Global Standard for Victory as Heavenly Tribal Messiahs

I. Basis for the meaning of victory as heavenly tribal messiahs and global standards

The word “messiah” means the ancestor of the hometown where the clans in the horizontal world dwell. A tribal messiah is a tribal king. The tribal messiah’s position is the position of the second parents, which is Jesus’ position. Thus, with pride you can say, “True Parents have dispatched me as a tribal messiah.” And after you save your tribe, you can be elevated to the position of Adam. E21N-125, 1||1.05.12L Cheon Seong Gyeong, Book |, Chapter 2, Section 1, Paragraph 32

The four great realms of heart and the three great kingships refer to the perfection of unfallen Adam and Eve. Had they not fallen, Adam and Eve would have perfected the four great realms of heart and the three great kingships to form the royal family. This pledge speaks about how blessed families should live; in speaking about establishing the royal family, it also addresses the blessed families’ mission to restore fallen humanity. E5O5-30K, 200N.0O.13L Cheong Seong Gyeong, Book 12, Chapter 3, Section 5, Paragraph V2

We seek to establish the family that meets heaven’s and earth’s standard, the family that God is striving for. Therefore, we need models for the grandfather and grandmother, the father and mother, the couple and the children. Traditionally, Korea followed the extended family system. In that historical tradition, seven families would live in the same house. We should establish a family system that builds on that. It is amazing how well it fits with the goal of tribal messiahship in the Unification Church. E2NO-1K0, 1||O.02.1|L Cheong Seong Gyeong, Book 12, Chapter 3, Section 5, Paragraph 5K

II. Overview of global standard for victory as heavenly tribal messiahs

• Victory as heavenly tribal messiah refers to the person that while performing his duties as a Cheon Il Guk citizen has formed a spiritual tribe of at least 430 families across three generations.
• It also refers to the person that maintains a life of faith and has completed the blessing of all 430 families of the spiritual tribe.

As an Abel-type family, your family’s responsibility is to restore Cain-type families. What happens when an Abel-type family restores a Cain-type family? They become a tribe. You must become tribal messiahs. Being a tribal messiah means having 430 families. E03V-10V, 1|N0.0K.2|L

You are no longer individual messiahs. Now is the time to lay the foundation for becoming familial messiahs and move on. It is time to become familial messiahs, in other words, to form messianic realm based on the four-position foundation. In the past, there was a time to lay the foundation for the individual messiah who faced opposition and persecution. Now is the time to lay the foundation for a familial messiah and move one. Thus, people will be brought to submission. Such a time will come in the not too distant future. We have been focusing on that time. We came after making a full circuit. E0V0-21O, 1|N1.02.01L

III. Duties as Cheon Il Guk Citizens

• All citizens of Cheon Il Guk must follow and practice the duties outlined in article 21 of the Cheon Il Guk Constitution.

1. Citizens of Cheon Il Guk are required protect the pure lineage of Heaven.
2. Citizens of Cheon Il Guk must not violate one another’s hearts and rights as human beings.
3. Citizens of Cheon Il Guk must not misuse public funds.
4. Citizens of Cheon Il Guk should read, practice, disseminate and teach True Parents’ words.
5. Citizens of Cheon Il Guk should serve as hoondok family leaders and tribal messiahs for the substantial settlement and completion of Cheon Il Guk.

The providence of salvation is the providence of re-creation; that is the process of creation to purify all things and all people, their lineage and their love, according to the Principle by which God created. The establishment of pure things, pure people and pure love in a pure land is the ideal and purpose of the Creation. In order to achieve this, you need self-mastery. To recover the purity of your body, which until now has served as the foundation for Satan, you must drive Satan out by striking your body. By doing so, you will free yourself from Satan’s world by uniting your pure mind and body, as spirit and substance. After that, you will pass through a three-year engagement period. Then you can form a blessed family in the realm of perfection. From the viewpoint of the Principle, this process elevates you to the position where you can complete the human portion of responsibility. You need to understand this course of restoration through indemnity; this is the only for you to rise. E2OK-115, 1||5.03.31L Cheon Seong Gyeong, Book 12, Chapter 3, Section 1, Paragraph 1

IV. Standard for organizing 430 families

The spiritual tribe of 430 spiritual families must form in accordance with the three generations outlined below. Starting from Home Church leaders, if people continue witnessing from the first generation to the second and third generations, one thousand, two thousand, many thousands of people will get involved in Home Church activities. As we do this, we are entering the age of registration, and need to prepare a list. Yet we cannot draw it up any way we want. Those who did not do Home Church activities cannot be entered on the list. They cannot become part of the family tree of the heavenly kingdom. Even though they are blessed family members, they will be excluded from the list and their names will be removed from the registry. With this understanding, you must hurry to do everything Heaven mandates. E1V3-11|, 1|KO.03.1OL Cheon Seong Gyeong, Book |, Chapter 1, Section 3, Paragraph 10

• Ancestor of a tribe: Any blessed family that is head of the hoondok family church as prescribed in the Cheon Il Guk Constitution and Cheon Il Guk Regulations.

[A]s ideal families expand on earth, each becomes the ancestor of a tribe. By inheriting kingship and representing God on earth, the ideal family expands. Your family alone does not suffice; it has to expand. Through expansion, you can become the ancestor of your tribe, in other words, a tribal messiah. E225-222, 1||2.01.20L Cheon Seong Gyeong, Book 12, Chapter 2, Section 3, Paragraph 35

[O]nce you fulfill your responsibility as the ancestor of a tribe, you will establish kingship. How to fulfill this responsibility, and thereby establish kingship, is based on my teaching on tribal messiahship. It explains how you can advance to a position of kingship or lordship based on your rights as the ancestor of your tribe. E225-222, 1||2.01.20L Paragraph 3O, Section 1, Chapter 2, Book 12, Cheon Seong Gyeong

You are tribal messiahs. When you recover your Cain tribe, you will automatically recover your Abel tribe. This is why you need to do tribal messiah activity. Only if you do this can your ancestors and good people in the spirit world come to the earth and set indemnity conditions to benefit themselves. This is not possible without the foundation of your Home Church. E1VK-1NN, 1|KO.10.0KL Cheong Seong Gyeong, Book |, Chapter 2, Section 1, Paragraph O

• Realm of two generations: Organize the families of your spiritual children

1. Spiritual families: Spiritual children and families witnessed to by those in the first generation.
2. Families of one’s biological children: Blessed families formed by one’s biological children

• Realm of three generations: Organize among the families of your spiritual grandchildren

1. Families of one’s spiritual grandchildren: Blessed families witnessed to by one’s spiritual children and spiritual families.
2. Spiritual children of one’s biological children: Spiritual children and spiritual children of those in the first generation’s biological children

We are to have two types of children: spiritual children, of which you need three, and our natural children. If you look at today’s world, you will see sons and daughters who are in the position of God’s direct children and fallen human beings who are in the position of adopted children. Salvation doesn’t exist for the sake of the individual. Salvation cannot exist outside the structure of the family. Therefore, each of us is to have three spiritual children and is to lead them to become one with our natural children. This is the formula. E052-12|, 1|N1.12.2OL Cheon Seong Gyeong, Book |, Chapter 2, Section 2, Paragraph |

Each tribal messiah is to embrace two clans, Cain’s and Abel’s—that is, Cain’s family and his or her own family. Jesus should have embraced Joseph’s family and Zechariah’s family. The disunity between these two families set the stage for Jesus’ death. This is the background of the Home Church and tribal church of today. Jesus was to stand on the united foundation of Joseph’s family and Zechariah’s family. The Messiah, based on these families’ attendance of the tribal messiah, was to lead to national restoration. In the same way, your Home Church is a Cain-type church foundation of your tribal messiahship, and your family and relatives are an Abel-type church foundation. You are to unite these two. After accomplishing this, you will complete your mission as a tribal messiah. Now there should be no problem to bring unity in your tribe. Furthermore, the time has come when nothing in the larger world will create problems for us. Nevertheless, my appointment of tribal messiahs does not mean that the Home Church will disappear. Even if all people were saved, the Home Church remains important. Just as the mind and body need to unite and the entire world needs to unite, the Home Church needs to unite people both inside and outside the tribes. E210-1KK, 1||0.12.1|L Cheon Seong Gyeong, Book |, Chapter 2, Section 2, Paragraph 2

Even if heaven and earth experience upheaval ten million times, if the unity of three generations—grandparents, parents and children—is as strong as an iron fortress and if they serve God as their core, wherever they are, they will be the one seed through which the kingdom of heaven can be realized. E225-301, 1||2.01.2OL Cheon Seong Gyeong, Book |, Chapter 2, Section V, Paragraph 1V

We have to establish Cheon Il Guk families, where three generations–grandparents, parents and children—attend and live with the eternal God.

As this is the hope of God, it is the responsibility of tribal messiahs and the mission of ambassadors for peace. E53O-052, 200O.0K.20L Cheon Seong Gyeong, Book 12, Chapter 2, Section 1, Paragraph 12

1. Standard for Conversion

A person is considered to have been converted if he or she fulfills and maintains the standards of a convert established by the national headquarters (Article 81, Cheon Il Guk Constitution) and by the regional presidents “appointed by True Parents” (Article 74, Cheon Il Guk Constitution).

• Registration as a member: A person is considered a registered member when he or she completes and signs the registration form given by the regional headquarters or the national headquarters and resolves to begin a life of faith as a “Cheon Il Guk Citizen.” (Article 19, Cheon Il Guk Constitution).
• Beginning a life of faith: The person must fulfill and maintain the standard of a member as prescribed by the regional president or the national headquarters.

In all respects, the most active members are the mainstream in the church. Those who are in charge of the church are like the Levites of Israel. The Levites did not have a share in the land. E0K3-0|5, 1|NO.02.05L Cheon Seong Gyeong, Book |, Chapter 3, Section 1, Paragraph 12

Thee time for converting individuals has passed. Now your activities should be done mostly as a family. All activities shall begin by converting families. You cannot imagine how fast the effects would appear when as tribal messiahs you convert families. Let us now ensure that we can draw in families. E235-0N2, 1||2.0K.2|L

Now is the time to inaugurate the realm of the tribe. However, it is not God who will take the lead for this; the era has arrived when you will guide and lead your tribe into the kingdom of heaven. Through the works of their ancestors, people will come to the Unification Church with-out knowing why. Nothing compels the leaves to emerge when spring comes; it happens naturally. Likewise, a world is arriving before our eyes, rising like the morning sun. Do not forget that your duty and mission is to go forth boldly and in high spirits as the great owners of heaven and earth and God’s liberated children. E202-25N, 1||0.05.2VL Cheong Seong Gyeong, Book 12, Chapter 2, Section V, Paragraph 3V

1. Standard for completing the blessing

A couple is considered to have completed the blessing when the standards described below are reached in accordance with the guidance of the regional president or national headquarters. Regarding the standard for having concluded the blessing, refer to “International Regulations for Blessing Administrations” (hereafter, “Blessing Regulations”).

• Blessing application: Complete and sign the Blessing Application Form provided by the regional president or national headquarters.
• Blessing Education Candidates should complete the appropriate Blessing education based on their category and according to Blessing Regulations 1-A, B, C and 4-A, B, C.

1. Divine Principle Education: The participant must understand God’s nature (Article 1, Cheon Il Guk Constitution) and the relationship between God and human beings (Article 2, Cheon Il Guk Constitution) through a basic Divine Principle education.
2. True Parents’ Life Courses: The participant must understand True Parents through an education on True Parents’ Life Courses.
3. The Meaning and Value of the Blessing: The participants must learn and understand the value of the change of bloodline. They must also resolve to become couples that are born anew and are worthy of the cleansing of the original sin through the blessing, which is administered by the Messiah, the True Parents of humankind (Article 26, Cheon Il Guk Constitution).

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 counterparts 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. 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. 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. EVNV-1O2, 200V.10.30L Cheon Seong Gyeong, Book V, Chapter 1, Section 1, Paragraph V

• Change of bloodline

1. Holy Wine: Each participant must understand the meaning and value of the holy wine before receiving it from the regional president or national headquarters and drinking it.

The Holy Wine Ceremony is the ritual of infusing God’s body into your body with new love. Since you have only one body, you need to transform it with God’s love. This is the meaning of the Holy Wine Ceremony. The Bible records that at the Last Supper, Jesus blessed bread and wine and gave them to his disciples. He referred to the bread as “my body” and the wine as “my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.” (Matt. 26:26-28) Likewise, it is only by inheriting the new lineage originating from God’s substantial self that you can be cleansed of the original sin. You cannot participate in the Blessing without going through this ceremony. The Holy Wine Ceremony is the ceremony to change your lineage. E035-2V5, 1|N010.1|L Cheon Seong Gyeong, Book 11, Chapter 3, Section 1, Paragraph 11

2. Prayer: True Parents have sole authority for the Blessing of Marriage (Article 7, Cheon Il Guk Constitution). However, married couples may receive the prayer of a public official (Article 22, Cheon Il Guk Constitution) appointed by the regional president or national headquarters.

At the Engagement Ceremony for the Blessing, I raised my hands and pronounced a benediction. With that benediction, I could incorporate the women of the world into Adam’s family, in the place of Eve who had been separated from that family. I could thereby form a conditional bond of blood with them. That is the change of lineage. Henceforth, each woman of the world who has gone to the spirit world should attend me as her elder brother, husband and father, centered on True Mother. E31V-1V1, 2000.01.02L Cheon Seong Gyeong, Book 11, Chapter 3, Section 1, Paragraph K

3. Indemnity Stick The ceremony must take place under the guidance of a public official.

What is the Indemnity Stick Ceremony for? Adam and Eve fell by misusing their lower parts. During the Indemnity Stick Ceremony, both wife and husband strike each other’s buttocks as hard as they can, saying they will never fall again. We do this so that they will never again misuse that part of the body. Likewise, when the Israelites made a pledge, they placed a hand under their thigh. They also conducted circumcision. When a son was born, his male part was bled on the eighth day after birth. This ritual was instituted because the male reproductive organ had been misused. Because the seed had been damaged, the ritual of circumcision was established to change the seed. All these are conditions to determine ownership. E2N3-31O, 1||5.10.2|L Book 11, Cheon Seong Gyeong, Chapter 3, Section 1, Paragraph 2V

4. Forty-day separation: Every participant must complete a forty-day separation. (Refer to Blessing Regulations 2-A.)

In what position do human beings stand? [They are God’s object partner.] What kind of object partner are human beings? They are not partners for money. What kind of object partner? [They are God’s object partners of true love.] They are object partners of true love. Then what exactly is true love? It is not simply love that is true. Married couples originally are supposed to live separately for seven years (after receiving the blessing). They must not regard themselves as the same way they did when they were a couple in the past. Without this separation period, their children will have to pay indemnity instead. E22|00N, 1||2.0V.0|L

5. Three-Day Ceremony: Every participant must complete the Three-Day Ceremony prescribed by True Parents’ tradition. (Refer to Blessing Regulations 2-B.)

If you do not go through the ThreeDay Ceremony, you will have nothing to do with True Parents’ lineage. You will be nothing but a spectator who has come within the fenced area. Only after you complete the Three-Day Ceremony can you dress in holy robes and be included in True Parents’ lineage. Otherwise, although you may have eaten a piece of the wedding cake, watched the celebration from beginning to end and enjoyed yourself with your friends, you will end up being apart. You will not become one with True Parents’ lineage. Once you are apart from it, you will remain apart for all eternity. Lineage is such a fearful thing. E5|1-2|O, 200K.0O.01L Cheon Seong Gyeong, Book 11, Chapter 3, Section 1, Paragraph 2K

• Blessing Fee: Each participant must offer the blessing fee determined by the international headquarters.

Once you pay the blessing fee in full, all your problems will be resolved. I will talk about this now. After the marriage ceremony, a couple begins family life. A child is born from the love between the couple. With the birth of a baby, this couple stands in the position of God after He created Adam and Eve. As the substantial body of the incorporeal God and through this correlation with the realm of substance… Once a couple gives birth to a child after going through a marriage ceremony, they stand in the position of the Lord of Creation. Do you understand? They stand in the position of the incorporeal God who created Adam and Eve in the flesh. This couple is more substantial than God because they gave birth to children in the flesh from the position of God in the flesh. This is not vertical but horizontal. E2|0-0K1, 1||K.02.03L

VII. Standard for a life of faith

Each must lead a life of faith by fulfilling the two basic condition of attending Sunday service and tithing.

• Tithing: Each person must tithe at least once every six months to one’s registered church or Hoondok Family Church (Article 20, Cheon Il Guk Constitution).

God does not need money. Money is needed only as an object for making conditions so that fallen human beings can form a relationship with Him. God needs it only as a condition by which to save all of you. So instead of thinking that you are making a donation for God, think that you are donating for your nation or for the world. You are offering donations to fulfill the purpose of saving others. You are not offering them for God’s sake. E12O-123, 1|K3.0V.12L Cheon Seong Gyeong, Book 11, Chapter 2, Section 2, Paragraph N

• Sunday service: Each person must attend the Sunday service at one’s registered church or Hoondok Family Church at least once every six months.

You must absolutely honor the words you speak when you come before God. How can someone who does not keep his or her promise be given grace? Such people will give up along the way. God does not randomly visit just anyone but relates only to those who earnestly yearn for Him. At the very least, you should be on time for the service. E011-13V, 1|O1.03.2OL Cheon Seong Gyeong, Book 11, Chapter 2, Section 1, Paragraph 11

Up to this day, I have taken responsibility for everything, but henceforth you have to take responsibility for your extended family. If you align yourself with this mission and attune your heart to God’s at a ninety-degree angle, you can bring oneness on the levels of the individual, family and tribe. Nothing in your life—whether it is eating, sleeping, getting up or anything else—should revolve around your personal desires. Your life should be for your extended family, your clan. Please advance relentlessly in your tribal messiah mission. E1KN-1K0, 1|K|.02.05L Cheon Seong Gyeong, Book |, Chapter 2, Section 3, Paragraph O
