnity. Only one thing remains. Absolute faith, absolute faith! When God created the cosmos, the beginning point was absolute faith. Based on the foundation of absolute faith one can create the body of absolute love and achieve the perfect form of love. Thus, only with absolute faith can we invest absolute love. This love means standing in a position of desiring that everyone become better than oneself. The history of restoration through indemnity progressed through the repeated process of investing and then forgetting. History has witnessed this over thousands of years. We must know the toil and pain that God went through in order to find the family of Adam’s perfection. This family also is the family that must liberate God.
This family must be a proud representative of the tribe, the people, the world and cosmos. It must go over God’s pain and sorrow over losing all the ideals of creation and the hope of creation. We must realize that, without having a shimjung of liberation where one almost feels as though it were fortunate for Adam to have fallen, we cannot reach safe settlement.
Night or day I am single-minded according to this standard. When I die, when I face God, how will He greet me? I have lived 80 years of my life wanting to attend to a liberated God and to establish Father and Son relationship on earth. Realizing the fact that we have proclaimed True Parents’ Cosmic Victory Celebration, we should thank God, thank True Parents, and thank heaven and earth. We have established a foundation internally and externally, going beyond all God’s hopes and expectations and exceeding the role of perfected Adam. We are entering the realm of the fourth Adam where we have received the Kingdom of Heaven in heaven and on earth wholly as our inheritance. From that place of inheritance a new family will depart, and this is the hope of our victorious God and True Parents. Do you understand?
It is Adam’s responsibility to liberate God. We must go over the hill of perfection hundred times more than Adam has with body of shimjung and jungsung (devotion). We must become a filial son in the family, a loyal subject in the nation, a saint in the world, and a Holy Son in the cosmos, and we must receive all of God’s inheritance. This has been the life of our Parents.
We must devote everything for that cause. We must stand in the position where we are victorious beyond what the eternal God expects. When God can thus transmit His inheritance, we can conceive the victorious God’s authority in a new world that transcends the han of the fall. Moreover, all remnants of Satan’s blood lineage must be wiped away.
The father’s course to give the blessing
How do we keep the lineage pure for thousands of years? Along with the liberation of God the liberation of purity must be achieved on earth. When God thus is able to find us, when He is able to find the family, tribe, and people whom He can seek with joy, the sorrowful history of the fall will never again befall our family.
Until now, the blessing has been the church-level blessing. Because there is no nation, the national-level blessing has not been achieved. When we find a nation, we will pass into the age of the world-level blessing, and transcend the three stages of the blessing. Until now we have eaten Satan’s food, lived with Satan’s things and lived in Satan’s realm. We live in an environment where a person can fall, just as Adam and Eve fell at about the age of 16. The possibility of the fall is about 70 percent. There is a standard where, with the authority of a nation, such as with laws, we can do anything [such as protecting the purity of love]. When the church-level blessing turns into the national-level blessing, this can happen. Laws and a constitution with which to govern can be established. The time will come when the contradictions of life that conflict with original shimjung will be eradicated. From now on, any person in a public position in a nation will need to have a family.
I have already made progress towards that goal in America. The reason I established the Unification Theological Seminary in the United States is that I wanted America to take on the responsibility of the realm of first son. But America did not fulfill its responsibility. Thus, I have renewed the UTS graduates’ resolution. It was the responsibility of Christianity to bless unmarried men and women. Instead, I am the one who has blessed the Adams and Eves of America. I blessed those who were worse than Adam and Eve’s family. That was my responsibility. I had to do it. The entire foundation Christianity built to save those men and women was lost. The blessed families must realize that I had to find and bless those people who were worse than fallen Adam. Do you understand?
If God could, He would have blessed Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. God could not do that. How terrible God must have felt. I came as a prodigal son, took the position of first son, and in God’s place, blessed the men and women of America. Then I even had to bless those people who married merely by contract [cases where a couple married each other only for the purpose of receiving certain benefits of marriage]. One cannot even track them in the spirit world. Finding them is the responsibility of their children who have received the blessing.
Because blessed families did not fulfill their responsibility, the Parents had to shoulder the burden. One family’s fall in the Garden of Eden brought about chaos and hell. I carried the cross of that burden, and I sought out fallen families in order to save them. I was ashamed in front of God, but I still raised my hand and blessed them. You must realize that I was ashamed and embarrassed. You do not know that God had to shed tears in order to pave the way for Adam. You must understand this.
God had to abandon the one family. When Adam did not fulfill his responsibility, humankind was bound to go into hell. To reverse this I had to stand in the position of the body of God, upside down. I held onto them with the shimjung of disgrace, betrayal and han. Then I had to pioneer the way to life. No one knows the pain that I went through to build that road. Only God knows. If a spiritually open person asks who Reverend Moon is, he can only weep with bitter tears.
The world does not know that we are entering the realm of law. Everyone is enjoying free sex. I held onto those homosexuals and lesbians. You don’t know how difficult I felt having to hold onto them so as to save them. I could not pray. I had to be hit again and again. Kicked and kicked. You do not know that feeling. I have declared this proclamation of liberation with this heart. God is liberated. It is God’s heart to greet me with the greatest joy. I lived my whole life to guide God’s heart this way.
Offering on the altar of the providence
True Mother also has experienced so many hardships. In 40 years of marriage I ordered her to go through so many miserable situations. Because Father knew the heart of woman, Father forgave, comforted and pulled her hundreds of times. Even Mother does not know what went on.
Father wanted to walk the path of life where even God had to feel indebted to Father. You must realize that you are standing as the starting point and a foundation of history for the thousands of generations ahead. We are standing on the firm ground of restoration of the spirit world through the physical world. Thus you should realize that in the age of the fourth Adam your descendants could become the heir who can possess a new kingdom of heaven and earth of the cosmos. You should become the ancestors, teachers, and owners of that path, and should educate and guide the heirs who could walk that path.
The time has come for me to be able to avert shame. If not, all things will lament. I always let go of the first fish I caught, offering it to God. Even now 15 to 20 million people die each year in the world. Who is going to take responsibility for them? Because of Adam’s fall, a history of sorrow started, and the descendants had to pay indemnity. In order to take responsibility for those dying children, I led the providence of the ocean for decades, making ships and preparing to feed those people.
When a holy ground such as the Pantanal appears, Unificationists should visit it. They must lead their families there. It has become the starting point for a tribe to head towards the Kingdom of Heaven. Whole tribes should establish a nation, and they will say that their ancestors are blessed families of the Unification Church. They will all come to the Pantanal. All the ancestors in the spirit world and their future descendants—the citizens of the nations—will all come there. Because the Pantanal is God’s blessing, they will continue to offer devotions there. This is the condition that blessed families must set in order to complete the Kingdom of Heaven.
After the liberation of God, which families will God truly love, among all blessed families? Father has made an educational facility in order to clarify whom God will love. Those people will be taught the ways of loyalty and will be set up as leaders.
Thus I told everyone to send their children to UTS. Some families do not even consider sending their children to UTS. I told them to send their children to Sun Moon University, and they don’t even dream of it. We cannot employ those people who went to other schools. That is the mistake of the parents, and those parents also cannot be placed in important positions.
Do you understand, Rev. Kwak? [Yes.] You must employ those who graduated Father’s school, those who followed Father’s direction. [Yes.] Reverend Kwak, you also did not graduate from UTS, right? [Yes.] Thus one issue is who will be leaders in a new church system.
About a thousand UTS graduates must be installed. Recently I gave training to the UTS graduates for three days, from June 4 to 6 in America, which is the first son nation. In that three days they made a new determination. They know that Father went to UTS every day for three years from 1975. They had to repent based on the content that I gave them during that time. America destroyed the second generation Christian culture. (UTS graduates should restore that failure.)
Because way for the blessing did not open, so many families broke down. The Keum Ran Church is the Church of Hwal Lan Kim. The Keum Ran Church called Unification Church a church of adultery. Now look what happened. That Keum Ran Church actually became the church of adultery itself. There were demonstrations against the ministers.
To bypass this kind of sin, centering on Christian civilization, Japan, Germany, Italy, Britain, America, and France were set up in providential positions. Britain begot America. France is the archangelic nation. So all the spiritual standards were manifested in nations. The people of those nations were to welcome the Second Advent and receive the blessing. They had to remarry. That potential to receive the blessing was destroyed when Christianity—Protestant and Catholic—opposed me. They had to receive retribution for their failure. I had to take that responsibility, and therefore took the burden of so many sins upon my shoulder. From that lowest pit I salvaged the situation, made bridges and climbed up to the original position.
The women of the Unification Church were supposed to help Father when he was suffering to make that bridge and climb it. Instead when I had to climb, they tried to block my way. Do you understand? Even if they had to sacrifice themselves, they should have made those bridges. Instead they thought in the opposite way, saying, “God has blessed me, and my place is here.”
The blessing of the family is for the sake of the blessing of the tribe. The family should sacrifice for the tribe. The tribe must sacrifice for the people. The people must sacrifice for the nation. The nation must sacrifice for the world. And the world must sacrifice for heaven and earth. Heaven and earth must then sacrifice for God. This is the way of restoration through indemnity.
The Messiah suffers to save humankind
Those who have used the will for their own sake should have been taken away without the chance of being forgiven. But people did things without knowing, and therefore I must take responsibility. Do you understand? The 360 million couples blessing should have been held in Japan. But they (the people/government of Japan) did not know, so I am taking responsibility. I had to salvage the whole situation and take responsibility. February 7 is a day in the coldest period of the year. We could not help but imagine that everyone was going to freeze to death. We must salvage and resurrect the offerings that God can receive.
The world does not have a real nation right now. America, England, France, and Russia are not real nations. They all think of themselves as “liberal”. What is liberal? Liberty means freedom. How can a person have freedom? Can he have freedom when he has lost heaven and earth? America does not exist. There is no nation for the youths of this world. There is no society. “Individualism” and “privacy” are words that have caused the loss of heaven and earth.
The world of mind has infinite desire. But our environment exists only for the individual (which is contrary to the bigger desire of the mind). Therefore, the hippie movement came about. They ran away from home. There was no one at home who welcomed them. Those living at home all rejected them. History of betrayal will end in betrayal. Nobody welcomes them. Nobody welcomes selfish people. Thus everybody gets separated, and each becomes individual palace of the devil. When individualism becomes supreme value and privacy is respected beyond all other values, there is no relationship with God.
But as True Parent, I still had to hold on to those people and save them. I had to sustain the miserable toil of restoring the one family of Adam and Eve (Saving those people is related to the restoration of Adam and Eve.)
In order to turn the nation around (save the nation), I did not sleep day or night, all alone. Nobody knows this fact, even my children, even Mother. It was a serious matter. I could not even tell anything to Mother. Mother had to walk her own course of indemnity. I can now talk about it. I can now discuss it. Yet there is nothing to discuss because all is done. Based on what I have done, our family must establish the foundation where God can dwell and hang up the signpost of the first family of attendance to God.
Let’s look at my family. The second sons all died on the road. In the Unification Church as well, the second person had to die away from home. The late president Eu is the second couple, right? Hee Jin is also my second son, right? Heung Jin is also second son. They all died away from home. The law of indemnity does not change. The law of Heaven is unchanging. However, they could not digest everything. Moreover, I could not shed tears for them, even if those tears were coming from the original mind (true heart). Because I still had not greeted the day when I could comfort them in God’s place, the day when I could return glory to God, I could not even shed tears for my own children.
Therefore, I established the Day of Victory of Love within three days of Heung Jin’s passing away. After that day, a person could win over death. I do not know how many times I battled, carrying the flag of parent of love, on the crossroads of life and death. Thus Heung Jin was able to pass into spirit world as the elder brother of Jesus. Then just as Jesus resurrected and just as the Holy Spirit descended on earth on the day of Pentecost, all the good spirits in the spirit world could come down to earth.
But Jesus could not go beyond the national level. He must wait till the national boundary is crossed. Reverend Moon blessed Jesus on January 3, 1973, but he could not live with his spouse because he had not crossed the national boundary. He had not found a nation. But the time had come to be able to go over that boundary, on the world-wide level. I therefore reestablished Jesus and blessed the saints. Why? They could descend to earth and establish a standard for a form of family that could attend True Parents. Then they could return to spirit world and, centering on the liberation of their family, live in the Kingdom of Heaven.
Who knows this complicated content? I lead the providence by sorting out all those complications and reorganizing them. Moreover there is no tradition of Adam’s family in the history of providence until now. I had to reestablish all the traditions and create a bridge. I built the bridge of victory where God could go up and down freely.
Father’s responsibility is to restore the position of king and prince of liberated, cosmic love. I had to take responsibility for the things and people that were on Satan’s side, without shame. Dignity and honor were not an issue. Do you understand? I had to do unimaginable things to save humanity.
All has passed. I have even blessed my parents. In one generation I blessed my parents and my grandparents. I blessed those who suffered as Unification Church members, those who were chased out without their spouses, and those who got divorced and were expelled from their homes.
The way Father dealt with temptation
There is no responsibility towards Church members that I did not fulfill. I did not do things out of any desire of my own. I did them because of God’s command. Do you understand? (Yes.) I am giving you all this as a lesson today. Now, even if I tell God, “Heavenly Father, I don’t like this fallen world and spirit world. I would like to make a new and better Kingdom of Heaven,” what I say can be achieved. Even now Satan has not been liberated completely, and that is a problem. We must eradicate Satan completely, into oblivion. I don’t even want to hear the lamentations of Satan. There is still work to be done to achieve this.
We could, however, make a new Heaven and earth. We can attend God and create a new cosmos. God, who can do this, could not stop the archangel when he destroyed the proper order of love. How miserable He must have been. When Adam thought about the woman’s sexual organ, could he have imagined the serpent that swept thousands years of history into hell? Man’s sexual organ is the same. You must be able to imagine and be stunned by the grotesque image of how two people toppled the Kingdom of Heaven.
Father disciplined himself. No matter who it was or how beautiful she was, I overcame desire. When I was a student, all kinds of things happened. Once, a beautiful woman came naked into my bed. What was I to do? I had to win over this situation with my life. I had to be completely alert and deal with it. I had to subjugate her naturally and at that place cry bitter tears with her. Because I had to be able to forgive people who were in love, I had to go over these kinds of situations. Do you understand?
There were so many situations even in the jail in Pyung Yang [August 11 to November 21, 1946, prior to being moved to Hung Nam Prison]. It was rumored that Reverend Moon was a sorcerer. The prison guards watched me and would not allow me to sleep. They thought that I would do something in my sleep. Then I had to sleep with my eyes open. I knew how much toil God had gone through in history. There were so many spiritual temptations.
Nobody knew this fact. Women, from teenage to 70 or 80 year old grandmothers, grabbed Father’s feet and head, pulling me. They abandoned their sons, their husbands, and parents to approach me. They naturally denied the secular world. I was in my twenties, and an 80 year old grandmother came to me, called me, “Honey,” and told me that she would have 12 sons with me. She said that she had even had surgery to repair her womb. She said that she had prepared everything to meet the bridegroom. She bought a clock, clothing, and other things in order to prepare for the him. When I heard such an old woman considering me as her husband, do you think I was grateful or flabbergasted? What do you think the deceased husband of that grandmother thought about his wife? She had to surrender naturally. I would say, “Yes, yes, of course.” All these old women would think of me as their husband. After going through such an ordeal they would think of me as their older brother, from previously thinking of me as their younger brother.
One woman would come into Mother’s room and demand that Mother give her the room. It would have been a problem if I had previously given any notion of intimacy to this woman, such as touching her hand. She would have spread the rumor that she was my wife and that everyone should attend her. This is a spiritual phenomenon. She just did not know how to distinguish between the spirit world and the physical world. Because of the restoration process, such phenomena would occur.
Under wide persecution I established the foundation. I have liberated God, Heaven and earth. I placed them all in a horizontal plane and paved the highway towards the Kingdom of Heaven. Your body is like an automobile. You must provide the gasoline, and the engine will turn automatically. So study this overview and reexamine your lifestyle. I implore you to become persons who will not be ashamed in front of Father and the world. Do you understand?
We must willingly go the way of indemnity
So, from today the UTS graduates must take up positions as leaders. Also if there are any college graduates who have not gone to UTS, they must definitely go. UTS graduates should not get ordinary jobs. A fearful time is coming. The content of Father’s teaching is fiercely alive. The road of hard work and suffering for the salvation of America lays ahead. Who would dare look away?
Actually I told them all to come here. I knew that some of them would not come, so I gave a three-day workshop in East Garden (June 4 – 6), starting from a Friday. Friday starts the weekend off, so everybody could come. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. They all made a new determination.
Thus even in Korea, Reverend Hwang, who has graduated UTS, became president. Many people thought it was not going to work out. Because of Reverend Hwang, the task could be accomplished. He knows the activities of the Communist organizations too. I researched that. How are we going to build an educational system to educate the Communists in this situation of conflict between North and South Korea? You have worked hard until now (To Reverend Hwang:) How many years have passed since I made you church president in Korea? [Three years.] What was my first advice to you when you returned to Korea? What did I tell you not to forget? [Father, you said that if I am willing to die, I will be able to save the country.] The way of indemnity. If a person tries to avoid the way of indemnity, he will perish. You must willingly go. That is a blessing. Work even harder than Father. If you work harder than Father, God will bless you.
I have abandoned Korea. Because my mind has left the nation, you must break all records in your activities. The good spirits in the spiritual world knew that fact (that Father had abandoned the country), so they completely mobilized themselves and helped Korea. The spirit world knows. Korea was in the last place, but it became the first place in giving the blessing.
