Father’s speech at the leaders’ conference on November 23, 1994 at east garden, Irvington, New York
ON May 1, 1994, I announced the formation of the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification (FFWPU). However, America failed to catch that spirit, so finally yesterday Farley Jones was inaugurated as the president of FFWPU. Have you heard me speak about the significance of FFWPU? (No, we have not, Father.)
Do you understand why the Unification Church leaders are unable to bring new members? (We are not teaching the Principle.) From now on our Divine Principle education will be done by the use of the black Divine Principle book. The biggest advantage to carrying the Divine Principle with you wherever you go is that if you feel low and need spiritual help, you can read the Divine Principle and immediately regain spiritual momentum.
If you read twenty or thirty pages of the Divine Principle black book each day, your level of spirituality will rise daily. Tell me how many times you have read the Divine Principle, cover to cover, in your life. Those who have confidence that they have read it over fifty times raise your hands. How about over ten times? It is clearly not enough. Of course people can counsel you, but their source is also the Divine Principle book. If you have the Divine Principle book always with you, you can receive your own advice directly from the source. Therefore, please refer to the Divine Principle book before trying anything else.
When the late [HSA-UWC] President Hyo Won Eu was writing the Divine Principle, he was not just writing it out of his own head. With my input and super-vision, it was God’s revelation. Not a single word in that book is from former President Eu’s head. Paragraph by paragraph he would bring it to me for correction and approval. Therefore, former President Eu was totally united spiritually with God and me. In order for this light bulb to light it needs plus and minus wiring connected to a generating plant. For the same reason, you need the Divine Principle book.
As history progresses you will see more and more just how significant is my message. You must understand how precious my words are. Dr. Young Oon Kim wrote her own version of Divine Principle, to a certain extent. She did not do it with my approval at each chapter. Her book was colored, to a certain degree, by her own understanding of theology and philosophy. It may contain some good explanations philosophically and theologically, but because I did not approve her writing it has no spiritual connection with me. Even translations of the Divine Principle book into other languages need to convey not only the meaning, but the spiritual essence of the Principle. Without this essence, the words have no life.
Lecture the Principle continuously
In the Korean Divine Principle book, the “Principle of Creation” takes up seventy pages. To lecture even the outline of the “Principle of Creation” takes three hours. However, we should be able to summarize the essence of the “Principle of Creation” in fifteen minutes. That is the idea behind coloring the different sections [highlighting the key points].
Originally this book was written and edited so that anyone who read it would understand it. For three years and eight months before the late President Eu began writing this book, he gave lectures for sixteen hours every day. Based upon that foundation he began to write the Divine Principle under my supervision. I sat in on every one of his lectures and gave my critique. That has been the Unification Church tradition.
Therefore, it is most important for church leaders to maintain the standard of lecturing for 24 hours a day in your church. With that kind of dedication, the spiritual world can connect directly with what you are doing. However, to lecture for 24 hours every day is virtually impossible. Therefore, the members of your congregation should take turns reading the contents of the Divine Principle book 24 or sixteen hours a day.
When you give Divine Principle lectures, remember that, first and foremost, you are lecturing to the spiritual world, not to the physical audience. You may have only two or three guests, but thousands of spirit men are in attendance. Therefore, you have to invest your sweat and blood into your lectures. You have to lecture continually to mobilize the spiritual world and create a real spiritual atmosphere. The conscience of fallen people is vertically connected and through it we can mobilize the spiritual world.
The history of salvation is the history of re-creation. Re-creation requires new material and new concepts. Nothing from the past should be connected to it. It has to have a pure, genuine new source. The goal of re-creation is the original point from which God created this world. What then is the original point? Creation began with God pouring out Himself for the sake of others. To pour out means to sacrifice yourself and give for the sake of others.
Those who pour everything out for the sake of others are in the position of subject. However, when you pour everything out for the sake of others, your investment does not stagnate; rather, it turns around and comes back to you. When you see what you have poured out come back to you, you shed tears of gratitude. God created the world not because He needed power and material but because He needed an object of love. Even God is lonely and sad and needed an object of love.
Even though I have gained a certain amount of fame inter-nationally, without Mother I would be a very sad and lonely man. Divine Principle teaches us that God created man and woman and all things to feel joy and happiness. The source of happiness and joy is the object of our love. Before you married, did you expect your future spouse to be inferior to you? No, we want our spouse to be infinitely better than ourselves. We have this desire because God wanted His object of love to have infinite possibilities for greatness.
Tears bind us to God
God poured every ounce of Himself into the creation of His children. Since God gave everything to us when He created us, we should be able to return everything to God with tears of utmost gratitude. God can then return even more to us. If you give something to a person who fails to return any appreciation whatsoever, you do not feel inspired to continue to give. By the same token, we should return gratitude and appreciation to God. This kind of heart-to-heart interaction between God and man must occur before total giving and receiving can take place.
We are meant to be the objects of God’s love for eternity. We connect with eternal love by returning our tears of gratitude to God. We usually shed tears when we are excited and happy or moved to sadness. When you shed tears of excitement and joy, your spiritual energy rises. However, when you shed tears of sadness, your energy goes down. The first tears human beings shed were tears of sadness because of the fall. They took the path to hell, rather than heaven, when they were cast out after the fall.
When you receive love from True Parents, you should be able to penetrate True Parents’ heart through offering your joy and love. When you receive love and joy from True Parents and God, you should return it with tears of joy and excitement. This is the only way our love relationship can continue for all eternity.
When parents have to go away for a time children cry. Did you experience that with your own parents when you were children? Your parents then returned and you cried with joyful excitement. As they stayed with you and you felt good, you sometimes shed tears of joy. On the basis of on your repeated shedding tears of joy and happiness with God, you will live with Him for eternity. The key is our heartistic level. We were created to be true objects of love to God, but because of the fall people have been going to hell. However, through God’s grace and love you have found the new lifeline leading to restoration and re-creation. Now you need to establish the heartistic standard of shedding tears of joy and happiness.
The scriptures say that unless we become like children we cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven. We have to understand that verse in terms of the relationship between children and parents. Children who are close in heart with their parents will shed tears of joy and happiness connected with the parents. When a small child is separated from his mother, he will not feel joy until she returns. The longer the waiting period, the greater the joy of the reunion. Just imagine how many tens and thousands of years God has been separated from His children. Do you think that after this amount of separation we can feel normal when we are adopted by Him? God is our vertical True Parents. If we truly understand this, can we face God without genuine tears? If you were a two-year-old child separated from your parents for a long time, when you had the chance to grab hold of your mother’s arm, you would not let it go. The most fearful thing for such a child is to be separated again. We should be able to have that kind of experience in our lives of faith.
God poured everything into the creation of His children. We should feel as close to God as a small child does to his parents. Mothers joyfully give their own milk to their children. The mother’s milk-line is a pipeline for life. When the baby nurses, it feels happy. We should remember how precious it was to be nurtured by our own mother’s milk. God’s heart and mind are exactly like that of a nursing mother. That was God’s state of mind when He created us. That is the starting point of the Kingdom of Heaven.
We should respect mothers for giving life and love to their children, for giving and forgiving. That was the original relationship between humankind and God, but due to the fall everything became cut off. Because of the fall, we view things horizontally, instead of both horizontally and vertically. We should be able to implement the true love practiced between a mother and child on all levels from the individual to the worldwide level.
Heartistic connections
As church leaders, are you fulfilling the position of God and parents to your congregation? Do you truly love the members of your congregation more than your own children? Of course you need to look upon your physical children as your children, but you should look at the members of your congregation as God’s direct children. Even your own children will have to follow the path of the members of your congregation as they grow. The members of your congregation are children of God and True Parents, but your own children have not reached that level yet. You have to raise God’s children out of your own congregation.
Review your life according to this formula. There should be a relationship between you as the leader, in the position of God and True Parents, and your congregation through which your blood and tears can be communicated to one another, because your blood and tears represent your love, your life and your sacrifice. Of course the blood flowing within your body is invisible, but to be connected by blood means to be connected internally. Through shedding tears together you can be heartistically connected.
Whenever there is a collision of goodness and love among people, there are always tears: either tears of joy or tears of sadness. Tears of either sadness or joy involve some intimate relationship of love and life. You should long for your members to return to partake of the meal that you have prepared for
them or the special food that you have set aside for them. With a motherly heart, you should long to see those members and give them both spiritual and physical foods. That is the kind of heartistic relationship that should exist between you and your members. The Bible tells us to love our enemy. However, since your members are not your enemy, you should be able to love them even more than you would your enemy.
Offer everything to others
The Principle clearly states that if you genuinely offer every-thing for the sake of others there will be genuine return. Adam and Eve were created as God’s objects of love. As objects of love, they were supposed to return love to God while revering and worshipping Him as their subject. We call this bongsa, meaning service for others, and heisang meaning sacrifice. It means serving with an attitude of respect and reverence. When you serve your subject of love, you need to offer your reverence and respect, as well as your service. It means a willingness to cut one’s own flesh to offer it to one’s subject.
You need to practice these concepts. If you want to raise your members as objects of love, you should expect them to become infinitely superior to you. God created us to practice a high level of sacrifice and become exalted love partners. God is our subject and we are His objects. This means God is the subject of our love, life, lineage and even our conscience. Of the four, love is in the highest position because without love, life and blood lineage cannot be produced. Love is the connecting point of everything.
In conclusion, to raise your members means to re-create them from God’s position. God lost all of humanity due to the fall, and He is now re-creating His children. As leaders we re-create our members, just like God, through a continuous process of giving and receiving, investment and return. The recipient of our outpouring should be able to return tears of gratitude and joy. Because of such tears of gratitude God will turn around and give back once again. This principle applies to friendship, because when a friend gives something and you thank him warmly, he will naturally feel like giving again.
Love your country as a parent
The very first time I placed my foot on American soil I thought that God had sent me here to offer this nation and its people unsurpassed parental heart and love. God is the center of the entire universe. As long as you are connected to Him and practice the same principles, the entire universe will be united with you. Wherever I went and whatever I saw, I practiced parental love for this country. I wonder how many Americans, past or present, have lived with the same dedication to this country and its people.
In general, Americans claim that they love this nation, but they focus upon their own assets. They have their own houses and try to multiply their wealth. However, God is investing everything for this nation and world.
Through Jesus, God wanted to build the Kingdom of Heaven on earth starting in Israel. Jesus was God’s son and the people of Israel were God’s chosen people; from this point God wanted to save the entire world.
If you practice serving with respect and lead a sacrificial lifestyle, you are in the position of central figure. That is the universal law. That is why I am launching this campaign for the _entire Unification community worldwide to serve with respect and sacrifice. Automatically Unification Church members will then become the central figures for the world. God has this kind of attitude and if we adopt the same attitude, then we automatically connect with God and we will receive His protection.
Invest yourself in your members
It is the universal law that whatever you invest with a genuine heart automatically returns to you, creating circular motion. Motion generally diminishes energy, but because of give and take, circular motion increases energy, centered upon true love. The energy level of linear movement diminishes and eventually disappears, but the give and take relationship continuously creates motion and increases the energy level when it is centered upon true love.
The history of restoration is the history of re-creation. We should be in the position of God as a re-creator, continually investing and forgetting. The perpetual movement of investing and forgetting builds a love partnership between parent and child and between husband and wife. As central figures and initiators of re-creation, you have to be able to love and invest more in re-creating your members than in your wife and children. This is the only way God can work through you. Just as you sometimes shed unexpected tears of longing for your parents and brothers and sisters, you should shed tears for the members you are raising. Such a genuine heartistic relationship is the treasure with which you can raise up your members, otherwise your spiritual level will decline. If you simply sit in the position o.f central figure waiting for people to offer some-thing to you, you are doomed to lose because you are taking Satan’s position. God always gives out while Satan takes in.
This is a very important teaching I am giving today. Because you have not been practicing this kind of love, our family has not grown. If you have a prayer room such as this, its floor must not be dry. Your tears should be there every morning, praying as your members are out working day and night. Genuine tears and love always travel together. According to this standard, no one is qualified to be in the position of leader. However, unless you turn around and reach this level, your children will not have a good future.
Love your enemy
Because of the fall, the Old Testament era, New Testament era and Completed Testament era have appeared. Sin has been accumulating like a huge mountain. Out of their desire to reduce the level of sin, people have made burnt offerings and held various ceremonies and rituals. Jesus even offered his own life for the sake of fallen humankind.
I have lived by the same principle. I have been giving you so much, but if you do not realize what you are doing and if you fail to return the proper loving gratitude to me, then you are doomed.
Because God created humankind, He has been responsible for people, sometimes directly and sometimes indirectly, trying to restore them. Likewise, I have been offering everything for you. Therefore, if you do not realize this and do not return love to God through me, the consequences of your failure will affect even my family. Because of God’s sadness, indemnity must be paid. Since I have given you everything, you now stand in the position of central figures, parents and God. If you fail to practice the principle of giving, your children will have to pay indemnity for you.
If you feel that you have received ten percent, then make sure that you give back more than ten percent. If some of that does not return to you, you can feel secure knowing that you did the best you could. You did not need to give an extra five percent, but if you did so you have a five percent margin. What you give for another person enables him to give in return and create a circular motion. That is why the concept of loving one’s enemy is the essence of truth. Instead of punching your enemy, give and keep giving to him. When you seek to take responsibility for an enemy, you fill in the gap between you.
The Washington Times is practicing the spirit of loving one’s enemy for the sake of this nation. This country tried every possible way to crucify me, but instead of taking revenge on America, I offered America more, through the Washington Times. That is how we can pay the proper amount of indemnity so that both can survive.
Because of this very principle, my family has been sacrificed greatly. I offered Heung Jin Nim to the spiritual world and yet my immediate family is still suffering and paying indemnity. If I was not here, there would be a big problem. God has been paying indemnity for others throughout history. Without God, what else is there?
Without complying with this principle you cannot stand in the position of central figure, parent and God. If, as a church leader, you sit comfortably at home while your members are shedding their tears and blood on the front-line, trying to make even one more penny or trying to do even one more minute of spiritual work, you will be damned by God, and your children will be taken by Satan. Television evangelists usually spend the money they receive for their own sake; as a consequence, their children are not good examples. Instead of spending that money for themselves, they should spend it for the nation.
This is a critical message today. Until you practice these principles, you will never understand the tears and blood I have been shedding throughout my life, behind the scenes, for the sake of God and humanity. Because you did not live up to this standard, there is no improvement within this community.
When I first announced the educational program for 160,000 Japanese women, not a single ch1.1rch leader believed me. Every one of them thought that it was an impossible task, because after one month of trying to mobilize people we ended up with 380 women. Mother herself quietly suggested that I cease the program because it looked impossible. How much did you invest and dedicate yourselves to bring people? I was so serious that I invested myself one hundred pe1·cent 24 hours a day. Therefore, the people underneath me naturally had to be pulled up to my level of seriousness. In the end 7,148 people attended. I made this foundation out of reality, not out of concepts. I used God’s original essence of investing everything in the work of creation.
How to become the central figure
Once again, according to universal law, the person who serves with respect and sacrifice becomes the central figure. 1n the communist world. people say, ”What is mine is yours and what is yours is mine.” What is the difference between that concept and our concept? We offer up what is ours for the sake of our family, our family for the sake of our tribe, and our tribe for the world and for God. What is God’s then becomes ours. God’s love is our love. Step by step make sure that you are the central figure. By investing for the sake of your family, you become the central figure for your family. When your family offers itself for the tribe, it becomes the central family for your tribe. When the tribe offers itself for the sake of the nation, it becomes the central figure for the nation. This is the only way we can occupy God’s heart. In this way God’s love can be yours from the bottom rung of this ladder, all the way up to the top.
You have received so much from me, but you have not practiced it. This makes you like thieves. Do you clearly understand why the American Unification Church did not grow? (Yes.) The reason thousands of members left is because you failed to practice this principle. The reason why American people are be-coming more individualistic every day is because they do not understand this principle. Satan is pulling them away. If this trend continues, America is doomed to perish. Who can reverse this trend? Only the Unification Church members can. It is your responsibility. If you are truly serious, you will be unable to stop shedding tears even when walking on Fifth Avenue.
When we discover that a member of our family has cancer we shed tears of sadness, but in America the entire population has cancer. How can you lead normal lives? If we take this seriously, how can we just eat and sleep?
In order for a tree to grow, the nutrients must pass through the root system and be distributed. If individual branches try to grow without going through the roots, they will eventually wither and die. Individualism causes us to think only of our-selves or our immediate families. Such people are like small branches trying to survive without being connected to the root. This is the problem of this society. Without practicing this principle, America is doomed to perish. Once you practice this principle it does not matter whether you belong to the Unification Church or not: wherever you go you will survive and flourish. As long as you connect with the root you will always be ahead of everyone else. You will always try to do something which no one else wants to do.
Once again I want to emphasize that our community in America failed to grow because this principle was not practiced. I do not feel like continuing to speak, because I see that you have not borne fruit. I feel like a mother with breasts full of milk needing to be suckled by a baby. I do not feel that you are sucking the milk I am trying to give to you. Since it has not been flowing, the milk has stagnated.
We are making a global family
These are the Last Days, and at the end of history we will witness more destruction of families, because of Satan’s final challenge. The only hope is through the Unification community, centering upon sacrificial love and family values. Humanity has no other place to go except to the Unification Church. The whole world is lacking this central God-centered concept. This has been labeled the era of the global village, but Unificationists call it the “era of the global family.” The global village concept lacks a central figure, which can exist only within the concept of a global family. This is the reason I have established the Family Federation for Unification and World Peace.
The dispensation of restoration has eight levels. As you progress through these stages, you can return to the original point and start over if you need. However, if you continue without stopping you can proceed, one step at a time, higher and higher. These eight stages represent the entire human history.
Without the fall, it could have taken just twenty years to reach the pinnacle. The biblical history records approximately 6,000 years, but in reality it has been more than tens of thou-sands of years to find one central man. Even that person has to wait until he establishes the family level. This is how progress occurs in the dispensation of restoration. If God could have intervened at any stage and turned everything around, He would have done so by now. However, the Principle prevents God from doing this. The fall was committed by human beings, so men and women have to resolve this problem, not God.
Strive for the heavenly family level
The formation stage, corresponding to the Old Testament era, represents the Satanic family. The second stage, which represents the New Testament Age, is equivalent to the satanic national level. Only beyond this satanic national level can the heavenly family level begin. The level at which Unification Church members receive the blessing is at the satanic national level. From there you strive to reach the line from which the heavenly family level can begin. You receive the blessing at the growth stage because the fall occurred at this level; then you have to cover a certain distance to be able to leave Satan’s realm. With the blessing, you begin as a heavenly archangel family and grow through this line [pointing to the blackboard].
Even my own family began at this level in 1960 and reached this line by 1980, after establishing the three seven-year courses. Because of that victorious foundation in 1992, I proclaimed the Women’s Federation for World Peace. Until this point, the dispensation focused on restoring Adam, so Mother could not surface. The archangel represents the male aspect, and I had to go through a certain period without Mother surfacing. Because of that victorious foundation, the perfected man (True Father) and perfected woman (True Mother) declared True Parents and the Completed Testament Age worldwide. With this proclamation, anyone who stands on the same line as True Parents is at the same level.
That is why I could declare the era for the liberation of women. Because of Eve’s sin, women have historically been under male domination and mistreatment. In this Completed Testament Age, women can enjoy being with Father and Mother in the same time. The satanic world can no longer create strong opposition, and 1992 became the dividing line. This year, based upon this foundation, I declared “The Safe Settlement of True Parents and the Completed Testament Era.” This fallen world exists at eight different stages, from the individual on up. True Parents are establishing a superhighway through all of these eight stages. The eight stages can be viewed vertically or horizontally. Horizontally, all humanity can stand on the same level with True Parents. This means that the failures of Adam and of Jesus Christ have been restored by the appearance of True Parents.
All people can be part of True Parents’ family
The Old Testament era, New Testament era and Completed Testament era are stages of returning to the original point of Adam and Eve. Due to my victory, the levels are now connected to each other. These stages represent the first Adam, second Adam and third Adam. Looking horizontally, you see three different levels of Adam, but if you look down vertically, the first and second Adams are encompassed within the third Adam’s boundary. Due to this victory all are connected. Eventually there will be no boundaries-just one genuine Adam.
You can also look at the Old, New and Completed Testament eras either vertically or horizontally. The Old Testament era took 2,000 years [to prepare the foundation], the New Testament era 2,000 years, and after 2,000 years the Completed Testament era has begun. The three eras together make 6,000 biblical years. However, from God’s point of view the elder brother, middle brother and youngest brother are all children of God and all belong to one generation. That is why I had to indemnify 4,000 years of biblical history within forty years.
The fall that occurred in one family stained 6,000 years of human history. Now I am turning around and indemnifying the entire human history within one generation, so they can be one generation, one family with me. Adam was supposed to pay the proper indemnity to restore his own family. Jesus came at the national level, and I came at the worldwide level. Once I complete my mission, both of them can receive the blessing of belonging to the same generation as me. Centering upon God, we represent three brothers, living and working together as one family. Adam and Jesus can share in whatever comes from God to me. Of course, I am working at the worldwide level, but spiritually it is like one family level.
Through this I set the condition that the entire human family can stand on the same line with me. All generations can stand on the same line with me, because their ancestors, Adam and Eve, have received the condition of victory through me. That participation allows their descendants to belong to the same level, because anything that belongs to the parents will naturally be owned by the children. This is how I can combine the entire humanity at the worldwide level and marry them all together.
Throughout history, no one had been able to live with True Parents’ family, not even at the time of Jesus. Because of my victorious foundation of establishing True Family, all humanity can have the opportunity to live together in the same generation with True Parents’ family, serve True Parents’ family, and enter into the Kingdom of God.
The fall resulted in a satanic marriage, which produced false parents, false lineage and false consciousness. Centering upon True Parents, people can be married and engrafted into the true lineage. There are three steps to take: first, the restoration of lineage; second, the restoration of possessions; and third, the restoration of heart, or shimjung. This represents your tribal level. The concept of nation may seem too far away, but as long as you have your tribe then you have a strong enough foundation upon which you can stand. Based upon the family level, if you have twelve tribes you can claim people and then a nation.
Before the blessing, everyone belongs to the satanic family. By receiving True Parents’ blessing you can begin as a heavenly archangel. Centering upon True Parents’ family, which is the heavenly family, three different stages were established in 1992: the satanic family, the heavenly archangelic family, and the heavenly Adamic family. Blessed couples struggle along at the level of heavenly archangel, heading toward the level of heavenly Adam. Once you decide to follow me with absolute faith, you can easily receive the blessing and go up higher.
Because of the absolute foundation established after 1992, the heavenly family has been established and so the Family Federation for Unification and World Peace has been inaugurated. The Unification Church was established in 1954. Beginning then, I spent forty years indemnifying 4,000 years of history. There were seven years from 1945 to 1952, and between 1992 and the year 2000 there are seven years. Right after World War II America failed to accept me and establish the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. After forty years, the providential time is now equivalent to 1945.
At this significant time, I established the Women’s Federation for World Peace and now the Family Federation for Unification and World Peace. The unification of the world can take place through unifying all families on the horizontal level.
The realm of perfected Adam’s family The Family Pledge resulted from these forty years of victorious indemnification. To be qualified to recite the Family Pledge you should be in the realm of the perfected Adam’s family. Centering upon True Parents, you have to be connected to true life, true love and true lineage. Because of the fall, mind and body have been separated, husband and wife have been separated, and parents and children have been separated. However, through true love we can all be united. If you want to be qualified to recite the Family Pledge, your mind and body must be united, your couple must be united, and children and parents must be united.
Without this kind of unity among your family members, even though you may recite the Family Pledge, Satan will still always be with you. The Family Pledge should be recited upon the victorious foundation of these relationships. Based upon this Family Pledge, I am championing the Family Federation for Unification and World Peace on a worldwide level.
I am establishing a new tradition here. From now on, each blessed family should have a worship service within your family on the first and fifteenth days of each month. If you do not have children, you can begin as husband and wife. After you have children, you must teach them this tradition, demonstrating your unity to your children, in the position of God in front of Adam and Eve. God could not interfere with His children’s fallen act because they were at different levels. However, because of my victorious foundation, blessed couples are in the realm of the heavenly Adam’s family. If anything goes wrong you can intercept it and correct it. This is direct dominion.
To live in the era of the heavenly Adam’s family means to practice the Family Pledge. At the beginning of each point is the phrase “centered upon true love.” The family of Adam and Eve becomes the central family, as well as the representative family of all humanity. One man and one woman who become totally united are a microcosm of the universe and a seed that establishes the family level. Many such families will be established, but the value of each is the same.
A married couple in America may consider themselves to be one couple out of probably 120 million couples in America. They never think of their marriage as a representative marriage of the entire humanity, encompassing the past, present and the future, and even those in the spiritual world. In God’s ideal, a blessed couple represents God and all humanity. The value of all humanity is given to one blessed couple.
Adam and Eve had three children. That means there was potential for three marriages. If each marriage produced three children, multiplication would have continued. The love flowing from unfallen Adam and Eve to their children and grand-children has a steady, unchanging value because it comes from God. In a marriage the husband has to think that he is the only man, representing the entire humanity, and the wife has to think that she is the only woman in the eyes of God. The first love is between one man and one woman. This is applicable between God and us. If people had been educated from elementary school on through college with this kind of educational system, the world would be entirely different today.
After you restore yourself and your family, you should restore the people who belong to Satan and take them with you into the Kingdom of God. In this way you restore the position of elder son in relation to the Cain-type people in the satanic world, who are in the position of younger brother. As the direct children, you should be able to bring the Cain-type children from the satanic world together with you into the Kingdom of Heaven. Bring your generation, your children’s generation and your grandchildren’ s generation until the entire satanic world is restored.
The family of Adam and Eve is the representative family, connecting with all levels from the individual to the worldwide level. The family is the model that can be expanded to the tribal, national and worldwide levels. At the family level God’s plan was reversed; therefore, at that level we have to correct it. This is why we need the Family Federation for Unification and World Peace.
Do you understand that Adam’s family is the central, representative family of humankind? You must have the conviction that your family is the central, representative family of all humankind. If you are truly the children of God you should have that kind of quality, don’t you agree? (Yes.) As blessed couples, if you want to join the true Adam’s family, you must be able to practice the Family Pledge.
