True father’s speech on June 23, 1996 at Belvedere international training center, Tarrytown, NY
Every moment of your Lives you should be aware of all E that True Parents are doing. Had America accepted True Parents as the Lord of the Second Advent for all humankind immediately following World War 0, fallen history would have been reversed long ago. However, due to this failure of Christianity I had to begin. from scratch. During the past 40 years I have been focusing upon the four primary nations in God’s providence of Korea, Japan, America and Germany. Those four nations were supposed to unite with the Lord of the Second Advent. However, they failed to do so and were taken by Satan. Therefore, I have been working throughout the past 40 years to bring them back to God’s side.
THE COMPLETED TESTAMENT AGE AND AMERICAN CHRISTIANITY
America was originally chosen by God, but due to its failure after World War II God had to abandon America. In the providence of restoration, God stands in the position of the first generation, and the Lord of the Second Advent stands in the position of the second generation. From that position I was able to embrace America again. I came to America in order to save this nation. Otherwise, America would have been erased from human history.
If America had united with the Lord of the Second Advent following World War II, then America would have been able to create the bride culture and the bride nation to receive the bridegroom. In America Catholicism and Protestantism prosper side by side. Catholicism represents the Old Testament era, and Protestantism represents the New Testament era. Without the foundation of the Old and New Testament eras there is no way to begin the Completed Testament era. Therefore, reluctantly, I had to embrace America once again and establish my foundation to begin the Completed Testament era based on Christianity in America. This is how the realms of the first, second and third Israel could be established.
As you know, Judaism was in the position of the first Israel, Christianity was in the position of the second Israel, and the Unification Church is in the position of the third Israel. We have to clearly understand that the purpose of God’s providence is the salvation of all humanity, not just one nation or one race. Without understanding this you will not fit into the Completed Testament era.
ESTABLISHING ELDER SONSHIP, PARENTSHIP AND KINGSHIP
In order to complete this providential time of cleaning up, a somewhat negative period has to be faced. In order to be engrafted into the true olive tree, the wild olive trees have to be cut off. This means that in order to receive new life again, you have to lose your life, denying everything right down to the zero point.
Those who maintain Old Testament concepts cannot become engrafted into the true olive tree. Christians have not been fully engrafted either, because the realm of Christianity is one of spiritual salvation only; there is no physical salvation within it. At the Second Advent the spiritual and physical base can be united into one and engrafted into the true olive tree. Christianity has been awaiting the corning of the bridegroom, the true man who represents humanity’s elder brother, elder parents and elder king. Adam was supposed to stand victoriously in all three positions, but after the fall elder brotherhood, elder parenthood and elder kingship were all lost.
The Old Testament represents fallen Adam’s position. This means that Adam became the wild olive tree rather than the true olive tree. Therefore, Jesus came as the second Adam. He stood in the position of the Messiah, with the authority to engraft all the wild olive trees into his true olive tree. Israel was in the position of Cain, whereas Judaism was in the position of Abel. Without the unification of Cain and Abel, parents cannot appear. Through the unification of Cain and Abel, elder sonship can be established. The position of mother is represented by the Holy Spirit.
In order for God’s children to be reborn, it is necessary to cut away Completely the Old Testament concepts. This means Judaism and the Israelites are all denied, and Jesus is the only center. Through engrafting to the True Adam, the new beginning can come about. However, Jesus lost his physical body on the cross. The two thieves on the right and left sides of Jesus represented the right and left wings. Judaism and the Israelites could not unite centered upon Jesus and his family.
Jesus was unable to find his bride and had to go to the cross. The ascended Jesus represents the father and husband position, whereas the earth represents the bride position.
How difficult it is to resolve the course of restoration of the past 2,000 years! After Jesus ascended into the spiritual world he descended to the earth again. In the Completed Testament era, the True Parents and True Children will appear, and the elder sonship, true parentship and elder kingship will be established on earth. This foundation was originally lost at the family level, so it has to be restored by establishing the family foundation.
ESTABLISHING HEADWING IDEOLOGY
No matter what circumstances may have prevailed, the responsibility of Christianity was to receive the Lord of the Second Advent as the elder son, elder true parent and elder king of humankind. However when they failed to do so, that foundation was lost. Christianity failed due to ignorance, but that does not mean that Christianity is in the position to be forgiven. Directly following World War II, Christianity was the ruling power of the world, centered upon America. Since World War II there have been two major ideologies, right wing and left wing; they have been like the right and left arms. We need a head to control these two arms; therefore, this is the era of head wing ideology connected to God.
Because of the crucifixion of Jesus, this head was cut off, and the world has been unable to control these two ideologies. In the Garden of Eden, had Cain and Abel been united centered upon Adam, the head wing ideology would have been established. However due to the failure of Adam’s family, head wing thought could not emerge. Jesus came as the second Adam, and his family became a replica of Adam’s family. Since the crucifixion of Jesus this division expanded to the worldwide scale, and the left and right wings have been constantly fighting. From Adam’s family all the way down to the present time, this satanic left win g has taken over 70 percent of the power. We need to understand the ideology of this struggle between the left and right wings.
Because of Jesus’ crucifix-ion, headwing ideology was unable to be established in his time. This caused the continued struggle between the right and left wing until today. Now the struggle is on a worldwide scale. The True Parents have come with the head wing ideology in order to control these two struggling powers. By unifying the left and right wing ideologies centered upon True Parents, we can restore the lost foundation of Jesus’ time. Historians have never been able to figure out how things came about; only when we look at human history from the viewpoint of God’s providence does this kind of meaning become clear.
The left wing ideology represents the occupation and destruction of the human body. Extreme individualism and privacy have been tools to destroy the human body. Satan destroyed this world by opposing God’s direction; thus, he advocates privacy so no one can investigate what is going on in this satanic world. The practice of free sex creates incredible confusion and destruction within human beings. Such evil practices did not come about by chance; there is an evil force behind it all.
ESTABLISHING “ABSOLUTE SEX”
If Satan advocates free sex, we can be sure that God advocates absolute sex. This means one eternal partner-never two. Satan’s goal is to destroy this world, which God created in order to fulfill the ideal of love. That is why a confrontation between free sex and absolute sex exists. In the world of absolute sex our love partner is our absolute partner.
Where did the concept of homosexuality and lesbianism come from? Even insects and animals do not practice homo-sexuality. However, human beings, who were created as the highest expression of God’s creation, dare to practice such evil. In the Bible there is nothing promoting free sex and homosexuality. However, this trend is growing fast in today’s world. Satan has provided drugs in order to confuse people so that they become totally unaware when the Lord of the Second Advent arrives. Drug abuse destroys the human mind.
God desires absolute, unique and eternal love. Do we all have five senses? [Yes.] Why do they exist? Only the power of love is able to mobilize these five senses to the core. When all five senses are mobilized centered on one point, that is the core of love. Plus and minus make a spark at the core, which is lovemaking. It is like lightning and thunder. Do you want ten focal points or one central point? [One.] Absolutely one. Through marriage, the plus and minus love pillars come together and create a spark that will light the entire world. The lightning and thunder of love-making will light the entire world.
We have two eyes, but when we look at an object we focus on one point. Even our eyes are formed in such a way. So husband and wife can never look at someone else in an unprincipled way. In order to enter the Kingdom of God as blessed couples, we should use these plus and minus light pillars to create eternal lightning and thunder. Unless we do so, we will not be able to enter the Kingdom of God. As husband and wife we know how many poles exist within our heart. Do you have one central pole for your spouse, or are there others? People who have many poles centered on many spouses should be considered trash cans. A trash can should be smashed. This represents the worst kind of hell.
The Lord of the Second Advent came to save all humanity from hell. However, America, centered upon Christianity, failed to recognize him. As a result of this America has been perishing over the past 40 years. This is equivalent to the Israelites who did not receive and recognize Jesus as the Lord. For 2000 years the Jewish people have been persecuted throughout the world. Likewise, America is declining to the bottom of hell.
ESTABLISHING TRUE LINEAGE
America is in the enemy position to me because of this failure, but only I am able to apply the brakes to America’s decline. I have invested my sweat and blood into this country over the past 22 years. If I had invested the same effort in other countries, many other nations could have been saved. However, if we totally cut off the first and second Israel nations in the process of creating the third Israel, they would become totally erased from human history. Therefore, I have connected these two nations to the third Israel.
Centered upon True Parents you have to practice absolute love, life and lineage. In order to do so you have to go through the process of engrafting. Just as the first Israel had to be engrafted into the second, the second Israel has to be engrafted into the third.
Once a woman marries she should no longer cling to the customs of her family but adopt the customs of her husband’s family. When you are engrafted to the Lord of the Second Ad-vent you have to abandon all of your old habits, because you stand in the position of bride to the bridegroom. The husband is like the bones and the wife like the flesh. For them to unite, there has to be only one concept between them. Thus we need to practice absolute faith.
In the world today, is the problem with men or with women? Who is the major cause of the problems of the world? [Women.] The woman is the determining point of good and evil. Women tend to think about themselves first. Even after her marriage, the wife usually thinks about her own situation and tries to deny the tradition of her husband’s family.
Do ordinary American brides focus on individualism or on the family? [Individualism.] No matter how individualistic they might become, they cannot deny that their root is the family and that the root of their family is the tribe, nation, world and God. Therefore, people who deny their whole root system will waste away.
The individual is like a leaf on a tree. When leaves fall to the ground they become fertilizer. Only when individuals in the position of the leaves try to live for the branch, trunk and root do they bear fruit.
Ordinary Americans proudly advocate privacy. Extreme privacy means one small corner where no one else exists. People with this standard cannot face their parents or anyone else. The master of that corner is Satan. This is how Satan leads people to hell.
Because of my straight-forward teaching, American women oppose me. We need to be straight and clear, not wavering. People generally can tell whether something is right or wrong, but they fail to make a clear distinction and end up in a midway position. For me there is no middle position. I am always on the side of what is right, and I immediately attack anything that is wrong. Therefore, do you like me or fear me? [We like you!]
ESTABLISHING THE WAY TO REACH HEAVEN
The only way to enter heaven is to go through hell and out the other side. The world that we presently belong to is the world of hell. The only ladder that will connect us to heaven is on the other side of hell. Therefore, we must pass through the tunnel of hell, reach the ladder on the other side, and climb up towards heaven. [Father draws on the board.] This side rep-resents the world of evil, and the other the world of goodness. Therefore, I am teaching you to serve others, sacrifice and fast, practices which are exactly opposite to our bodily desires.
Does America belong to heaven or hell at this point? [Hell.] If President Clinton could hear my speech this morning he would be offended. However, whom do you think God would choose, President Clinton or Reverend Moon? [Father.] Then should I listen to President Clinton or should he listen to me? [Clinton should listen to Father.] Should the American people listen to me? [Yes.]
Your conscience knows clearly where you stand in your dedication and commitment. Once you join the spiritual world there is no more deception. Whatever level each of you have attained spiritually on this earth is where you will dwell in the spiritual realm. For example, if you have dedicated only 30 percent to listening to me, then you will remain outside of True Parents’ castle in the spiritual world, and you will long to be inside with us. Do you think I practice only 99 percent of the truth, or do I practice 100 percent? [100 percent.]
I have been opposed by this satanic world all my life. Before joining the Unification Church you stood in opposition to me. Were you trying to avoid or embrace me prior to joining the Unification Church? After many years in the movement, do you still try to avoid me? [No.] Therefore you have changed 180 degrees. The degree to which you practice the truth that you have received from me will determine your location in the spiritual world.
Do you think I would be seduced by beautiful Hollywood people or would I send them away? [Send them away.] What about all of you? Satan may utilize various tactics to seduce you. By observing my life, you realize that I am completely one with my teachings. I never fall into satanic traps, no matter what. The entire world has been opposing me for many years, but now the world is following me more than opposing me. More of the bright-minded people of both North and South America are now following me.
ESTABLISHING THE SACRIFICIAL PATH
Do Americans in general fully understand parental love? Then how can they be referred to as people? Even animals demonstrate parental love. Birds and animals often sacrifice themselves in order to protect their young from attack.
Individuals who cannot attain the same level as animals can hardly be referred to as human beings. No matter how proud they may be, they will fall below the animals. That is hell. Why do you suppose I speak so strongly to American people rather than giving comforting words? Because it is my responsibility to push them to follow the right direction. A surgeon will cut open an infectious wound in order to heal the patient, even though it might cause pain.
I will not tell Unificationists to take care of themselves and their families. Rather I will push you to take the more difficult path for the sake of others. When I blessed you, it was for the happiness of your couple and your children. Yet when we see America and the entire world decaying we cannot live for our family’s happiness alone. My teaching is crystal clear: individuals should sacrifice for the sake of the family, the family should sacrifice for the nation, and the nation for the entire world. There will be tens of millions of blessed couples throughout the world in the future, and if they all have to be sacrificed for the entire world then I will tell them to. That is how we will liberate God and build the Kingdom of God on the earth.
If all Americans begin to sacrifice themselves for the sake of the entire world, then America will prosper and stand for-ever as the central nation. I understand this secret very well. I know that I have to sacrifice my life for the sake of the entire world. Also the True Family has been sacrificed in many ways. Since the True Family has come to America, they have had to deal with unnecessary persecution and suffering.
Next year the 3.6-rnillion couple blessing will take place. That means 7.2 million people. After this almost 30 million people will have received the blessing. I am thinking of sacrificing all of these people for the sake of the entire world. Is that the correct way or the wrong way? [Right way.] That is the way God thinks.
As parents are you willing to crucify your children on the cross if that is the course you need to walk? God has been walking such a path. God instructed Abraham to sacrifice Isaac. If necessary, the entire Unification Church membership will be used as an offering in order to save the entire world. That is the path of saints and holy sons and daughters of God. Those of you who truly welcome from your hearts my teaching about this sacrificial way of life, raise your hands. What percentage of those who raised your hands will truly follow that path?
If your mission becomes a little more difficult than that of others and you begin to compare yourself with others instead of marching ahead, your offering becomes stained. Do you want to belong to a group who is constantly comparing their situation with others, or a group that marches forward looking straight ahead? [Marching forward.]
I have seen so many hundreds of people make pledges and then forget their pledge as soon as they leave Belvedere. What if I command you all to pack and leave for Africa: will each of you sitting here do so immediately? People procrastinate in the face of heaven’s direction. If this is your thinking, then you are no different than the disciples who sold Jesus.
Many Unification Church leaders and members come to me only in order to receive something from me. What is the meaning of money? If you continue to follow money you will lose your lives. We don’t need knowledge, fame and power.
ESTABLISHING THE STANDARD IN ALL FIELDS
Do you think that I have been following money, fame, power and knowledge or God’s truth? [God’s truth.] I have been opposing and denying all of these external things. However, now people regard me as the most powerful, wealthy and deep-thinking person in the world. This all followed naturally. I am admired in every aspect of life. My life course was recently exhibited at an exposition in Argentina. There is no field which I have not touched and achieved success in. Consequently, everyone now regards me as a worldwide figure.
Through WACOM, I initiated various fields of technology in Germany and Japan. In America through WRIST we have even dealt with NASA. Highly qualified technicians have recognized my contribution in their fields. God and I together helped the individuals involved in these organizations to become successful.
Let us return to this morning’s topic, the grand cleanup period in the history of good and evil. In order to accomplish this grand dean up of the history of the world, we have to be determined to go all the way to the end of the world and pay indemnity. Without doing so we will not be able to achieve this goal.
ESTABLISHING THE GREATEST DEVOTION
There is up and down, front and rear, and right and left. Good is up, down is evil, right is good, left is evil, front represents good and rear represents evil. It is always relative. Self-centered individuals who take pride in themselves are not good people. Those who hold high positions of power without the proper qualifications may disappear in the future and others who are more qualified will replace them. If both I and the American people live for the sake of God, and my devotion and sacrifice is greater than that of the American people, then I will go beyond America. You may be in a low position and be paying indemnity, but if your devotion and sacrifice is greater than that of your leaders, you will automatically exceed them.
At the present time many Native Americans are living on welfare from the government. Some people accuse the government of providing money and liquor to Native Americans and thereby influencing them to drink and to become hopeless. Yet if the Native Americans truly understood the purpose of their lives and could surpass white Americans in their devotion to America, they would immediately jump above white
Americans. However, they don’t understand this principle. Black Americans and Native Americans claim that white Americans are doing only evil and should be banished. However, instead of criticizing they should show greater devotion to America, and then they would naturally prevail.
I brought members here to America from America’s former enemy nations and had them serve this country. They have endured persecution for the sake of the salvation of America. Because they followed me and came to America and devoted themselves for the sake of this nation, they will eventually inherit the tradition and sovereignty of America. Since coming to America, I have been the leading force working to unite various ideologies and various denominations of Christianity. I created The Washington Times and developed the University of Bridgeport in order to lead the news media and academia. I did this to save America. Now all those brilliant Americans will naturally follow and respect me. Eventually the entire nation will be turned around. [Applause.]
INHERITING FATHER’S SPIRIT
We must understand that those who shed their tears and blood for the public purpose will become the main-stream of human history. They will become the central people and central nation. This is the path of truth. I have prevailed in spite of six different imprisonments because I have strictly followed the path of the true providence. I haven’t concerned myself with persecution, because I have been busy with such providential activities as the unification of North and South America and the equalization of technology and wealth among nations. These have been my lifelong concerns. Therefore, I am always in haste along this path of providential truth.
I realize that the American membership, as it is now, is not adequate to save this nation, because they have not inherited my spirit. This is a problem. Therefore, I want to push you even further. In order to feel the true gratitude of finding your hometown, you have to be chased out from it. When you finally return in victory and glory, you will truly appreciate your hometown. When you are chased out from your hometown and your heart is filled with love for every aspect of that place, some day you will return and revive all of those memories; then you will feel true gratitude. However, if you leave your hometown with no feeling of attachment, you will experience no feelings on your return.
Imagine the persecution and opposition that I have received because I initiated matchings and blessings transcending religious, cultural, national and racial traditions. Your physical parents and relatives have all opposed such weddings, but still we all stood up strongly and received the blessing.
BECOMING MODEL INTERNATIONAL COUPLES
Those Japanese wives who have American husbands did not receive the blessing in order that you might live in this country. That is not the reason for your blessing. You have to understand that I want to see you and your American husbands be successful here in America-more successful than anyone who opposed you when you left your home country. Ultimately, you will be able to return with victory and glory to your hometown and offer your accomplishments.
American husbands who are blessed to African wives should be more than willing to go to their wife’s country and live there together and win the victory in that humble nation. That is the kind of tradition I want to see. Then America will prosper. This kind of tradition is very purposeful and important. American society is decaying daily through lack of principle and discipline, but model American husbands who are willing to go to Africa and live a principled life, setting the new heavenly tradition, will be the saving grace for America. If you truly follow the heavenly tradition by sacrificing your-selves, new heavenly art and literature will emerge from such people and usher in a new heavenly world. However, I see many internationally blessed couples who want to come and live in America for their own comfort. Where can we find the seeds of new literature and art among such people?
The couples who follow my teaching, devote themselves for the sake of God, and become models of heavenly tradition will give birth to a new heavenly art and literature. As generation after generation of children are born from such couples, the new heavenly world will emerge. American husbands who go to Africa may encounter millions of different kinds of husbands; however, they should be able to create and demonstrate a new standard of American husband. If such American husbands demonstrate their devotion and true love for their African wives, they will become the kings of all husbands. Once Americans establish such a foundation, America will never perish.
Those of you who have international marriages raise your hands. What are you all doing now? You live here because it is a more comfortable place to live. However, your mission is to leave this nation and go out to the third world and live for those people. That should be your thinking. Until you have such thinking, do you expect me to leave you alone or to push you out? [Push us out.]
No one has understood how much indemnity I had to pay in order to bless all these couples. Those who were matched by pictures demonstrate a very high level of faith. Do you imagine that it comes naturally? I match couples based upon my experience and intuition. I do not do so randomly. My hand knows which picture I should pick up. Even if I want to pick a particular man, sometimes my hand is moved to another man. God leads my hand. Therefore, I take responsibility. No one knows that. People accuse me of lying, but when I proclaim that a particular couple will enjoy happiness, it is true. That is the kind of tradition I have established. Even though I am requested to continue to match by picture, I will eventually stop even picture matching.
You are so different from secular American couples who live together before getting married in order to test one another out! More than 60 percent of Americans divorce, but without even knowing each other’s names you accept matching by picture and live happy lives. How great is the gap between these two examples! If we say that Unification couples are standing in a top position, then secular American couples will belong to the bottom of hell. This is the logical conclusion.
The purpose of our marriage is for the grand cleanup of the history of good and evil. What is more important than this? When you left home, your parents and family all opposed you. Many of you left your homes and your parents in tears. Now you are in America with your husband raising your children here. Therefore, you have to become an exemplary couple and family. Then when you return to your parents you will be received as a victorious couple.
The time will come when the nations with the most mixed races will gain the most respect. Japan, Germany and America are the main countries which have opposed the Unification Church, but America is now turning around. America is in the position of the archangel country. The nations in the parental positions are Korea and Japan, the Adam and Eve countries.
In Asia, the exemplary Christian country is Korea. Japan is a country of mixed religions; it has no Christian tradition. It is not easy to unite these two nations, one with a strong Christian tradition and the other with mixed religions. Korean Christians who move to Germany and America continue to oppose the Unification Church on foreign territory. The majority of Japanese still oppose the Unification Church. The same is true for America. Actually, the American people were influenced by Korean Christians who came to America. Without knowing all of the details, American Christians were tricked by Korean Christians into opposing me. They even placed me in prison. But eventually, they came to realize that I did not do any wrong.
ENDURING PERSECUTION IN SILENCE
It was Satan’s strategy to have Christianity and communism join in opposition to me. For 40 years I kept quiet, just as God has been silent. While Satan was claiming that God was dead I was silent. Because I realized that God has been opposed throughout history, I took the same position as God for 40 years. God is in the position of mind, and I am in the position of body; thus, the mind and body should move as one.
Whenever I received extreme persecution or was physically beaten, I endured it in order to embrace the children of the satanic world. In such circumstances I was always offering my love in order to turn my persecutors around 180 degrees. Once the American people fully realize the mistake they made in persecuting and imprisoning me, they will turn around 180 degrees and follow me. As Unification Church members you must understand that you and I have been sacrificed for the sake of the American people, and one day they will turn around completely to the side of heaven. As long as you maintain my tradition with each generation, the unjust persecution which I endured will ignite American young people and they will follow the Divine Principle.
It was the power of Rome that crucified Jesus, but now the Vatican stands in the center of Rome. By the same token, in America, the nation which has opposed me the most, God’s sovereignty may be established. That is the blessing from God. You have to understand this. [Applause.]
You must never forget that you have to shed more blood, sweat and tears in this country than I have. You have to do this for the sake of your nation and the coming generations so that they can save this nation. You have to shed more tears, blood and sweat than I have shed in order to firmly establish the heavenly tradition in America for the coming generations.
The great period for cleaning up the history of good and evil is certainly coming, and western people will be on their knees for thousands of years in front of me.
LIVING FOR THE WORLD
If you shed more tears and sweat for the sake of America, then your tradition, your tears, will set the standard for the entire world in the future. Those who live for themselves will become more evil, while those who live for others will become even more good. If America tries to become the most powerful nation for its own sake, it will decline and become evil, but if America is willing to sacrifice and devote itself for the entire world, including even to the lowest level, then America will become the central nation of the world.
In the Old Testament era, the Jewish people believed that once they received the Messiah then Israel would become the most powerful nation of the world. That was their expectation, but they didn’t realize that God’s desire was not for Israel alone but rather for the entire world. In a similar way, Christians believed that the Lord would come again on the clouds and lift them up to enjoy heaven, leaving all other people of the world to suffer.
The entire world population is 5.3 billion, and Christians make up only 1 billion of that population. That means they are just one-fifth of the world population. What they do not realize is that God is willing to sacrifice 1 billion Christians in order to save all 5.3 billion people of the world. Christians don’t realize this fact, but we do. The entire world has to be sacrificed for the entire cosmos, and the cosmos for the sake of God. America may conquer the entire world, but if it fails to follow God’s formula it will decay from within and perish.
Who is able to save this situation? Only I am able to resolve this tragedy. Since establishing the Washington Times Foundation I have enough strings to pull influential people, yet I abandoned all of this and went to South America to begin from scratch again. Within one year I established a foundation in South America almost equal to what it took 22 years to establish here. South America cannot ignore what I have contributed towards its development and prosperity. From last December until May of this year alone, I invested more than $10 million just for educational purposes in South America. America is in the position to make this kind of investment. If America fails to do so, then the country that does so in place of America will receive the blessing instead. God is fair.
SAVING PEOPLE FROM VICE AND STARVATION
I am warning you American members not to be proud of yourselves. You are responsible to restore Hollywood and the gambling facilities in Las Vegas and other places. Prostitution has to be eliminated also. You women want to change your clothing every day, but animals don’t change their clothing every day. We have to learn a lesson from them. It is good to have people sell their excess clothing and donate the money to those who are starving. Every day up to 60,000 people are dying of starvation. Mothers and children are dying because of lack of food, yet Americans sit in comfort and do not feel their sorrow and pain. That is why you are in a position to receive judgment.
However, I have been preparing to save these people for the past 30 or 40 years. I even tell Mother that when she goes to the bathroom she should not flush the toilet if she only urinates. Only flush the toilet after urinating three times. This way we can conserve water.
I want to give the money I save this way to Africa. If you maintain this kind of tradition and spirit in your house then your family will prosper. When I return home I take off my socks to save the wear and tear on them. When I stay at hotels for public speeches, I never touch the large, luxurious towels that they provide. I only use the small towel and wash cloth, leaving the others untouched. American people waste far too much. While we are wasting resources, millions of people are dying. How can we compensate for this kind of waste?
When I speak to you like this for many hours my underclothes become completely soaked. Yet if I keep them on for a few hours in a cool place, they dry out and I can wear them for three days without changing. Mother notices that and puts them in the laundry bag, but I sometimes go there and take them out again. That is the kind of spirit I have. I don’t care what others think if I wear underwear for several days without changing. My motivation is to save the world. Do you understand this spirit?
Even though people send gifts to me I don’t want to open them. I keep them to give to people in need. When I moved from the old building at East Garden to the new building, I realized that there were many boxes of gifts still untouched. Eventually I shared them with other people. That kind of family will prosper. I never forget about the 20 million people who are dying of starvation every year, particularly in Africa. Twenty-four hours a day I want to be reminded of that human tragedy.
Whenever I go fishing I look at the fishing pole and think about how to solve this problem. That is my life. I want to catch as many fish as possible in order to save them. The ocean has the solution.
Last week I was in a small section of Kodiak island. I continued to fish even in very bad weather conditions, while other leaders tried to take a moment to rest and escape from the hard work. Yet I who am almost 80 years of age kept on going. Younger people do not understand my motivation for continuing on no matter what. As long as the leaders around me can inherit my spirit of doing such tenacious work for the sake of the world, then the place where I invest my deep heart and spirit will become a holy place which will expand to the entire world. I do everything with the future in mind. My desire is to save the suffering people of the world.
The powerful nations in history explored new territories and exploited them to gain riches. For example, Great Britain went out to the world. Of course, they did good and helped people, but they also exploited other countries and became a super nation. Out of that they established the Commonwealth of Nations. In the British Museum are thousands of items which were plundered from other nations. Is that true? [Yes.] In many cases these items were simply stolen. I don’t want to see that happen any-more. That is why I want to organize the island nations and educate them properly. I don’t want to see those island nations becoming influenced by the immorality of modem nations.
ORGANIZING ISLAND AND PENINSULAR NATION FEDERATIONS
Since Japan has not fulfilled its responsibility adequately, I am thinking of sending out Japanese families to the entire world and having them help the weak and poor island nations. A few years ago, I mobilized 1,600 Japanese missionary women to go out to the world, ten missionaries to each of 160 nations, but this time I plan to mobilize 16,000 Japanese blessed couple missionaries and send them out to the world 100 missionaries in each nation. Japan is responsible to save the world, even if it means that people have to sell their homes and all their possessions. But Japan is neglecting this responsibility, so I am sending Japanese blessed couples out to the world, and through these Japanese blessed couples I intend to save the world. I want to organize and unite the island nations of the world so that they can work together harmoniously with the Japanese missionaries.
Throughout history the island nations were conquered by the greater world powers. Because these islands were isolated they were easy prey. After the island nations were conquered the next targets were the peninsula nations. After the Federation of Island Nations for World Peace, the next stage will be the Federation of Peninsula Nations for World Peace.
In order to accomplish this, I reshuffled our worldwide leadership while I was on Kodiak Island two days ago. Many top leaders have been changed in Korea and America as well as worldwide. In the near future, centering upon the Korean and Italian peninsulas, the Federation of Peninsula Nations for World Peace will be inaugurated.
ORGANIZING CONTINENTAL FEDERATIONS
The six continents will also be formed into a federation. On the African continent alone there are 51 nations. I will form a continental federation for Africa so that they can stand as a strong force to deal squarely with the European continent. The South American continent already favors my ideas. I intend to propose the Federation of the North and South American Continents. If powerful countries oppose my ideas, they will be excluded.
The purpose of establishing such federations is for the sake of world peace. The leaders of some of the powerful nations may criticize me and accuse me of trying to become a dictator over all of these smaller nations. However, my motivation is quite different. I have always given you the freedom to choose and have been teaching you how to let your conscience guide you, I have never practiced dictatorship over Unificationists.
Whatever I have initiated has always been successful. I am leading humanity towards peace. Therefore, people feel that they should follow my example.
In the near future the 32 nations of South America will be totally united together centered upon Rev. Moon. The same will be true of the African nations. They know that for the past 20 years I have been devoting myself to building oceanic enterprises in order to provide food for starving people. The fish powder that has been developed under my directive is constantly being sent to the African continent. I may propose to the leaders of the African nations to unite to protect the raw materials and resources of the African continent which are being taken by the developed nations. I will encourage them to maintain and protect their natural resources in order to build a prosperous Africa.
Once the leaders of these African nations realize that I have enough power, knowledge and truth to teach European continental leaders, then the African leaders will unite with me and thus lead the European continent.
In order to be saved, this nation has to be turned around 180 degrees. Who can tackle this job? Only I can. The American government and all of its various organizations are unable to accomplish this. The Christian world is unable to do this. Only Reverend Moon and the Unification Church is able to accomplish this task.
I have asked the United Nations to recognize the Religious Federation for World Peace, the Women’s Federation for World Peace, the Youth Federation for World Peace, and the Student Federation for World Peace. If the United Nations officially recognizes these four organizations which were founded by me, then I am willing to indemnify the debt which the United Nations is carrying. About 75 percent of the world population belongs to various religions. If they all come forward and con-tribute to solving the United Nations’ debt it will be an easy task.
BROADENING THE SCOPE OF THE PROVIDENCE
I may propose that all the salaried officials of the world contribute one third of their pay checks to save the world for a period of three years. Then the world’s problems can be solved. In the free world, if people donate one-third of their pay checks for three years they still could survive.
If anyone opposes this suggestion, then I will show the accounting of how many billions of dollars I have spent for various causes and silence them. If my idea is accepted by the world, do you think there is a possibility of uniting the entire world? [Yes.]
Fifty years from now, no matter how sad you may feel, I will be in the spiritual world. By then at least two thirds of the presidents of the world will be Unification Church members. [Applause.] Within 2,000 years, Christianity reached 1 billion people, but that leaves over 4 billion people, most of whom are still living in poverty. If these 4 billion people recognize the help they have received from me and become inspired by the truth of the Divine Principle, then spiritually as well as physically they will be helped. They will become lifted up and eventually become my supporters and Unification Church members.
The World Convention of the Federation of Island Nations for World Peace took place June 16-19 in Tokyo. I have directed the federation officials to mobilize ten top representatives from each of the 40 island nations to come to Tokyo on July 1 in order to hear the Divine Principle. Then I will send them back to their nations to educate others. How many of those 40 island nations will become Unification Church nations? [Applause.]
We are not talking about a dream. This is a practical reality. Many of those small island nations really envy my power, ability and influence and especially the truth that I proclaim. In Laos, I am preparing plans to build up the national infrastructure. Our company is going to build airports, railroad systems, hospitals, factories, harbors and the entire infrastructure. Don’t you think that I have that kind of ability? [Yes.] Once former communist nations tum around and realize that I have been helping America’s enemy nations for all these years, they will immediately realize my value. That is why Laos has invited me to carry out this development.
Since this worldwide boom has been taking place, do you all want to remain sitting here as spectators, or do you want to participate in this providence? [Participate!] Those of you who are truly determined to participate in such a providence raise your hands. How about Western ladies with floppy hairstyles. Are you still willing to participate? [Yes.] Then you must be crazy. The secular world claims that you are all crazy. [Crazy for Father.] [Applause.]
RESTORING HEAVENLY SOVEREIGNTY
There is no time this morning to go into too many details, but on a worldwide scale we have completed the realms of elder sonship and true parentship, and we are now entering the era of kingship. The entire world is reaching that era. The era of kingship on a worldwide scale involves selecting nations to join the Unification Church. That is why I am initiating the Federation of Island Nations for World Peace.
There are approximately 194 nations in the world. Of these nations 184 are members of the United Nations. Once the 100 Japanese missionaries are sent to 184 nations, they will focus on mobilizing all of the ambassadors of each nation. If we deal with all of the embassies in every nation of the world, just imagine the degree of influence that can be exerted from the four major nations, beginning with Korea as the Adam nation, Japan as the Eve nation, America as the Abel nation and Germany as the Cain nation.
Blessed couples from these four nations will be mobilized to be sent out to 184 nations of the world. That means 536 couples out of these four nations will be sent out to the world. If America doesn’t have enough blessed couples to send out, then Great Britain and France will provide a certain portion of them. If Germany cannot provide 184 blessed couples, then Italy will help Germany reach its quota. If this happens there will be seven different nationalities involved to represent God and True Parents, and we can connect with seven different embassies in each nation.
As True Parents’ representatives they will all promote the True Family Movement, Purity Movement and True Love Movement. Because Adam and Eve lost their purity, they lost the true family and they could not practice true love. Under True Parents’ leadership, families from these seven nations will stand in the position of national messiahs. These national messiahs in 184 nations will form the base for the world messiah and complete the restoration of kingship. This will be the starting point of the Kingdom of God on earth. Those who are sent out to these 184 nations will become the original ancestors of that particular country. These representatives have to be absolutely united with one another, centered upon Korean and Japanese leaders who stand in the position of parents, Adam and Eve.
I want the couples I am sending out to build condominiums where families of four different nationalities can dwell together in harmony. When they make money they have to share that money equally in order to educate their children and live harmoniously with one another. If they cannot accomplish this, they will be isolated when they go to the spirit world.
Do you imagine that America will continue to maintain senior citizens homes in the future? In our families, grandparents, parents and children have to live together in harmony. You need your parents, yourself, and your children in vertical alignment as well as left and right, front and rear in order to protect you. You have to be supported by these four different directions and positions. Koreans, Japanese, Americans and Germans are all very different from one another. They represent four different directions, but they have to be united. With-out making the foundation of digesting former enemy nations and uniting together with them in harmony, you can never build the Kingdom of Heaven on the earth. This is very clear.
We need heavenly sovereignty in order to begin heavenly registration. Just as we have birth, marriage and death certificates, we also need heavenly citizenship. There are tens of thousands of blessed couples all over the world, but we do not have this heavenly registry. This is because we do not have a nation. Once people are entered in the heavenly registry, mass migration will take place. Maybe the people from the- northern hemisphere will move to the southern hemisphere, and vice versa. People can enjoy the benefits of modern culture and technology no matter where they live, due to computer technology.
BECOMING AMBASSADORS OF HEAVEN
The Washington Times has become the focal point of the world’s conservative news media, through the Internet. People throughout the entire world are now subscribing to The Washington Times through the Internet. [Applause.] Even The Washington Post and The New York Times are trailing. I am a smart man. I am trying to help you create a second Reverend Moon out of your husbands. I am also trying to help you find Reverend Moon within your in-laws. Once these representative national messiahs are sent out to the world they will have to be really tenacious in dealing with the various embassies. If an embassy does not have enough power, knowledge and money to provide to persons from their nation who would like to open new businesses, maybe our national messiah could provide the means to help. With our resources, it should not be a problem.
These ambassadors often don’t have too much work to do. If you invite them to lunch they will come. If each of the 184 nations receives 100 Japanese missionaries, then those missionaries may want to obtain citizenship in that nation and perhaps become governors or presidents. Therefore, I selected college graduates and very beautiful Japanese sisters to send as representatives to these nations. Everyone likes Japanese women. Is this true? [Yes.] Even in America we can see many Japanese faces.
In 1975, over 20 years ago, when I sent out the first missionaries to 120 nations, I gave them the clear direction to be absolutely united with one another. However, they were not really successful at that level. Now at the family level I am again sending out representatives, this time from these four nations to 184 nations.
In 1975 the missionaries were from Japan, Germany and the United States. They were all sent out on an equal basis and directed to unite with one another. However, they had problems at the Cain and Abel level. They all argued about who should stand in the position of Abel. This is why they had difficulty succeeding in their mission. Now in the Completed Testament Age family units are being sent out. The nations of Korea and Japan stand in the position of Adam and Eve, the father and mother positions. Now that a hierarchy exists of parents and children, there can be no fighting and family settlement can take place without any problem. No nation will be able to oppose that foundation.
I have already established enough foundation in the world. Now it is a matter of organization. In Africa there are many heads of state and tribal chiefs who welcome me. The time has come when we can relate with heads of state all over the world.
Therefore, Unification Church members must be able to speak more than one language. You should master at least three languages. Do you understand? [Yes.]
The Unification Church will be recognized as the organization with the most female diplomats in the world. Once we have 100 missionaries established in each nation, those women missionaries will play the role of diplomats. Each missionary will be far superior to other diplomats in their country.
Since Japan is officially opposing me, these 16,000 families will have to sell their homes and property and move to those countries. I may call the rest of the families in Japan to move to South America. Why should they remain in the nation which opposes our movement?
I organized the Federation of Island Nations for World Peace. The next stage will be to form the Federation of Peninsula Nations for World Peace. Peninsulas represent a man’s sexual organ, and islands represent a woman’s sexual organ. Because the fall resulted from the misuse of the sexual organs of man and woman, in the Completed Testament Age these federations of the peninsula and island nations must unite in order to restore the failure of Adam and Eve.
This federation of island nations is a formation-stage organization. The federation of peninsula nations will be the growth stage. The federation of continental nations will be the perfection stage. Then the world will become the Kingdom of God on earth.
