<h3 align="CENTER">September 1, 1997<br />
Belvedere International Training Center<br />
Translator — Peter Kim</h3>
<p>What is the meaning of <i>Chun Bu Ju Eui </i>to you? <i>Chun Bu Ju Eui</i>, which was declared on September 1, 1989, means the &#8220;ism&#8221; of Heavenly Father and True Parents. Centering on the true love of God, the new family, the true family is now being established in this world. This is the start of a new era and new life centered on Heavenly Father and True Parents. This is the meaning of <i>Chun Bu Ju Eui</i>.</p>
<p>What did we celebrate yesterday? <i>Pal Jung Sik</i>, which as you know is the celebration day of the eight stages. As I explained yesterday, we celebrate <i>Pal Jung Sik </i>because True Parents won the victory on each of the eight stages. God has grieved that He could not come down to dwell with us vertically or horizontally for the 6,000-year history of restoration. Now God can come down to our level, vertically and horizontally, through True Parents. Now God can dwell with us and start His new providence. That is why the day after <i>Pal Jung Sik </i>I declared <i>Chun Bu Ju Eui</i>.</p>
<p>Since the declaration of <i>Chun Bu Ju Eui</i>, God’s providence is not just centered on individual restoration but on the basic unit of the family. Centering on the restoration of families, God could start working on the entire world. Because of that, centering on True Parents and True Family, <i>Chun Bu Ju Eui </i>was expanded, and finally on this foundation I could declare this year the &#8220;Realm of the Cosmic Sabbath for the Parents of Heaven and Earth.&#8221; This is the time for expanding the family unit as True Family to the worldwide scale. That is why I started with 30,000 couples horizontally on the worldwide level as the formation stage, then blessed 360,000 couples as the growth stage on the worldwide scale, and finally this year 3.6 million couples as the perfection stage.</p>
<p>As we remember, at the time of Adam and Eve, God wanted to see Adam’s family being perfected, and upon that foundation the sinless perfected family would be expanded. However, because of the fall of man, that ideal of God was not fulfilled. Therefore, now that I have won the victory on all of the eight different stages, I finally could declare this year the <i>Realm of the Cosmic Sabbath for the Parents of Heaven and Earth</i>. Because of this I have expanded the blessed family on the worldwide scale. Also, because of the three stages of the blessing on the worldwide level, the 3.6 million couple blessing which is the perfection stage is the watershed point. So from this point on, the blessings which will follow—36 million couples and 360 million couples — will be somewhat easier because they are being accomplished on the downturn rather than the upturn. This is the direction the providence is going in now. The era of the global family is dawning.</p>
<h3 align="CENTER">Share God’s blessing<br />
with all of humanity</h3>
<p>We have to understand that at this time wherever we go — to any village, city or town or even nation — it is possible to share God’s blessing with the families there even though they belong to the secular world. Because True Parents have won all the victories on the eight stages, that is why this global family era is here. Wherever you go you will be welcomed to share the blessing you carry in place of True Parents. After we accomplish the blessing of 36 million couples, what would you expect to happen? In each village in every corner of the world we will be able to hoist our flag, the flag of the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification. We will be able to set aside one particular day and call everyone there and give them the blessing. That time is coming.</p>
<p>One of the miseries of humankind up to this point is that from the individual level to the family level we had no relationship with True Parents, no relationship with God. We only had a relationship with Satan. Therefore, now is the time when Heavenly Father and True Parents are snatching you away from Satan. We are doing the same thing now by sharing the blessing. That is why we have been witnessing how individuals, families and even entire nations at times have been mobilized to oppose True Parents, to oppose our work. That is why you have seen your own parents, brothers, sisters and other relatives sometimes coming against you. As some of you experienced in the past, there were sometimes kidnappings carried out by your own physical parents, because they still belonged to Satan and you were being snatched away by heaven to the heavenly side. But True Parents alone have won all the providential battles and victories, which they are sharing here together with you out of their love.</p>
<p>God is always prepared to deal with us whenever a providential time period is here. When we look at the roughly 70,000,000 families in America, can we find any single family in which God can dwell comfortably and peacefully? Ordinarily American families believe that they do not need their grandparents to live together with them. Often when the children have grown up, parents feel they do not need their children to stay with them. To a certain extent even between husband and wife, they say, &#8220;I don’t need you; I can live my life by myself.&#8221; Many Americans live completely, strictly centered on selfish individualism and privacy. Satan wants this. Satan knows that restoration of the four position foundation is the beginning of God’s ideal, so Satan is desperate to hold onto it and not allow it to be taken away by God.</p>
<h3 align="CENTER">America declined because it rejected Reverend Moon</h3>
<p>However, ideally, according to the principle of creation, each family needs the positions of grandparents, parents, children, brothers and sisters. But Satan still wants to destroy all these relationships. Think about it. Right after World War II America, equipped with the spirit of Christianity centered on family morals, was the single most powerful country. But within forty years this bond was completely broken and torn apart. Why? Because America along with Christianity opposed Rev. Moon right after the war. They were supposed to welcome True Parents as the Messiah for humankind, but they did not. That is why this kind of tragedy is taking place in America. Right after World War II, centering on Christianity and America, it was the first time in history that the Messiah could come and take the throne. That opportunity was prepared providentially, but America and Christianity did not realize it and threw it away. Right after World War II, America centered on Christianity was getting ready for God and True Parents, because Christianity is in the position of the bride religion and bride culture. America and Christianity were ready providentially to receive the Messiah as their bridegroom and the True Parent, but failed to do that. That is why America has been declining, perishing step by step. On the individual level, the family level, and even on the national level now America is not well respected by the rest of the world.</p>
<p>From the viewpoint of the Kingdom of Heaven, the base of the family, tribe, nation, world and cosmos was lost. Why? Because the bridegroom, who is the central king of these bases and the Messiah, that is the True Parent, was kicked out. True Parents and God connect as one seated upon one throne. Once the Messiah sits upon that throne, the Kingdom of Heaven on earth will come about through the unification and perfection of the family, world and cosmos. That was America&#8217;s God-given purpose, but instead of fulfilling the role of the bride, America chased the bridegroom out. Everything was lost. So America has been going down and down and has lost God, Godism, God’s viewpoint of the universe, the world, the nation and the family, God’s viewpoint of grandparents, parents, couples — everything was lost. So America is a place without hope.</p>
<h3 align="CENTER">AIDS is the result of false love</h3>
<p>That is why America is smitten by AIDS, which is the obvious result of the human fall. What is AIDS? AIDS is the result of false love. You can describe woman’s sexual organ as being like the mouth of a poisonous rattlesnake with sharp teeth to bite man’s sexual organ. So man’s sexual organ is going into the mouth of a rattlesnake. Then think about it; it will just be bitten. It involves two tongues, a split tongue. There should have been just one tongue, but because of the fall the tongue was split. So in the Last Days, the most fearful thing is the love organs of man and woman. Do you understand that Satan wants to break down God’s ideal four position family system?</p>
<p>That is why in the Last Days we see the practice of free sex, including even incest. Don’t we see in America cases in which incest is carried out by parents towards their own children? As such children grow up they come to hate the opposite sex: some women only want to stay with women, and some men only want to stay with men. That is why they become homosexual. Sometimes even a grandfather will rape his own daughter or granddaughter. There is total chaos and confusion when a grandfather sleeps with his own granddaughter, or a father or his brother or nephew sleeps with his daughter.</p>
<p>So how can we find absolute love? In the midst of this turmoil now God has come to do something in America. Do you think God will be able to find somewhere He can settle down, or will God have to go away from America? When God comes down to America with these kinds of chaotic families, God feels that this present time is worse than the time of Adam and Eve’s fall. It is like a third fall. So God will withdraw Himself and not stay with these fallen families in America.</p>
<p>What is the meaning of the fall of Adam and Eve? Adam and Eve could not establish a God-centered family because of the fall. Then at the time of Jesus Christ, centered on Judaism and the Israelites, the family ideal was supposed to be established on the national level, but it was not established. Therefore, the third time, in the Last Days at the time of the coming of the Lord of the Second Advent, God wanted to see this ideal established on the worldwide level. However, after World War II, America centered on Christianity failed to do that.</p>
<p>After the Fall of Adam and Eve how many years has it taken for God to reach this point? Over 6,000 years. According to the Christian calculation it is said symbolically that from Adam’s time until now is about 6,000 years, but actually it is more than 25 million years since the beginning of human history. Probably from Jacob’s time it has been 6,000 years, because that was the beginning point of restoration.</p>
<p>If at the time of the Lord of the Second Advent we fail we do not know how many years it will take until God’s restoration can be completed. Only because True Father, the Lord of the Second Advent, clearly understands and knows the Principle from God, it did not take that long.</p>
<h3 align="CENTER">The Lord of the Second Advent came after World War II</h3>
<p>Right after World War II, the worldwide population of Christianity was about 800 million. Again, please think about it. Centered on Christianity if America, France and Great Britain, which happened to be at that time the Allied countries, were truly united with the Lord of the Second Advent and had received him as the king of kings, it would have been very easy to establish these blessed couples all at once—not just 3.6 million, 36 million or 360 million couples. Within a short time period the entire world would have been completely changed. Within seven years I could have declared <i>Pal Jung Sik</i>, and <i>Chun Bu Ju Eui</i>. All these celebration days would have been established right away.</p>
<p>We must remember that because of this failure, America which was representative of Protestant countries at the end of World War II in a way laid the cornerstone for the destruction of humanity by failing to receive the Lord of the Second Advent, the True Parent. Only because True Parents came has the situation of humanity not deteriorated that far yet and we still have hope. Without True Parents there is no hope on the individual, family, national or worldwide levels.</p>
<p>A good example of the degree to which the world is perishing and without hope is the AIDS epidemic which is threatening humanity with its sharp teeth. If the spread of this disease continues humanity is doomed to perish, because it is like a vacuum cleaner.</p>
<p>But the Messiah came as a single Lord of the Second Advent and has established a model man, and then on the family level a model, true family, true tribe, true nation and true world. This is the process of restoration True Parents have been carrying out, and at some time the entire world will be embraced all at once, with everyone connecting through true love. Do you understand?</p>
<h3 align="CENTER">What is true love?</h3>
<p>What is true love? It is becoming absolutely one or united. Without true love unification absolutely cannot be achieved. Without God and True Parents we would never be able to have true love here in this world. That means all of you women would not be able to marry, but would have to live a life of celibacy. That is why if we study the major religions of the world they usually encourage people to leave their family and their society and live a life of celibacy. That means one has to deny and negate the secular world and keep oneself really pure in isolation. It is like turning around 180 degrees and kicking away this free sex world. Because free sex was practiced at the time of Adam and Eve through the fall of man, we have to kick this satanic world away. Because Satan planted free sex in Adam’s family, in this time of harvest standing at the end of history, the fruit being borne is free sex.</p>
<p>At the time of Adam and Eve, even though they practiced free sex, to begin with there were only two involved. But now people who practice free sex may get involved with hundreds or even thousands of people. It is like beginning from the point of Adam and Eve the entire world has turned around 360 degrees and returned now to the original point of the practice of free sex.</p>
<p>Centered on the worst kind of parents and the practice of free sex, human history began and humanity has multiplied. This standard to which all humankind is connected is the way of diminishing, the way of perishing. How miserable a situation America and the free world are in! Do you understand?</p>
<p>That is why America is in the position of the archangel. The archangel cannot have a partner, because it is a spiritual being. So that is why even the religion of Christianity is an archangelic religion. America as the base of this archangelic religion lost its direction for the future. That is why all of these distorted phenomena are now manifesting themselves in America. America is in a way now giving these poisonous rattlesnakes to all of the many countries of the world by sending people to those countries to influence them. What are we exporting from America? Man is in the position of archangel. That is why these American young people go abroad and plant Satan’s love seed.</p>
<h3 align="CENTER">Homosexuality is a<br />
consequence of incest</h3>
<p>Again, think about it. If a child has been sexually abused by his or her father, grandfather, mother, elder sister, or whomever, such children grow up hating members of the opposite sex, which eventually leads in many cases to a person becoming homosexual or lesbian. As this population of people who had this kind of experience grew, they began to use the term &#8220;free sex&#8221; and to establish it as a fad against the norm.</p>
<p>Homosexuals and lesbians claim that a woman who does not like men, or a man who does not like women can marry someone of the same sex. They demonstrate claiming, &#8220;We are the real American population.&#8221; This is a totally, absolutely satanic phenomenon from the viewpoint of God’s purpose of creation. Is that true? This is in reality the way in which society can only diminish and perish. How can we deny that?</p>
<p>How can such a society, without hope in the darkness of the dungeons of hell, welcome the morning sun? That morning sun is the Lord of the Second Advent, who comes as the king of kings of the nation, of the tribe, and of the family. He is the owner and king of kings of all grandfathers, all parents, all husbands and wives and all children. Do you understand? According to this viewpoint, through connecting to this Second Coming, we can realize individual perfection, perfection of the family and perfection of the tribe, nation, world and cosmos, and ultimately reach God.</p>
<p>There is only one main center, the Lord of the Second Advent, through whom perfection can be achieved in every direction on a worldwide base. Father did it. Father has established the center at the highest level in every direction; for example, in the political and diplomatic worlds, in the economic world and the cultural world. No matter how much there is denial, having passed through each of humanity’s twelve gates, once inside each of these various worlds will be both liberated and perfected. Is that true? (Yes!) But it is not an easy course.</p>
<h3 align="CENTER">Women should now lead<br />
the restoration providence</h3>
<p>As a result of the fall, Eve actually ended up killing three male figures. Therefore, in order to be restored, women in Eve’s position are in the position, symbolically, to be killed by three men, or three times. At the family base Adam was killed, at the national base Jesus was killed, at the world base, symbolically speaking, the Second Advent was also killed. Three husbands were killed. Through the mistake of one woman, the family base, nation base and world base were lost.</p>
<p>However the time has come in the providence of restoration in which the Lord of the Second Advent has the right to snatch women away from the satanic world. Because you belong to the satanic world, the Lord of the Second Advent has the right to take you away from there.</p>
<p>Through the mistake of one woman, the family base, national base and world base were lost. So you American women, blessed wives, have to take all of your belongings to the world by going, for example, to Africa or some other place and devoting your life there for the sake of the people. America is a fallen field now. So instead of planting the seeds of free sex and AIDS here in America, you can pack up and go to those countries and start something fresh and new.</p>
<p>Because the male, archangelic figures are going around the world and destroying the women of the world, recreating the fallen atmosphere opposed to God’s viewpoint, the women have to be at the center. That is the law of indemnity.</p>
<p>Don’t you want to somehow live like a queen at home and make yourself really pretty and beautiful? Up until World War I there was no notion even among Westerners that the wife is the queen or master of each home and family. But after World War I women’s position was in a way escalated to that of the queen of the family. The whole purpose was to receive the Lord of the Second Advent as the bridegroom and to work with him. But this purpose was turned in the wrong direction, and instead the Second Advent owner and bridegroom was chased out by the bride, centering on America and connecting to all of the women of the world. The husband was chased out.</p>
<p>You American women do not know what has been happening. These men, the archangel figures, have been going around the world like a poisonous rattlesnake and breeding with millions of women in the world, but you American women are unaware of it. The Bible reveals that Adam and Eve fell because of the temptation from the snake. We see the same thing now in the Last Days. These archangel figures are going out to the world and using their split tongue and rattlesnake-like head. What other weapon does man have to swallow or eat women? That is the only one you have.</p>
<p>That snake head which is man’s sexual organ contains the worst kind of poison. It has to be cleaned up, even if it must be hit to do so. It is only fair. The poison of AIDS is being spread through that rattlesnake’s head throughout the world, even among Oriental women who have been really encouraged to abandon the moral standard of their own culture. When handsome looking American men appear in the rest of the world everyone looks up to them, thinking they must be rich, they must be handsome. So women usually are attracted to them, and that is the way they are destroyed.</p>
<p>Statistics show that by the year 2010, about one billion people will be affected by AIDS, which will be about one sixth of the world’s population. Once you have the AIDS virus it takes seven to twelve years until you become obviously infected. So think about what kind of result we can expect. We have to cut them out, otherwise the human race will become extinct within one generation. If even God could not interfere in or stop the fall of man, how can anyone expect that American legal or economic or political power can solve this problem, which is rampant now all over the world?</p>
<p>No power of the fallen human world can solve this problem. Even God does not touch that kind of action, but continuing in this direction we have no choice but to decline, to perish. The women of the free world do not have any route to follow. You do not have your real husbands; you do not have whatever you want.</p>
<p>American women are like kings; they possess every kind of property. Through divorce they take ownership of their husband’s property, and after divorcing two or three husbands a woman becomes rich.</p>
<h3 align="CENTER">Absolute sex is the solution<br />
to the problem of AIDS</h3>
<p>How can this kind of action be prevented? Unless we have men and women as individuals and in groups applying themselves to stop and to prevent the practice of free sex and all the immorality of this secular world, we have no hope to save the world from this problem. The only hope is the Unification Church, because we promote absolute sex.</p>
<p>This absolute sex is the sledge hammer with which to hit Satan who is using tools such as cigarettes to begin enticing or seducing men and women. It is customary in the Orient for men to smoke, but women usually do not, because according to the traditional Oriental view any woman who smokes is really low class, like a prostitute. However, nowadays cigarettes, and of course alcohol and drugs, are being used by both men and women to seduce or create a certain rapport between men and women in the wrong direction. What does alcohol do to you? Once you become intoxicated the other party can usually control you easily. It doesn’t matter whether you are a man or a woman. You can be pulled or you can pull someone else to do whatever you want to do with them. So what do people do after they become drunk with alcohol or intoxicated by drugs? Engage in free sex. As you know, America has launched wars against drugs many times, but all have failed. America should have given this responsibility to me with its full support; then I could have ended this problem a long time ago.</p>
<p>Since you know my teaching now, would you be sold to free sex, or would you rather give your life?</p>
<h3 align="CENTER">The Blessing wildfire is spreading<br />
all over the world like lightning</h3>
<p>Now this satanic world does not have any owner or master, any leader. Therefore, the Blessing fire is now spreading like a wildfire all over the world from the east, west, north and south, burning the entire world. As the Bible says like lightning from the east to the west, every corner of the world is now feeling this lightning of Blessing fever.</p>
<p>Centering on the viewpoint of true love, this world is a vacant place, without air. Do you understand? Now the wind of the blessing is flowing throughout this fallen world and breaking it up. Who is the owner of this world? True Parents, their children, their tribe, and their nation; through connecting with this blood lineage of True Parents the world can be saved. Whatever it takes to break apart this fallen world, that is no problem. True love power is the greatest power, so that like the power of high voltage electricity, when we are touched by it that which is untrue is burned up by its absolute power.</p>
<p>As the Lord of the Second Advent I am the owner of this world of death. But I have prepared everything—the medicine and injection, even the hospital to save all of humanity. No one else has done it, therefore, the world must follow Rev. Moon. There is no other solution, no other direction or choice.</p>
<p>When I started the campaign for world salvation, many people in the world thought that just like the fig tree in the time of Jesus I would bear no fruit. Eventually, however, as time passes people are coming to realize that the fruit of Rev. Moon, like the clean-cut, clean action, clean idea, clean everything Unification Church members with a higher moral standard than they can even imagine, is really ripe and the right one.</p>
<h3 align="CENTER">People are coming to recognize the efforts of Rev. Moon</h3>
<p>So now people are coming closer to me and are recognizing the contribution of my efforts to this world. The parents and relatives of our members in particular have started opening their eyes wider and wider because they see the reality, and the truth of my teachings. They see that in there can be found the characteristic’s of a true man and woman, true husband and wife, true family, nation, world and beyond. So that turning around 180 degrees opposite to the direction of this present world they are amazed to see within Unificationism the amazing standard of every level of true king from that of the individual king to the cosmic king. Seeing how wonderful it is they want to bow down; the same is true for you. The world outside is now changing its direction 180 degrees.</p>
<p>Do you like that kind of atmosphere? I don’t like it. Why? While creating this atmosphere I was persecuted with so much hatred. In response to that persecution, I went the way of indemnity. However America and the Christian world continue to deny and oppose Rev. Moon. Therefore the time has passed for unification of Christianity. The world and humankind have arrived at a more intimate level. Observing Rev. Moon and his life, many are coming to realize that for such a long time he has been the leading religious figure and champion in the world. They are amazed to see that, despite the level of opposition he has received throughout his life, Rev. Moon himself has remained unchanged.</p>
<p>In there is the beginning point of the eternal ideal home and ideal world, which is the place of God’s ideal. Is that true? (Yes!) No, no. Isn’t Rev. Moon the greatest swindler and thief? People in the secular world have made that kind of rumor. Is it true? (It’s a lie.) Yet there are people who want to strike and tear down Rev. Moon.</p>
<p>Think about the world situation. The sun is now rising in that world of darkness, lighting up every corner of it. That sun is Sun Myung Moon.</p>
<h3 align="CENTER">The meaning of Father’s name</h3>
<p>In Chinese characters, sun consists of two characters, one of which means ocean and the other land. Myung represents heaven. So Father’s name has the sea, land and heaven all included. Also, sun means brightness. Myung also consists of two characters meaning sun and moon. Myung is in the position of subject, while sun is minus. The name moon represents the truth. So within my name there is the truth, heaven, the sea, the land and brightness, and also the meaning of man and woman.</p>
<p>In the spiritual world everything is bright and clear; in that clear, bright atmosphere nothing can be hidden or denied.</p>
<p>So would you like to buy Father’s name? If you had the choice to buy this particular name, then you could possess everything — land and water to begin with, and even heaven and truth. Therefore, everything existing under God would belong to you. How much would you pay? One single man or woman could not do it; not even three. Even if all of the men and women of the world come together as the price, God would say no.</p>
<p>But if God finds one really, shabby looking man hiding in a corner of the street, and asks him, &#8220;What are you doing here?&#8221; and he answers, &#8220;I am a Unification Church member, and I am following True Father to save the world,&#8221; then God will bring him out and lead him to True Father.</p>
<p>God will say, &#8220;I have concern for you, who are in a position like that of the lowest, most miserable black man or laborer, being hit because of representing the Unification Church.&#8221; Originally God cannot touch this man, but His heart is such that He needs him. So God will touch him and say: &#8220;I am concerned for you; follow behind me.&#8221;</p>
<p>So, since you know the truth, do you think you have a right to go after smoking and drinking, drugs and free sex? Now we know the identity of Satan. Satan has used smoking, drinking, drugs and free sex to destroy all of humanity. These things are Satan’s armament! Once they are used or practiced, everything breaks apart, creating Satan’s dungeon of hell on this earth.</p>
<h3 align="CENTER">Western men prefer<br />
oriental women</h3>
<p>Do you understand, American men? You have a snake. The fall of one person connects with and causes the breakdown of the family, tribe, nation and world. Man’s position is fearful. American young people do not know this. American women, too. American women are proud: &#8220;We don’t need Oriental men like that kind of too small Japanese man.&#8221; Nowadays all American men do not like American women, who behave like the queen of queens — as individuals they want to become queen, as children they want to become queen, they want to be queen of the village, nation and world. That kind of queen does not want man. So Oriental women are needed who have genuine minds, who create a warm place, and who go the way of service, dedication and sacrifice. That is the model needed by the husband, family and world. Think about that. That kind of woman is the number one woman in the Orient, not the American style woman who focuses on kissing.</p>
<p>That is why once you know the truth and the reality and you become Unification Church members, even Western brothers prefer Oriental women as your brides, don’t you? So no one likes American women who take things for themselves as if they are queens. Now they have confessed that to you.</p>
<p>On the other hand, American, Western women who have lost American men have no choice but to say, &#8220;Well as a Western woman I have a lot of money, so you Oriental men who do not have much money, please come to me. Look how beautiful I am; my arms, breasts, hips, walking this way, moving fast, dressing well.&#8221; That is true.</p>
<p>Again, in terms of acting and thinking, the Orient and the West are exactly opposite in many ways. Oriental culture is more vertical and based on spirituality, while Western culture is more horizontal and materialistic. Because the spirit is in the position of subject to the material, all the major religions originated in the Orient. Based on those teachings all of the culture and traditions of the Orient profess that we have to become children of filial piety in the home and patriots in the nation, saints on the worldwide level and divine sons and daughters on the cosmic level.</p>
<p>However, when we look at Western history and culture, instead of separating the body from the mind, you have in a way been dominated by bodily desire and ambition and go after material wealth. When we study your origins, particularly that of the white race which came from the Scandinavian region, your ancestors used to be pirates out on the ocean. England was a base of pirates for a while, a military site. Based on the small island of Great Britain pirates went out across the five oceans and stole goods from the lands they went to, killing the people there, then storing the things they took from those lands in their own country. That is why if you go to some museums in New York or in London there are millions of things which were confiscated or stolen from other countries in the past. This was in actuality the way your ancestors helped the world to go down the drain, but now your people are proud of those treasures they have.</p>
<h3 align="CENTER">Understanding Father’s character</h3>
<p>Do you need me? How do you know I am not a charlatan or swindler? Look at me: I have small eyes, like a camera lens which can see far off, so that in looking far I am able to understand the future world. But I am seen as one who sits and waits to capture youth and property as the worst kind of swindler. Rev. Moon is such a controversial figure that whatever evil-meaning label the secular world has it has applied me. However, depending on the point of view of the beholder, it is also apparent that I have done good work. Therefore, I represent all different types of goodness. In reality, the satanic world can only give me 99 bad names, but because I have done much good work, the good labels can begin from 101 and continue infinitely.</p>
<p>Therefore, don’t you feel that no matter what it may take you have to buy my name? What if you have a choice between buying Father’s name only or buying the whole of me? But God has already taken me as a whole, by trading the entire, fallen cosmos. Do you understand? The fallen world belongs to me. The price God paid was the entire fallen universe, so I can claim it now.</p>
<p>If you have the choice to buy either a tuxedo which was worn at a wedding or a rag which has been laying on a street corner, which one do you want to buy? (The tuxedo.) You may be able to find billions of different articles of clothing, but if you have to find the tuxedo which Rev. Moon wore for his wedding, there is only one in the world. Suppose all of the people in the world come forward and wait in front of me with all of their belongings, wanting to buy my tuxedo. This is what Unification Church members are doing. You may not be able to buy the whole tuxedo, but at least you want to hold onto even one thread of it, no matter how feeble or weak it may be. Then you can still say that this small piece of thread is from Rev. Moon’s tuxedo. If you truly have one piece of thread which belonged to Rev. Moon’s tuxedo you can say that conditionally you have a small part of Rev. Moon.</p>
<p>So what is this small piece of the thread from Rev. Moon’s tuxedo? It is the blessing. The people in the world are now rushing forward even just to touch this tuxedo thread or to possess a small piece of it. Even if they have to cross the ocean or climb over a big mountain, they are all coming forward.</p>
<p>Once people have this thread, they can use this as the condition or base to make their own tuxedo and come proudly in front of me and say, &#8220;Rev. Moon, look, I am wearing the same tuxedo as you.&#8221; If people say that even in front of God, then God will recognize it, and nod His head.</p>
<p>Wearing this tuxedo gives you a free pass to go anywhere, and you will be welcomed everywhere. Do you understand? How wonderful is its value! Wow! This word Americans have is a wonderful one, isn’t it?</p>
<p>That is why all of humanity is bound to receive the blessing, one way or another. Originally, this blessing from God is so precious that only after we offer everything to God, our personal belongings as well as our national level possessions, should the blessing come. But because of the history of restoration, I started the dispensation of the blessing on the church level. So we have a long way to go; next is the national level and then the worldwide level blessing. That is why after I declared <i>Pal Jung Sik </i>in 1989, the worldwide level celebration of <i>Chun Bu Ju Eui</i>, the <i>Day of Heavenly Parentism</i>, was declared. Humanity will have one value system under God, and will then marry centering on that value system and ideology. That is the meaning of <i>Chun Bu Ju Eui</i>.</p>
<h3 align="CENTER">The victory of the 1988 Olympics</h3>
<p>As you remember, starting from the Korean War, which began in 1950, the world developed into a polar system in terms of communism and Christianity, or Godism and &#8220;non-Godism.&#8221; By the time of the Olympics in Seoul in 1988, these two polar systems were merged in a way and became one value system. Remember, before the Seoul Olympics the communist bloc and the free world bloc did not join together even at the Olympic Games. America and many other free world countries did not attend the Moscow Olympics, but beginning with the Seoul Olympics they started to meet again.</p>
<p>The president of Korea at that time was Noh Tae Woo. I had already set enough conditions that Noh Tae Woo was in the position of Cain, and I was in the position of Abel. I offered every possible thing to those Olympic athletes who came to Korea in 1988. We brought tons of McCol by truckload to the athletes, and also gave them lots of fabric for suits and dresses. We also offered a number of brand new cars to the Soviet athletes, but there was one condition: if they wanted to receive this gift, they had to open the demilitarized zone at Panmunjom, or the way through to North Korea. Through these conditions the way was opened spiritually as well as physically to bring about the unification of Korea.</p>
<p>So many of the athletes who came to Korea in 1988 said afterward they wanted to remain in Korea. We invited those athletic champions from many fields, particularly those from the communist bloc, to the Little Angels Performing Arts Center for a beautiful banquet during which they were buried in gifts.</p>
<p>At that time, I also called our missionaries from around the world representing each of the countries which were participating in those Olympic Games to come to Korea. These strong young champions in the position of Abel came to the Olympic Stadium to create oneness with the athletes from their respective nations. Some of our missionaries came from nations which did not have embassies in Korea, so the athletes from those countries did not have anyone to cheer for them during competitions. But our members as the Abel type representatives went to the stadium, held their national flags and cheered for the athletes from their nations, who were surprised. Through this these representatives of Abel and Cain were becoming one.</p>
<p>The unification of these world level youth was the condition upon which <i>Pal Jung Sik </i>could be declared. Of course even if the government wanted to oppose our actions at that time, they could not do it. We shipped truck after truck of McCol from the factory and unloaded it at the Olympic Village where the athletes were staying. It was like a mountain stacked there. Even though the government discouraged them, every athlete came and took it. Some athletes later told us that they drank more than ten bottles a day. Some even took bottles to the market and sold them to make money. Then Father told them, &#8220;You have done well.&#8221; Connecting everywhere; it was the setting of a condition.</p>
<p>Restoration is that difficult, complicated and detailed. While the world was in deep sleep I planned each step of the history of restoration and completed it. <i>Saegae-juk Chun Bu Ju Eui </i>means the worldwide level heavenly parentism. Externally through these conditions I could bring about unification, and by so doing communism was doomed to decline and perish. If America keeps opposing Rev. Moon, America will have the same destiny. I am still holding onto the tail of America. That is why America is still alive with its head above water. But if I let go, America will go down the drain rapidly. For this reason I have been mobilizing every possible leader here in America with whom we have connected over the years and have been working together with them. I offered many different seminars and conferences last year alone to bring unity among the Protestant churches in North America and the Catholic Church in South America.</p>
<h3 align="CENTER">Developments in Korea</h3>
<p>Upon this victorious foundation, True Mother went to Korea to carry out a nationwide speaking tour. Mother spoke in eighteen major locations delivering the truth to the leaders of Korea. Upon that victorious foundation I finally could declare the <i>Realm of the Cosmic Sabbath for the Parents of Heaven and Earth</i>. In other words, because of the forty years of persecution from Christianity, Korea has been rather slow and not really powerful, in terms of our church’s influence and activities. However, for the blessing campaign, I really wanted to see Korea become the number one country in the world. That is why I invested everything there, even sending True Mother three times in the last few years to tour the nation and deliver this truth, mobilizing every possible member in Korea and thus bringing the top blessing result among the nations of the world.</p>
<p>The goal which I had given Korea was 1.2 million couples. At one point President Hwang of the Korean Unification Church had told me that by the &#8220;eight sevens&#8221; celebration day probably the maximum they would be able to achieve would be one third, or around 400,000 couples. That was his viewpoint. Then I sent Mother to Korea to mobilize the Women’s Federation members, and the husbands followed also. So by the time Mother finished the third speaking tour in Korea, the number had risen quickly to 700,000 couples. Finally, on the eight sevens celebration day, the number of blessed couples Korea had accomplished was 1.05 million, a number which they had never imagined. Pres. Hwang is coming here in a couple of days. I expect him to report blessing 1.2 million couples. In the past our church membership in Korea was low, but because of this effort by True Parents, Korea now has the top number of blessed couples.</p>
<p>I had been thinking that if Korea could not reach its goal I would take this blessing to Uruguay. When we look at the geographical relationship between Korea and Uruguay, if Korea represents the north pole, Uruguay represents the south pole. There are many similarities between them. For example, during the fight for the independence of Korea from Japanese domination, forty-three Korean patriots formed the initial power to mobilize Korea. Uruguay has the same number of patriots. Among the national holidays of the two countries also there are many similarities. God worked through history in the background in this way. No one can deny that.</p>
<p>So although I was thinking of taking the blessing to Uruguay, because Korea became the number one country in numbers of blessed couples, Korea has set enough conditions that soon the unification between North and South Korea will be achieved. In addition, the equalization of wealth between the countries of the northern and southern hemispheres will be achieved. The resolution between east and west culturally will also be achieved.</p>
<p>After World War II, centering on True Parents, the Christian cultural world combined as one for the first time, making the foundation for the Kingdom of Heaven. However, that prepared foundation was lost.</p>
<p>True Parents have set up again that kind of flat, family based, horizontal foundation on the earth. Is that true? Within that foundation there is no race, no boundary, no nation, no individual’s name; there is no America, no culture, no political phenomenon or power. There are no concepts in there. It is the starting point of recreation. Do you understand?</p>
<p>If a woman has the concept that being a famous graduate of Harvard is something impressive, that is Satan’s concept connecting with her. If she is proud to be a woman like that, proud because she is living in America and it is the best place, that kind of thinking is connecting her immediately with Satan’s world. The original place of creation did not have the color of America. Is that true? (Yes.) But inside you say no. Yes, that is true. Any kind of color doesn’t want that kind of point of view.</p>
<p>So if Father commands you to go to Africa, that place where you go becomes your hometown. Is that true? The hometown of your African husband becomes your hometown. Such a woman can feel, &#8220;Wow, this most famous, colored man is my king. Thank you God for this blessing, this permission; forever my body will be connected with this earth.&#8221; Our personality is formed on this earth. isn’t it? We need to be so thankful that we can receive this original blessing which was lost until now. How about American couples? Do you like me to talk about this kind of thing? (Yes.) Yeeeeesss! You have to have that kind of confidence, action, ownership. Otherwise God will leave you again.</p>
<h3 align="CENTER">Developments in Uruguay</h3>
<p>Can you see how complicated it is? That is why I prepared the country of Uruguay a long time ago. Even eighteen years ago the best top class hotel in South America was built in Uruguay. Also a bank was obtained which has branches nationwide, and also a newspaper. I thought in case Korea could not fulfill its responsibility everything would be taken to Uruguay. I went around the entire world from Korea in the northern hemisphere all the way down to Uruguay, and came back around to Korea again and restored everything.</p>
<p>By re-engrafting to that kind of foundation we can proclaim the <i>Realm of the Cosmic Sabbath for the Parents of Heaven and Earth.</i></p>
<p>Now can you connect it together? So again, <i>Chun Bu Ju Eui </i>was declared centered on the True Family. <i>Chunji bumo </i>means the parent of heaven and earth. and <i>chunju ahnsik-gwon </i>means realm of cosmic sabbath. When we hear such terminology, because it is so providential, if we truly understand it we will bow down, or kneel down, and our entire body, all 40 billion cells, will shake with excitement.</p>
<p>From there is the starting point of the individual kingdom of heaven, the family kingdom, and the tribe, nation, world and cosmos kingdoms, connecting heaven and earth, making a one body system centering on true love. When True Parents go to the Western world, God is following too. Also all Unification members follow behind True Parents like a shadow. Is that true?</p>
<p>Don’t you feel when True Parents are out of America that the entire country is empty? But when we come even just to Kodiak and you know that we are there, then you feel, &#8220;Oh, the sun is rising.&#8221; When we are growing up, if we come home and do not find our father or mother there, we feel no one is home. There should also be this kind of love between parents and children on the worldwide level. When the entire world feels the same way as you do about True Parents, then the time will be here when we can restore all humanity.</p>
<p>It is a time of big transition. If you know the significance of the time, will you just keep sitting around and taking it easy, stand up and run, or fly like lightning? Which one? (Fly like lightning!)</p>
<p>Those people surrounding you will be amazed and maybe even fearful thinking that lightning may hit everything. But that lightning originating in places all around the world will be gathered in one place. In there can be established the ideal country, connecting with the world of the Kingdom of Heaven, the liberation of God and of all things so that God may rest within the original, ideal house of creation. Is it true? You know well that, like True Parents, you also have to reach that ideal. Can you do it? (Yes!) I don’t believe you! Can you really do it? (YES!) Then raise your hands! Oh, mansei, mansei. God bless you, the heavenly kingdom and the earth, forever.</p>
<p><i>Peter Kim: This is the completion of Chun Bu Ju Eui. Please join me in prayer. Father, this morning we are sitting here to be electrified by Your thunder and lightning. Father, True Parents truly gave us the message of Chun Bu Ju Eui this morning. We are fully awakened, we are fully educated. Therefore, now it is time for us to stand up and fly like lightning so that the thunder will wake up all humanity to follow True Parents. Father, please, give us Your whip, so that we can really push ourselves in every moment of our lives to keep marching forward, no more backwards. Father, we truly want to inherit Your love, Your heart, Your strength and Your wisdom so that we can fully utilize them in our daily life as we continue our mission here in America.</i></p>
<p><i>This is the only hope for America to be saved, according to True Parents. Father, therefore, please let us be able to totally unite with True Parents and with the direction which True Parents have given to us this morning. Our immediate goal is reaching the blessing of 36 million couples worldwide, Father. This is our ultimate goal. We have to remember this goal during the day and night, twenty-four hours every day. Father thank You. Thank You again for the wonderful message You have given us through our True Parents this morning, and we are totally united with this message. We pray all of these things in the names of our True Parents. Amen.</i></p>
[Following Mr. Kim’s prayer, Father resumes speaking.]
<h3 align="CENTER">Have a brand new attitude</h3>
<p>Today is the first day of September so we need to have a brand new attitude in our life. Centering on the family we have to create the absolute environment. The first condition we need in order to be able to start this brand new environment is we must memorize the Family Pledge in Korean.</p>
<p>In other words, every day when we wake up we have to recite this Family Pledge in our minds and make sure, if not all seven points of the pledge, that we pick at least one of them and determine that day to live up to the standard of that part of the pledge. Also at night before you go to bed you have to reflect upon your entire day and whether or not you have truly lived up to the teaching of the pledge. If you feel that you have not lived up to that standard, then you have to repent and determine that the next day you will invest more effort and will go forward to reach it. Just as we eat every day to nourish our bodies, we have to put more effort every day into reaching higher and higher until we reach the standard of the Family Pledge.</p>
<p>Those who can recite the Family Pledge from memory, show your hands. You all have a family so you repeatedly recite the Family Pledge, but if you do not memorize it, it means you are false.</p>
<p>This family pledge is the paradigm for the education of your family. Therefore, if you are the man of the family, you have to memorize it and understand it fully. You have to be able to teach the meaning and the value of this family pledge to all of your family as well as to your neighbors. That is your responsibility.</p>
<p>During this past summer, the True Family took part in a 21-day workshop during which representatives from all of the different organizations under True Parents&#8217; umbrella gave a detailed report to them about what True Parents have done up to this point in various fields, so that they can be aware of these activities in more detail. Up until now I have offered many 21-day and 40-day workshops to people from the secular world, but I had never offered this kind of opportunity to my own children. However, the time has now come for me to do this. Up until now Satan could come into the True Family freely and play around and kick them around, but the time has come that Satan should not do that any more.</p>
<p>Always the problem stems from woman. Particularly in this time of transition, women have had more tendency to cause this kind of problem. Even within my own family, if that kind of situation develops I will have to restore it through the reverse way. That is why I may decide that this liberation and restoration course will take place centering on the youngest son. This youngest son always comes to Mother and wants to touch her and be close to her physically, because he loves Mother so much. He feels amazement that he was born from this very mother; what a mystery! So sometimes he sneaks into Father and Mother’s bedroom even at night and tries to sleep together with us.</p>
<h3 align="CENTER">Meet the two new couples</h3>
<p>There was a time of declining, but now is the time for rising. These two youngest sons are so pure, so well developed, raised and educated. In terms of the relationship of Cain and Abel, of course Young Jin Nim is older so Young Jin Nim is in the position of Cain and Hyung Jin Nim is in the position of Abel. Even regarding the sound of their names, in Korean hyung means elder brother, and Hyung Jin Nim is in the position of elder brother. You know the meaning of young in English, and Young Jin Nim is in the younger brother position. It is mysterious.</p>
<p>My view of the providence of restoration is that, just as before they were born these sons were contained within Father and Mother’s bodies and were then born from the same body, therefore, when they start their family life these two couples, four people, should have no problem even though they live in the same house. God’s ideal is centered on the family, on a couple. Therefore, they have to be reborn as couples.</p>
<p>Please keep your eye on them, on how they develop and prosper. Young Jin Nim’s fiancée, Hwa Jung Nim, may have some tendency to subjugate Young Jin Nim, but that is allowed only in the secular world, not here. On the other hand, Hyung Jin Nim’s fiancée, Yun Ah Nim, would not have that kind of tendency at all. So even though within the True Family there may be some struggles and friction among the brothers and sisters, these two youngest families will never have problems.</p>
<p>Please understand that from True Parents&#8217; point of view these are the last, youngest sons for True Parents to bless. The date of their holy wedding is September 6. Both 9 and 6 are satanic numbers. Upon that base True Parents will win victory and start the brand new heavenly families.</p>
<p>Also, these are the first couples receiving True Parents’ blessing after the declaration of the <i>Realm of the Cosmic Sabbath for the Parents of Heaven and Earth</i>.</p>
<p>Hwa Jung Nim may be a center of controversy in the future, so you have to keep your eye on her. If you feel there is some kind of advice you can offer her, you can write a letter and quietly send it to her. Hwa Jung Nim may have a character similar to American women, so she needs a more vertical center. She is still young, and so bright and exuberant that she feels as if I am on the level of her friend or husband. When we were sitting in a small place on a boat the other day, as the boat was moving like this, Hwa Jung Nim was gradually pushing me off. Of course I was amazed by that. She is the one central point of harmonizing force for all of the brothers and sisters in True Family.</p>
<p>Hwa Jung Nim’s family name is Yoo. In Chinese characters, the meaning of Yoo is willow tree. The main characteristic of the willow tree is that even when a small breeze comes, it moves like this, dancing like this, because the branches are very long and thin. Hwa Jung means harmonized family, so she should become the queen of harmonizing the entire True Family, moving like a small willow tree in a breeze.</p>
<p>Of course Hyung Jin Nim’s name is Moon, which stands for truth. Hyung means almighty, Jin means marching forward. So he is marching forward almighty, making everything perfect, with no obstacles and every gate open before him.</p>
<p>Of course this sister-in-law, Hwa Jung Nim and we can say younger brother-in-law, Hyung Jin Nim really match well in terms of building harmony in the family. I actually expect that the relationship between this elder sister-in-law and younger brother-in-law should become so good that Young Jin Nim and Yun Ah Nim may even become jealous about their relationship. In other words, Yun Ah Nim and Young Jin Nim have to convert their spouses to become like them, or these two should try to convert their spouses to be like the other two, to create perfect harmony.</p>
<p>If they truly pray together well in that kind of harmony, then God will truly come to East Garden and dwell there twenty-four hours every day. But those who do not follow these traditions will not be allowed to live at East Garden. There may be separation, but later maybe there will be a way to be received again. The same applies to you. If you do not follow the will of God, you will be cut off.</p>
<p>This is the time that we can truly establish settlement. Another factor in terms of their ability to build unity between the two of them is, Hwa Jung Nim is a wonderful, excellent singer and Hyung Jin Nim is an excellent dancer.</p>
<p>Happiness is now coming through our door here into the Unification Church. To bring that happiness in these couples will have to sing a song. Yesterday Hwa Jung Nim sang here, but I could not give her an A+. So she is going to try again. Today is the growth stage. [Hwa Jung Nim sings Keurieun Keumgang San, &#8220;Longing for Diamond Mountain,&#8221; Hyung Jin Nim sings another Korean song, then True Mother asks all four to sing together.]

<p>You do not have to study anything else. As leaders or members you just have to memorize and fully understand the meaning of the Family Pledge, and of course continue to read the three major speeches at least the number of times as your age. Recently I said not just your own age, but if you have four family members, and grandfather and grandmother and your children, put all those ages together and that is the number of times you have to read them. Then you will memorize them.</p>
<p><i><a href="http://www.unification.net/wogw/">The Way of God’s Will</a></i> is the record of my lifelong devotion and fight against Satan, as well as the history of my restoration course. You will feel True Parents&#8217; heart more deeply the more you keep reading it.</p>
<p>And finally, <a href="http://www.unification.net/bif/"><i>Blessing and Ideal Family</i></a>, which contains excerpts from volumes 1 through 40 of the 200 published volumes of Father’s speeches.</p>
<p>These are the materials which you have to master and fully utilize in your daily life and teach to others. These are the main resources you can fully maximize. Once you master these contents and the meaning behind them, you do not have to read any other philosophical books, but you will be able to teach any person from any field in the world.</p>
<p>Of course on top of this you always have to study and master the <a href="http://www.unification.net/dp96/"><i>Divine Principle</i></a>, as well as the Victory Over Communism book and Unification Thought. You know these three already while the others are relatively new ones.</p>
<p>As blessed couples you all need to study these readings, fully digest the contents therein and memorize them as much as you can. Then four times a year — spring, summer, autumn, and winter — we will have an examination on these contents. After we give the blessing to the 3.6 million and 36 million and 360 million couples, don’t worry about educating them as long as you master these contents and share them fully with them. Do you understand?</p>
<p>If a certain part of any of these readings is pointed out to you, you should be able to explain that part completely without difficulty. That means this subject matter should become your own property. I am now bequeathing this truth to all Unification Church members. Do you understand? I have taught you everything, all of the contents and every secret of God’s restoration course. Parents completely one making your one body truth viewpoint of perspective. Is this clear?</p>
<p>The time has come for the re-education of the entire Unification Church membership of the world. Everyone has to go through 7-day, 21-day and 40-day workshops. Since Americans are used to the environment here in America I may take you all the way to Uruguay to the remote countryside where you cannot see anything but nature. That is where you will be educated. Not just Americans, but Japanese and even members from small island countries will go to one of the Mercosur countries — Uruguay, Paraguay, Brazil or Argentina — to be educated.</p>
<h3 align="CENTER">North and South America<br />
should become like one nation</h3>
<p>Again, North and South America should become like one nation. North Americans should learn Spanish and Portuguese, which are spoken in South America, and South Americans should learn English. By doing so you will become closer and more united. Together you have to learn Korean.</p>
<p>South America has reached its goal of 1.2 million blessed couples, and of course you will reach your goal of 360,000 couples. Later on among the blessed families from North America and South America, the children of couples from North and South will be blessed with one another. This is the way we can unite the two parts of the American continent, just as between Korea and Japan, which are enemy countries, I initiated an exchange marriage program, and now their second generation are growing up like bamboo shoots. The second generation of these couples are more universally minded; not really Korean-minded or Japanese-minded, but harmony-minded.</p>
<p>A time of worldwide peace is coming. Whoever advocates just their own race and their own nationality will have to stand back. When this generation extends into third and fourth generations, each family’s pride will hinge upon how many different nationalities came to join its lineage. The more lineages connected to your family, the more proud you will become. If you have the lineages of twelve different nations in your family, all of the twelve different languages they speak will compete with one another. Then you will have to say, &#8220;Well, we have twelve different languages here, but the language which was spoken by True Parents is the original language, so we have to be united with that language, which is Korean.&#8221; Then everyone will say, &#8220;Yes, sir.&#8221; Why? Because Korean is the language of our home, of our hometown. Unless you and your children really master Korean, you cannot have your lineage connected to the top leaders of the world in the future.</p>
<h3 align="CENTER">Learning Korean is mandatory<br />
for the unification of languages</h3>
<p>At the eight sevens celebration, I declared that from now on whenever I call a leaders&#8217; meeting worldwide, I will never use another language even through an interpreter, only Korean. If the leaders of the world cannot understand my directions and teaching they will need to have a second meeting to find out from their Korean national messiahs what was said.</p>
<p>Within three years, by the year 2001 which is the beginning of the new millennium, everyone in the world should master Korean by utilizing the Korean national messiah in their own country. You have to put your hearts into it. Soon the time is coming that as a genuine Unification Church member, unless you can speak and write Korean fluently you will not be able to put your foot into the land of Korea. I want to see the unification of languages all over the world. As of now, about 1,600 different languages are spoken. Who is going to unify all of these languages? I am. Once we have one single language for the entire world, it will take only one broadcasting station, radio or TV, to reach every corner of the world. In terms of publications, if there is one language it takes only one book, then everyone in the world will be able to read and learn. But right now 1,600 different books have to come out on the same contents. It is a waste of time, manpower and materials. Everything is being wasted because of the division of languages.</p>
<p>But the time of the world family, the global family is coming. It is inevitable. Is there any &#8220;ism&#8221; or thought in the world superior to Godism? It is the best one, so it has to unite all. In the future when scholars dig into these teachings they have to be able to read the original texts, not the translated versions. There is a big difference between them. If any scholar comes and says he or she has studied Rev. Moon’s Godism, then we have to ask which version they studied. If they studied the English translation, then they will be in the second class.</p>
<p>If you have the ambition that your children be married with a Korean, then you should teach them Korean to begin with. The greatest hope you have as fallen descendants is for your lineage to be connected to True Parents&#8217; lineage. Therefore, the Korean language is mandatory. If you want to master Korean it takes about three to five years, but if you really, really dig into it, it may take only one and a half years. Those who do not want to learn Korean language and culture, raise your hands. Now is your opportunity. Now those who are eager to learn it, show your hands. We have to achieve unification of these two. Once we reach that goal, wherever True Parents go there will not be any language barrier. My heart and your heart can then be fully communicated.</p>
<p>God is working hard, taking action, isn’t it so? This is Godism, not Rev. Moonism. No matter how proud you may be of your country, America cannot subjugate and dominate the world forever. Your phrase is &#8220;one nation under God,&#8221; but we need one world under God. One nation under God is the democratic way, but one world under God is the final purpose God desires. It is humankind’s last purpose. History wants that kind of terminal point. All things wants that kind of purpose. Do you understand? Man, woman, the family, the nation and all of history want to achieve that purpose. Upon that foundation God can control everything, building the Kingdom of Heaven on earth.</p>
<p>We have to have a brand new life starting from this very moment on. That is why we need to fulfill all these conditions. Have you written down all of them? So if I or one of your leaders meet you anywhere and ask you to recite Family Pledge Number 3, you have to be able to do it automatically. If you do well, your leader may shake your hand again, embrace you, and take you to lunch or invite you to his home for dinner. There is connecting power there. Don’t we need that kind of power? (Yes!) Of course, if you are in the position to ask someone to recite, you have to thank the person if he or she does well. Do you understand? It doesn’t matter who you are, whether you are parents or college students, even elementary school students, you all have to do it. When you recite it you have to stand in a position of attention with a salute. Don’t you think you will feel great if you are able to do that? (Yes!)</p>
<p>Every person in the secular world can come to understand that within Unificationism is the center which is God’s ideal family. Without hesitation we can make that proclamation. Is this a good sounding phenomenon? Mansei!</p>

15th Anniversary of The Washington Times<br />
June 16, 1997<br />
Washington, DC</h3>
<p>Respected guests from Washington D.C. and abroad, dear staff of The Washington Times, eminent world literary leaders, ladies and gentlemen. I deeply appreciate your taking time from your busy schedules to attend this meeting.</p>
<p>Today, as we celebrate The Washington Times&#8217; 15th anniversary, I cannot help but feel deep emotion. Fifteen years ago, when the world was adrift on the stormy waves of the Cold War, I established The Washington Times to fulfill God&#8217;s desperate desire to save this world. Since that time, I have devoted myself to raising up The Washington Times, hoping that this blessed land of America would fulfill its world-wide mission to build a Heavenly nation. Meanwhile, I waged a lonely struggle, facing enormous obstacles and scorn as I dedicated my whole heart and energy to enable The Washington Times to grow as a righteous and responsible journalistic institution.</p>
<p>Today The Washington Times Corporation can be proud of its development into a world class global media enterprise. Since the end of the Cold War, the world began to realize that the direction taken by The Washington Times was correct. History will not forget our contribution. The efforts of The Times to revitalize the moral and spiritual values of the United States and the world are being recognized as absolutely urgent and necessary at this time.</p>
<p>I want to convey my warmest appreciation to all The Washington Times staff who have worked so hard together with me to develop The Times. I would also like to express my deepest gratitude to the American and world leaders who have offered their unwavering support.</p>
<p>The most precious thing that I can offer from the bottom of my heart as a token of my appreciation on this special day is to introduce you to what I consider to be the two most significant lectures that I gave during my most recent world tour.</p>
<p>I refer to &#8220;<em>View of the Principle of the Providential History of Salvation</em>&#8221; and &#8220;<em>In Search of the Origin of the Universe.</em>&#8221; Today, we need a complete solution for the problems of sexual immorality, family breakdown and alienation among our young people. These two speeches provide fundamental solutions for these problems. When each one of you goes back to your home, I hope you will take some time for self-reflection. Whenever you want to bring more love into your family, read these speeches together with your family and think deeply. I believe this can help you and your family to achieve harmony and real happiness.</p>
<p>I suggest that you read these two speeches as many times as the number of your age. If your age is over 80, then read them more than 80 times. The more you read these speeches, the more heavenly blessing and fortune will be with you. The more you read them, the more peace will flow in your family naturally and automatically I invite you to read more!</p>
<p>The title of the first speech is &#8220;<em>View of the Principle of the Providential History of Salvation.</em>&#8221; To summarize: Because of the failure and Fall in the family of the First Adam, Jesus came as the Second Adam to restore the failure of the first family at the national level. The First Adam had become fallen Adam. Thus the Messiah, Jesus, came as the Second Adam. However, since Jesus was not able to realize a family based on being True Parents, the Messiah needs to come back as the Third Adam and restore the mission of True Parents on the world level. This is the mission of the Second Advent, who is coming as the Third Adam. This speech also introduces the fact that the fundamental issue of salvation is the restoration of the original lineage.</p>
<p>The title of the second speech is &#8220;<em>In Search of the Origin of the Universe.</em>&#8221; Since the human Fall originated in the misuse of love, humankind lost True Love. Thus the problem arises: How can we recover True Love? The loss of True Love means falling through adultery. In other words, True Love became degraded by misusing the sexual organs, and in order to restore it, we need to use these organs in the right way. Just as the seed of fallen love was planted in the Garden of Eden during the first ancestors&#8217; youth, so in these final days, mankind will harvest the fruit of the Fall among our young people. That is the reason why today we find so much chaos and contusion, centering on the issue of sex. This problem can only be solved with what I call &#8220;Absolute Sex.&#8221; Only the concept and practice of Absolute Sex can prevent the destruction of the family and reverse the corruption of our youth.</p>
<p>This evening, because time is limited, I would like to share a speech with a new title: &#8220;<em>True Family and True Universe Centering on True Love.</em>&#8221;</p>
<p>Everyone here has parents and teachers, and you also have the leader of your nation. Correct? These are things everyone undeniably needs. However, when compared to the true standard, there are many different levels of parents. What do you think? To what extent have you, yourself, become True Parents? In the same way, if a person is a professor at an Ivy League university such as Harvard, Yale or Columbia in the United States, or Oxford and Cambridge in England, does this mean that he or she can be called a True Teacher? Similarly, there are different types of leadership in a nation compared to the true standard of leadership. Even if someone is the president of a superpower such as the United States, does this mean he or she is a True President?</p>
<p>In fact, today in the family, children do not trust parents. Between spouses, there is no complete trust. Brothers and sisters also don&#8217;t trust each other fully. Furthermore, students do not trust the teachers in the schools, and the people do not trust the leaders of their nation.</p>
<p>So the problem is, how can we attain the true standard of even one of these three most important positions of parents, teacher and leader?</p>
<p>When I say you should become True Parents, True Teacher or True Leader, what do you think is the highest standard or central model for those three positions? That is God. God is the True Parent among parents, True Teacher among teachers, and True King among kings. God is the Eternal True Parent, Eternal True Teacher, Eternal True Leader and King. If we are children of God, we need to become True Parents first, just like God. We should also follow the way of the True Teacher, just like God. And we need to follow the way of the True Leader, just like God. This is the idea of the three primary positions. The ultimate model is God.</p>
<p>Who is the Messiah sent to the people of Israel, promised in the Old Testament? The Messiah is the one who comes as True Parents, True Teacher, and True King. However, because Jesus was prevented from establishing the True Family and uniting his people, he needs to come again. In other words, because he did not accomplish the national-level foundation, the Messiah of the Second Coming will come as the Third Adam and teach the way of the True Parents, True Teacher and True King at the world level. This is the messianic concept. Wherever the family, nation, world and Heaven exist, the idea of the three primary positions of parents, teacher and leader should always be established.</p>
<p>To exist in the spatial dimension, human beings need to stand in relation to what is above and below, right and left, front and back. In this way, one&#8217;s position is determined. One&#8217;s shape and situation depend upon where one stands relative to above and below, right and left, and front and back.</p>
<p>This same formula that applies in the relation of above and below, right and left, and front and back also applies to the family, the nation and the world. Just as there are above and below, right and left, and front and back centering on the individual, in the family there are parents and children, husband and wife, and brothers and sisters. Similarly, in the nation, centering on the leader, families should embrace all the civilizations of East and West and all the civilizations of North and South. Then they can embrace all people of the world as brothers and sisters. Ultimately every level will form a family pattern. All these models have the same pattern and the individual self is the central model. In the same manner, one&#8217;s existence expands to the level of the family, nation, world, Heaven and Earth, and eventually reaches God. Each person has the desire to live as the center of the cosmos and the potential to make this a reality.</p>
<p>Thus, the core concept of the universe is the concept of the family. Heaven represents parents. Earth represents children. In the concept of East and West, East symbolizes man, West symbolizes woman. When a woman gets married, she usually follows wherever the husband goes, but they have equal value. When the West side reflects the sunlight, it has the same value as the East side. The relationship of brothers is the same. When the older brother works, the younger brothers naturally help him.</p>
<p>Therefore, people should exist in the relation of parents and children, husband and wife, and elder and younger siblings. And these three relations meet at one central point. There can be only one center. Above and below, right and left, and front and back should not have different centers. If the central point is different, then the balance of the relationships between above and below, right and left, and front and back will be broken. Eventually above, below, right, left, front, back and the central point all together comprise seven positions. Thus, the number seven represents all elements uniting to become one centering on God, with perfect True Love. Together, these seven elements form a complete sphere and eventually a family structure of harmony and unification. So, as you can see, seven is truly a lucky number.</p>
<p>When this sphere completes itself and revolves, it becomes a new entity based on the number eight. As long as True Love remains unchanging, the central point can revolve without change. But because of the human Fall, God was expelled from the central position. Since God&#8217;s True Love was expelled, the True Family ideal collapsed.</p>
<p>There are many differences in lifestyle between East and West. In many ways, they are totally opposite. For example, when Koreans call someone to come to them, we motion with the palm down, like this. But if we do this in the West, people go the other way. We often misunderstand and wonder if people don&#8217;t like us, because they go away from us when we are actually asking them to come closer. Also Western writing has a horizontal structure, proceeding from left to right. Oriental writing originally is vertically structured, starting from top to bottom and proceeding from right to left. So Western books open from left to right. But in the Orient we open a book from right to left. Thus Western civilization is more horizontally-based, while Oriental civilization is more vertical. As another example, shaking hands is a horizontal greeting, while bowing is vertical. In the Orient, there is a tradition that the ancestors are the core of the family system. But in the West there is no strong concept that considers the ancestors as the core. There is mostly a concept centered on the self.</p>
<p>Because everything is connected through the core, without the movement of the core, the whole entity does not move. Therefore, all the positions of one, two, three, four, five, six and seven, the central core, have equal value. Once they are divided, they comprise twelve segments. These twelve will fit wherever they are placed. Whatever the grandfather wants, the grandchild is not against. The children of the grandfather also want whatever their parents want. Ultimately all three generations become united in one desire. All of the elements &#8212; grandfather and grandmother, father and mother, husband and wife, son and daughter &#8212; resonate with the center. Let us look at the family, centering on love. Since the relationship between parents and children is one of unity, they are said to be one body. The relation between husband and wife is also said to be one body, as is the relation between brother and sister. In the family, all are one body. Centered on what are these relations called one body? They are one body centered on God&#8217;s True Love, which is the center of all love. Centered on True Love, parents and children become one, husband and wife become one, and brothers and sisters become one. Through this process, the value of each element becomes equal.</p>
<p>Then what did God want for His children? To become billionaires? To have more power than anyone else? What God wanted for His children, Adam and Eve, was for them to grow to become children of filial piety, loyal citizens, saints, and a Holy Son and Daughter. Did you ever consider that, in accordance with God&#8217;s desire, we should become children of filial piety in the family, loyal citizens of the nation, saints in the world, and Holy Sons and Daughters before Heaven and Earth? In history the saints and sages have taught that we should become children of filial piety, loyal citizens, saints, and Holy Sons and Daughters.</p>
<p>This evening do you think you have mastered the way of filial piety, loyalty, sainthood, and Holy Sonship which is needed to become an ideal human being and to complete the human personality? Without knowing this, you cannot perform the function of True Parents in the family. True Parents need to teach their children progressively to complete the way of the filial child, loyal citizen, saint, Holy Son or Daughter, and eventually even to reach God. If there is someone who truly teaches and exemplifies these things, then God will see that person as the ultimate True Parent, True Teacher and True Leader.</p>
<p>When you are qualified as True Parents and True Teacher, you also will be qualified as a True Leader; and furthermore you will be qualified to become a True King or Queen. Fallen man lacks this concept of filial piety, loyal citizenship, sainthood, and of becoming Holy Sons and Daughters. That is why this world is perishing. Who wants Holy Sons? God does. Who wants saints? The world does. Who wants loyal citizens? The nation does. Who wants children of filial piety? The family does. This is the way of truth.</p>
<p>The truth centering on love continues eternally in one direction. We did not know this, and that is why we could not be True Parents, True Citizens, True Saints, and Holy Sons and Daughters. When Jesus came to this world, there was no True Parents in the family, no True Leader in the nation and the world, and ultimately there was no True King in all of Heaven and Earth. People did not know how to follow the True Way. However, now you should know.</p>
<p>True Parents do not tell their children, &#8220;Once you become children of true filial piety, do not become loyal citizens.&#8221; True Parents should teach children of filial piety to sacrifice their family by following the way of a loyal citizen in service to the nation, and to sacrifice the nation to fulfill the way of saints in service to the world. And then parents should teach their children to sacrifice the world in service to Heaven and Earth, and to sacrifice Heaven and Earth to come to God.</p>
<p>To achieve this, individuals should sacrifice for the sake of the family. By sacrificing for the family, a person becomes a child of filial piety. To become a patriot, a person will sacrifice even their entire family to save the nation. That is the way to become patriots. To be a saint, you will sacrifice even the nation in service to the world. The Holy Son should establish the Heavenly Kingdom on Earth and in Heaven, even sacrificing the world. Therefore, among all parents, those who live more for the sake of their children are True Parents. Teachers who do more for the sake of their students are True Teachers, and the president who sacrifices more for the nation will be the True President. We did not know this concept of investing and sacrifice. But without it, we will never have one eternally peaceful and unified world.</p>
<p>What is the basis of individualism? One cannot claim anything as &#8220;mine alone.&#8221; When the child, through the love of its parents, grows from an egg in the mother&#8217;s womb and is born, 99.999 percent of its existence is from the mother&#8217;s bone, blood, and flesh, which was combined with the 0.001 percentage from the father&#8217;s sperm. There is no concept of &#8220;myself alone&#8221; in nature. Nobody had a concept of &#8220;myself&#8221; when they were born.</p>
<p>Anyone who considers that they are the best cannot say they became so by themselves, including Reverend Moon. Bone, blood and flesh are all received in the mother&#8217;s womb. We should recognize that the important parts of our body are the extension of our mother&#8217;s body. All the essential elements of our body were included in the egg and sperm. There is no exception. Therefore, there is no basis for self-centered individualism.</p>
<p>When we say the word &#8220;above,&#8221; that word automatically recognizes &#8220;below.&#8221; Can individualism stand only with the concept of &#8220;above&#8221; by itself? There is no way that a being can be only individual. Talking about the &#8220;right&#8221; side presupposes the existence of &#8220;left.&#8221; In the relation between front and back, &#8220;front&#8221; presupposes &#8220;back.&#8221; The word &#8220;man&#8221; also cannot exist by itself. It presupposes &#8220;woman.&#8221; This is not just the claim of any one person, but a cosmic fact.</p>
<p>Why was man created? Usually, men say that they can live by themselves alone, so they don&#8217;t care why they were created. But man was born for the sake of woman. Without woman, there is absolutely no need for man. Actually, nothing was created for man by himself or for woman by herself alone.</p>
<p>Look at our five senses. Were my eyes created to look at my eyes? Nose, ears, mouth, hands &#8212; all of them were created for the sake of the object. The force that mobilizes and focuses all five senses is True Love. Eyes, nose, ears, mouth, and hands were created for True Love as a tool for the use of True Love.</p>
<p>Nothing is created only for myself. On the contrary, a person who says that what belongs to others is &#8220;mine&#8221; is called a thief. When someone takes the things of others and uses them as his own, isn&#8217;t he a thief? Therefore any man who uses his five senses and his body as he wants for himself alone is a thief, since these exist for the sake of woman.</p>
<p>What is the difference between man and woman? Their bodies, including the sexual organs. Then to whom is man&#8217;s sexual organ absolutely necessary? Man&#8217;s sexual organ exists for the sake of woman. The human sexual organs are shaped as concave and convex. Why are they shaped that way? Both of them could be pointed or both could be flat. Why are they shaped differently? Each is for the sake of the other. Woman absolutely wants what is man&#8217;s. And man absolutely wants what is woman&#8217;s. Until now, we did not know the fact that, absolutely, woman&#8217;s sexual organ is man&#8217;s and man&#8217;s sexual organ is woman&#8217;s. By owning each other&#8217;s sexual organs man and woman come to know True Love.</p>
<p>Only through the experience of two becoming one can we know the highest level of love. No one can absolutely deny these facts. Everyone should recognize this. At the place where husband and wife become completely one, the ideal couple will be created. In that very place, absolute love exists. That place of love, which is absolutely unchanging, is the dwelling place of God.</p>
<p>Absolute Sex is centered on God, and free sex is centered on Satan. Historically, world literature and the media have often stimulated free sex. But from now on, you literary figures and journalists should lead the way to prevent free sex. Free sex should completely disappear.</p>
<p>Now that you have heard Reverend Moon&#8217;s speech, you can change your current position 180 degrees and become a new person, new nation, and new world.</p>
<p>Definitely you are being changed. It is an absolute necessity to change this evil world. This world must be transformed.</p>
<p>People in the evil world, including Satan, don&#8217;t like people on God&#8217;s side. Therefore everyone in the world has opposed Reverend Moon; even at the level of the nation and the world they opposed me. But because Reverend Moon belongs to God, God has protected me. Satan doesn&#8217;t like Reverend Moon; but God likes me. No matter how many times the world pushed Reverend Moon down or ignored me, I did not care. Reverend Moon never went down. Rather, he came up to the highest position. Therefore, now nobody can oppose me.</p>
<p>How could I establish this worldwide foundation even under all kinds of persecution? With what kind of power could Reverend Moon create these foundations to teach eminent world scholars and leaders? That was possible because God gave Reverend Moon a special kind of power. God has protected me and directed me, and even now God continuously protects and teaches me, so I am moving toward the way of success all the time.</p>
<p>Throughout history, there have been numerous religious leaders who could communicate with the spiritual world. You should know there is only one, Reverend Moon, who fully understood and unified the spiritual world and commenced work in this world. Since unifying the spiritual world, I received the Heavenly seal of recognition from God. Otherwise unification on the Earth cannot be done. You should know that in the same way that God has trained me and raised me in the spiritual world, He continuously leads me on the Earth.</p>
<p>For more than 20 years, since I came to the United States, I received enormous persecution. But I knew that God&#8217;s plan for Christianity has endured through bloody sacrifice for 2,000 years, ultimately settling in the United States. Therefore I could not give up on this country. Please consider, if America had accepted Reverend Moon even 40 years ago, how would this country be today?</p>
<p>Then from where does True Love begin? This is True Love: After you sacrifice your own life and are resurrected, you try to invest again, more than three times. Since we have inherited fallen lineage, even at the cost of our own lives we have to persevere and overcome. Therefore, &#8220;whoever seeks to gain his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will preserve it.&#8221; <em>(Luke 17:33)</em> Jesus followed this way when he came to this world. That is why he could lead the world, not by selfish individualism, but by altruism. Therefore, although I have created great wealth during my life, none of it, not even one penny, is mine. I invested everything for the world and then I forgot what I had done for others, and then I sacrificed and invested again. I repeated this process again and again.</p>
<p>Which do you prefer, &#8220;One Nation under God&#8221; or &#8220;One World under God?&#8221; Among Americans, some people do not like the concept of One World under God. Some white people do not like black people. White Anglo-Saxon Protestants occupy dominant positions in the United States. America, led by this group, should have the idea that this country exists for the sake of the world. If America lives only for its own sake, America will ultimately perish.</p>
<p>Now the times are changing. The coming time is the age of One World under God. God is working for this kind of world and will always help those people who also are working for that kind of providence. But there is a problem with many people wanting to lead the world but not wanting to participate in that providence.</p>
<p>In order to make one peaceful world, I have poured myself into various efforts. Let me give a few examples. We need to establish an ideal, world-wide academic institution like a U.N. University, transcending the barriers of race, religion and language, in order to complete the foundation for the future world. Also, to exchange knowledge globally, we need a university system for distance learning. We also need to develop a unified medical science. We need not only to cure the diseases of the body caused by the Fall, but also to end the conflict between Orient and Occident through harmonizing Eastern and Western culture. By uniting Eastern and Western medicine we can cure formerly incurable diseases, such as AIDS. In Korea, among the people of the countryside who never had formal medical education, there are many gifted healers who can cure serious diseases that are incurable through modern medicine. These healers have received teaching from the spiritual world about special treatments. Without recognizing certain realities of the spiritual world, problems will continue to grow.</p>
<p>Already these projects are being implemented at the University of Bridgeport and Sun Moon University. I have also created The Washington Times and other newspapers to cover the entire hemisphere, and I am expanding this media foundation into 185 countries to help all the people of the world learn from each other and cooperate as one. Since I came to America, I never had any debt to the American people. Rather, America should feel indebted to me. I shared the blessing I received from Heaven with America. I didn&#8217;t receive any blessing from America, but my entire blessing was given to her.</p>
<p>Regardless of the degree of opposition, the person who loves the most will become the owner. Those who love more, invest more, who give more and forget what they have given, will become central figures. This is cosmic law.</p>
<p>In the future, please follow the way that in the family you offer filial piety to your parents, become a loyal citizen before the nation, become a saint before the world, and become a Holy Son or Daughter before God. Whoever can stand without shame before the family, nation, world, and Heaven and Earth, will be protected in the center of the cosmos and can then realize a family that receives God&#8217;s highest love.</p>
<p>Such a person shall transform this world into the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth, being registered in the Kingdom of Heaven in the spiritual world and entering into an era of kingship both spiritually and physically centered on God. Such a person shall receive the International Ceremony of Holy Blessing, which is to establish a world of victory, freedom, happiness and unity. I invite each of you to participate in this year&#8217;s 3.6 million couple Blessing Ceremony, and so become a person welcomed by Heaven and Earth and find the way of eternal life.</p>
<p>Today literary leaders from all over the world are gathered together here. I hope the staff of The Washington Times and all the world literary leaders will become major figures to create a True Family and True World (cosmic) culture centered on God&#8217;s True Love, ushering in a world of peace and unification in the forthcoming 21st Century.</p>
<p>May God bless you, your family and all your endeavors. Thank you.</p>

<h2 align="center">REVEREND SUN MYUNG MOON</h2>
<h3 align="center">Belvedere International Training Center<br />
June 5, 1997<br />
Translator: Mr. Peter Kim</h3>
<p>Is there any non-Korean volunteer to read the title of Father&#8217;s message this morning? How about Japanese members? Can you read it? Then everyone repeat after me.<i> Man Mul Ui Nal [Man Mul Ui Nal]</i>This means the <i>Day of All Things</i>. And<i> Hwa Dong Ui Dui [Hwa Dong Ui Dui]. </i>Okay, one more time, <i>Man Mul Ui Nal Kwa [Man Mul Ui Nal Kwa] Hwa Dong Ui Dui [Hwa Dong Ui Dui]. </i>Okay, now you know the meaning of <i>Man Mul Ui Nal. Kwa </i>means <i>And. </i>What do you think <i>Hwa Dong </i>means? [Harmony] Harmony, that’s right. <i>Ui </i>means <i>Of</i>. <i>Dui </i>means what? You heard this word from Father a thousand times. Of course harmony, but it has some action in it, to make harmony. Dui means owner, literally owner. So what do you think it means? It means the initiator or starter of harmony. But the meaning is owner. <i>True Day of All Things and the Initiator of Harmony</i>. Do you understand the meaning? (Yes)</p>
<p>Those who want to have a rich and happy life show your hands to Father. (Laughter) Another try. If you are half-hearted in your response to happiness, then happiness will look at you and turn away. Suppose your loving spouse were to call you after a long separation, would you respond half-heartedly? (Laughter) No. You would instantly jump up and run to her. The qualification of leading a happy life is to always be smiling. What is the next stage of excitement from smiling? Singing, dancing, jumping and flying. Whatever causes excitement. Father asks you again, when you meet your loving spouse are you going to jump and run to your spouse or just sit still and say hello? (Laughter) You naturally want to give your spouse the strongest hug possible in greeting. Singing and dancing together in excitement. [Laughter]
<p>Everyone wants happiness, but in order to have a happy life your eyes should smile. There are some who always have smiling eyes. What about your nose. Is your nose smiling sometimes? (Laughter) Father has just witnessed that when this handsome gentleman sitting here was laughing, his nose was smiling also. (Laughter) Your eyes follow your mood. When you smile and laugh your eyes also smile. There are variations to each individual&#8217;s smile. Do your body and hands remain still when you are excited and happy? Do your hands tend to go up or down when you are happy? (Up) The reason why we tend to raise our hands is because we want to bring our ancestors and even God to our level and enjoy ourselves together.</p>
<p>When you desperately call your lover do you put your head up or down? (Up) All the way up so that your forehead becomes flat and God can come down and sit on it. Whilst you have God sitting on your forehead you will be able to dance with Him. It always requires balance. Imagine that God is now standing on your forehead and dancing with you. When you lift your left leg God has to balance His body which is now connected to your body. Therefore He has to lift His right leg. [Father demonstrates] (Laughter. Applause) If God were to stand still and demonstrate His dignity then there is no fun.</p>
<p>Do you think God has had a happy day? In the process of creation, God created all things first. Upon that foundation, God created our original ancestors, Adam and Eve. But because of their Fall, God lost everything. He lost His children and all things. Even though God has five senses, He has had no one to talk with, see with, smell with, hear with. God has been lonely all the time. Therefore, has God been happy or unhappy? (Unhappy) Those who believe in an unhappy God, are you unhappy people? That is why the religious believers have been walking the path of tears and suffering. Some people claim that the teaching of <i>Divine Principle</i> is excellent, but once they step inside they have to go through suffering. From God&#8217;s point of view, is this the correct course or the incorrect course for us to go the path of suffering and indemnity. (The correct course) Does that mean Reverend Moon is good or bad? (A good man)</p>
<p>Father has a tight schedule today and still he hasn&#8217;t really begun his message to you. Father feels sorry that he was thirty minutes late this morning. The reason for this was Father ate breakfast and took a nap. (Laughter) You are laughing so this means in reality you know what happened. So your laughter is telling Father that you understand and he need not be sorry. If some feel that Father is a bad time keeper they don&#8217;t understand what was going on. Father already called in that he would be a little bit late. (YES) [One member of the audience shouts] Only you heard, no one else? (Laughter)</p>
<h3 align="center">The differences between men and women</h3>
<p>Sitting as you are now, observe your body and look around. What do you see? (Brothers and sisters) The man looks at woman and the woman looks at man. Brothers see sisters wearing beautiful butterfly-like clothing. (Laughter) The sisters see the brothers wearing dark suits and looking handsome. The dark suits look like crows. Who is happier, man or woman? If we were to take brothers and sisters gathered here out to the slave markets, whom do you think would be chosen first? (Women) That means sisters may be sold but brothers will remain unsold. Then who is happier? Sisters may be prettier than the brothers, but on the other hand you get sold. The brothers may be uglier than the sisters, but they are lucky just the same. That is why throughout the world, regardless of east or west, women get sold to men, even through marriage.</p>
<p>Who is in the position of subject, husband or wife? (Husband) Especially you American women, answer which one is subject. You know clearly. (Men) Women. (Men) The meaning of &#8216;woman&#8217; is warning to men. (Laughter) [Father writes on the board] This &#8216;m&#8217; represents man and &#8216;w&#8217; represents woman. When they are placed together they are inseparable. Together they create a whole human being. But on this diagram which one is up? (Man) How about here? Which side is plus, up or down? (Up) Even within the English alphabet the &#8216;m&#8217; is on the top and &#8216;w&#8217; on the bottom. But some American women claim that women should be subject.</p>
<p>The concept and reality should become one. There should be no separation between them. Which is more precious, the visible or invisible world? (Invisible world) Based upon pragmatism there is no value in the unseen. In general America is enjoying material wealth. But because of this America is losing the concept of God. Therefore man is in the position of subject. If this is the formula, should the husband follow the wife or the wife follow the husband? (Woman should follow man) Who is in the position of subject? (Man) Is it easier to buy a woman or a man? (Woman) Father is showing you how women&#8217;s eyes move following the diamond necklace, ring and earrings. But men don&#8217;t care.</p>
<p>Some American women might believe that Reverend Moon always puts women down. They might come and sit here and listen to Father&#8217;s explanation and eventually change their attitude. They will come to realize that Father is not a woman basher, but rather he truly promotes women&#8217;s values. Don&#8217;t you think that will happen? (Yes) If there is fair competition in the Olympic Games, could a woman beat a man? (No) No matter how many competitions might exist within the Olympic Games, woman cannot win over man. Do you feel badly? (No) Even if you feel badly, there is no other choice. Because this is the truth. Even if we have an eating competition still women cannot eat more than men. Women usually eat one-third of what men eat. Usually is the husband taller than the wife? (Yes) If the wife is much taller than the husband that isn&#8217;t good. If she is too tall maybe crows and pigeons will come and nest in her hair. She will look like a telephone pole.</p>
<h3 align="center">American women have guts and are brave</h3>
<p>Before coming to America, Father heard that American women have guts and are brave. Therefore Father imagined that they must be taller than men. But when Father saw them he realized that they are smaller than men. Also in walking, a woman would have to take several steps to cover the distance a man does in one stride. If you have to cover several kilometers, man would probably have to take one hundred steps. Whereas a woman would have to take seven hundred steps. Who tires more easily? (Woman) Therefore who is pulling whom? (Wife is pulling on husband) You western women have guts. (Laughter) You answered clearly to Father which is very courageous. (Laughter)</p>
<p>Those of you who are gathered here in front of Father today, show your hands who believe that women are in the position of subject. Especially you American women. Someone may twist reality and claim that Reverend Moon is brainwashing all the women in order to sell them. For the last forty years people have been criticizing and labeling Father in such a bad way. But after forty years their accusations and criticism has just disappeared. Because they have become tired of it. After forty years of attacking the Unification Church and Reverend Moon they thought surely the Unification Church will have disappeared by now. Instead Father has established the Kingdom of God and is dancing there already. (Laughter) (Applause) All the accusers will realize that Father is on the top and dancing in the kingdom. How wonderful it is.</p>
<h3 align="center">We are indebted to the natural world</h3>
<p>Do you feel great? (Yes) If you don&#8217;t feel great Father will stop right here. (NO) No. KNOW. (Laughter) When we look around at the color of the carpet, your clothing, the ceiling and everything, where does it all come from? (God) [Father is writing on the board] All things. Today is the <i>Day of All Things</i>, God&#8217;s creation. What about your body, especially woman&#8217;s body that can even bear a child? Where does it come from? All things. What about your beautiful house, where does it come from? You are so proud of your machinery and equipment but where do they originate from? All things. What about your precious car? Everything originates from all things. Do we have anything to be really proud of? We are all indebted to all things. If we truly want to be proud of ourselves we need to pay our debts first. Even when we have breakfast, if we truly understand the reality, can we easily pick up our utensils and eat the food? Where does that food originate? What about all the meals you eat three times in a day. Do you think they are happy to be absorbed by you or are they crying? Therefore if we truly don&#8217;t understand the meaning of all things, we are like thieves and robbers.</p>
<p>What is the definition of a thief? Taking someone&#8217;s property and keeping it as your own. In other words whatever we consume comes from all things. But we fail to remember that fact and regard everything as our own. Therefore we may be regarded as thieves. Your eyes, nose, and mouth all originate from all things. Today is the thirty fifth Day of All Things. When we celebrate the thirty sixth Day of All Things we will have gone over the hill. Because the number thirty six is the multiplication of three times twelve. Thirty six and twelve can be divided by three. If you add three and six it makes nine. Actually nine is a satanic number. Because if you write the number nine quickly it looks like a snake or Satan. If you write nine with the mouth part open it means you are ready to take everything for free, like Satan takes everything. Therefore nine is Satan&#8217;s number. However, number ten represents one and zero which means God says okay vertically.</p>
<p>Originally Father didn&#8217;t intend to talk about these things. Do we have anything that truly belongs to us? (No) When a new baby is born it originated from the mother&#8217;s egg and the father&#8217;s sperm. The baby doesn&#8217;t have anything of its own. But love connects into one and conception occurs. We ourselves do not exist. I am nothing but the extension of my father and mother. My father who gave sperm and life and my mother who gave her egg in order to create me. I don&#8217;t have anything of my own. I can only be proud of my father and mother&#8217;s love and the sperm and egg I received from them. That is the origin of my life. That is why we cannot deny our father or mother. Neither can we deny our existence. Unless we become children of filial piety we cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven. All things have come through that stage. Therefore we should be able to love all things just as God does.</p>
<h3 align="center">What do you have to be proud of?</h3>
<p>In the animal world does extreme individualism exist? (No) Yes. (No) Yes. (NO) You know better than I do. Thank you. Do you understand Father? (Yes) Therefore, America has nothing to be proud of. Does this beautiful land, trees and grass belong to America or to God? (God) GOD. What is there for America to be proud of? If anyone thinks this wealth belongs to them, this creation belongs to them, they are thieves. Which means that they are doomed to lose. Now we understand the true meaning of the Day of All Things. When you look at Reverend Moon walking here, this is not really Reverend Moon. But rather it is a mass of all kinds of all things. It is like a tree stump and rock walking. Is that true? (Yes) I ask is that true? (YES) In Korean, yes means Jesus Christ. Because in Korean we say Yesu.</p>
<p>Is there anything we can truly be proud of? (No) Those of you with pretty faces may think you can be proud of that face and sell it? Such a sister is a thief not a true owner. If you want to say &#8216;beautiful woman&#8217; that doesn&#8217;t only refer to the face. But that woman should have everything in balance, pretty face, pretty feet and pretty well balanced hands. Also her hips and chest should be properly developed. If you truly want to label someone as a beautiful woman then you have to draw her as a naked model and conclude whether or not she is beautifully proportioned.</p>
<p>When you try to select a well ripened watermelon at the market, you cannot determine whether it is ripe, delicious and sweet or not simply by looking at the skin alone. Even when the shape is a little odd, if it is ripe inside then that is the water melon you want. Is this not true? (Yes) Usually when a woman has a pretty face she has defects some other place. Either her hips are too small or her feet or hands are too big. (Laughter) Something is not balanced. Therefore don&#8217;t marry any woman judging by her face alone. (Laughter) (Applause) Even if your wife is not so pretty, her heart might be well balanced. Therefore her entire appearance is well balanced. Then you can guarantee to have beautiful children. (Applause) That is true. In the morning when the wives apply their make-up, do they concentrate on their faces or go down to their feet? (Face) Suppose a woman applies make-up to her entire body every day. Then she will become a museum item. Because there has been no woman like that in history.</p>
<p>What if you are given the choice between a woman who covers her face with make-up or another woman who takes care of her entire body every day spending several hours? Which would you choose? If such a woman truly exists don&#8217;t you want to go and take a look at her? There are people who would even pay for that. Originally when the time comes for you to pick your spouse you should be able to look at your spouse naked and see how balanced he or she is.</p>
<h3 align="center">Skin color is an adaptation<br />
to the environment</h3>
<p>Originally the white race who have deep blue eyes, brown hair and high noses originate in the North Pole. Your ancestors came from the Arctic area, the North Pole, always surrounded by white snow. They longed for blue colored water. In biology classes at school didn&#8217;t you learn that animals can adjust their skin color to their environment? By the same token the white race came about through this environment.</p>
<p>While in South America recently, Father caught a fish called <i>baku</i>. While catching that fish the color of the skin of that particular fish was more yellowish whilst in the water. But as soon as the fish was brought out of the water it turned black. Why? The fish itself tried to protect itself. Even low level fish are able to do that. Therefore, human beings can adapt to their environment. Therefore the white race who originate from the Arctic area have nothing to be proud of. You should go back to the Arctic. (Laughter) That is true.</p>
<p>If you are in the North Pole certainly you cannot do farming. The weather conditions would not allow for it. What else can you do? You simply have to hunt whatever you can in order to survive. Those hunters who always go after blood may kill each other in order to take the animals that have been killed. White people have a long high nose with narrow nostrils. The reason for this is that the air can warm up whilst traveling up through your nostrils. Whereas people living in the tropics have short noses and wide open nostrils. This is the correct explanation by Reverend Moon. I only speak the truth. Amen. (Amen)</p>
<h3 align="center">The white race of hunters enslaved<br />
their black brothers and sisters</h3>
<p>In human history the people from the Arctic region stayed around Scandinavia. When they ran out of food then moved down towards England and Ireland and became pirates. England was a place where pirates went and hid their treasures. They were a strong nation of hunters. Eventually Great Britain had the strongest empire upon which they claimed the sun would never set.</p>
<p>These white people went to Africa and sold their black brothers and sisters into slavery. They colonized those countries and killed thousands of innocent people. But the world is not the world of the white race is it? (No) When the sun sets it goes down. History proves that the time of white domination of other races has ended. Why is it in general that the white race doesn&#8217;t like the black race? Historically speaking, due to the brutality of the white race the relationship between black and white people has become that of enemies. The historical facts demonstrate that the white race did not do so much good for the sake of the black race. America is like a battlefield between the white and black races to a certain degree. Isn&#8217;t that true? (Yes)</p>
<p>Asians have round flat noses and wide faces. They look like a rice paddy. (Laughter) The round nose indicates they want to become rich. (Laughter) If your face is round and big and your nose is small and flat it will be like a soccer field. (Laughter) The culture of Asian people stems from farming. When there is not enough rain farmers stand and look up towards heaven or they sit down and pray for rain. They are ever hanging onto God&#8217;s grace. That is why the major religions all came out from the Orient. Four great saints are from the Orient.</p>
<h3 align="center">The oriental race will mediate<br />
between white and black</h3>
<p>Black race always go after the tropical fruits from their region. The white race from the Arctic region always hunt and kill animals. The oriental race are always farming and waiting for God&#8217;s grace. Amongst these three categories which one tends to have more desire to reach towards God and receive His grace? (The orientals) That is why the saints came out from the Orient. If the battle between white and black brothers and sisters still exists in the world today, who is going to be the mediator between them? These mediators should come from God-loving people. The first Messiah came from the orient. Also the Lord of the Second Advent will come out of the oriental race. Amen. (Applause) Some people may say that Father is promoting himself through this. Father is very famous in this country of America. But is Father famous in a good or a bad sense? Who in fact is good and who is bad between America and Father? (Father is good) Who won the battle between America and Reverend Moon? (Reverend Moon)</p>
<p>It is said that whoever comes to America becomes assimilated within five years. The famous term &#8220;melting pot&#8221; is always used to describe America. However, Reverend Moon came to America over twenty five years ago but he has not become Americanized at all. Rather he has caused America to become Moonized. Day by day the size of Reverend Moon&#8217;s followers will grow rapidly. (Amen) (Applause) [Father writes on the board] Amen means number one man. We seem to have been laughing away our first hour or so here.</p>
<h3 align="center">Humans stand in the position of initiator of<br />
harmony between God and all things</h3>
<p>Human beings stand in the position of initiator of harmony between God and all things. There should be cause and effect. How can we move this? We need a center. The right hand reaches God and the left hand holds onto all things. You spin around and all of heaven and earth will spin together. As long as you keep your grip upon God and all things, God&#8217;s eye and all things will move around together with you in the same direction as your eyes. If you truly revolve around in this way God will want to spin around one million times per hour with you. Even if you spin around with God one million times per hour, do you think the axis should be turned around or there should be one center point that you spin around? When anything spins fast it gets uplifted and flies away. Therefore you need a strong anchor.</p>
<p>When you show your hand to indicate your desire for something do you show your right or left hand? (Right hand) Right hand. Make sure to keep this kind of balance. Stay with God and keep a grip on all things. This is the way you can keep your balance and turn around together. It is natural for everyone to be right handed. Those who are left handed show your hand to Father. If you were in Asia you would have a difficult time to marry. Try to correct it. Even when you write try to change to the right hand. There is a common understanding in Asia that the woman stands on the left hand side of her husband. The Asians learn the beauty of combination through mastering the use of chopsticks. Even your five senses have the subject and object relationship built in. Why? Because the entire universe exists in this way.</p>
<p>The structure of the Korean language has this reciprocal subject and object relationship built into it. When we try to explain a person&#8217;s gait we say <i>wi chim wi chim</i>. We say it twice in a more balanced way by repeating the word. Also in English when we want to indicate a person&#8217;s pace or speed we can say, slowly, slowly. Rather than just slowly. It makes a reciprocal balanced relationship. In Korean we say <i>bali, bali</i>. All of this indicates the Oriental philosophy and way of thinking. Therefore Asia is the place where such philosophy and spiritual teaching usually comes from. Reverend Moon came from Korea, which is part of Asia. (Mansei) Who did <i>mansei</i>? Do you like Reverend Moon? (Yes) How long did it take for you to like Reverend Moon, just one day, or a month or several years? [One day] [Laughter].</p>
<p>For twenty or thirty years before coming to this country Father was praying for and loving this country America. He has been investing himself for the sake of this country. What about you? Have you thought about Reverend Moon in this way. You are sitting in front of Reverend Moon on this particular day. However, some day maybe one-third of you might disappear. [No] Please remember that on this Day of All Things that we are indebted to all things. Even one strand of your hair is indebted to all things. Nothing is our own. We are in debt to all things for everything. Therefore we should be able to say to the world that the extension of myself is everything on this earth. The soil, the trees, the mountains etc. In this way we should be able to demonstrate our appreciation to the world. By doing so we should come to the realization that all things of creation are sacrificing every ounce of themselves in order to support and maintain my life. How then can I repay my debt?</p>
<h3 align="center">All things are waiting to meet the owner who<br />
can love them as God loves them</h3>
<p>We can label human beings as the ones who have killed the most animals in human history. How then can we eliminate this debt? Are we good or evil beings? Evil beings. (Evil beings) When you shout out like that all forty billion cells of your body all nodded in agreement. How can we be forgiven? By offering our love to all things. Because if we truly understand the reality, the entire universe is more precious than our own children. More precious than anything else. All things are waiting to meet the owner who can love them as God loves them. They are longing for that true owner who can care and love them like God and True Parents. Because all things want to be treated with appreciation by the true children of God. Once we reach that level all things will be happy to be absorbed by human beings.</p>
<p>The purpose of the existence of all things is to be absorbed by the owner of true love in this world. When they are taken and absorbed by this true love owner they will be happy and look forward to that. The cells of the mineral kingdom are absorbed by plants. The cells and elements of plants are absorbed by animals and eventually animals are there to be taken and absorbed by human beings. [Father draws a diagram on the board] What do they look like? Man and woman. Where do you think all the cells and minerals from the mineral, plant and animal kingdom go to? What part of the human body absorbs them? What is the final destination that all things desires? [Sexual organ] That is true. Human sexual organs is what God poured most effort into. Isn&#8217;t this true? Some may still think that as the founder of the Unification Church Father should not refer to the sexual organ in public. (Laughter) Ordinarily Christian ministers don&#8217;t refer to sexual organs in their sermon.</p>
<h3 align="center">God created human sexual organs to be<br />
a most holy sacred place</h3>
<p>God created human sexual organs to be a most holy place, a sacred place, not what it has become since the Fall of Adam. Do you understand? It is supposed to be a holy palace. Love palace refers to the sexual organ in God&#8217;s original plan. This is the truth. All the cells from the mineral, plant and animal kingdom all want to eventually arrive at human beings sexual organ and be apart of it. But they cannot travel directly there. Therefore, minerals have to be absorbed by plants, plants by animals and animals by man. In this way they can eventually reach their destination. Under the universal law of existence the higher level of creation absorbs the lower levels of creation. Charles Darwin&#8217;s evolution theory states that the strong eat the weak. According to Darwin&#8217;s evolution theory we are the worst people. But it is actually not so. It is a natural universal law. If we take Darwin&#8217;s evolution theory literally then God is the worst kind of being. Because God planned creation in a certain way. When love is involved there is no evil. Even mother birds sacrifice their own lives for the sake of their babies. How about you American mothers? (Yes Father) Sound is good. However, your content is not so good.</p>
<h3 align="center">A promiscuous woman may<br />
hate the father of her child</h3>
<p>In our world today, many teenage mothers abandon their newborn babies in garbage cans. That is even worse than animals. The practice of free sex is absolutely not acceptable. If people practice free sex, it means a woman might bear a child from a man whom she hates. Consequently she throws that child away. They do not take responsibility for their actions. Do you understand? All things are awaiting your appreciation and your love. When you relate with all things in your daily lives, you should feel in your heart, this is what is providing everything for my husband, my children and myself. Then express that deep appreciation. That kind of love is what all things are longing to receive. If we truly reach that level in dealing with all things, then you will feel like dividing one third of food you have and share it with all things again. If you truly have that kind of heart you will never become sick. The universe will protect you. You will live a healthy life.</p>
<p>Is Father always healthy? (Yes) One time at the age of eight years Father had to lay down because of sickness. But since that time he never got sick. (Applause) Father&#8217;s heart is always the same. When he first stepped onto America soil Father declared to the universe he loved America more than anyone else ever has. The person who loves the most will become the true owner. Since Reverend Moon offers everything and loves America more than anyone else in human history, automatically those who oppose Father without knowing that reality will eventually surrender.</p>
<h3 align="center">Whoever offers more love will<br />
become the final winner.</h3>
<p>Whoever offers more love will become the final winner. The ones who offer more love resemble God. Therefore God will protect them and make those people victors and owners. (Applause) Those of you who love Reverend Moon raise your hands. Have you been bribed? (No)</p>
<p>Father often invites world level dignitaries for various activities. Then Father is criticized and accused of bribing them to come. But in reality they come and contribute. (Applause) We need to truly hang onto God and place a grip on all things and make a perfect circular movement. Then we need to become the harmonizing point between husband and wife, parents and children, heaven and earth and truly become the initiators of harmony. That is how the Kingdom of God on Earth will be built. On this <i>Day of All Things </i>we can know that all things are truly waiting for true love, and the true center of harmony. Amen. (Amen) This doesn&#8217;t mean you have to go to Argentina and buy a farm and raise cattle. You can simply buy a pet dog or cat and share your love with them. If you have one animal at home you should feel that it represents many species of animals. [Father draws on the board] What is this, a goat or a dog? (Laughter)</p>
<p>Just as there are three stages of growth, keep three animals at home. Whatever kind of animal. [Father continues to draw on the board] Even this lady bug Father draws could be your pet. One way of taking care of them and sharing your love for them is whenever you prepare a meal for your children, take a portion of it and share it with your animals. Then they will really happily grow. By doing so practically, realistically you will develop your own concept of sharing love with them while sharing love with your own children. Pay more attention to your pet animal. By sharing your love with one lady bug, this one bug represents the entire insect kingdom. If you have your own pet lady bug at home on a cool fall night when the moon is high and bright millions of insects will come around and create this natural insect orchestra. How beautiful! If truly these insects come together to create a natural orchestra you can control their tone through using a small stick to beat and create a rhythm. If it is high pitched then follow that pitch. If it is low pitched do the same. How wonderful and happy that situation would be.</p>
<h3 align="center">The birds, frogs and insects make<br />
a wonderful orchestra</h3>
<p>Father came to realize that the frogs on the South American continent create such a wonderful orchestra. Father is accustomed to the singing of frogs in Korea. However, there is no comparison. In South America there are scores of different species of frogs and they create all different melodies. Father takes off his shoe and together with this frog orchestra he keeps time with their beat. (Laughter) That is true. It was so wonderful. You don&#8217;t get tired of Father&#8217;s sermon do you? (No) If you truly have enjoyed this, even if we construct a metal door to keep you out you would somehow get in. Do you follow Father? (Yes)</p>
<p>In South America Father goes out fishing and sits on a small stool for twelve hours sometimes. Sitting still by the riverside, If he makes too much noise the fish will swim away. Therefore, Father has to sit quietly doing nothing staring at the water and the fishing pole. Then from the trees and bushes around one bird begins to chirp. Then gradually as time passes these birds attract other birds. Then they become ten and sometimes hundreds and they begin singing together. That is really beautiful. You will never know how sweet it is.</p>
<p>The bird orchestra is truly more interesting than fishing. (Laughter) Certain birds&#8217; song isn&#8217;t necessarily pleasant. They sound as if they are shouting. That is the way that particular bird calls its lover and children. Therefore one should be able to enjoy it also. When Father is communicating with nature to that degree do you think Father feels tired? Sometimes Father will experiment by shouting out loud. Then immediately all the hundreds of birds stops singing. (Laughter) After a few minutes one courageous bird begins chirping again and they all follow. (Laughter)</p>
<p>People become tired sitting hour upon hour. But these birds never seem to tire of singing together. Why not? Because their song is the song of love. They are dancing by flying from one branch to another. They always move and demonstrate to one another. If the female bird flies and the male doesn&#8217;t follow she will chirp as if to say, &#8220;come on, what are you doing?&#8221; (Laughter) Then the male bird follows her. Father learned a lesson from that give and take with nature. If anyone can truly communicate with nature and enjoy this give and take, such people will never consider divorce. (Applause) Because if you truly observe nature you will realize the pair system.</p>
<p>Give and take between pairs is always in operation in nature. Even between flies when the male and female sit together and there is one portion of food, the male fly always indicates to the female to take it. (Laughter) Unless you have the experience of prison life you will never understand what Father is going to say now. But when flies are buzzing around you can attract them by placing your saliva on your finger and offer it. Usually one fly lands and tastes the human saliva. Then another partner will come and enjoy together. Then immediately you can close your fingers and catch two flies at one time. (Laughter)</p>
<p>Because you have nothing to do in the prison, once you catch these two flies you cut off one piece of their wings so they cannot fly away. Then set them free, they crawl around the floor but always together in a pair. If you feed them they will remain with you making a friendship. This is true. In reality in the world human beings are worst than animals. Therefore is this Day of All Things which we celebrate here as the Family Federation for World Peace a good or bad day? (Good day) Amen. Amen. Amen. That is the sound which all the animals and plants who have lived and died and those which will come into existence in the future long to hear. Wherever Reverend Moon goes this heavenly fate and fortune goes with him. Therefore, don&#8217;t we feel empty whenever Father leaves from America? (Yes)</p>
<h3 align="center">Brothers and sisters long for True Father</h3>
<p>Whenever Father remains in America the Korean brothers and sisters are praying every night in a prayer vigil and counting the days. As soon as Father arrives they are so happy. Also in South America brothers and sisters who are a thousand miles away try their best to come to see Father. People who don&#8217;t understand the<i> Divine Principle </i>might feel that their husbands are normal and doing well. Their children are growing well so why are they attracted by Reverend Moon. That is why they misunderstand Father through this. According to the Christian tradition it is normal for the pastor to give a sermon for less than one hour. But here today Father has been speaking for more than two hours so far. In the outside world, if you became bored you would find an excuse to get out. But here, even though you need the bathroom you try to hold it because Father is sharing with you giving out so much power and energy. That is why you are considered crazy. Do you truly like Father? (YES) Father is asking the brothers this question. Because if all of you sisters respond then True Mother might feel sad. (Laughter) But of course Mother will be only happy to hear that you all love Father. That is why Father loves her. (Amen) (Applause) Just like God, whatever I do, wherever I look I offer my love so my life is totally centered upon the give and take relationship of love. This is my life. Amen. (Applause) The original palace of Amen is the Kingdom of God in Heaven. That is our destination. Amen. (Amen) From there we can inherit everything from God. AMEN. (AMEN)</p>
<p>Please join me in prayer.</p>

<h3 align="CENTER">May 4, 1997<br />
Belvedere International Training Center<br />
Translator &#8211; Peter Kim</h3>
<p>Father wants a volunteer to read this morning&#8217;s title: <i>Chonjoo Pyung Hwa Kajong Yonhap.</i> <i>Cheonjoo</i> stands for cosmos or world; <i>pyunghwa</i> means peace; <i>tongil</i> I don&#8217;t need to interpret this one and <i>gajeong-yunhap</i> means Family Federation, so Family Federation for World or Cosmic Peace and Unification. And also <i>Chookbok-gajung segyehwa sheedeh. Chookbok-gajung</i> means Blessed Family, <i>sheedae</i> means period or era, <i>segye-hwa</i> means becoming world age, or world era. So, this title means World Era for Blessed Families. This is our title today.</p>
<p>Even if you establish a couple, if you do not produce children then you have not formed a Blessed family. Therefore, it is important that we understand the term &#8220;Blessed family,&#8221; not just Blessed couple. In a family there should be grandparents, parents, children and grandchildren.</p>
<p>Ordinarily, secular people do not have an understanding of &#8220;cosmos.&#8221; This is like our own unique term. The cosmos includes the Kingdom of God on Earth and in Heaven, both worlds. It means the unification of these two worlds. Since people do not understand the term cosmos Father uses the word <i>segye</i> or world. Internally we should understand the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification to mean the Family Federation for Cosmic Peace and Unification, the Cosmic Era of Blessed Families. This particular title has recently been given to you. The Family Federation for Cosmic Peace and Unification includes within it the meaning of the entire Unification Church down to the individual. The individual is included here, unification is included here and the church is included here. Centering upon the individual, what is the subject? (The mind.) When you have to apply yourself as an individual to this particular title, where do you belong? Cosmos? Peace? Unification? or Family Federation? Where? (Family.) &#8220;I&#8221; can be interpreted as the representative of the whole. Therefore, I can say that I represent the entire cosmos; I represent unification; I represent family federation; I represent the cosmic era. I represent the movement of the Blessed family as an individual. In terms of value, they are equal. Subject and object, plus and minus relationship is of equal value.</p>
<h3 align="CENTER">&#8220;I&#8221; represent the whole</h3>
<p>&#8220;I&#8221; can represent the cosmos, peace, unification and even God, and the Kingdom of Heaven on the Earth as well as in Heaven. Do you follow? What about your eyes? This eye may represent me. Even your nose can represent you. Your ear, mouth, hand, foot and even a small cell in your arm can represent you, a human being as a whole. Man&#8217;s sexual organ can represent all men. You can represent the universe. In love, what is it that comes together in order to create love? (Male and female sexual organs.) Man as a big plus and woman as a big minus [Father draws a diagram on the board]. This is the meeting point between husband and wife as a small plus and a small minus. This is big, as a whole man (a big plus); as a whole woman (a big minus) [indicating to the diagram], but when they make love, the small plus and small minus come together and become one. In this you have your limbs and billions of cells. But here [indicating to the board] this is smaller. This particular organ represents all the cells and organs of yourself. When you make love don&#8217;t you think that the cells in your body become active? (Yes.) Everything in your body works toward one goal. That is what we call unification. That is where plus and minus combine together and peace is created. As a whole, when this phenomena occurs, the base for a family is established. The extension of this is the world which we refer to as man&#8217;s world and woman&#8217;s world. It extends further to the cosmic level. [Father continues to draw on the board] This is the very beginning point to build the Kingdom of God on Earth. That is why love is so precious.</p>
<p>Please remember that there is only one vertical line. There is just one central point, never two. The horizontal and vertical lines should be perpendicular. Centering on that central point, if this vertical and horizontal line begin to move around in a circular motion, then the entire universe will begin to revolve. In that center, we can find God, as well as the family of God; family of nation, family of world, family of the cosmos. That center represents everything that we can imagine. We should understand this concept clearly. No matter how small a woman may be, she should have confidence that she is the representative of the entire female world. The same is true for men. You can even think that you represent your grandmother and all your ancestors. As a woman, you represent all the mothers who went before you as well as all the wives in your time period. You should also think that you, as a woman, represent all the elder and younger sisters in the world. Any woman has a lineage. If we were able to pull her lineage out from her, don&#8217;t you think that all the female ancestors would be pulled out? Stretching like a rubber band, they are not disconnected, but rather part of the same line. In our mind, we should desire to become the representative of the entire humanity and entire world. We should desire to become a queen of queens, grandmother, mother, wife, daughter, sister, the representative of all female figures.</p>
<p>You ugly men have the same feeling, don&#8217;t you? If Father were to pull your lineage line out like a rubber band, then your father, grandfather, great grandfather, all the way back to Adam would be pulled out also.</p>
<p>You are the representatives of all the male and female figures throughout history. If God comes down here and sees what is happening, do you think that He would be happy to see only one tribal lineage or the lineage all the way back to Adam and Eve? (All the way back.) If you want to provide the road upon which God will travel, would you like to offer your lineage zigzagging all the way to Adam, or a straight super highway lineage back to Adam? (straight super highway.) If you want to do that, then you have to make sure that you become a good enough representative so that your entire ancestry will support you in one line! You should not live your life in a zigzag fashion. Once you build this super highway it should be straight and wide all the way to the end. It should not be both wide and narrow. Because of the fall of man, this road is sometimes upside down and really narrow in places so that one cannot pass.</p>
<h3 align="CENTER">The concept of &#8220;individual truth body&#8221;</h3>
<p>Within our teaching we use the term &#8220;individual truth body.&#8221; Within our body there are over forty billion cells. If each of these forty billion cells individually insists on being the best one and insists on doing whatever it wishes, can we exist as a human being? (No.) If the cells in your eyes and nose or ears and mouth begin to insist that each is better than the other, or insist on their own way, we would have trouble. If all forty billion cells claim to be the best then where can you find that kind of cell? Love organ cell. Repeat after me, love organ cell. (Love organ cell.) Wow! People might claim the Unification Church to be heretical because Reverend Moon often speaks about sexual organs, but in reality, we are not heretics. Do you feel this is real? (Yes.) If you truly understand and believe in my message, don&#8217;t you think that the cells in your sexual organ will give a loud &#8220;mansei&#8221;? Or will they feel ashamed? (MANSEI!) Even among the sexual organ cells there are plus and minus sexual organ cells. Which one is the mainstream cell among them? (Plus.) If there are only plus cells then there would be no continuation. [Laughter] The plus cells in your sexual organ should be able to say, well my representative is the minus cell. Likewise, the minus cells should claim the plus cells as their representative.</p>
<p>In other words, the plus cells in your sexual organ should claim that they are living for the minus cells; that it is their ultimate goal to meet with the minus cells. The minus cells should claim the same thing toward the plus cells. Once the plus and minus cells come together and become totally one, then as a combined being they will explode like a rocket. They become so powerful because they want to occupy the love center, which is God. The power of love is like that. With regard to the representative cells, do you think that two minus cells would come to be united with one plus cell or would there be only one partner? (Only one.) Yes, only one plus and one minus, not two. One partner means an absolute, unchanging being. Love concept has that kind of content.</p>
<p>Even this cosmic era of the blessed family concept includes all the explanations which I have just given to you. Also, the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification is included here. Now Father wants to pose a question to you. Up until this point, have we been seeking this one to one cell love life, such as the one plus and one minus sexual organ cells have? Or have we deviated and entertained different thoughts? Which is it, all the way straight or not? Our way must be the one way and the highway course; only one cell to one cell. Suppose there is one plus cell and ten minus cells appear, will you welcome them or reject them? (Reject.) Among all of these billions of cells within our sexual organ, there should be a king figure plus cell and queen figure minus cell truly centered upon God. But has our life really been supporting, strengthening and widening this super highway or have we deviated and held back? This is the question we need to ask ourselves. Suppose there is one plus king cell and ten minus queen cells appear. As only one, you cannot deal with them. In order to deal with them, you would have to have ten sets of eyes, ten sets of ears, ten noses. It is too complicated. Absolute unification can never occur under these circumstances. Do you understand?</p>
<p>Blessed couples, show your hands to Father. Amazingly everybody! Have you Blessed couples been living your lives up to the standard, this king and queen cell standard? Or have you lived your lives like shrimps caught in a shrimp net, helpless and unable to do anything? What kind of life experiences have you had up until this point? Do you understand what I am trying to say? This net, a woman&#8217;s net, exists in order to catch a man. There is also a man&#8217;s net which exists to catch a woman. You end up like shrimp caught in the fishing net. I will elaborate upon my question to you a little more. Have you been caught in one of these nets and had your activities limited because of this? Or have you been totally free from these nets and lived your lives as king and queen cells, becoming united and exploding like thunder and lightning or shooting like a rocket? What kind of life have you lived up until this point? The life of the fish net or the life of the rocket? (Rocket.) If you pull the shrimp net up, there are usually many dead shrimp found in it. Some are alive, but are weak. Similarly, how miserable people are in the world because of these nets. Even though this handsome gentleman&#8217;s hair is very ugly [indicating to a member of the audience], still his hair desires to live a king and queen cell life. Don&#8217;t you think that the hair would think that way? (Yes.)</p>
<h3 align="CENTER">How you use your sexual organs<br />
divides Heaven from Hell</h3>
<p>If all the forty billion cells in your body were to complain against you, what would be your destination, Heaven or Hell? (Hell.) The bottom of Hell. Do you feel this is real? The dividing line between Heaven and Hell is within the sexual organ. The sexual organ is the most fearful and also the most precious place. If you follow the king and queen cell road then that will lead to the most precious place. Do you want to find the most fearful or the most precious place? (Precious.) Those who are willing to follow this most precious way, the king and queen cell way of life, show your hands to Father. The world around us is filled with free sex advocates. Do we find anyone like you out in the secular world? (No.) Do you have confidence in that? (Yes.) Thumb up or thumb down? (Thumb up.) Up until this point there may have been some zig-zag lines caused by wrong doings in the past. But from this time on, since I proclaimed the Cosmic Era of Blessed Families, we have to straighten everything out.</p>
<p>What is the meaning of True Father? What does it mean to you? True Father means that all the cells are true king cells, the true king cells which represent all the hundreds of billions of cells. What about True Mother? True Mother means the true queen cells which represent all the existing cells. True Father represents plus and True Mother represents minus. Don&#8217;t you think that they should have the same direction when they unite? (Yes.) [Father draws on the board] This upper section represents plus and minus centered upon God. The lower section represents plus and minus centered upon True Father and True Mother. When it begins to make a circular movement, it should be centered upon the central meeting point of the vertical and horizontal lines. This is the central point where all the billions and billions of cells become united representing the individual, family, society, nation and world. But if we cut this right hand side in half with the vertical line [indicating to the board], it represents the big plus and the other side the big minus. Once this big plus and minus combine into one, the entire being becomes united. Therefore the circular movement occurs.</p>
<p>When it comes to the meaning of True Parents, we have to trace all the way back to the one cell level. The king plus cell and queen minus cell must become absolutely one. Then from that point on as an individual, and a couple, True Parents should win the victory at each level, the cellular level, individual level, couple level, family level, national level, world level, and eventually totally one with God. That is why it is a prerequisite to establishing our blessed family in order to build the Kingdom of God. Even True Parents have to build the ideal family first. Even if your body takes a certain direction for a particular purpose, your mind knows what is happening. If it is a wrong direction, your mind may say, &#8220;you, eyes, why do you look in that direction? You, nose, why do you smell in that direction?&#8221; Your mind knows what they are looking and smelling for. Is this not true? (Yes.) Answer clearly? (YES, IT IS TRUE.) I have heard you.</p>
<h3 align="CENTER">Each family is like one cell<br />
in the body of humanity</h3>
<p>Since you clearly declared that you have understood, then I have the right to erase this from the board. When it comes to completion, I am referring to world level completion and even cosmic level completion. Centering upon what? Centering upon family. Because even the Family Federation is centered upon the family. What kind of family? Whose family? (God&#8217;s family.) My family. Your family. If there is even one cell among the forty million cells of a blessed couple that is complaining and demonstrating against you, then you cannot build the original family. At the cosmic level, each family is like one cell representing our body. This means that each family represents all the cosmic families. In your family life, the minds of your family members know which direction is right. If your family is heading in the wrong direction, the minds of your family members should know. If the father and mother are doing something wrong, then the children and other family members should know about it. If the elder brother is doing something wrong, then even the younger brother would know that. Then how can we take care of these problems? Because there is room for these problems to exist, God has given this kind of model: Absolute Faith, Absolute Love, and Absolute Obedience. This should be our daily motto. Our entire family should live centered upon this motto because this is the road that the Family Federation for Cosmic Peace and Unification and the Cosmic Era of Blessed Families are on.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t you think that God has cells? At the time of creation, don&#8217;t you think that God had cells? God wanted His creation to become totally united. Therefore He made certain that He created upon the foundation of absolute faith, love and obedience. That was God&#8217;s aim and target. Everything was focused upon that goal. That was the first concept. [Father writes on the board] The substantial creation is in the position of minus. God&#8217;s focus, His mental unity was in the position of plus. This was displayed in His creation from the mineral kingdom, plant kingdom, animal kingdom and humanity. We can find plus and minus relationships within all of these kingdoms. Since God created on the basis of absolute faith, love and obedience, our life must be centered upon this standard also. As plus and minus, we should uphold the absolute standard. Also, in the relationship between the spiritual and physical worlds, this absolute standard of plus and minus should be there.</p>
<p>The vertical oneness between the spiritual and physical worlds should be manifested in a horizontal way within ourselves. Then we can see plus and minus in a vertical way, and plus and minus in a horizontal way. These two relationships meet at the core center. In this center we can find God, Adam, Eve and the entire creation. Do you understand? Therefore, in order to solve the possible problems that might occur, God gave us this daily motto of absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience. Without strictly following this commandment, our lives will become more complicated. This is why God gave His commandment to Adam and Eve not to eat of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil.</p>
<h3 align="CENTER">God was to dwell in Adam<br />
and have Eve as His bride</h3>
<p>What does the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil mean? What is it? (Love organ.) Whose organ is it? Woman&#8217;s sexual organ. Good or evil fruit is dependent upon your partner when it comes to woman. If you have a relationship with the boss of the mafia then you will produce the son of the mafia. If you have a relationship with your king, then you will produce a prince. That is why God told Adam and Eve not to eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil (woman&#8217;s sexual organ). How many male figures existed in the Garden of Eden in the beginning? (Five) God, Adam, and three archangels. How many female figures were there? (One.) This was the problem. Originally God and Adam were to become totally united into one. Then Adam was to become one with Eve, the female figure. But instead, Eve became one with one of the archangel figures.</p>
<p>God wanted to take Eve as His bride once she grew and matured enough. But then God also realized that there were four other male figures besides Himself. Therefore, isn&#8217;t it natural for God to give the warning to Adam and Eve not to eat the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil? (Yes.) What was it then? That particular fruit meant woman&#8217;s sexual organ. What kind of warning or commandment did God intend to give? Do you think that God would pay attention to a literal fruit in the Garden of Eden or to Eve&#8217;s sexual organ? (Eve&#8217;s sexual organ.) I don&#8217;t know, you know way more than me! (Laughter)</p>
<p>In the secular world, usually inventions are created by one person and then utilized by others. For example, Great Britain came up with many different inventions but Germany took them and utilized them more than England did. Whoever utilizes and materializes something usually becomes the owner. Even though I may invent something, if you truly take this invention and utilize it more fully than I do, then you can become the owner. Don&#8217;t you want to see your children become greater than yourself? (Yes.) Yes, every parent feels this way.</p>
<p>The five male figures in the Garden of Eden all paid attention to one particular woman. Therefore, a literal fruit has no place in this story. Even when it comes to Adam, he had to wait until that fruit became ripe. If he should take that fruit before it is ripened that fruit would rot. Therefore, Adam had to wait until God gave him permission to take that fruit. That means that when the fruit of good and evil ripened, God would then enter Adam and dwell within him, becoming totally one, and then take that ripened fruit. That was God&#8217;s desire. As a big plus, God wanted to meet a big minus and build a relationship of marriage with a big minus as a big plus. Don&#8217;t you think that God wanted to have this kind of vertical and horizontal explosion through taking His bride in a love relationship? Once that kind of explosion took place in Adam&#8217;s mind and heart, it would go around in all directions centered upon God. Would that kind of explosion zigzag or would it explode centered upon God and Adam?</p>
<p>Because absolute settlement should be one vertical settlement, it cannot be swayed. It is centered upon one dot [indicating to the diagram Father just drew on the board]. Without establishing this absolute vertical settlement, there will always be the complications of zigzagging and swaying in different directions. Without this absolute settlement there is room for free sex. Also incest will occur between grandparents and grandchildren and even mother and son. Far too many complications would occur without this absolute settlement. There is a loss of direction and we see this zigzagging complicated phenomena taking place in America today. Sexual intercourse complications.</p>
<h3 align="CENTER">Homosexuals and fornicators are like<br />
dirty dung eating dogs</h3>
<p>Is the world around us a peaceful world centered upon God, or is it all confused? (Confused.) That is what is called free sex. What is the meaning of lesbians and homosexuals? That is the place where all different kinds of dung collect. We have to end that behavior. When this kind of dirty relationship is taking place between human beings, God cannot be happy. That is what the secular world is like. As the lord of all creation, are we seeking that kind of world? (No.)</p>
<p>As human beings, we should mobilize our forty billion cells and clean up these dirty places. Would you women want this dirty dung filled water to be poured over you? (No.) What about men, do you want to be soaked in that kind of dirty water? (No.) Only Satan and dirty dung eating dogs go after that. God created human beings and they should stay away from it. Isn&#8217;t it true? [YES!] There are certain kinds of dogs that go after dung and eat it. Therefore the name of dog (or sometimes &#8220;son of a bitch&#8221;) is used to speak badly of human beings. Those people who love dung eating dogs must have some problem. Especially American people, and American leaders. If they truly love such dogs, they also become like dung eating dogs and produce that quality of life. If such dogs are around can&#8217;t you smell them? Do you want to be close to them or far away? (Far away.) American people, their mind wants to get away, but their bodies are still being pulled by these dung eating dogs. That&#8217;s true! Free sex activity is equivalent to this. Father gave you a figure of speech.</p>
<p>Without the daily motto of absolute faith, love and obedience, even God cannot solve the problems among human beings. That is why God gave us this to follow. This is the first encounter between the king and queen sexual organ cells. [Father points to a diagram on the board] At this meeting point, your mind, body and all forty billion cells are focused, pulled in and poured in there. That is what is known as first love. Based upon first love all your forty billion cells begin dancing. If you reach that level through your love, then all your forty billion cells, your blood and body will become harmonized into one. This is total unification. The husband&#8217;s body belongs to the wife and the wife&#8217;s body belongs to the husband. God would come to that place of His absolute partnership and become one. Absolute man and absolute woman combine into an absolute couple and then combine with God and make one body. After they become one body with God, then everything belongs to that one body place forever. Forever yours. Centering upon True Love everything becomes yours; American land is yours, everything. All human beings don&#8217;t have that kind of ambition. Is that true? (Yes.)</p>
<h3 align="CENTER">The value of first love</h3>
<p>Do you need this concept? (Yes.) You know the meaning. The first love intercourse becomes the unification place. On their wedding night just prior to the first lovemaking between husband and wife, they should ask each other if they have absolute faith in one another. When they ask each other, &#8220;Do you absolutely believe in me?&#8221; what should be their answer? (Yes.) Do you want to do that also? (Yes.) Don&#8217;t you want to ask your spouse if he or she absolutely loves you? (Yes.) Then centering upon your absolute love, don&#8217;t you want to ask your spouse if he or she wants to give you his or her absolute obedience? (Yes.) For the husband, his wife is his absolute love partner. For the wife, her husband is her absolute love partner. You need unification between husband and wife. That is why the name Unification Church emerged. Then is the name Unification Church good or bad? (Good.) What about its contents and concepts? (Great.) How great? Not grey, nobody likes the color grey. Great color. (Great!) Make sure that you pronounce the &#8220;t&#8221;. Americans tend to lose the sound of &#8220;t&#8221;. Make sure you say &#8220;great&#8221;.</p>
<h3 align="CENTER">Once you reach absolute unification you can ask<br />
God to have absolute faith in you</h3>
<p>Once you reach the level of absolute unification between husband and wife, based upon absolute faith, love and obedience, then you will have the right to ask God if He wants to have absolute faith in you. God will then come and bow to you and say, &#8220;Yes my son, my daughter, I will have absolute faith in you.&#8221; Then you may reply, &#8220;What about absolute love and obedience, will you offer these to me?&#8221; Then God will bow His head and give you that. No matter how high God is, He absolutely needs His absolute love partner. As soon as God recognizes you as His absolute partner, He will come and embrace you and never let you go. God exists in eternity. Within God you will have eternity as well, because you will become one with God centered upon love. That means you will become the owner of absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience, in oneness with God. By doing so, we can achieve the world of eternal peace and unification. Do you follow? (Yes.)</p>
<p>Father&#8217;s topic today is: The Cosmic Era of Blessed Families. When all five billion people of humanity truly understand this concept of Father&#8217;s teaching, do you think they will want to have the family centered upon the True Love and teaching of Father, or the secular style family we see everyday? (Father&#8217;s kind.) Father&#8217;s teaching can establish the mainstream family system for everyone to follow. Even within this audience Father can see five different colors. Are you colored by Father&#8217;s teaching or do you still maintain your own unique color? Among the brothers and sisters of the white race, do you welcome or reject black brothers and sisters? (Welcome.) Why do you welcome them? (Because we love them.) Even as the white race you need the color black and vice versa. If day represents the color white and night represents the color black, don&#8217;t you think that day needs night? (Yes.) What do you need more, daytime or night time? (Both.) [Laughter] When do people ordinarily make love, during the daytime or night time? (Night time.) On Fifth Avenue in New York City people are rushing around during the daytime. However, once it becomes dark, night time, they all disappear. For what? To go home and find their love partner. To find their True Love place. This means their family. In the family the love settlement exists eternally. Then which one is more important, daytime or night time? (Night time.) You black brothers and sisters should shout <i>mansei! (MANSEI!)</i></p>
<h3 align="CENTER">The worldwide springtime culture is coming</h3>
[Father begins to draw on the board] In the field we see a tree growing. Does that tree exist only in the part that we see above the ground or does it also have an invisible part? (It has both.) Then the upper visible section represents daytime, and the lower section deep within the earth represents night time. Which one is more important, the root system of the tree&#8230;.. (Night time.) [Laughter] Don&#8217;t laugh. This is a very good example that I am giving to you. If the root system is not strong enough, it makes no difference what color your face is or how proud you may be, because within a few days you will collapse without a strong enough foundation. This Western civilization is now being crushed because it represents the culture of autumn. Therefore, when the winter culture appears, the culture of Siberia, the autumn culture will collapse, will become completely buried. As long as you have strong roots you can expect the following spring. These are the Last Days, when the Lord of the Second Advent will come to this world and give us the new Spring culture. The Spring culture is now on the Earth. These are the end times.</p>
<p>We are now in the month of May and everything is blooming. From now on the Unification Church will experience this kind of prosperity. Do you like that? This is the world spring culture. After the fall, we lost the world spring culture and world summer culture, becoming autumn. Now we are coming back around to springtime. During these last forty years, the Unification Church leader, Reverend Moon, was persecuted by the cold winter winds, winter winds, snowy winter. Centered upon Reverend Moon, the Unification Church leader, the so-called, bad guy! A bad or good guy? (Good.) From the satanic world&#8217;s viewpoint they called me bad, but from God&#8217;s perspective, I am good. Which one do you choose? (Good guy.) Without Heaven and God you cannot connect with this good guy. Even Satan&#8217;s color is bad. How can we change that back to God&#8217;s side? The fallen world and humankind need that kind of mission: how to belong to God&#8217;s world and how to change this world back to God&#8217;s world. Without that kind of world, you will be forever opposite of God&#8217;s side; you belong to Satan&#8217;s brood, Satan&#8217;s tribe. You have to clearly understand this point.</p>
<h3 align="CENTER">Roots which grow deep in winter<br />
support growth in spring</h3>
<p>Even after the severe winter wind and snow, Reverend Moon now has sprung out visibly this much [indicating to the diagram on the board]. However, his root system is strong enough to hold a tree several thousand feet high. Now that springtime has come to the Unification Church this tree will grow infinitely and unlimited. [Applause] When Father&#8217;s tree grows so rapidly, don&#8217;t you want to be a branch or twig on that particular tree? Then what size of branch do you want to become? A branch the size of America or a little tiny branch? (A huge branch.) If we compare America with the cosmos then it appears no bigger than your little finger.</p>
<p>As Unification Church Blessed couples, we need to grow our minds as big as the cosmos. Since the root is big enough to hold any size of tree, then even if any persecution hits you as a small branch, just like Father hit Mr. Kim&#8217;s head, because this root system is strong, you will continue to grow. The more you get hit, the bigger tree you will become and even God will be there. Therefore, do you welcome persecution or not? (Yes.)</p>
<p>During the last forty years of my life, I didn&#8217;t come out of the ground, I didn&#8217;t want to show myself to the world. But as a root system underneath the ground, Father made sure that the roots were strong and secure. No one likes night time, so Father took the night time and made sure that there was a strong enough foundation to restore the entire world. That has been my goal these last forty years. To work in the night time in order to bring the morning! Amen. (Amen.) Did you see how Father said Amen? It means A-number-1- man! Let&#8217;s do it together: A-MEN! A-MEN! A-MEN! [Applause] Father is willing to continue this for three hours, but if we continue to do it, someone might have a heart attack. [Laughter]
<p>We are incomplete beings. Isn&#8217;t that true? (Yes.) Do you think that God has hope in Reverend Moon? (Yes. Absolutely.) The vertical and horizontal lines are limitless, expanding to eternity. [Father draws on the board] This is the aim and goal for everyone and all creation. Here, plus and minus begin to grow and form families. What is the aim of this? This central point [indicating to the diagram on the board]. Above this line represents the spiritual world. From the spiritual world point of view, they have to come down to this central point. But the world of man and woman should go up to meet this central point.</p>
<p>As a man (plus), he continues to grow and once he reaches this point [indicating to the diagram on the board] he should realize he should not just keep going a straight line but he needs to move in the direction of the center point, because this straight line does not have the ability to create harmony. The same principle applies to woman. As soon as she reaches this point [indicating to the board], she should not keep going in the straight line but she should turn and come toward this central point. Once this minus reaches maturity there, she will automatically be pulled by this mature plus figure. While they remain in the immature stage, their pulling strength is weak. But once they reach maturity, both will have strong pulling power in order to pull each other toward the center. They both have to cover this much distance from both sides and then become one at this central point.</p>
<h3 align="CENTER">As human beings our goal is<br />
to build the original family</h3>
<p>What kind of power does it take to bring them into absolute unity there? As human beings our goal is to build the original family. As a man and woman we have to become an original couple. That is why we all have to come to this central point. God&#8217;s goal or aim is to find His own ideal family there. When boys and girls become mature, without being instructed they naturally find ways to come closer to one another. Didn&#8217;t you ladies have such an experience? Girls appear to be very quiet and subtle and don&#8217;t even look at boys. However, if there are three boys, you immediately are able to select which one you would like for your ideal partner. [Laughter] You have the ability to make that kind of comparison and choice, do you not? (Yes.) I don&#8217;t know because I am not a woman. [Laughter] No matter how famous a man might be, he has to learn through woman. In this time I want to learn something too. [Laughter]
<p>You thief-like men have the same experience, do you not? You are like thieves because you are the descendants of the Archangel. Who is stronger, man or woman? Who do you think raped whom in the Garden of Eden? Do you think Eve raped Adam or did Adam pull Eve towards him and rape her? Which one? Usually the crime of rape is tried in a court. Have you heard of any case where a woman forcibly took a man and raped him? (No.) Father never heard of such a case. How about you? (No.) The conclusion is simple: Men are in the wrong. Man is bad. When a woman pulls you for whatever purpose, do you have to follow her voluntarily with joy and happiness, or do you have to resist that pull through exerting your strength, using your foot as a brake? Even if you use your foot as a brake to resist, but someone is still able to pull you away from yourself, then that person is a robber or a thief.</p>
<p>In the secular world, if a man seduces a woman and she voluntarily follows that man then no crime has been committed according to secular law. Suppose a woman has a true lover, but sometimes she feels lonely. Don&#8217;t you think that she will sometimes yearn for her true lover and desire that he come and take her? When you look deeply into someone&#8217;s eyes you can find out what she wants. There is a way of measuring a woman by looking into her eyes. At first she might half close her eyes, not looking at you, but as soon as she feels open to you or comfortable with you, she will look fully back at you. Then if she were to become crazy about you, then her eyeballs will speak. [Laughter] That is the signal and the time for you to pull her towards you and she will voluntarily come. According to the standard of the secular world that is not a crime; it is not rape.</p>
<h3 align="CENTER">God, man and woman want to meet<br />
at the central point.</h3>
<p>The same principle applies to men. When you women look at men, observe their eyes and mouth because they are in the partner position. If his eyes and mouth smile together when he looks at you that is a good sign. Then you can confidently call him and he will follow you. Even in the animal kingdom, they have certain signals to call one another.</p>
<p>Everyone&#8217;s aim is this central point [pointing to the diagram on the board]. God, man, woman, family, everyone wants to meet at this central point. This is the way that it develops and progresses, through eight different stages. Yet in whatever stage you may be, the center is the same vertical line. On the contrary, God will begin coming downward to meet at this central point. [Father draws on the board] This is the aim of God also. The vertical and horizontal lines represent the entire cosmos. The center point is where the vertical and horizontal lines meet. That center is your family. At the point where God, man and woman meet, at this central point, there is only one thing to be done and that is the establishment of a family. This is the place of God&#8217;s most favored son and daughter. They are our original ancestors, Adam and Eve, who were most favored by God.</p>
<p>Adam and Eve were supposed to go through this process of reaching maturity and reaching the center with God. Did God create two women and one man, or two men and one woman, or one man and one woman? (One man and one woman.) Do you think that was based upon God&#8217;s eternal formula, or something God established temporarily? (Eternal formula.) Because Adam and Eve were the representatives of the entire cosmos. Suppose, within our ancestry, there were two grandmothers and one grandfather, what kind of result would we have today? Would there have been peace or fighting between these two grandmothers? (Fighting.) Would the grandfather also be involved? Surely he would have trouble too. This would certainly not be a place of happiness. Rather, it would be a hellish place, certainly not heavenly.</p>
<h3 align="CENTER">Lucifer was attracted to naked Eve.<br />
You must resist this temptation</h3>
<p>When Eve was originally tempted and deceived by the Archangel, do you think she voluntarily followed him or did she resist? (Voluntarily.) Imagine if you will, Adam as a young boy in the Garden of Eden, wild and running around investigating everything and leaving Eve by herself. They were both naked and unashamed originally. As Eve&#8217;s body was maturing, suddenly the archangel approached her with an evil intent in his heart. Sometimes Eve would sit in the lap of the archangel and their sexual organs would be quite close to one another. They were accustomed to seeing the animals around them mating and caring for their young. Then, in the blink of an eye, easily a relationship occurred between them. The Archangel took interest in this kind of phenomenon, so he took action. It is that easy to fall into an illicit relationship of love.</p>
<p>As a young, strong man, ask yourself, if you were in that situation with a pretty, naked woman sitting on your lap, don&#8217;t you think that you would experience the same temptation? (Yes.) As a man, in order to fulfill restoration through indemnity, no matter if a beautiful naked woman is in front of you touching your body, your love organ should not become erect. Rather, it should remain almost as if it were dead, without feeling. That is the action for indemnity. If that most beautiful woman attempts to touch and place your love organ into her, then you have to kick her about 1,000 miles away from you. If you were to kick her so hard that she landed some place far away and immediately died, do you think that God would punish you for that? (No.) Would God praise or punish you? (Praise.) That is an act of self defense. [Laughter] You are all laughing, but you should seriously be able to do that. Those of you who have the confidence to do so, raise your hands. (Yes. We can do it.) Just because you know this truth which I have taught you this morning, you have confidence. But without knowing this, you have no such confidence.</p>
<p>By giving one strong kick to such a woman and sending her away, you possess the entire universe. Heaven and Earth would then belong to you. Don&#8217;t you want to do that then? (Yes.) If you ladies can also practice that kind of principled life, then God would come down as your husband. That is the world where you no longer need any commandment. [Pointing to the board again]
<h3 align="CENTER">The center represents<br />
the ideal family we long for</h3>
<p>The center represents the ideal family which God, Adam and Eve all long for. Centering upon this original ideal family, we have to expand it throughout these eight various stages: family, tribe, society, nation, world, and cosmos. No matter how much this expansion takes place, your individual family is the representative of the entire cosmos. That is how your family becomes qualified to receive God and have God dwell with you. That is where we live as God&#8217;s children and the place where God&#8217;s lineage can be found. Through the lineage, the parent and child relationship is established. Originally, God wanted to have this kind of family and cosmos, but due to the fall this entire foundation was lost. Therefore it has taken thousands of years in order for God to reestablish this family. Finally in the Last Days, the True Parents came and have established the original family. We now are in the time of the expansion of this True Family to the cosmic level.</p>
<p>Not only True Family, but also the expansion of the True Family should be free from Satan&#8217;s accusation, all the way to the entire cosmos eventually. Do you truly understand the concept of indemnity from the individual level to world level? You might think you understand the concept, but in reality, do you really understand? In order for us to be able to reach the goal here [indicating to the diagram] and travel freely vertically and horizontally from the individual level to the cosmic level, we have to inherit the victorious foundation already established by True Parents. That is the only course that we have. All the women in the Unification Church have to become like the second Mother&#8217;s position, a branch of True Mother. All the men are in the position of branches of the Archangel position.</p>
<p>Every human being has approximately forty billion cells. Men, please consider yourselves as being attached to Father&#8217;s forty billion cells and carrying those cells. Likewise, women should consider yourselves to carry Mother&#8217;s forty billion cells. In order to do that, you have to demonstrate your absolute faith, love and obedience to True Parents. By doing so, you will become qualified to carry Father and Mother&#8217;s forty billion cells. Just like plus and minus, you have to become part of Father and Mother&#8217;s cells.</p>
<p>In a couple of days, Father and Mother will leave for São Paulo. If you truly want to be physically with True Parents, you have to transform yourself into a small fly and sit on Father&#8217;s coat tail; that way you can achieve your goal and you can even enter the airplane without showing your ticket! [Laughter] Just hang onto True Parents. That is the kind of faith, love and obedience which is known as absolute faith, love and obedience. Once you land in São Paulo, you will become absolutely free because you will have reached the goal. At the stage of completion, we do not need concepts such as absolute faith, love and obedience because you will have become totally one with them.</p>
<h3 align="CENTER">Hang on to True Father as if he were<br />
a big fish to reel in</h3>
<p>Again, we do not truly understand what indemnity means. However, as long as you have an invisible rope attached to Father, then even when you are far away from Father, you can still hang onto this rope and find your way back to him. That is the key. No matter how far you cast a fishing line, once the fish strikes, then it is simply a matter of reeling it in. You are now in the position of fishermen holding the fishing rod. Father is the king fish which you have to hook and make sure that he doesn&#8217;t get free. You just have to keep on reeling him in. Is that true? (Yes.) This fishing line is absolute faith, love and obedience. Even if he takes a big bite, you still have to hang on and keep on reeling him in. In this process, even if your ideal lover, your president or physical parents call you, do not even look at them. Rather kick them away and hang onto the fishing rod.</p>
<p>As man and woman reach maturity they naturally follow this angle, meet together and form the ideal family. Then they can travel freely to the Kingdom of Heaven where God dwells. They can also travel freely to the bottom of Hell and still it will be the Kingdom of Heaven. In other words, you are absolutely free. [Father draws on the board] This section represents man and this represents woman; a big plus and big minus. Here I am drawing a double line because between the physical and spiritual world there is free travel. There is no limitation or boundary. God is in the position of plus and humankind is in the position of minus. Spiritual world is plus and the physical world is minus. This plus and minus relationship is operating wherever we look. Once this center starts moving, then the entire cosmos will move at the same time.</p>
<h3 align="CENTER">The ideal family is perfect and complete<br />
from every viewpoint</h3>
<p>Once the ideal family is established it represents the entire cosmos. This is the completion point of this right hand section, left hand section, upper and lower sections. From every angle you look, this is the point of perfection and completion. Everything turns around this core point. We have to establish such a family. This is the road that we have to follow in this cosmic era of blessed families. True Parents are the central root, central trunk, and central bud, all connecting in one direct way. You are branches and twigs centering upon this vertical, central root, trunk and bud. Since True Parents are the central bud, trunk and root, we have to hang onto True Parents and become all different sizes of branches. How big a branch you become is entirely up to you. Would you like to become a small American branch or a big branch? Which country is larger, America or China? The population of China is four or five times larger than America. Even Russia is bigger than America in that sense.</p>
<p>If you become one of the major branches then you will have other small branches and twigs attached to you. If you cut off that branch and plant it in the ground, it will become another tree, which means another nation. I have given you such a blessing as an individual messiah, family messiah, tribal messiah, national messiah, and eventually, the world cosmic messiah. That is the goal we have to strive towards. Amen! (Amen!) The blessed families are true parents, or messiah. True Parents have two kinds of meaning. One is the family and one is True Parents. The Old Testament True Parents are the True Messiah. The first messiah, representing the Old Testament, wanted that kind of point. Jesus came to the Earth as the second messiah, but Jesus was not able to make a family and lost everything as a consequence. He could not make the heavenly settlement on the Earth. The third messiahship is the time of the Lord of the Second Advent. That means the world victorious foundation, beginning from the family and expanding vertically and horizontally.</p>
<p>Now we understand the meaning of True Parents. True Parents are in the position of the third Adam, to restore the failure of the first and second Adam, and they are the True Parents of humankind. The original couple who were to become True Parents in the Old Testament era failed. And in the New Testament era, Jesus failed to establish the position of the True Parents. Therefore, in the Completed Testament era, the True Parents finally came to this world and completed this mission. That is why the concept of Blessed families has come into being and the Blessing is taking place in this world. Since True Parents have won the victory in every direction, there is no opposition or persecution whatsoever. Amen! (Amen.) Every person and every living creature are supposed to welcome True Parents. All creation is liberated. Mansei! (Mansei!)</p>
<h3 align="CENTER">The Blessing is creating<br />
the worldwide family system</h3>
<p>This is why I have given you the title this morning: The Cosmic Era of the Blessed Family. This is what it means. The time of the 3.6 million couples Blessing on November 29 will be the time when vertically Heaven and Earth and the entire world horizontally, will meet together and become united. It is like the whole of humanity, without the fall, is awaiting the Blessing on November 29, 1997. It has that much value. It is equivalent to the Garden of Eden with Adam and Eve making the family system. During this heavenly era you can use your power to bring your parents and relatives to the Blessing without Satan&#8217;s accusation. After they receive the Blessing, they will be so grateful to you, even though you might have to somewhat pressure them to attend. This is the place where the family is being created to receive the entire universal value as one family. As I told you earlier today, if we were to pull out the entire lineage from any one woman or man, the entire ancestry would be pulled by that string.</p>
<p>True Parents have appeared in the Last Days. Now, through indemnity, they have won the victory and liberated Jesus and the New Testament, as well as the Old Testament all the way back to Adam and Eve. If you truly follow Father&#8217;s direction and bring your relatives to the Blessing, and establish this kind of foundation, then your entire ancestry will be attached to you. Then you will be able to liberate this ancestral line. From November 29, the new era of Blessing from this physical world will be extended to the era of Blessing even in the spiritual world. Until now, even within the spiritual world there existed splits and separation. Originally the Kingdom of God was supposed to be taken by Adam and Eve who were to fulfill their responsibility to build the original ideal family. Then together with their family, they would live together with God and enter into the Kingdom of God in the spiritual world. But due to the fall of man, this did not take place. In other words the Kingdom of God is still empty. In these Last Days, as long as we are totally united with True Parents, then based upon True Parents&#8217; victory of the establishment of the true family on the horizontal level, we will have the privilege of becoming the citizens of the Kingdom of God.</p>
<h3 align="CENTER">The Kingdom of God is the<br />
natural extension of tribal messiahship</h3>
<p>Just as in the time of Adam and the Old Testament era, and Jesus and the New Testament era, we are in the position to be able to restore and indemnify our ancestral line so that the entire spiritual world can be liberated. Up until now, the religions of the world have focused upon individual level salvation. But once we come out of that shell and follow True Parents we enter into the family level. The family level automatically extends to the nation, world and entire cosmos. Therefore we can build the Kingdom of God here. As Unification Church Blessed couples, if we truly fulfill the role of tribal messiahs, there is an automatic extension. That is why we can truly restore this world into the Kingdom of God. For this purpose, Father took down the HSA-UWC sign and placed a new sign: The Family Federation for World Peace and Unification. Until now, unification needed Christianity. Christianity means including the Old Testament era and the New Testament era. If these are cut away, then the Completed Testament era cannot stand. Without the foundation of the Old and the New Testament era, the Completed Testament era could not find settlement. Now the era of Christianity is over. Now the Blessing time has come to this world. Christianity can no longer persecute Reverend Moon in any way.</p>
<h3 align="CENTER">Now is the time for salvation of<br />
the whole world at one time</h3>
<p>The members of the Family Federation for World Peace are not just Christians. They are the sovereigns of nations and powerful leaders. Do you understand? No one can stand against this. The Christian world is following behind Reverend Moon, as well as Roman Catholicism and Protestantism. Everything is behind me, making that highway. There are no obstacles. One Blessing can liberate all the nations&#8217; people too. It is not only the way of individual salvation now. It is now the way of family salvation, tribal salvation, national salvation and worldwide salvation, all at one time. How wonderful this time is that we now live in. [Applause] Father is not speaking of concepts. This is a reality. Look at this secular world. Everywhere the families are broken down. No leader, no educator in this world can correct this. Only Reverend Moon can do this, only True Parents. God didn&#8217;t touch Adam&#8217;s family at the time of the fall. God could not touch them. Only True Parents are able to touch that situation. Without the power of True Parents, humanity cannot be saved eternally. Do you understand? (Yes Father.)</p>
<p>So remember, we are living in the cosmic era of Blessed families. Therefore our responsibility is to reach out to our immediate family members and relatives so that we can bring them to the next Blessing. Our goal is to bring 160-180 families to be blessed. This is how you can begin registration in the Kingdom of God. Centering upon this number of restored families we can then think of restoring our nation. Since we are living in this providential era, don&#8217;t you want to become tribal messiahs or national messiahs? (Yes.) The period for individual salvation is over. This is the era when the family, tribe, nation and entire world can be transformed into the heavenly side. This is a turning time and a most serious time from God&#8217;s perspective. From humanity&#8217;s perspective it is the same kind of serious time. Without taking this kind of action you cannot connect. No matter how famous your family may be you cannot connect to the national base. Father understands this kind of thing. America has persecuted me until now. Why? Father has made the kind of highway where every nation, tribe, and family can travel, the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth and in Heaven.</p>
<h3 align="CENTER">The <i>Divine Principle</i> is<br />
your steering wheel</h3>
<p>Father even provided the <i>Divine Principle,</i> like a steering wheel for you. Are you not even able to drive a car? Father has created everything for you. The body of the automobile, wheels, steering wheel and everything has been created. If you cannot use that automobile you are lost. Everything is ready for you. Even the gasoline has been provided and Father even gave you driving lessons. Why are you unable to do it? It is all up to you now. Do you understand Father&#8217;s message? (Yes.)</p>
<p>Over a week ago, over 140 national messiahs came to see Father. They testified to Father that as they began working in their mission nations, they came to realize that Father had prepared foundations there without their knowledge. Everything was ready for them. Everything was already prepared by Father. Now all they have to do is give their sincere effort. If in Father&#8217;s place they give the message as Father does, then everyone will naturally follow. This was their testimony. There are tens and thousands of so-called movers and shakers in the world. There are all kinds of leaders and VIPs out there. We simply have to work with them. Last night Father gave a banquet and message to the Board and Faculty members of the Unification Theological Seminary and the University of Bridgeport. Over 140 of those distinguished guests gathered at East Garden. Father urged them with a strong message and they humbly accepted.</p>
<p>Behind Father there are many Nobel prize winners, scientists, politicians and scholars. If they were truly mobilized to push America then America would surely be pushed. No one realizes this. No one realizes the kind of mission Father is doing at the world level. Unification Church members think that Father is a strange man. They have never understood what was behind Father&#8217;s actions. Even after forty years of life with True Parents, leaders and other people still fail to understand what Father is doing.</p>
<p>As precious Unificationists, are you willing to follow the road of perdition or the road of prosperity? (Prosperity.) The way to prosperity is by expanding the cosmic age of the family era. We have to work harder and harder. There is no time to waste. There is truly no time. We need to minimize eating, sleeping and play time. The secular world is sleeping and resting. However, this is the time for expansion and prosperity on the Earth. Don&#8217;t lose this precious time. Be proud of taking this important action. Will you follow Father? (Yes.) Make a big sound. Yes or no? (Yes!) Thank you. [Applause]

<h2 align="CENTER">REVEREND SUN MYUNG MOON</h2>
<h3 align="CENTER">May 1, 1997<br />
Belvedere International Training Center<br />
Translator &#8211; Peter Kim</h3>
<p>Our first title this morning is simply HSA-UWC so please repeat after me:<i> Segye Kidokyo Tongil Shillyong Hyopwe.</i> Now, our second title is: <i>Segye Pyunghwa Tongil Kajong Yunhap.</i> What do you think it is? <i>Family Federation for World Peace and Unification</i>. Father wrote on the board: Belvedere <i>Kajong Kyohe, </i>meaning Belvedere Home Church. The message is really rich this morning.</p>
<p>Following the Principle view, as you know, since Father came to America, Father has been working his providence based on this Belvedere holy place, Belvedere Church in America. Then two years ago, Father moved to South America. His providence became centered on the South American continent. However, after working with the South American providence for a while, Father went back to Korea and has done much work during and following his providence in Korea. Father started many new projects and took care of all the work there. Now is the time, Father says, that the old church signs or church-related signs should come down and a new form should emerge.</p>
<h3 align="CENTER">We have entered the era<br />
of family level salvation</h3>
<p>When it comes to the era of church and church life, the focus was on individual salvation. However, it is the time now that we have to be elevated from this individual level salvation to the family level because the family is the cornerstone or the basic unit to form and to build a nation.</p>
<p>When we study the human fall, what happened in the family of Adam and Eve? It was first from the individual level, then the family level that the entire family collapsed there. So when it comes to the history of the providence of restoration, restoration should go through the process of first restoring individual mind and body unity, then creating unity among the family members, and on to the tribe, society, nation and world. Because of the fall, as you know, the human race started with a false blood lineage and that false blood lineage expanded into families, tribes, societies, nations and the world. That is the everyday world we are facing now. True Parents came to this world to save humanity, so now we have to correct every wrong, we have to change this false blood lineage into the heavenly lineage and we have to expand all of this worldwide.</p>
<p>That is why Father said that this is the period of equalization, centering on True Parents&#8217; concept. Bad parents, false parents, appeared in this world and broke down everything-there is separation in every direction. During this time, True Parents appeared connecting everything, causing our mind and body unification that will perfect man and woman, connecting with one another and creating a perfect family. This will extend horizontally out to the world, making a unified world &#8211; opposite of this fallen world. Individuals have separated, families have separated, all over the world people are falling down and connecting with and occupying Satan&#8217;s side. But now it is the time of rebirth. True Parents appeared, truly connecting the individual base, completing unification of mind and body. That kind of man and woman are connected completely, centered on their family, the perfected family. All this extends to the world, the heavenly horizontal extension; it passes all dominion and authority of the Kingdom of Heaven. The opposite way of Satan&#8217;s way.</p>
<h3 align="CENTER">The age of religion is passing away</h3>
<p>Therefore, the ordinary time of the religious period, the life of religion, is passing away. Up until now the purpose of the major religions was for individual salvation. That is why, not just the Unification Church sign, but all religious organization signs and church signs will come down sooner or later. Think about it, at the time of Adam and Eve, if Adam and Eve had been totally united with God in the beginning, do you think religion would have been necessary? What about the history of restoration? No. Everything was suppose to have been done at that time. Because of the Fall, all of humanity throughout all of human history has been suffering and is still suffering from what is called &#8220;fall sickness&#8221; or the sickness of the fall. When True Parents come to this world, they will bring a new serum, the serum of truth, and when we get a shot or injection, then we will get engrafted into the heavenly lineage. Just as when there is an epidemic disease, you get a shot or a vaccination, it&#8217;s the same thing. That is why receiving the Blessing is the most important thing in your life.</p>
<p>So we, let&#8217;s suppose, are in the position of restored Adam and Eve working toward the level of perfection. Centering on the Blessed couples, now the whole world has to be restructured and reorganized to meet the criteria of the Kingdom of Heaven. That is why Father has already given orders to Blessed couples to play the role of tribal messiahs. If we perform our tribal messiah roles properly, we should be able to bring 160-185 families, including our relatives, into the Blessing and by doing so we will set a condition to restore our entire tribe. And based on this tribal restoration, the nation can be built. This will restore the failure at the time of Jesus Christ, like the restoration of John the Baptist&#8217;s family and Joseph&#8217;s family. All the foundation will be done, then the nation will be formed.</p>
<h3 align="CENTER">The national messiahs in 185 countries<br />
are central to God&#8217;s work</h3>
<p>We will continue building the world, centering on God. As you know, already in 185 nations, the national messiahs are this center. So your role, your responsibility is doing tribal messiahship centering around where you live and where your mission is. Once we reach the three different levels as a messiah, a family messiah, tribal messiah, and national messiah, and fulfill our responsibility properly, then Satan cannot interfere in our work and in our life. Once all these levels are completed, and the national messiahs are totally united, and the world foundation is laid, then the national messiahs will be called world messiahs. When this world messiah level is reached, all of humanity will be in the position of the original Adam and Eve and will go through and complete the eight different stages and will be called perfected.</p>
<p>While we were unaware of what Father was doing, Father has laid all the necessary groundwork to dispatch these national messiahs to the world. And while in the field, if national messiahs, no matter what nations it may be, if four nations can be totally united, centering on God, then restoration of the entire world is vindicated. From four nations, the next stage will be twelve nations, then like a four-position foundation, these twelve nations will be elevated to restoration. Then restoration of the world!</p>
<p>We have a tendency to keep our old habits, meaning the old habits we used to have before we joined the church. And while we are still struggling with our old habits, the time-line of God&#8217;s Providence has progressed so fast that it makes us dizzy now. We don&#8217;t know how fast it is traveling, but soon it will be beyond our reach, so we have to be fully alert. [Father draws on the board.] This drawing represents the satanic world. There are eight different stages of the satanic, secular world. [Father continues drawing the diagram.] Even vertically, as Father shows us in this diagram, there are eight different stages. There are eight stages horizontally and eight stages vertically. It is shrinking from the worldwide level to the individual level, in eight different stages. This satanic world exists and we have to get rid of it, so it is shrinking to the point of the individual here.</p>
<p>Right after World War II, centering on the Lord of the Second Advent, if the Blessing from God had taken place, this process would have been completed by now. And then it would have expanded vertically, centered on God&#8217;s direction, on the heavenly line, not the satanic line. It is like establishing and rebuilding the Garden of Eden again. It didn&#8217;t happen. Of course, the Lord of the Second Advent would have become the True Parents to all of humanity, but because of the failure of the Allied countries and Christianity, True Parents were kicked out of this world.</p>
<p>True Parents, who were suppose to build this vertical original world were chased away to this satanic world level again, into the wilderness. They started from scratch, from the zero level again, to complete these eight different stages. At each stage, Father had to make Cain and Abel representatives united. Finally, True Parents won the victory on the world level. That is why, after Father won the victory in Korea, Father moved to America so that he could work with world level Christianity, centering on Catholicism and Protestantism, which represent Cain and Abel, or mind and body relationship.</p>
<p>The organization of the United Nations represents only the body, the minus, because it is an organization of politics. It doesn&#8217;t have the plus. The United Nations represents world politics; therefore, the UN needs a woman figure. In other words, Eve and Cain and Abel, the elder son and second son figures are needed. Father is preparing this very foundation for the sake of the UN. Just like our body always puts pressure on our mind and tortures our mind, this United Nations, centered on politics, has been always putting pressure on religion and has put down religion, which represents the mind. That is why body-centered politics, such as the UN, doesn&#8217;t have anything to do with God or God&#8217;s original purpose. Mind and body have been separated in such a way; therefore, now in the history of restoration, the course to meet the original point has to be reversed. Once Father reaches this worldwide level victory, then Father will bring the entire world to this original point.</p>
<h3 align="CENTER">True Parents have been engaging<br />
in an internal and external battle</h3>
<p>There have been two different kinds of battle, the internal battle and the external battle In the spirit world, there has been a battle between the good spirits and the evil spirits there. And also, in the physical world, Father, representing God, and True Parents&#8217; race, with the bad parents&#8217; race against us, this battle has been going on. The satanic, individual-base battle that extends to the world base level, has been continuing.</p>
<p>Until recently, the entire world, including the democratic world and the communistic world, all mobilized and opposed and attacked Father. However, that era is over. That represents 4,000 years. Father made the indemnity conditions and restored these 4,000 years of human history in 40 years. Like the failure of the Old Testament era, which was the first Israel, the first Messiah, and the New Testament era, which is the second Messiah era, all failed. That is why Father had to restore these 4,000 years&#8217; history of failure. So now, the spirit world and the physical world combined, together, are with Father, with True Parents. So once Father reaches the worldwide victory level, Father will embrace this entire world and reverse the course to the original point. Then the entire world will have the engrafting process, the process of rebirth, and come to the world level to build the Kingdom of God on Earth.</p>
<p>These eight different horizontal stages of completion will be established vertically too. So these past 40 years, for which the entire spirit world and the physical world joined together and attacked and persecuted Father, is over. At this point, Satan loses dominion of the entire world. There is a new world, nation, tribe, family and individual, because at this point, we meet with our own mind and body.</p>
<h3 align="CENTER">America is harvesting extreme<br />
individualism, selfishness and free sex</h3>
<p>Americans say that America represents the free world and is the superior nation of the world. But when it comes to reality, suppose America exists alone, and the entire world disappears. America is the kingdom of extreme individualism, the kingdom of free sex. When it comes to the reality of the Fall of Man in the Garden of Eden, what was it? Adam and Eve became the ancestors of extreme individualism, selfishness, and the ancestors of free sex. Therefore, you will reap what you have sown. So, though it was spring season at that time, now in this harvest season, we will reap the same result. The Satan-side harvest representative country is America, where there is free sex; the individual nation does not have family values and tribe base, nation base and world base because everything was lost. This is reality, not a concept.</p>
<p>America doesn&#8217;t have anywhere to go now. As American brothers and sisters, do you have enough resources and power to rule the world? You lost your grandparents, your parents, your siblings; there are no relationships. They are all complicated and lost now. Can anybody deny that? So, centering on America, there may be twelve major nations in the world that are leading world affairs. These are the countries that are repeating the very same mistakes that Adam and Eve made in the Garden of Eden at the time of the fall. How can we say &#8220;there is our tribe, our nation, and our world, centered on God?&#8221; Even your view of life and way of life, everything is based on this selfish and extreme individualism. That is why you lost everything, from the individual level to the world level. Because of free sex.</p>
<p>Then what else is happening? Incest is taking place in this world. Incest is not connected to God&#8217;s side, but is completely connected to Satan&#8217;s side. Isn&#8217;t that right? Many American people are connecting to that. This is phenomenal, this is reality and the viewpoint of providential history. You have taken this concept. You have to turn back 180 degrees, otherwise, there is no hope. In there, no world, no nation, no tribe, no family, no individual exists. All collapsed, connecting to Satan&#8217;s side. Satan&#8217;s work means collapsing. Humankind is becoming that degraded. This is Satan&#8217;s main work and viewpoint.</p>
<p>So when we all come back to the original point, True Parents will restore all that was lost throughout human history and establish it on a vertical level. All the different levels and views have to be reestablished, centered on God, through True Parents, from universal views, world views, your national views, your family views, your individual views, every aspect. By establishing home church in the Unification Church, we are in the position to inherit everything. Everything connects from different directions &#8211; Adam connecting to the individual viewpoint, to the viewpoint of prospective family, prospective tribe, prospective nation, prospective world base and cosmic prospective, centering on God&#8217;s love prospective completely. Is that right? [Yes.]
<p>We take things away from Satan. So, the first thing we have to accomplish is the restoration of the elder son&#8217;s right. Then once Cain and Abel have reached unity, they have to be united with the mother figure. They then join the United Nations work and centered on this United Nations, which now has plus and minus, Cain and Abel, together, and through this organization, the restoration of kingship will take place. For that reason, Father has already established, as you know, Women&#8217;s Federation for World Peace, Religious Federation for World Peace, and Youth Federation for World Peace; so all these federations are suppose to work with the United Nations.</p>
<p>When True Parents Day is recognized by the world, that is the day when the entire world will celebrate. When that kind of tradition is set, then restoration of the world will be complete. That&#8217;s when we can all proclaim One World Under God! [Clapping] One World Under God, not one nation under God.</p>
<h3 align="CENTER">We are restoring elder sonship,<br />
parentship and kingship</h3>
<p>America cannot take care of the United Nations. In other words, America cannot control the nations. When it comes to individuals, we consist of mind and body. The same principle applies to the organization of the United Nations. On this individual level, we lost elder sonship, and parentship and kingship. That is why, on the worldwide level, centering on the restoration of Cain and Abel, and Eve, the mother figure, we have to restore elder sonship and parentship, and kingship.</p>
<p>Father is told that the United Nations is in debt for about 3 billion dollars, but if the <i>Women&#8217;s Federation for World Peace</i>, <i>Youth Federation for World Peace</i>, <i>HARP</i> and <i>CARP</i>, truly fulfill their purposes, then this 3 billion dollar debt can be solved. In the family of Adam there were four members: Adam, Eve, Cain and Abel. What was lost in the family of Adam should be restored before we attempt to restore the world. That is why we have to make sure that elder sonship and parentship and kingship are restored, then we can restore on the world level, centered on God. Where is the base or location or place where we can complete God&#8217;s providence of restoration from the individual level to the world? Where is the very place? The Family Church, home church. This is the place. Suppose there is a nation that from the top, the president down to the government cabinet members, all the families of that nation establish this Family Church, then restoration of that particular nation comes automatically.</p>
<p>Suppose that by the end of August of this year, with only three months to go, our goal of reaching 3.6 million couples Blessing is completed; in other words, we have already secured more than 3.6 million couples. Father will then immediately make an announcement or proclamation to the world that from September 1, we will march toward the goal of reaching 36 million couples. If that happens, the entire world will be stirred up; all over the world there will be communications complications everywhere. &#8220;How can they be doing that? Everywhere? In all directions?&#8221; people will say! Centering on the family, we are resolving everything? &#8220;How are they able to do that&#8221;?!</p>
<p>The direction and purpose, that starting point, that clear starting point, with clear direction, clear purpose, clear cause and clear result is what we have. No other church, no religious organization has a clear starting point. They don&#8217;t have direction that precedes the turning point either, so that in these end times they don&#8217;t know where they are going in the future. They have lost direction. No place to go. Total loss of direction. This is complicated.</p>
<h3 align="CENTER">The Family Federation for World Peace is<br />
replacing the Unification Church.</h3>
<p>Unification understanding is clear. Individual direction and purpose, family direction and purpose, nation, world and cosmic direction and purpose is clear. And liberation of God&#8217;s starting point, direction and fulfilling the ideal creation and ideal purpose is clear. At last we will be with God and all humankind and all things will be centered on God. New Creation. One direction. Then we will embrace God and God&#8217;s True Love Place. In all places we will enjoy dancing and singing. Within the tribe, nation and all over the world, we will be dancing and singing. In the Cosmic Kingdom of Heaven on Earth and in Heaven there will be both dancing and singing, a most enjoyable world! That is the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth. Isn&#8217;t that right? [Yes.] I don&#8217;t know, you know more than me. [Laughter] How great everything will be. Every race joined together, no problem. Color no problem. Love power is so strong. Blood lineage power is stronger then world power. Blood lineages following in the direction of unity. Because such a time has come now, it has arrived, so Father took down this sign, the first sign of the Unification Church and established the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification.</p>
<p>Through the course of the Old Testament and New Testament eras, we lost everything from the family to the world. The entire world was lost. That is why, since we are in the time of the world era now, Father has started from the world level down to the family level, so now we can establish the Family Church. Think about it, even though Jesus Christ was crucified on the cross 2,000 years ago, his power and influence has been felt all over the world for 2,000 years. But suppose Jesus had not died, and he had established his family and his children had started multiplying from that time. How long do you think it would have taken to restore the entire world? Not more than 600 years. Jesus&#8217; family would have been the mainstream family all over the world. Mainstream like the True Olive Tree. The fallen world wild olive tree would have been cut down at the starting place, making way for that True Olive Tree, putting new influence in there, going upward &#8211; that one True Olive Tree becoming an orchard of True Olive Trees. That True Olive Orchard where God completely combines everything and takes domination, no problem.</p>
<p>Centering on True Parents&#8217; Blessing, that expansion, that engrafting of the wild olive trees, cutting them down, and starting the engrafting of new branches has begun. A new branch is the new Blessing. This engrafting process takes place through receiving the Blessing. That is why the very family that we lost in the Garden of Eden will be restored on this worldwide level. No matter what America may try to do to harm the Unification Church, the Unification Church will not be destroyed. Even if Germany or the entire European continent is mobilized, there is no way for them to do harm. During one particular time, the entire Japan nation was mobilized to get rid of the Unification Church, but no way. No way means yes way. Do you like yes way? Also &#8220;yes way&#8221;, in Korean pronunciation sounds like &#8220;Jesus Christ&#8221; way.</p>
<h3 align="CENTER">We need to go beyond religion<br />
to restore humanity</h3>
<p>Again, the conclusion at this point is that unless we take down this sign which deals with religion, Christianity, we cannot accomplish restoration of humanity because this very sign limits the level of salvation to the individual level. So do you want to remain at the individual level or family, nation and world level providence and salvation? Just like at the time of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, now at Chung Pyung Lake where the workshops are taking place, the spirit world comes down to our physical world level and works together jointly. This is happening. And those good angels from the spirit world come down and chase the evil angels and evil spirits away. Once we establish this foundation of chasing away these evil spirits, centering on good angels and good spirits, and centering on the True Family level, then the spirit world, and couples in the spirit world will be liberated too.</p>
<h3 align="CENTER">Without making a family, you cannot<br />
enter the Kingdom of Heaven</h3>
<p>What is the basic unit of the Kingdom of God? It is the family. The Kingdom of God place is within the Blessed couples; centering on God and connecting there through the True Love foundation of the family, you get into the Kingdom of Heaven. Without making that family system, one cannot get into the Kingdom of Heaven. That was God&#8217;s original creation ideal. Until now, everyone was separate, individual, everywhere there was separation, that archangel way of no spouse partnership. During this time, True Parents made the ideal family base which is victorious on the Earth and in Heaven too. The two worlds are liberated completely, centering on the marriage Blessing. Through that, centering on God, connecting and expanding the True Love family base to the nation and the world, completely connecting the original ideal family base everywhere, ultimately creating the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth and in Heaven, everything will be liberated. Mansei, Mansei, Mansei.</p>
<p>This plan, Father&#8217;s plan, is not imagination; it is not a science fiction story; it is reality. It is a very logical process that Father is taking. Satan&#8217;s power over the media and literature that prevents God&#8217;s side from prospering must be challenged. Every power &#8211; the media world power, investigating bureau power, the worst Mafia power, all have been preventing and blocking God&#8217;s power everywhere. Father recently spoke to representatives of literature from the East, the Orient. Plans are being developed to form a Federation for World Literary Writers. By utilizing these kinds of organizations, the foundation is being laid to build the new heavenly culture for the twenty-first century. We can educate and lead those young people who are growing up now for the sake of all of humanity and God&#8217;s providence, through writing novels and books centered on Godism, not secularism anymore.</p>
<p>Therefore, please do not feel sad about the disappearance of the Unification Church sign. Now we are working on the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification level. This is a much better and even a higher level sign. And because of this, now we are so blessed that we can conduct our Family Church on this level. What era are we living in? Is it the New Testament era? No. This is the Completed Testament era. Now the Old Testament era and New Testament era which dealt with Christianity and all different religions, has passed. That is why in this era of completion, the Completed Testament era, we can deal with families. It&#8217;s the family salvation way; salvation through families, beyond Christianity which represented individual salvation; this is a different and higher dimension. Isn&#8217;t that true?</p>
<h3 align="CENTER">The family connects all humanity, transcending religion</h3>
<p>The Family base connects all over the world, connects all humankind, automatically. The tribe church, family church, nation family church, world family church, that&#8217;s all &#8211; the Kingdom of Heaven. The ideal family is there, the ideal tribe is there, the ideal nation is there, the ideal world is there, the ideal creation of God is all there, making everything complete so that at last, God is liberated too. Wow! Everything. First time for God. I will sing some kind of famous song, I will dance, I will do everything. How wonderful! God will enjoy everything, the singing groups, dancing groups, universal ballet, academic projects, everything. Liberation in every corner of the world. Do you like that? What a wonderful time has come to Earth! We will laugh with loud voices, make dancing sounds, everything, stirring up every space in the world. How wonderful a time has come to me, my family, my world, God&#8217;s Kingdom of Heaven! Do you like that? [Yes.]
<p>There has been too much work, too much persecution for the past 40 years. You don&#8217;t realize that. You say, &#8220;Oh, I don&#8217;t like hard work and persecution.&#8221; If Father were not here, what kind of result would there have been? That is a big problem. Isn&#8217;t that true? Now, we are over everything. The past as Father has described here, the persecution and hardship is over. Now Father is telling you to utilize every ounce of your energy and do your absolute best to fight and march forward. Will you do that? [Yes.] So, that is our main active purpose. Is that clear? Do you like that? [Yes.] And you like Father? [A small child yells Yes] The young are more powerful.</p>
<p>So should we have these goals and hopes? [Yes.] Actually, summer dawns with May and this is May. What we will see from now is nothing but prospering, everything is prospering and blooming. New life emerges, new buds come, all the birds and animals start moving about in order to gain everything. This Springtime is the time of freedom, and liberty is dawning now for the sake of the whole Unification Church movement. We should have a burning desire and new determination to follow True Parents to restore the whole world so that we can build the Kingdom of God on Earth. Amen? [Amen] One baby&#8217;s voice is stronger than all your voices. That means the third generation agrees that more hope is coming to us.</p>
<p>The details of this transition from Unification Church to the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification has already been explained by Father through various speeches so you will get the details. However, Father wants you to understand the matter, and why this new era begins with this new name. Therefore, don&#8217;t you feel obligated to go out and bring more couples to the coming Blessing? [Yes.] Beginning with whom? The very king or president of your nation you have to bring. And your grandparents, your father and mother, your children, and your grandchildren, your families. Then your entire nation will be restored at once. This is truth.</p>
<p>The lineage is now changing. It is like foreigners coming to America, going through certain proper procedures and becoming American citizens. It takes some work. Isn&#8217;t this true? Which is more important and precious and more valuable: becoming an American citizen for a foreigner, or becoming a Blessed couple? Blessed couple card. With this Blessing card, you can go everywhere in the Kingdom on Earth. Even occupying Hell&#8217;s place is no problem. There is no boundary for the Blessed couple. Free, free, so much freedom. Such a perfect place. Father, now I can sleep. I can take a rest for a long, long time, more than forty days or forty years. How wonderful! How wonderful a time for me too.</p>
<h3 align="CENTER">Our 43 year history parallels<br />
the Israelites&#8217; 430 years in Egypt</h3>
<p>So, do you feel excited? This is the 43rd Anniversary of HSA-UWC Founding Day. It is the 44th year, even though it became a full 43rd year. Just like the Israelites, after 430 years, they restored the land of Canaan. This is the worldwide time, all of Christianity is the expansion of these Israelites. Therefore, now the entire world of Christianity is being restored 43 years after the HSA-UWC Founding Day. The failure of the Israelites has been restored, centered on the unity of Christianity and now this new era has begun. That is why Father gave the motto: &#8220;<i>Let Us Be Proud of True Parents and Love True Parents</i>&#8221; last year and this year&#8217;s motto is: &#8220;<i>Let Us Be Proud of True Parents and Love True Parents Through Accomplishing the 3.6 Million Couples Blessing.</i>&#8221; That way, we can even fly! Is that a problem or not? [No.]
<p>Thinking of the size of America, your responsibility is 360,000 couples; that should be a piece of cake. So, is America going to become thumbs up or thumbs down? [Thumbs up.] That is what you have in your mind but in reality, which one?</p>
<p>Father has a question for you. Father is planning to leave the country on May 5th. He realizes that May 4th is this coming Sunday so do you invite True Father here to speak to everybody on Sunday or not? [A response of Yes and clapping.] You have a choice. Since this is the 43rd Anniversary of the Founding of HSA-UWC, do you want to have Father come to headquarters today and speak at the celebration there or do you want to wait until Sunday and see Father here, giving a new message? [Sunday.] Sunday means it is not Moonday. Is it Sunday or Moonday? Sunday and Monday combined is Reverend Moon&#8217;s Day. If you combine Sunday and Moonday, it becomes the Day of Reverend Moon. That means you want Father to be in both locations today and Sunday. Monday represents Mother&#8217;s Day and Sunday represents Father&#8217;s Day. Then which day should follow which day? Monday should follow Sunday.</p>
<h3 align="CENTER">Please study the meaning<br />
of this transitional time</h3>
<p>So again, Father says please study the detailed explanation of this particular transitional time and remember what Father has told you this morning because this is the time that you have to be aggressive to bring your immediate family members and your relatives to the next Blessing. You can do it. Please understand, you have the elder&#8217;s authority, the parents&#8217; authority, kingship authority, all the way to God. That is subject position. The subject can control the object with no problem. You, as an elder brother, may use force on your younger brothers to get them into the Kingdom of Heaven. They will be thankful for their elder brother later. &#8220;You did well,&#8221; they will say, &#8220;Thank you very much.&#8221; After all, Satan&#8217;s side is forcefully using whatever means they have to get everyone into Hell. So we must forcefully do the opposite.</p>
<p>Until now, your family, your tribe and your nation were against us, but now we reverse the way. A more powerful subject force is connecting us with God and True Parents. Satan&#8217;s power cannot combat this original power place that is ultimately following. All must go the Blessed way, beginning with your family, your tribe and your nation; go the reverse way, the Blessing way, the saving way.</p>
<p>Can you do it? [Yes.] Your mind speaks first, then with your ten senses combined to do it, please swear to God. Can you show your determination through mobilizing not only your five senses, but your ten senses, showing your determination? So if you become seventy times stronger than the opposition and persecution and attack from the satanic world all these years, you can use seventy times more power than those powers in the past to bring your relatives and immediate families to the next Blessing, you are not violating heavenly law. Satan will bow down at last. Even Satan will bow down to you and say, &#8220;I want to be saved, please.&#8221;</p>
<p>We have to root out the entire tree of Satan and throw it in the dungeon of Hell. Your relatives and compatriots should be saved and separated from Satan. Get them away from Satan. You will do it absolutely? Open your eyes wide, open your mouth, open your ears against all kinds of sight and sound and all at one time, clean up! God wants that kind of time now. That time has come to us now. You will not lose. You will do it? This is May 1. Father&#8217;s message needs your determination, is that right?</p>
<p>Please do not feel sad because Father&#8217;s message is short this morning. In the near future, it may not even take five minutes. No time. Let&#8217;s do it. Amen.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center;">REV. SUN MYUNG MOON</h2>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">March 26th, 1997<br />
Washington Hilton Hotel<br />
Translated by Mr. Peter Hyo Yul Kim</h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">Closing remarks at the inaugural meeting of the Martial Arts Federation for World Peace</h3>
<p>I am grateful that with your cooperation this convention has been very successful. We have a saying in Korea that getting started is half the job done. Therefore, please do not get discouraged but think that the rest will follow naturally. Originally I planned to lecture for three hours, however time is ticking away so I have less than one hour to talk.</p>
<p>We have to understand what humankind needs and desires most. Nobody in history knew this. In a true man, mind and body become united. What about you? Does this apply to you? Both men and women desire mind-body unity.</p>
<p>When we look at human history, our ancestors, Adam and Eve split. Because their mind and body divided, human history is a history of division. Originally there should have been one nation under Adam and Eves supervision and rule. However, because of their division there have been many different nations. There are hundreds of nations, with differing cultures and traditions.</p>
<p>If God exists, what kind of nation and world would He create? It would be a world of unification, without division or separation. A human body has over 40 billion cells. Wherever we go, whatever we do, these 40 billion cells work together in harmony. Gods world is the same. God Himself has absolute mind-body unity. The teachings of major religions all emphasize mind-body unity, because this is how we resemble God. Because we do not have mind-body unity we cannot see peace. The concept of peace entails more than one person; there should be a horizontal alliance between at least two or three people. That is what we call peace.</p>
<p>Then why did division start? Because of the human fall. Why did the fall cause such division? Because of Satan, human beings started with false love, not with the true love that comes from God. Our physical body has become the vessel of Satan; it is like Satans military base. So where does hell begin? With our physical body. This is why our mind and body are fighting.</p>
<p>Why has our body become the vessel of Satan and the starting point of hell? It is because of false love. Because of this false love we inherit false lineage. Because Adam and Eve fell at the growth stage, God never had a chance to build His original true love relationship with human beings. Humankind has been dealing with satanic love, which is false love. At the fall, the power of false love was stronger than the power of our conscience; that is why the fall took place. Therefore, humankind has been attached to the power of fallen love. That is why even now men and women are driven by bodily desire.</p>
<h3>The importance of religion</h3>
<p>Satan is above our mind. In other words, our physical body, which represents satanic power, is above our mind. So there is a gap between mind and body. We must fill the gap. Therefore, when we push this mind to transcend bodily desires, God can come down and dwell with us. In order to achieve that goal we must deny our body. Because of the fall, humankind needed the major religions. Those religious doctrines all emphasize pushing down our bodily desire. That was the responsibility of religions. They also emphasize abstinence and celibacy. That is why in Buddhism and Catholicism there are nuns, priests and monks who practice abstinence, although they do not know the original reason.</p>
<p>There are only two ways to secure mind-body unity. One way is to negate and keep pressing down your bodily desires. The second way is to focus absolutely on the connection with God and love God more than your children or your parents. Then you will be connected to God and your bodily desire will be negated. This is the reason that among all the world religions, Christianity is a major power.</p>
<p>Religious doctrines emphasize voluntary service for others. Satan wants to go up, but serving others makes us go down. Religions teach us to be humble and patient and not to resist others. In that sense, resisting is linked to the satanic world. To be humble is the opposite of being arrogant. Religions also emphasize a sacrificial life. By practicing a sacrificial life you will become more humble. Religions teach the value of making offerings, and martyrs offered their blood. That is why Jesus said that those who seek to gain their life will lose it and those who are willing to lose their life for Jesus&#8217; sake will find it. This statement sounds somewhat contradictory, but it means that if you live your life just for your own sake then you will die spiritually, even though you remain physically alive. But if you give up your life for the sake of others, even if you lose your physical life, you will live with God in eternity.</p>
<p>Religions also emphasize fasting. Have you experienced fasting? Kindness, humility, fasting, sacrifice, and martyrdom hit our body, dont they? You martial artists do not think of such things, do you? You train and then go after food and drink, saying, &#8220;I need more, more food, more energy.&#8221; Our bodily desires, which represent Satans side, are diminished by things like fasting and making ourselves humble. As our bodily desires keep going down, our mind comes up and we get closer to God and Gods love comes upon us. Gods love dwells upon the foundations of kindness, humility, fasting, sacrifice, and martyrdom.</p>
<p>Christianity teaches the relationship between parents and children. Since Jesus is described as the bridegroom, Christianity also teaches the relationship between bridegroom and bride. Christianity teaches the relationship among brothers. Jesus called himself our brother, indicating that we are all one family centered on God. Then, what is the purpose of pushing down our bodily desires? It is to unite mind and body and then unite with a spouse who has the same mind-body unity; it is to find our love partner. So first, we have to unite mind and body and second, we have to find our spouse.</p>
<h3>Experiencing mind-body unity</h3>
<p>Do you like love? (Yes!) How much? Is your love greater than the universe? We all seek love, but the love we inherited all the way from Adam and Eve is satanic love. In our blood lineage there is separation between mind and body. If there is a division of mind and body in our spouse, that means four entities are fighting. That is the reality of the fallen, satanic world. We should destroy this problem and eliminate this division. If such elimination had come about a long time ago, the process of restoration would have been much simpler. Suppose there were only two people in this world to be restored: it would have been much easier for God to restore them instead of restoring millions of people.</p>
<p>Do you all feel qualified to enter the Kingdom of God? You cannot enter as long as there is a division between your mind and body or between you and your spouse. God does not exist where there is division. God has nothing to do with such divisions. The first criterion for God to be involved with you is absolute unity between mind and body centering on true love. Our bodily desires, which are on the satanic side, have been higher than our mind. By pressing our body down further, our mind comes up and then we achieve mind-body unity.</p>
<p>When I watched your martial arts demonstrations tonight I saw many of you trying to reach the unification of spirit and body. As you know, the moment of the unification of your spirit and body is the moment of unification of your mind and body. When you perform certain demonstrations, you achieve that goal. Once you reach mind-body unity you can break whatever object you are trying to break, because once you become one you generate great power. Once you reach that moment of unity between mind and body and spirit, then you feel like your breathing has stopped and you can do whatever you want.</p>
<p>In my experience, the moment my spiritual five senses are opened I can see the entire spirit world freely. What enables me to see the spirit world? The power of love. You cannot see the point upon which your mind and body unite. However, you must know that is where strength, energy, and power are generated. Once you reach absolute mind-body unity, miracles take place. All kinds of miracles will happen, such as healing. It is not difficult to see miracles.</p>
<p>What kind of love do you need? True love? Can you say what true love is? True love is love which unites you and your love partner absolutely and inseparably for eternity. Have you and your spouse achieved that? Once you reach that goal as husband and wife, God will come down to you and be united with you absolutely and immediately. Once God comes down upon you and is united with you, you can do many miracles. If you open your arms you can make people repent. Whatever you wish will happen. Don&#8217;t you think that would be more interesting and more fun than breaking bricks and boards? If you can perform such miracles you can revive the dead. This is possible only when you can utilize the power of true love. The more you practice true love the greater it becomes. Those who want to possess true love show your hands. But there is a precondition: if you want to obtain true love you have to keep pressing your body down to the zero point. Can you do that? If you cannot do that you will go to hell. He</p>
<p>I am a religious leader and somewhat controversial. The world has been criticizing and persecuting me in every possible way, but I didnt perish. Just as you have been training in how to defend yourself and how to attack your opponent, Satan has been attacking me and persecuting me all these years, but I always defended myself and found my way out. Whenever I close my eyes I can go up to God and God comes down to me. We freely travel together. True love provides that power and ability. Because I possess such true love, there is no boundary when I reach the spirit world. The Kingdom of Heaven is where people of no boundary and no limitation live. Dont you think it will be good?</p>
<p>It is getting late. You heard enough messages tonight, didn&#8217;t you?</p>
<h3>Overcoming bodily desires</h3>
<p>You should know one thing. You are all strong people; your bodies are well built and well trained. But in your daily life, will you follow your bodily desires, or will you make sure that your body follows your mind? Which way? You are a physically strong man, which way will you choose? People are being led by their bodily desire every day. Your body always says, &#8220;Well, your beloved wife is waiting for you at home, but she doesnt know where you are going so you can go and buy a drink and spend some time with your girlfriend.&#8221; You don&#8217;t care if your infant children are waiting for you at home and crying for you, you just follow your bodily desire. If you really do that do you think your mind is happy?</p>
<p>Originally, God created humankind so that our mind would lead our bodily desires. But in this world the order is reversed. That is why everybody goes to hell. However, if this becomes right side up, you will all go to the Kingdom of Heaven. You must know this clearly!</p>
<p>You are martial arts specialists, grand masters. Even if you dont have all the logic and reasoning for this at least you must know one thing: our physical body is the most fearful, treacherous vessel of Satan. Unless we rid our bodies of this fallen, satanic nature, God cannot come down to us. Just as God could not interfere in the fall, God cannot enter our physical body. Satan can be described as Gods love enemy. Nobody knew this fact. We inherited Satans blood lineage. Human beings were supposed to multiply from Gods lineage and become Gods children, but instead we received Satans blood lineage and became Satans children. This is why God cannot interfere.</p>
<p>How did the fall happen? Because of our eyes, nose, ear, mouth, or hand? Through the misuse of the sexual organ, through false love, the human fall took place! Because of false love, human beings became false parents, giving false love, life, lineage and conscience. They became one with Satan instead of one with God. No one became absolutely one with God. They all united in opposition to God.</p>
<p>What kind of world are you living in now? It is hell! Nobody knew that. I have been fighting all my life to eliminate Satans lineage from humanity. Yet the world&#8217;s religious leaders and their followers have been opposing and persecuting me until now. In particular, Christianity has been opposing me, America has been opposing me and Russia has been opposing me. From the individual level to the family, tribe, society, nation and world, the entire world has been attacking me all these years. But I didnt pause. Nobody supported me. Satan and his children attacked me.</p>
<p>(At this moment, one of the participants presented a medal to Father.) Since you are presenting this to me, I will receive this. You are thinking of me as a champion. Thank you.</p>
<p>Who is the most famous or popular person in this world? It is me. What am I famous for? The world has been crying, &#8220;Reverend Moon is the worst devil, the worst person in this world. Let us kill him. Let us chase him out and eliminate him.&#8221; That has been the cry. Even if I am an aged man, I am still strong. For that reason, nobody can conquer me! Do you feel good now that you have finally met me? (Yes!) But I dont like the fact that I met you tonight. I am standing on top of the cliff and you are standing at the bottom. So I have to use my strength to pull you up. That is why I dont like you. There are over a thousand people here tonight. If I have to pull everybody up, each of you will say, &#8220;Me first! Me first!&#8221; All five billion people will ask to be pulled up first.</p>
<p>But you are special people. You are grand masters, so shall I give special consideration to you and extend my hand to you first? To whom shall I extend my hand first? Those who are asking to be helped first are destined for hell. So, instead of asking for help you have to prepare yourself by attaching a hook with a rope onto your belt and then hook it onto my belt. That way we cannot be separated. That is how it is meant to be. If you hook onto everything that belongs to me, including the truth that I teach, saying &#8220;This is mine, absolutely mine; I wont let it get away from me; I will stick with the truth even to eternity,&#8221; then there is hope. Only when you take such action will you be liberated.</p>
<p>So you know that no matter what, you must achieve the goal of absolute mind-body unity. This body has been a thief, a historic burglar. Satan, who is an enemy of God, corrupted and murdered countless people; Satan corrupted Christianity and made it shed blood. This body and Satan have murdered, sacrificed, martyred and shed blood throughout human history. This is why we have to capture this body and Satan.</p>
<p>So how did I say the human fall took place? How did it happen? [Through the sexual organ.] How do you know if I am lying? A person who looks like a swindler has a long nose. How do you prove that I am not lying? You have to ask your mind and listen to your mind. When you deal with somebody, dont depend only on your physical senses but use your intuition. If you cannot distinguish the difference, think of yourself as a stream of water in a quiet forest and then, just like radar, your mind will capture the mind of another person, analyze it and let you know. Your mind will play the role of radar.</p>
<p>Suppose you are to go home to take care of your children and meet your wife, but your body is leading you to a bar. Then ask your mind which direction to take, and it will tell you clearly. If there is a beautiful woman right next to you, your body keeps getting closer to her and is attracted to her; then ask your mind if you have to go with her or stay away from her; your mind will tell you to stay away from her. No matter who you are, when you do something wrong you always hear the inner voice of your conscience, dont you? Your mind always tells you the truth. Is it true? If you know that your wife is waiting to meet you at 5:00 p.m. but your body goes to a bar, dont you feel guilty? Yes or no? [Yes.]
<p>Who is the owner of myself? Not my body but my conscience. The conscience is the eternal owner, the eternal subject. You do not know that. You should know how valuable it is. Your conscience protects you more closely than your parents, your teachers, your king or your president. Your conscience is the closest being to you. You must know that. Your mind is in the subject position, and the conscience is even closer than God is. However because of the fall, our minds function became weaker than our bodily desires. I am not lying to you. I have experienced this and I am telling you this. I have dealt with many people in the spiritual world and I gave the same truth to them. Do you understand? Now you are learning to conquer your bodily desire.</p>
<h3>Achieving true love</h3>
<p>Once your mind and body become one, Gods love will automatically be upon you. True love has magnetic power. Gods love is powerful like a magnet. People with mind-body unity always become the subject anywhere they go. Those who are subject have a magnetic power and can create unity wherever they go. Dont you think so? The concept is becoming reality. Once you reach mind-body unity, you dont have to make effort to bring God down to your level and become one with you. God will automatically become one with you.</p>
[To a Christian minister:] Do you have absolute mind-body unity? [I am trying.] When does the trying end? When will you complete it? Trying means that you are in the middle position. Trying by itself cannot accomplish the purpose. No matter how difficult it may be, we must make unity between mind and body. [To a professor:] No matter how famous you may be, you cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven until your mind and body are united. [I am trying.] God does not like only trying. If you are trying, that means you still belong to Satan. This is the logical conclusion. Do you understand? Lets think about the second method.</p>
<p>You must love God with your mind and body united. You have to conquer Gods vertical love. God is the vertical central figure. There is only one point where God can settle in you, and that is at a 90-degree angle. However, because of the fall, humankind could not connect with God at a 90-degree angle; the angle has varied. People&#8217;s minds are not vertically oriented; the problem is that people are horizontally oriented. How can we adjust the mind to the original direction? In order to go toward the original direction, you must prepare for the pain of re-creation. Otherwise, there is no way to be saved. This is very logical.</p>
<p>Unification Church doctrine is very scientific and logical. The role of religion in this world now is diminishing. However, the young people of the Unification Church are alive and working. When Gods true love comes down and reaches our level, it ignites a spark like a lightning. Once that happens all satanic elements will be eliminated from us and we will automatically become one with God and Gods true love. Dont you want to invite that kind of true love to come to you? [Yes.] Those who want true love raise your hands.</p>
<p>American women who have a weight problem restrict their bodies because they want to diet, not because they want to conquer bodily desires in order to make mind-body unity. If anyone does this for the purpose of chasing Satan out from herself, she will receive blessing, but I dont see anyone doing that in America. This is why religious people have healthy bodies even if they dont diet. Because people eat like pigs, Satan will take their bodies and they will die early. They are punished. Because they ate like pigs, their bodies become large and heavy, and they will die sooner. They will go to hell sooner than others will. So you must understand this truth clearly.</p>
<p>When you go to the spiritual world, you will meet me. When you see me in the spirit world you will say &#8220;Oh Reverend Moon, I met you on such and such a day in such and such a year at the Martial Arts Convention at the Hilton Hotel. Therefore, no matter what my status, please help me and take me to a good place in the spirit world.&#8221; What kind of answer should I provide? Even if I am walking side by side with you, you will not be able to follow me. The atmosphere of the spirit world is love. Love is like the air in that realm. Therefore, if you are not really on the same level with my love you cannot deal with me.</p>
<p>I can see nobody here who does not long for true love. Am I right? What is true love? What is the essence of true love? [Father picks a few flowers from the vase and throws them to the audience.] True love is giving and forgetting about it, and then giving again. It means giving forever and forgetting forever. True love means giving everything. Even if God disappears because of giving He will still give. Once you give everything of yourself for the sake of your spouse or object, then you are in a vacuum. You belong to the person to whom you have given. When there is absolute low pressure, suddenly the higher pressure comes and fills in the vacuum, making equilibrium. Isnt it true? [Yes!] Gods love works in such a way.</p>
<h3>Living for the sake of others</h3>
<p>For hundreds and millions of years, God has been giving and providing everything, but God never tried to remember it. He forgets. If God remembered what He has given to humankind the giving would stop. Therefore, God forgets and keeps giving. This is how motion occurs. There is one absolute law in this world that whoever most lives for the sake of others will become the central person in the family, community, and society. The one who gives most will be the central person because that person resembles God, who has been giving for the sake of humanity all these millions of years.</p>
<p>Among your family members, whoever sacrifices and devotes himself or herself most for the other family members will be the central person in the family. Such children are called filial sons and daughters. Such citizens of a nation are called patriots. Saints give everything and sacrifice themselves for the sake of the world. Those who try to save the world even at the cost of their nation are saints. A holy son is one who observes the palace law of the Kingdom of Heaven on earth and in heaven, as well as the heavenly law of both the spiritual and the physical worlds. The one who practices and lives for the sake of these four laws will be called a holy son.</p>
<p>The universal truth is that the one who lives for the sake of others will become the central figure. For example, you are all martial arts masters. There is a limited time for demonstrations. If everybody tries to go first, can we call them people who live for others? Suppose one grand master who is qualified to give a demonstration yields his turn to other people one time, a second time, and a third time and without complaining or feeling sorry, by the fourth time everybody will come and say, &#8220;You go first.&#8221; Dont you think so? This is the very principle by which I have been living my entire life. Even though the entire world has been criticizing me and opposing me I know this is true. This is absolute truth and this is why I have been following it. In the end, the entire world could turn and give me its support and recognition.</p>
<p>God is the absolute being who gives eternally; that is why He is the eternal center of the cosmos. This is the true conclusion. Do you understand? The one who eternally lives for the sake of others becomes the eternal owner and eternal central figure. On the contrary, what is the definition of the devil? The devil is the being who keeps living for himself, taking from others, and asking others to do things for his own sake. The devil will become smaller and eventually disappear, while those who live for the sake of others, such as God, will become bigger and bigger. This is very logical and principled.</p>
<p>Some black brothers and sisters have been severely persecuted and attacked by white people because of racism. They have animosity and anger within themselves, and they seek revenge, but that is not the right way. The same applies to people of any color. Orientals, Hispanics, Italians, Blacks and others are continuously entering the United States. If Americans live for the sake of these people, America will be raised up, but if Americans do not live for the sake of others America will decline.</p>
<p>Whoever attacks first will naturally be defeated. As we learned from World Wars I and II, the side which attacked first was defeated in the end. Also in World War III, the side which attacked first will be defeated in the end. This is the truth. This is the formula in the providence of God. Isnt it true? [Yes.] I dont think so. [Still the audience answers, Yes.] If you are so sure, then you must answer yes with a voice loud enough to awaken God.</p>
<p>Well, I am so intoxicated by my own talk that I forgot about my cold. That is why I am getting sicker. Isnt it a good thing that I can help you enter the Kingdom of Heaven by sacrificing myself for all of you? The same applies to you. You shouldnt complain about a situation when everyone is complaining. You shouldnt despair in a situation where everyone despairs. Dont waste your energy for nothing. That is the kind of life I am living. If you dont worry, you will live a long life. This is the way to resemble God.</p>
<h3>Changing the direction of your life</h3>
<p>Dont you want to become the true children of God? [Yes!] Have you thought about the difference between your love toward your children to whom you gave birth and your love towards God, as you become His true children? Which is greater, the first love or second love? [Second love.] How many times greater love do you have for God than for your children? Which is greater: the love between secular parents and children or the love of true children toward God? If the second love is greater than the first love, how many times greater is it? [Infinitely greater.] Good answer. Remember what Jesus said: &#8220;Whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother, and sister, and mother.&#8221;</p>
<p>More than anyone or anything, you must love God. Do you understand? This is the fallen world. The love in this secular world is connected to the fall. The love in the original, unfallen world is much more valuable than the love in the fallen world. The love in the original world gradually increases but the love in the satanic world gradually declines and ends up in hell.</p>
<p>The world where we are living is the kingdom of hell on earth. You must know this. You must stamp out this world. You have to reverse the course 180 degrees. After listening to my speech, can you reverse your life course 180 degrees? What if I say not to drink anymore? Why do you think I will say not to drink? Satan has used alcohol as a weapon to control humanity and destroy human beings. Smoking also. Of course, give up drug abuse and free sex, for these are clearly Satans weapons. You have to understand why you should not touch those things. Unless you are given a clear reason for not smoking, drinking, or abusing drugs it is not easy to do that. It is not fair.</p>
<p>You are thinking and feeling different things after hearing my teaching this evening, right? Or is there no change? This is what is called a brainwashing session. Shall I brainwash you a little bit more? (Applause.)</p>
<p>Just as Jesus Christ taught us, those who seek to gain their life will lose it and those who are willing to lose their life for his sake will gain it. By the same token, if you truly live for the sake of the entire world, for the sake of others, even if you lose your life God will come down and revive you. If I teach you this truth will you still call me a bad guy? [No!] No means K. N. O. W. You know. I am revealing facts based on my personal experience.</p>
<h3>Bringing people to the Blessing</h3>
<p>Human beings deal with four different directions &#8211; north, south, east, and west. Suppose you lose your life three times yet are willing to give your life again, because in order to make a circle you need four points &#8211; north, east, south and west. So even if you lose your life three times, God will give you a fourth life. Women throughout the world caused Adam to fall; women destroyed Jesus family and destroyed the world of the Lord of Second Advent. Women in the world caused the death of the first Adam, crucified the second Adam, and almost destroyed the third Adam, the Lord of the Second Advent. Women are in the position of Eve. Eve destroyed three husbands. So we must not trust women. (The audience laughs.) Dont laugh. There are reasons. It would take hours to fully explain why I am saying this.</p>
[To a member of the audience:] If you are a true husband, even though your wife attacks you three times, you should be able to say that you cannot abandon her and you will live and die for her sake. If you can do this, you will be able to live. If you can do this, you will become a true husband, guaranteed by God. Even if a man is attacked by his wife three times, if he returns to his wife still smiling we can call him a true man. In this way, you can sit on Gods shoulder. Dont you remember when Jesus Christ was pierced by the Roman soldiers spear, instead of cursing them he prayed to God, &#8220;Father forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.&#8221; He forgave the Roman soldiers. Why did Jesus do that? He did it in order to enter the position of God and eliminate Satan.</p>
<p>Dont you think America is in the position of enemy to me? It incarcerated me although I didn&#8217;t commit any sin. Yes, in that sense America is in the position of enemy to me. I came to America offering everything, sacrificing, and providing everything: my wealth, my power and almost everything for the sake of this nation. If I keep doing this, eventually the entire nation and the American people will recognize what I have done for the sake of their nation and their people; then they will all follow me. Again the universal principle is that those who love more than anybody else will become the central person working for the sake of others. Do you understand clearly? [Yes!] Thank you!</p>
<p>In order to find Gods love, you should live for the sake of others. Then, what do you want to have today? You want to have Gods love. In order to do that, you should bring yourselves into the position of Gods sons and daughters. Wouldnt it be nice if the son and daughter were to become a couple? If you are truly determined and united and are willing to offer more love to God, then God will offer love to you. When a couple lives for the sake of each other more than living for the sake of God, God will instantly come down to their position and become one with the couple. Is this the correct answer or the wrong answer? [Correct answer] That is the way we can conquer God.</p>
<p>Those who do not want God to dwell within them show me your hands. (No-one raised their hands.) Then, anyone who desires this, show me your hands. (Everyone raised their hands.)</p>
<p>This means you will take my advice tonight? [Yes!] If you truly do that you can register in the Kingdom of Heaven. You will be registered fairly in the Kingdom of Heaven. Then God will have me bless you and make you His sons and daughters. How would you like that? (Applause.) Do you want to participate in that and become a good couple?</p>
<p>Well I am told that there are about 200 million people in the world being trained in various martial arts. If you bring all those 200 million people for this marriage blessing to Washington, D.C., we will have a big problem, because we have the capacity for only 3.6 million couples. Therefore, I am allocating for you only 1.2 million people. Can you do it or not? [No-one answers.] If you cant do it, then there is a big chasm between you and me. The problem is that you are not totally one with me yet. When will you be one with me? When?</p>
<p>You cannot meet me in person any time you wish. I am in a higher position than you are in many different aspects. Why dont you promise me that you will receive the blessing? My most precious gift to you tonight is this advice: to come to the marriage blessing in Washington, D.C., this November. If you do not take my advice, when you come to the spiritual world you will all wail with regret: &#8220;If we had listened to Reverend Moon, we wouldnt be in this situation.&#8221; Because I know that you will be in grief, I am giving this advice to you.</p>
<h3>Developing the Martial Arts Federation</h3>
<p>Well, it is getting late. So I am going to tell you my plan for the Martial Arts Federation for World Peace. Did you expect to find out about this Marital Arts Federation for World Peace? [Yes.] Do you want to sit still and have me support this Martial Arts Federation for World Peace? If nobody else comes with support I may turn my back on this. If I support the Martial Arts Federation for World Peace three times, what do you think you should offer? Some parents do not trust you and they do not send their children to you to be trained because you might abuse the students obedience for your financial purpose. I know that students follow your directions well. If you begin to tell your students to bring extra money for you to support yourself, this will cause a big problem and you will be kicked out from your town.</p>
<p>You wont be able to do such things for your own financial support, but if any one wants your strength for money, you can be easily sold. This is because your financial situations are difficult. In a tough situation, even some martial arts experts can be bought and manipulated by rich people. Their power, strength, and skills can be abused and misused. There is no secret in the world, and once you get caught as a supporter of gangsters, you lose your life. Well, you grand masters are better off. However, first and second-degree black belts open schools and have a hard time, resulting in some problems. Although you have influence over these young people, you cannot be totally responsible for their lives, can you? Even the nation cannot be responsible. Only God can. I understand God clearly. That is why I am giving you this advice tonight. I am not here to make money from you. Even for this convention we spent about $1.5 million. What about you, has anybody offered even $1,000? Have you offer</p>
<p>You cant take the responsibility, can you? So, I have a plan to solve these problems. When I went to South America I saw many young people in poor conditions. Some of them become gangsters and do all kinds of bad things. Some of them become thieves and robbers. In one state of Brazil, I am planing to help young people who do not have proper schooling or job skills. I am planning to do the same in 33 South American nations. That is why we are constructing buildings to accommodate them and give them proper training and education. In order to support the Martial Arts Federation for World Peace, I am planning to build a huge martial arts center in each continent. In those continental centers, students and teachers could be trained at the same time. Both students and teachers can pursue their academic studies as well as martial arts training. Teachers can be trained as martial arts specialists or grand masters on different levels. Some will qualify as elementary school martial arts grand master</p>
<p>Although ninth-degree grand masters may build a training center, not anyone can build one. It will depend on their efforts and their skills. If they keep training hard they can keep going up the ladder and become college-level grand masters. This will be like a degree program. For example, if you reach the third-degree black belt level you will be qualified to teach elementary level children. With a sixth-degree black belt certificate you may teach middle and high school kids. A ninth-degree black belt may teach college students. You will be able to take care of your family financially because you will have a set income. With a B.A., M.A., or Ph.D. degree, you should be able to work with the local police and religious leaders. Religious leaders are in charge of people in a spiritual sense, and you can give a vision to people of the right way of life.</p>
<p>In conclusion, make sure that you are united with the spirit of this convention, and make unity between your mind and body. I am absolutely sure that I can block evil and liberate God, something no one in the world can do. This is why I am instigating you to take up the task. You must know this. As long as you follow what I have taught tonight, the future of the Martial Arts Federation for World Peace will be prosperous.</p>
<p>If you grand masters do not follow my suggestion tonight, then I will begin to mobilize the grand masters from Korea to support these efforts for the sake of the world. I have that kind of foundation. So, support me, become one with me, and lets become victorious. I like a victor. How about you? Dont you like to become victors?</p>
<p>It is getting late. It is almost midnight. After finishing this gathering I will have to drive five or six hours to New York. My wife, Mrs. Moon, is giving a nationwide public speaking tour in Korea, so I have to go to New York to hear my wifes speech. Even if it is sad to say good-bye, I have to go. Good night. Thank you very much.</p>

<h2 align="CENTER">REVEREND SUN MYUNG MOON</h2>
<h3 align="CENTER">February 16, 1997<br />
Belvedere International Training Center<br />
Translator &#8212; Peter Kim</h3>
<p>Good Morning! Is anyone able to read the title Father has written? Excluding Japanese and Korean brothers and sisters. (One brother makes an attempt) (Laughter) Repeat after me please. (Korean title is pronounced by Peter Kim) When we refer to children generally we commonly understand that children exist because of their parents. In order for a son to exist it requires both a father and a mother. When there is more than one child we refer to them as children. If parents are the origin then their children are the result. Also, if parents are in the position of the first cause, children are in the position of the second cause. The first and second cause should resemble each another. By resembling one another they have to ultimately become united based on what? Knowledge? Money? Power? No, for the sake of love. What kind of love? The kind of love which is greater and bigger than man or woman. The kind of love which is greater than man and woman combined.</p>
<h3 align="CENTER">The search for Ideal Love</h3>
<p>How can man and woman become parents? Only through love. The ambition of parents&#8217; love is greater than themselves. If the ambition and goal of the parents&#8217; love is here [indicating to the board] then the ambition and goal of the children&#8217;s love should reach to this goal as well. The content of the ambition of love is neither division nor separation but rather the ambition of love is unifying and harmonizing. The kind of unity that will last eternally. Everyone desires that quality of love. No matter who you may be, everyone equally desires that quality of love. Even beggars and street people. Isn&#8217;t it true? (Yes) We have to understand that once we attain and practice that kind of love, we will be respected and envied by all of humanity.</p>
<p>Throughout human history has there been even one couple who has attained that level of love True Father has just described? No. Americans are so proud of their development culturally and technologically and consider themselves such good people; however, we cannot find even one couple practicing the love Father has described. In terms of this kind of principled love, even Americans, from the individual, family, society and national level do not pass this criterion. Therefore, isn&#8217;t it fair to say that America and Americans are not really good enough? Where do you think that kind of American is presently located? Closer to Hell or Heaven? (Hell) All Americans possess a certain desire to become united. But has anyone done it? (No) What about you American Unification members? (Not yet) The concept of &#8220;not yet&#8221; continues forever. Meantime, the trend continues to go down, ever since the fall of Adam&#8217;s family. How to stop this worldwide phenomenon now? This is very, very serious.</p>
<p>Within human history there has been rising and falling at all different levels of life, beginning with the individual level, family, society, nation and world. Now in this twentieth century, there is no place where we can find ideal love. Do you agree? (Yes) If the quality of life of humanity throughout history has been a failure, then what about God who has been trying to look after humankind? Has God also failed? (No) How can you confidently proclaim that? (Because we have True Parents) True Parents didn&#8217;t just suddenly find the solution. Rather, True Parents are still working on reaching the final solution. If you take a quantum leap like that in order to respond to a question, you automatically fail. It is necessary to go step by step.</p>
<p>We all know that God is omnipotent and omnipresent. Then why has the human world become the way that it is? Where is God and what is He doing? When looking down upon humankind in its present state, do you think that God is happy or suffering? (Suffering) How do you know that? The reason why God has not intervened in human affairs is because there is some reason why God cannot interfere. That is why human beings could not have the hope and goal of being restored. What do you think the reason is for God&#8217;s inability to intervene in human affairs? Does God need money? (No) Well, if He doesn&#8217;t need money, how about knowledge and power? (No) He already has these things. Do you think that God would be pleased at seeing material things or be proud of His own knowledge that He would burst? (No) Do you think He feels so proud of being the most powerful being in the world? (No) What is it that God needs? (Love) Where can God find love? (Absolute sex) (Laughter) Where is absolute sex? God Himself has absolute sex. There should be absolute sex of both male and female. Between two men or two women absolute sex is not possible.</p>
<p>God has dual characteristics of male and female. Therefore, God needs both man and woman. This means that man alone and woman alone cannot achieve absolute sex. If there is a beautiful woman in front of God do you think that He will be pleased by woman alone? (No) Who else does He need then? (Man) The absolute sex of man and woman both exist in front of God. Then what else is needed? The first condition is to make their relationship into one, unification. Absolute man needs absolute woman. Absolute woman needs absolute man. Are you absolute men and women? Once you pledge to become an absolute man, no matter what kind of obstacle you may face, you should never compromise. All obstacles should absolutely dissolve in front of your determination. That is the absolute standard. If you are attacked and opposed by someone, that person will eventually become tired of opposing you if you show no sign of change.</p>
<p>Do you all want to become absolute women? (Yes Father) All men and women desire to become absolute. Have you become absolute men? (Not yet) (Laughter) When will you become absolute men? This is a very serious matter. It is logical that absolute men and women are necessary before absolute love can come about. All absolute women, please show your hands to Father. Father suggests that you all come and take a good look at him. (Laughter) Theoretically, if there is an absolute man, then all the women of the world will be attracted to him. Even if the 2.5 billion women of the world would be attracted by him, would this absolute man have to run away or stay still? (Laughter) It is a big problem for him. (Laughter) Even if there are 100 absolute men they would still be in trouble. There should be at least 2.5 billion absolute men. Then things would become equal.</p>
<h3 align="CENTER">Absolute love is forever</h3>
<p>Regardless of nationality, position, male or female, we all desire an absolute partner. Blessed couples raise your hands. Can any of you say that you are an absolute couple? (Sometimes) Sometimes is not forever. Father&#8217;s standard is not off and on. It is eternal. This is not a laughing matter. This is an extremely important issue. If there is a couple who has not reached the absolute standard yet and the wife observes her husband pursuing another woman, will she be happy? (No) Why not? Even though you may not have reached absoluteness in terms of unity and harmony, if your spouse goes after another person you absolutely do not like it. That means that you have the desire to become an absolute partner.</p>
<p>When wife or husband looks at you with a smiling face and bright eyes, do you want to see those loving eyes and sparkling smile only now and then, or forever? (Forever) Absolutely forever. Then you will become totally intoxicated. In the secular world can we find any couple with that standard? (No) How about the relationship between your mind and body? Do you have absolute unity or struggle? (Struggle) As children of God we are still struggling for that. Do you think God also has that kind of struggle within Himself? (No) God doesn&#8217;t have that struggle but you have it. If God is in the Kingdom of Heaven and you don&#8217;t resemble Him, then where are you? Now you understand what Hell means. It is easy to conclude that if we cannot find any absolute couple in this world then this is clearly a world of Hell.</p>
<h3 align="CENTER">This world is Hell because<br />
it lacks absolute love</h3>
<p>This world is not Hell because of lack of power, money or knowledge. It is Hell because it lacks absolute love. It has become absolute Hell. Why has it become so? Once the fruits of a tree are ripened the farmer will gather them and store them away. That will become like a heavenly barn. However, if the fruits became rotten before they were able to ripen, they would all fall to the ground. Such fruits cannot be brought into the heavenly storage barn. That is equivalent to the fall of man. They fell from the tree before they were ripe. No matter how much we may dislike it, the fact is we are the result of fallen fruit and living in this world of Hell. This fruit of love was supposed to ripen and eventually be stored in the heavenly barn. But this did not happen. Is there a way that we can translate this world of Hell into the heavenly world? Can we accomplish it with money? (No) Does America like money or not? (It likes it) Therefore, America belongs to the satanic hell side. No matter how proud Americans may be, they cannot transform this world of Hell into the Kingdom of God on Earth.</p>
<p>If we have a disease in our body a doctor needs to find the cause in order to root it out and bring the cure. It is logical to conclude that our human ancestors fell because of the misuse of love. Man and woman have their respective love organs. Can man or woman alone create fornication? (No) Adultery takes place when man and woman make love together. When God watches humanity misusing their love organs do you think He would welcome them or kick them out? (Kick them out) He would absolutely kick them out. We have to clearly understand this. If you don&#8217;t understand the meaning of the Fall then you are in trouble. Don&#8217;t you understand that you are the rotten fruit from the result of the Fall of Man? We are still rotten and generate such an evil bad smell. We need to be burned and eliminated, even thrown in the ocean! We ourselves should have that kind of desire. Do you want to be burned in the furnace? (Yes) Sounds not so bad! Feeling not so bad!</p>
<h3 align="CENTER">Hell is the world of conflict,<br />
Heaven is the world of harmony</h3>
<p>Now you understand your status. So do we deserve Hell or Heaven? (Hell) What is the world of Hell? Hell is where you live in constant conflict. Whereas Heaven is the world of harmony. What is the world that Reverend Moon and God are trying to build? The world where absolute harmony, unification and peace prevail. This is God&#8217;s and True Parents&#8217; purpose. Is that clear? (Yes) What is your goal and purpose? (Make the Kingdom of Heaven) Sounds good, but how can you accomplish it? You are a fighting field person. Your mind and body are in constant conflict and disharmony. How can the world of Heaven be built on such a base? It is easy to give the good answer to Father, but are we really qualified to give such an easy answer all the time? (No) This is the problem.</p>
<p>The time and place we are living in today is a most dangerous, fearful time and place. We have to take this very seriously. Centering on one&#8217;s self, there is always a fearful atmosphere surrounding and attacking us. How can we protect ourselves? This is how we should think. In this fearful world, danger always exists. You may yield everything you possess, but you should make certain to maintain your absolute love. This is the condition for you to join with God in the spiritual world. If you have that kind of love core, what would you do with it? We have to know that we have an objective love core and there must be a subjective love core, which is God Himself. Do you understand? You have to resonate with that kind of concept. Without this concept you cannot connect with your opposite sex absolute love atmosphere.</p>
<h3 align="CENTER">We struggle because we were<br />
conceived from false love</h3>
<p>If that kind of love core has to be connected, should that occur through your body or your mind? (Mind) Why? This means that your conscience is closest to God. We all experience the struggle between our mind and body. Why do we have this struggle? We are born as a seed of love. However, within our seed of love exists the seed of love of mind and the seed of love of body. These two identities are divided and the struggle begins. Do your parents always live in perfect peace and harmony? Or do they struggle and fight sometimes? (They sometimes struggle and fight) Don&#8217;t you think that your parents sometimes entertain the idea of divorce in their minds? (Yes)</p>
<p>In this world, parents do not have absolute unity. They are inclined to struggle and fight with one another and even think about divorce. Is such a world Heaven or Hell? (Hell) Do you imagine that your two eyes desire to divorce? (No) These eyes always have harmony and unity one with another. They follow each other. Do you think that your left nostril desires to divorce your right nostril? No. They always work in harmony with each other. Your upper and lower lips always operate in oneness and remain eternally together. Do you think that your right ear will decide not to hear anymore and let the left ear do it all? (Never) (Laugher) If there is a sound which is unclear, these two ears will mobilize the entire head in order to catch that sound. What about your hands? When you clap them together, do they protest and want divorce?</p>
<p>What about people? People who run to divorce courts all the time? Do their laps jump together for joy because they are divorcing? Actually our five senses do not have any concept of divorce. However, our body&#8217;s desire is the problem. Our bodily desire demands that our mind follow. This bodily desire is the king of individualism. The very name America has the connotation of a nation only caring about cars. Not people, not ideals, nothing but pride in cars. Even if you own a car, you need a driver and gasoline. America is presently out of gasoline. It is falling down to the bottom of Hell. America has no power.</p>
<h3 align="CENTER">Satan likes extreme<br />
individualism and privacy</h3>
<p>Where are all the American people heading? Who can liberate them from the treacherous path they are following? It is a painful situation. You Americans might feel uncomfortable because of Father&#8217;s words, but this is the truth. Do you feel good? (No) Americans in general are very proud of their extreme individualism and privacy. However, this is the very thing that will reduce you to tears. Individualism and privacy are the very things which will ruin America. If men and women both hold strong individualistic concepts, how can they create harmony and unification? Satan is very happy with this situation of extreme individualism. The free world is ignorant of this. If America is truly rotten and headed for Hell, we need to be medical doctors and have the medicine to inject in them to cure their disease. (Yes) What does &#8216;yes&#8217; mean? (We follow True Parents.) True Parents are not American citizens. When you proclaim to be followers of True Parents, the dignitaries and opinion makers of America persecute you. They call you crazy. We don&#8217;t need Moonies, they say, just the opposite of God.</p>
<p>We Unification Church members understand the concept of the Fall do we not? (Yes) Do we love the concept of the Fall or hate it? (Hate it) Why do you hate it? Because it is the destruction of absolute sex. Do you want changeable sex or unchangeable sex? (Unchangeable sex) Most of Americans don&#8217;t agree with you. You are a different breed. A breed not found in the secular world.</p>
<h3 align="CENTER">I am manufacturing true sons<br />
of God, many Reverend Moons</h3>
<p>What is the title of this morning&#8217;s message? Father has a very heavy schedule today. However, he has not even touched upon this title as yet. (Laughter) If he continues like this, you will all become so intoxicated that it will take all day. (Applause) What is more interesting, the content of Father&#8217;s message or Father himself? (Both) I don&#8217;t like that. Since True Father belongs to True Mother you cannot take True Father for your own sake. Therefore True Father is going to create another man, Reverend Moon, for women and another woman, Reverend Moon, for men. This is how you can remain with Reverend Moon for your entire lives. (Applause) This would be like a &#8220;true son producing company.&#8221; (Laughter) Do you like Reverend Moon&#8217;s home? (Yes) This home of Reverend Moon would be a manufacturing plant that would constantly be producing Reverend Moons. Therefore, no matter how handsome and capable any man might be, he still must pass through this factory in order to become another Reverend Moon. (Amen) Then the original Reverend Moon will give him the Blessing. Then you can have him.</p>
<p>Once they have passed through this manufacturing process, Father will give them the Blessing. Then together with their children Father will send them to their home towns. These second Reverend Moons become Blessed couples. Blessed couples are second Reverend Moons&#8217; production factory of true children. (Applause) Is this clear? (Yes) Centering upon the original Reverend Moon production factory, we now have branch factories throughout the world. All of them are operating to produce more Reverend Moons every minute. Do you feel good about it? (Yes) This is the kind of world that we call the Kingdom of God on Earth. The Kingdom of God is made up of &#8216;families&#8217;. Beginning with the true family country, true tribe country, true nation country, true world country, true cosmic country, and absolute love country. Which one do you like best? (Absolute love country) Sounds good. You women answered clearly. Every family is True Parents love factory family. The original, ideal, home factory family. Your Original Factory is cause. Second, result place. Cause and result connect, make one direction. Ideal atmosphere, reaching the Kingdom of Heaven. If you have understood this clearly then Father is in the position to learn from you.</p>
<p>This is the third day since Father celebrated his 77th birthday. So, when Father hears that you are absolutely confident in accomplishing this goal, Father feels happy to continue to share with you. If True Parents represent the Main Factory for producing True Children, our responsibility as the children of True Parents is to be branch factories. However, in terms of value we share equal value with Father&#8217;s main factory. Which is more ideal? Should our branch factories grow and become one thousand times greater than the main factory or should we remain a thousand times less? (Greater) True Parents family is in the position of the seed and the first cause. We are in the position of the second cause. The seed is one, but once it is germinated and grows into a big tree, then billions of seeds are produced. These seeds create the second cause. What is the relationship between the original seed of Reverend Moon and our seed? There is a relationship of cause and result &#8211; the first seed and the second seed. However, in terms of value they are equal.</p>
<h3 align="CENTER">We should fill the world<br />
with blessed couples</h3>
<p>This year Reverend Moon, the first seed, the first cause will officiate at the Blessing ceremony of 3.6 million couples. Can you reach that? (Yes) What is it about this 3.6 million couples Blessing that encourages us so much and makes us so enthusiastic? It is the way to build the Kingdom of God on Earth. Unless this entire planet Earth is filled with Blessed couples, we cannot claim that the world has been liberated and become the Kingdom of God on Earth. Do you understand? (Yes) The 5.5 billion people of the world are all separated and divided. Therefore, we should have enough Blessed couples to fill this entire world so that parents and children can have absolute unity. On this basis God can come down and work through everyone, just like our blood veins. Whomever God is working through, that is the Kingdom of God on Earth. This is what God and True Parents want to create this year.</p>
<h3 align="CENTER">God needs one point where His<br />
pure lineage and ideal begins</h3>
<p>There are many different nations in the world. [Father draws on the board] This represents all of humanity. This small circle represents Adam&#8217;s original family. [indicating to the board] The size has increased as history continued. Now we are in this modern world stage. Centering upon Adam and Eve there are eight different stages. Human history has progressed in this way. What kind of central figure do you want to become? Do you want to be a central figure for your family, tribe, society, nation, world or even beyond? (Beyond the world) Like whom? Like God. God cannot enter into relationship with this fallen world because there is no true love to be found here. There needs to be one point where God&#8217;s pure lineage and ideal begins and expands to where the entire world is filled with God&#8217;s lineage. Then God can come and dwell with humankind.</p>
<p>However, if the world is invaded by Satan to this degree [indicating to the diagram on the board] then God cannot enter into this portion of the world. Therefore, the whole world needs to be surrounded by God&#8217;s love. The providence of salvation is the providence of restoration. All of human history is the result of the human fall. In this fallen world the restoration has begun and eventually the whole world will be restored. In order to accomplish this God has to find the original man and woman&#8217;s position. In order to restore the original man and woman the law of indemnity has to be applied. To pay the proper indemnity we have to build all the different levels in order to restore everything back to God.</p>
<p>The secular world has already established a firm grip on every aspect of human life. However, throughout history there has been an expansion of various religious movements, always growing and developing. Political and secular leaders always have persecuted them and tried to eliminate them. Historically, all religions have had to deal with persecution from this secular world. The purpose of religion is to reach humanity with the truth. But Satan has always built fences around the nations to prevent this. This wall or barrier begins at the individual level: the war between our mind and body. Even between husband and wife there is often a certain wall or barrier. Among children, family to family, nation to nation and in the world, these barriers always exist. Even between God and this world there is a barrier, a dividing wall. Without the Fall there would be no such barrier in existence.</p>
<h3 align="CENTER">The fallen world came into being<br />
through the misuse of love</h3>
<p>God has never been able to interfere. Because this world of division came into being due to the Fall of Man through the misuse of love. There is only one man who can intervene and straighten this mess out and that is True Father, True Parents. This has been the desire and goal of every major religion. True Parents are the ones who know what God&#8217;s True Love is and what Satan&#8217;s fallen love is. Father stands in the position to grab hold of Satan&#8217;s neck and challenge him. Satan has to admit that he is responsible for creating this fallen world.</p>
<p>Then if True Parents ask God if He wants the exact opposite of this fallen world, God will have to agree that He does. Who can accomplish the desire of God? This fallen world came into being through fallen parents centered upon fallen love. Therefore True Parents come centered upon True Love to build the True World. In order to accomplish this what has to be done? We have to follow True Father by walking the way of indemnity &#8211; <i>Tan gam boki</i>. This means restoration through indemnity. Without going through this course there is no way to go up. We will continue to fall down. It is like being in a deep well with a ladder. As we try to climb up the ladder Satan always pulls us down again. We could not establish the foundation where we have absolute unity between our mind and body.</p>
<p>The distance between our mind and body has become so great, from the original Adam and Eve&#8217;s fallen position to this fallen world right now making one circle. That much distance exists between our mind and body. It can be an even greater distance from the individual level all the way to the cosmic level through the eight different stages. Without overcoming this we cannot return to the original position. This world has been created by false parents and false children. In order to restore this entire world back again we need True Parents and True Children. The Archangel is not in the position to have either a partner nor possessions. Do you understand? (Yes) In this archangelic world, in these Last Days there exists no concept of partnership. This is why so many couples live together as single individuals without marrying. This is the world we live in right now. They enjoy free sex in this world. But God wants to see absolute sex and absolute partnership between man and woman, not homosexuality, not lesbianism, no partnership.</p>
<p>Who originated the practice of free sex? Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, centering upon the Archangel. As it was sown, so it shall be reaped in the Last Days. Therefore we are witnessing this phenomenon in this fallen world now. In this society there are homosexuals and lesbians, this is Hell on Earth. The American family has been broken down through this kind of corruption. This is harvest time but Americans are so ignorant of this fact.</p>
<h3 align="CENTER">The pursuit of freedom without<br />
responsibility is a weapon of Satan</h3>
<p>Not even God can harvest out of America. Just as God was unable to interfere in Adam and Eve&#8217;s behavior, so He cannot harvest here now. Satan led all the way down to our time. Not even Satan wants to touch it now. This is the result of Satan&#8217;s activities so God cannot interrupt. It is true that no matter how powerful a nation may be such as America, it cannot solve the present situation which the world is facing. The former Soviet Union tried their absolute best to unite the world under communism but they failed. Now the democratic world is trying in their own way to unite the world through free election systems and such. But in every corner of the world where they have tried to assert influence, it has not worked. The entire world hates those politicians because they are liars. Free sex, alcohol, drugs, and tobacco are all the weapons of Satan. Also the pursuit of freedom without responsibility is another weapon of Satan.</p>
<p>We clearly know that this entire world is under Satan&#8217;s domination and influence. Through whom did we learn this? We learned this through True Parents who come with all the secrets of God and Satan so that we are able to protect ourselves in this decadent world. True Parents revealed all the secrets to us. Do you need True Parents? (Yes) Do you need True Parents in just one place or in every place all over the world? In one family or the whole humankind family? (Everywhere, Everybody)</p>
<p>We are living at the turning point or transitional period that the original mistake of Adam and Eve&#8217;s Fall has resulted in this fallen world right now that we are living. So True Parents finally came to this world as a blessing to humankind. Together with True Parents we are restoring our original lineage and right of possession. After the Fall everything was lost to Satan. Now we are reversing. We are restoring the realm of heart. [Father draws a diagram on the board] The realm of heart represented by the seven generations from Adam, the tribal unit, is now being restored. Based upon that tribal foundation we will reach for the people and the nation. Therefore Father is expecting tribal messiahs to take responsibility for their own tribes.</p>
<p>Didn&#8217;t all of you receive the Blessing? (Yes) Please remember, if True Parents are the first manufacturing plant then we are the second manufacturing plant. The meaning of receiving the Blessing is transforming the lineage and right of possession. The meaning of the providence of salvation and the providence of restoration is the state of restoration on one individual and family level to be connected to the entire world. We have to remember that had America, centered upon Christianity, united with Father as the Lord of the Second Advent right after World War II, then within seven years the entire world could have been restored. However, because of their failure Father had to begin from scratch which took forty years of wilderness course.</p>
<h3 align="CENTER">Korea must be unified before the<br />
world can be unified and restored</h3>
<p>If those eight million Christians had received Father as the Lord of the Second Advent after World War II, then Father could have blessed 800 million people within one week. It would not have needed even seven years. Maybe two or three years would have been sufficient. But because of their failure everything was lost. Father lost everything from the family that was supposed to become one with Father. The Moon tribe was supposed to have been united with Father. Even the Korean peninsula, South and North was supposed to be united with Father. The entire world which was supposed to accept Father as the Lord of the Second Advent &#8211; everything was lost and Father ended up standing in the wilderness. This is why Kim Il Sung appeared and came to North Korea in the Satanic true parents position. He blocked every road and way for Father to reach the people. The reunification of the Korean peninsula is a prerequisite to the unification and restoration of the entire world.</p>
<p>Look at the world now. Germany is unified and most of the countries in the world are unified, but the Korean peninsula is still divided. East and west is horizontal and north and south is vertical. Vertical side is not unified. The last thing is to make a peaceful foundation. Without that land we cannot build up God&#8217;s Kingdom. Everything was lost. God&#8217;s Kingdom of Heaven lost. Father&#8217;s hometown settlement, original hometown place. Therefore, Father initiated tribal and national messiahship.</p>
<p>At the time of Jesus, God sent Jesus down as the one to establish both tribal and national messiahship as the basis to build God&#8217;s Kingdom on the Earth. He had no nation, no tribe, no God&#8217;s True Love place. So Jesus went to Paradise, not Heaven. Heaven consists of tribes and nations, making one line to the Kingdom of Heaven. Now, Father is in God&#8217;s position on the Earth. He sent out national messiahs to 185 nations of the world. Jesus was not able to establish his own family. At this time, Father is sending out Blessed couples as national messiahs. Without the family God&#8217;s Kingdom cannot be built.</p>
<h3 align="CENTER">Christians suffered bloodshed because<br />
they lacked a national foundation</h3>
<p>During the 2000 years of Christian history so many Christians were murdered, such a long, long time of suffering, giving their sweat and their blood. This happened because their foundation was underneath the national level. Therefore Satan was able to attack them. This is the correct viewpoint of providential history. The Lord of the Second Advent comes representing True Love and True Love connects to the True Life Seed. After the Fall God lost his blood lineage. In order to return to that original point we need to deny ourselves and demonstrate absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience. No matter what difficulty Father faces, I will go in one direction forever. I don&#8217;t care what persecution I need to go over, I will fulfill my purpose. That is God&#8217;s love-attending place.</p>
<p>The conclusion of Father&#8217;s message to us is that we have all learned about the restoration through indemnity from the individual level through the eight levels to the cosmic level. Is there even one moment where we have completed our restoration through indemnity from the individual to the cosmic level? (No) We may understand the word indemnity. However, do we have any degree of completion of indemnity at any level? This previous diagram [indicating to the board] shows how the fall took place from Adam&#8217;s family all the way to the entire present world. Now Father is drawing another diagram to show the indemnity course. This is True Parents family [indicating to the board]; had the free world received Father as the Lord of the Second Advent, it would not have taken forty years. Rather right here [indicating on the board] is the point where Father could have expanded the true family and restored the entire world.</p>
<p>The period from the time of Adam and Eve to this point [indicating to the board] could be tens of millions of years. No one throughout human history clearly understood the process of restoration through indemnity. Over and over as champions of each age failed, God had to begin this restoration through indemnity course again and again. This took tens of millions of years up to this point. In Adam&#8217;s family there was Eve, Cain and Abel. During World War II Great Britain, France and America represented these three figures of Adam&#8217;s family. Great Britain, as an island country, represented Eve. The ocean symbolizes women. Therefore the island nation of Great Britain represented Eve who was female. Usually people from island nations desire to land on the mainland. Great Britain gave birth to America which stood in the position of Abel. France was always at war with Great Britain and even America. Therefore France stood in the position of Cain. Cain always fights Abel and also Eve.</p>
<h3 align="CENTER">Christianity lost the physical foundation<br />
because of the crucifixion of Jesus</h3>
<p>Christianity actually lost the substantial body because of the crucifixion of Jesus. Therefore right after World War II Christianity had a spiritual body. If the Israelites and Judaism had accepted Jesus as the Lord, then the other major religions already prepared by God in various parts of the eastern world, could have been mobilized with the help of the spiritual world and conquered the Roman Empire without much difficulty. Because Jesus came as the bridegroom. This bridegroom&#8217;s status was taken away in the Garden of Eden at the time of Adam and Eve. At the time of Jesus, this position was lost once again. Following World War II Father came as the Lord of the Second Advent as well as the bridegroom to the entire Christianity. These three nations, Great Britain, America and France should have received True Father as their bridegroom.</p>
<p>The axis countries of Japan, Germany and Italy represented the body of Jesus Christ. Whereas Great Britain, America and France represented the mind of Jesus. True Father came as the Lord of the Second Advent or bridegroom to the entire world in order to unite these two different worlds. In Adam&#8217;s family they split. In the Last Days the True Parents have to unite them. Actually at the time following World War II world unification could have been established. The axis countries tried their best to eliminate the mind of Jesus Christ which was represented by Judaism, Jews and Christianity. Spearheaded by Hitler, millions of Jews were killed at this time. Originally, centered upon the Lord of the Second Advent, world unification should have taken place here. [indicating to the board]
<p>Directly after 1945 Father could have held mass weddings throughout the entire world centered upon true love. This would have broken down many boundaries and walls created by Satan throughout the world. All humankind would have become God&#8217;s and True Parents&#8217; children. This would have meant unification all the way to Adam and Eve&#8217;s position. If only this free world had not chased Father out after World War II, then free sex and homosexuality would never have appeared in this world, not even in America.</p>
<h3 align="CENTER">The worldwide True Family will<br />
emerge from True Parents</h3>
<p>Now in this battlefield, once the axis and allied countries become united, then the allied countries will be in the position of Abel and the axis countries in the position of Cain. Based upon their unification the Lord of the Second Advent will descend as the bridegroom of the entire world and he will find his bride. With True Father and True Mother forming the true family, that family will be expanded to the world level.</p>
<p>After the Israelites and Judaism rejected Jesus and crucified him then the history of Christianity had to go through the persecution period of the Roman Empire and throughout history. Likewise, when the axis and allied countries rejected Father after World War II, then Father had to go out to the wilderness. Their rejection meant the loss of the worldwide foundation placing Father back in Korea. This took forty years to come out to the world. Bringing Jesus&#8217; body figure to the mind figure and uniting them again. Centered upon that foundation Father is now accomplishing the worldwide dispensation.</p>
<p>Jesus&#8217; body was lost in Asia. Therefore the world is now returning to Asia. We live in what is known as the Pacific era. Centering upon True Parents, from the individual to the world level spiritually and physically Father&#8217;s influence and power is now felt throughout the world. Now, after forty years of Father&#8217;s incredible sacrificial work, the Pacific era is dawning again.</p>
<p>Within True Father&#8217;s family there are children from two different mothers. Because of this wilderness course Father lost everything in a way. Just as Father had to go through the wilderness course when he lost his first wife through divorce, now the entire world is experiencing the same thing through the breakdown of families. It completely lost God&#8217;s True Love family center. God&#8217;s value system was lost.</p>
<h3 align="CENTER">Father had to restore 4000 years<br />
of history in 40 years</h3>
<p>The bride culture is the world of Christian culture. The bride wants to meet the bridegroom. The Marriage of Lamb was to take place. [Father draws on the board again] Because Father was chased out into the wilderness, he had to indemnify this 4000 years of history. On eight different levels from the individual to the cosmic level. This forty years represents 4000 years of history. It was lost and Father had to restore everything. God could not help him. God could support him, but Father had to do this single-handedly. Centering on his own family, Father had to go through the eight stages.</p>
<p>On his individual level the blessing had to be achieved here [indicating to the board]. Then from that point on he could expand to the world. You do not have any idea what kind of course the restoration through indemnity is. This indemnity course is placed between God and Satan. Father had to juggle between God and Satan, Father had to bring God down and kick Satan away. That has been his life for forty years. But Father himself cannot live for 400 years, let alone 4000 years. Therefore, he had to indemnify this period within 40 years.</p>
<p>The Second World War ended in 1945, but within seven years everything could have been established. But due to the opposition of Christianity and the free world Father lost this seven year period. If we count from 1952 and add forty years, it becomes 1992. In that year, Father&#8217;s 40-year course was over. In the year 1992 True Mother was elevated to equal position with True Father. We lost the foundation of Christianity which stands in the position of the bride. Through True Mother we reached the American Congress and the United Nations through True Mother&#8217;s speaking tour. We also declared True Parents Day to the world. Men and women in the American Congress didn&#8217;t know what they were doing, but as you know Congress passed the resolution of Parents Day.</p>
<p>When True Parents Day is adopted by 185 United Nations member nations, then the world will be truly united. The national messiahs who have been sent out to 185 nations are working hard to have True Parents Day resolutions passed in their mission nations which eventually will be culminated in the United Nations and then world unification will come. Amen. (Amen) (Applause)</p>
<p>Once we accomplish our goal of the 3.6 million couples Blessing this year successfully, then this influence will be felt all over the world in 185 nations. Then our national messiahs will have this invincible foundation to work on. They will be able to pass this resolution of True Parents Day within their own nations. Eventually this will lead to the establishment of the Women&#8217;s United Nations, Youth United Nations and Student United Nations and will bring about the unification of the entire world. Amen. (Amen) (Applause)</p>
<h3 align="CENTER">Father is creating world organizations<br />
to bring about world unification</h3>
<p>That is why Father is creating Abel-type world organizations. If this present United Nations does not function properly to bring about world unification, Father is preparing Abel-type organizations such as the Island Nations Federation for World Peace, Peninsular Nations Federation for World Peace and Continental Nations Federation for World Peace just in case. At the present time, the politicians, who represent the body, are dominating the world, the mind. Father, who represents the mind of the entire world, will come to lead the entire world in the right direction.</p>
<p>The UN has presently complicated the system and is going down. The new Abel-type organizations which Father has created can go all over the system, connecting family-system and heavenly system. All over the system we can change the blood lineage, create filial piety, make patriots, saints and holy sons and daughters connecting to True Father. We will create this kind of value. Always, Father is making that kind of preparation, that kind of foundation. We have to follow God&#8217;s concept in leading the world. God cannot permit any other way. We have to lift up God&#8217;s Heart. Everyone of conscience can easily understand the wonderful and amazing things Reverend Moon is doing in the world.</p>
<p>The eight different stages from the individual to the cosmic level could not be overcome by anyone. Father alone established victory on these eight different stages. In the midst of Satan&#8217;s persecution, Father won the victory at each level. Wherever Father may go now in the world there is no more rejection. Even in America they beg Father to stay. (Applause) In Africa, they say don&#8217;t go home, Reverend Moon. What Father has accomplished in South America in this one year period is tantamount to the total work Father has done in America this past twenty years.</p>
<h3 align="CENTER">I revealed many heavenly secrets<br />
this year in South America</h3>
<p>Through various means of education Father revealed many secrets in South America during the past year or so. For example, Father declared to those ardent Catholics there that Jesus was supposed to get married and have many children. Father also told them that Jesus was an illegitimate son and that holy mother Mary made many mistakes. They were shocked but they could not argue with Father, because Father spoke logically. Those who studied the contents of Father&#8217;s message and Mother&#8217;s speech which was shared throughout the world last year, could not come up with any alternative solution.</p>
<p>Once it becomes a worldwide debating issue, from the elementary school student all the way to the very elderly man, all intellectuals will debate these issues. Then eventually they will go with Reverend Moon&#8217;s teaching in this twentieth century. In this century of modern technology and science no one would go with the old way of teaching. Father has absolute confidence because Father has clearly proved to himself and observed what was happening in South America while he was teaching this new truth to the top leaders, scholars, theologians, both Protestant and Catholic, and leaders from every walk of life down there. Father witnessed with his own eyes that they had no challenge to offer to Father. Because logically they cannot argue with this truth. Truth is truth! Therefore Father appears in front of you this morning with absolute confidence and commitment that this world is now coming closer and closer to world unification. Amen. (Applause)</p>
<p>This is our task now, to go over each of these eight different stages [indicating to the board]. This is our task. Are you confident that you can do it? (Yes) But you are in ignorance of how to do it. True Parents have set the example and showed the way how to accomplish this. Now you just have to be united and connected to True Parents. During this forty-year course which Father walked to indemnify 4000 years of history, Satan has mobilized every possible means to attack Father, to block Father&#8217;s way and to eliminate Father. Father, however, overcame each stage. Today Father is healthier and stronger than ever! (Applause) Does Father have a bad brain? (An absolutely good brain) (Laughter) Father knew from the beginning how much suffering and hardship God had to endure. Father&#8217;s secret was his desire to do what God has done. That was Father&#8217;s main secret.</p>
<p>From 1992 Father declared the liberation of women. In 1993 our motto was <i>True Parents and the Completed Testament Era</i>. In 1994 <i>The Safe Settlement of True Parents and the Completed Testament Era</i>. In 1995 <i>Let&#8217;s Inherit the Victorious Foundation of True Parents</i>. In 1996 <i>Let&#8217;s be Proud of True Parents and Love True Parents</i>. Under last year&#8217;s motto, when you loved and were proud of True Parents did anyone oppose you? (No) Finally, on the worldwide level, our time has come in this year of 1997. By accomplishing the 3.6 million couples Blessing this year the entire world will become God&#8217;s.</p>
<p>The way we can be proud of True Parents and Love True Parents is by accomplishing the 3.6. million couples Blessing. Once this 3.6 million couples Blessing is successfully accomplished, then even elementary school children will challenge their teachers saying: &#8220;When looking at this present rotten, decadent world I don&#8217;t see much hope. In the world I observe two kinds of marriage; one is marriage based on one couple at a time, but they often fail. On the other hand we see that Reverend Moon has married 3.6. million couples at one time and they are all good couples. Therefore which route should I take?&#8221; (Laughter)</p>
<p>Suppose the teacher would respond by telling that child that Reverend Moon&#8217;s way was the only hope. Do you imagine that the parents of that child would scold him for listening to his teacher&#8217;s advice? If so, do you think the child would follow his teacher or his parents? (Teacher) Even the parents would encourage their young children to follow the advice of the teacher because that is the right way. Do you think that the high school and college students who are ready for marriage are going to follow this new world heavenly trend? (Yes) Once the victory of the 3.6 million couples Blessing is established, if young people decide to marry without researching the Unification Church marriage, they will not flourish. Similar to fallen leaves in the autumn, they will become fertilizer.</p>
<h3 align="CENTER">From the year 2000, God will<br />
occupy the world with True Love</h3>
<p>The entire world will have to pay attention to the Unification Church wedding. Particularly teachers, professors and Ph.D. candidates will have to write their thesis on the Unification Church wedding ceremonies. Because unless they understand fully about the Blessing they will not be qualified to have the title of Ph.D. From the year 2000 centering upon True Love, God will be able to occupy the entire world.</p>
<p>Father now gives you the secret today, the only secret: Since True Parents already won the victories at eight different stages, our task is to overcome these eight different stages on our own. In order for us to win the same victories as True Parents we have to make sure that we hold on fast to True Parents. If True Parents go by boat, we have to hang on to their belt; if True Parents fly by Concord we still have to hold onto them even if our legs fly up in the air. (Laughter) No matter what, we have to make sure that we are united with True Parents and constantly follow in their path. Unification Church members have more wisdom than flies. If Father is flying by cosmic Concord, and we hang onto Father&#8217;s belt and land at the same time with Father and the fly is sitting on our back and yet we still land where Father lands before the fly does, then we are wiser than the fly! (Laughter)</p>
<p>When we board a plane to go to Korea from New York, we might see a fly in the airplane and we can ask the fly &#8220;where are you going?&#8221; Then the fly might answer &#8220;I am going to Korea.&#8221; (Laughter) Then the fly may say to you, &#8220;Where are you going?&#8221; and you can say, &#8220;I am going to the Kingdom of Heaven!&#8221; (Applause) Do you have a clear understanding of Father&#8217;s message this morning? (Yes) If Father goes to Africa will you follow him? (Yes) If Father asks all Unification Church Members in America to go to Uruguay tomorrow, then when everyone lands in Uruguay the entire nation of Uruguay will immediately be filled with unification. Can you American women do that? (Yes) Do you have confidence? Really?</p>
[Father addresses one American sister in the crowd] Here we have such a beautiful girl, with beautiful eyes and beautiful lips. Maybe God wants to meet her and have her become his most beloved daughter. Would you like that? (Yes) Really? (Laughter) If she happened to be a young oriental girl and Father were to address her directly in this way, at such close contact she would surely blush. But since this girl is a western sister she is still calm. That is okay. (Laughter)</p>
<p>The meaning of this morning&#8217;s topic, <i>Our Responsibility as the Children of True Parents </i>corresponds with our original ancestors in the Garden of Eden. When God created Adam and Eve there was only one commandment that God gave to them. Do not eat of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. They needed to demonstrate absolute faith, love and obedience to that commandment from God. However, they did not. When God gave that commandment to Adam and Eve He already had the foundation of absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience. Upon that foundation God could give that commandment in the position of subject to His objects. But Adam and Eve did not follow God&#8217;s standard of absolute faith, love and obedience. Therefore God lost His love partner. We now live in the time when we have to restore the mistake of Adam and Eve. This means that we have to demonstrate absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience in order to accomplish the task that is upon our shoulders. In order to do this we have to grab hold of True Parents&#8217; belt and go with them all the way to the end. Then we will accomplish our mission: the building of the Kingdom of God on Earth. Amen. (Amen) (Applause)</p>

<h3 align="center">TRUE PARENTS&#8217; BIRTHDAY<br />
MAIN CEREMONY</h3>
<h3 align="center">February 13, 1997<br />
World Mission Center<br />
Translator Peter Kim</h3>
<p>By sharing these rice cakes with True Parents this morning, we have to make sure that our minds and bodies become one. Also between husband and wife there should be absolute unity. Between families, nations and the world, absolute unity should be obtained before sharing this precious food with True Parents. As Blessed couples we offer Pledge service with our families. After the Pledge service we are supposed to share holy food among our family members.</p>
<p>Originally, Adam and Eve, without the Fall, were supposed to share this kind of food with their family members, centered upon God. But due to the Fall this did not take place. Therefore, as Unification Church Blessed couples, we are the ones who are doing the will of God which was originally the responsibility of Adam and Eve&#8217;s family.</p>
<h3 align="CENTER">Pass on the tradition of Pledge<br />
service and sharing the holy food</h3>
<p>Through offering the Pledge service every Sunday morning and sharing the holy food, we have to learn how to become united among our family members. Then upon this foundation we have to expand this unity to the level of the tribe, nation and world. It is our mission to spread this kind of tradition to the entire world. As Unification Church Blessed couples we are supposed to be longing for each Sunday morning to arrive. Because that is the day that we can worship God and offer our Pledge to God and share this holy food. By doing so we can expand our territory and expand our tradition, centered upon God, to the whole world. This Sunday Pledge service when we bow to God was originated by True Parents. Every Sunday we offer this Pledge service together with True Parents, whether we are with them physically or not. How precious it is.</p>
<p>As parents we have to make certain that we bequeath our tradition to our children and to their generation. Through the Sunday morning Pledge service we have to demonstrate to our children how much we respect our True Parents. Through this our children will learn how to worship and treasure True Parents so that the tradition can be handed down and inherited generation after generation. It should be our most earnest desire to keep this tradition in our family, worshipping together and offering Pledge service every Sunday morning with our family, centered upon True Parents. This is a most precious tradition.</p>
<p>No matter what our circumstances or where we might be in our daily lives, we should always remain faithful to maintaining this kind of tradition centered upon True Parents. Even if we are unable to physically do the Sunday Pledge service because we are up in an airplane or something, we should remember that particular moment and spiritually set that kind of tradition.</p>
<p>On each major holiday we gather and celebrate these holy days in almost exactly the same way. Many of you fly thousands of miles in order to attend this ceremony. What is the significance? That is the question. We have to understand that when we go our separate ways and return to our missions, usually our minds and bodies are divided, people are divided, there is conflict throughout the world. However, whenever this kind of major holy day comes, we know that we have to cleanse ourselves internally and externally. Then we attend this ceremony and we build our unity and harmony horizontally as well as vertically with True Parents, centered upon God. That is the significance.</p>
<h3 align="center">Rebuilding the original world<br />
through indemnity</h3>
<p>It is miraculous that through paying appropriate indemnity, we are the ones who are now in the position to build this relationship with True Parents centering on God. And through this, to restore the entire world, from the family, tribal, to world levels. But when God originally created Adam and Eve they were the ones who were meant to build the ideal family, nation and world. But because they failed, we are now in the position to pay indemnity. We have the privilege of being with True Parents to build the original world in the place of Adam and Eve. It is your greatest honor to attend these Unification Church major holy days as the representatives of your tribes and nations at this kind of ceremony.</p>
<p>We stand in the position to prepare ourselves for months, sometimes one whole year, through taking cold showers and other conditions in order to cleanse ourselves to be able to attend this kind of ceremony. By doing so we should be able to bequeath this kind of tradition to our coming generations.</p>
<p>It is also important for us that we should prepare our offering. Not just overnight. Rather we should take months in order to prepare our offering. Even if it means skipping meals and not buying good clothes. Whatever we sacrifice in our lives we can save money out of that and prepare our offering. Then that offering will be used to develop our public missions.</p>
<p>In the Old Testament the laws and commandments were incredibly strict. The next stage was that of the New Testament and now we live in the age of the Completed Testament. True Parents have completely liberated us from these many restrictions and laws. Therefore, our Blessed couples are in the position of offerings. True Love is our motto. True Love is the way that we reach the Kingdom of Heaven. True Love is the way, means and purpose of our lives. Once we are centered upon True Love then all things belonging to us become holy things. When a mother gives birth to a child, she never feels dirty when she has to touch her baby&#8217;s waste. We should have that kind of heart and love towards the entire world. That is truth.</p>
<p>During the Old Testament era they usually shed the blood of an offering and then burned the offering. In the New Testament era, through offering ourselves as children, we were waiting for the True Parents. Now that True Parents are here, we should be able to offer everything through True Parents as a holy offering. Then True Parents will offer these holy offerings to God. That is how all created beings will be liberated. That is the order.</p>
<p>We must understand that the Lord of the Second Advent was supposed to come in glory. He was supposed to be received by every human being with praise. However, in reality, the Lord of the Second Advent has been receiving an incredible amount of persecution and mistreatment at the hands of this world. This is the greatest tragedy of humankind.</p>
<h3 align="center">Those nations which mistreated<br />
True Parents will be ashamed</h3>
<p>The countries responsible for persecuting True Parents, and in particular those countries who imprisoned True Parents, will be remembered as shameful nations in human history. Particularly the countries of North and South Korea, Japan and America. These countries are the worst places from God&#8217;s viewpoint. These countries are all now experiencing difficulties. The family breakdown is rampant in this nation of America, for example. Particularly in America and Japan the problems of youth are now uncontrollable. It is equivalent to the time of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden once they fell.</p>
<p>True Parents came to this world in order to restore true sons and daughters, a true family for God. But instead of welcoming True Parents the central nations persecuted True Parents. These are the countries that must repent. True Parents&#8217; central mission is to establish God&#8217;s true sons and daughters and true family on the Earth. However, these three major providential nations have only persecuted True Parents. Now is the time when the Unification Church will be lifted up and these nations will decline into a miserable situation. The families in the nations of Korea, Japan and America are problematic now. We could say that Korea is the worst country. Japan and America are also terrible. Here in America we find so much organized crime; Chinese Mafia, Korean Mafia.</p>
<p>True Father is not an ordinary individual. Rather, True Father is connected to the thousands and thousands of years of human history. The culminating point of the whole history of humankind is True Father. Originally, the Christian culture represented the bride culture which was supposed to create the family culture. Therefore, you have to understand how precious is the position of Blessed couples. They represent the entire universe. That is why Satan has been desperately trying to eliminate True Father. It is amazing that we could have a special ceremony entitled <i>The Safe Settlement of the Family Federation for World Peace and Declaration of Liberation of Indemnity </i>on November 1, 1996 in Uruguay. By True Parents&#8217; declaration at this ceremony last November, Satan&#8217;s efforts to destroy all Blessed couples from True Parents downward, has now been eliminated.</p>
<h3 align="center">True Parents&#8217; mission is<br />
at the worldwide level</h3>
<p>One major difference between Jesus and the Lord of the Second Advent is that Jesus came to establish the national level sovereignty, but True Parents represent the entire world. Therefore, Blessed children are in the position of national messiahs. When they are at the national level Satan can still find reasons to criticize and attack them. But once the Lord of the Second Advent is at the worldwide level Satan cannot do any harm to them. That is why our Blessed children are still vulnerable to Satan&#8217;s attack, as they stand at the national level only. Because of the vulnerability of this Blessed children&#8217;s level, True Father can still be indirectly attacked. But not directly.</p>
<p>Jesus was supposed to have established his family which could have supported him and assisted him to become the national level messiah. Then eventually he could have conquered Rome which represented the entire world. However, this did not happen. Because of this failure Satan put Jesus on the cross and killed him. Now, at the time of the Second Advent, True Parents have laid a strong enough foundation which Satan cannot destroy. Also True Parents have accomplished each level of their responsibility. This is why True Parents now stand at the worldwide level. Also True Parents have brought unity among the chosen nations of Korea, Japan, America and Germany. That is why Satan is unable to attack True Father directly. Even if Father does not have this family level foundation, Satan still cannot destroy Father. Because Father is now standing at the worldwide level. Father has the national level already. Under God&#8217;s direction Father has established this foundation.</p>
<h3 align="center">Father restored the lost foundation<br />
of eight stages in forty years</h3>
<p>We have to remember that Father is the one who has been going through these eight different stages for the past forty years single-handedly. Without Father&#8217;s accomplishment in this regard, nothing could have been done. Satan cannot occupy Father&#8217;s position. The forty years&#8217; history of the Unification Church centering upon True Father, has been the course of being hit first and then claiming ownership. This has been Father&#8217;s strategy. By doing so Father has been carrying all the Blessed couples along with him. The Blessed couples&#8217; families have been cut off from the Satanic root and engrafted into True Parents and are following this heavenly way. The blessing ceremony is the engrafting ceremony. It began with 3 couples, then 36 couples, 72 couples, 430 couples, 777 couples, 1800 couples, 6000 couples, 6500 couples, 30,000 couples and 360,000 couples. These different stages of blessing history were created by True Father.</p>
<h3 align="center">The restoration of Elder Sonship,<br />
Parentship and Kingship</h3>
<p>The Old Testament and New Testament history represented the entire spectrum of the restoration of Elder Sonship. Upon that foundation we can begin the restoration of Parentship. After Father won the victory over communism, then True Parents and the Completed Testament Era was declared by True Parents. Through the demise of communism, True Father harmonized the democratic world and the communist world. In fact, after the demise of communism and the destruction of democracy all that will remain will be the True Family and True Children system, centered upon True Parents. That is what is happening now.</p>
<p>No nation in the world is able to solve the family problems that are now rampant worldwide because Adam&#8217;s family&#8217;s corruption is now being seen in the youth and family problems of today&#8217;s world. The only way to solve this is for individuals, families, tribes, nations and the world to have their center in True Parents. This can occur through Blessings. The establishment of true families is the answer.</p>
<p>Through declaring the Family Federation for World Peace last year, a new transitional time period began. The conclusion is that True Parents are the only ones who can solve the family problems worldwide. These are now the Last Days.</p>
<h3 align="center">We inherit True Parents&#8217; foundation<br />
through tribal messiahship</h3>
<p>This is like the time when the Israelites were supposed to come out of slavery in Egypt. No matter how difficult their situation might have been, it was their responsibility to inform their tribal members to leave the country at the same time. That kind of responsibility is upon our shoulders right now. We have to make sure that our tribal members receive this truth. This is the time when we have to make sure that all of our tribal members participate in this year&#8217;s Blessing. Even if they don&#8217;t want to come, it is still your responsibility to convince them to come to the Blessing. Because once they participate in the Blessing their attitude will be completely changed.</p>
<p>Satan has been shedding the blood of God&#8217;s children for thousands of years in order to prevent the establishment of the true family. But we live in the Age of True Parents. This is a golden opportunity for us. We don&#8217;t need to shed our blood. We just have to do our absolute best to bring our tribal members into this Blessing. If we cannot accomplish this we will regret it. No matter how difficult it may be, you have to make this substantial foundation. This is the mission of Blessed couples. Especially American families. The American families are more troublesome.</p>
<h3 align="center">We must cleanse ourselves for months<br />
before coming to this holy ceremony</h3>
<p>Even before coming to a holy ceremony such as this, some of you may wander around the night before and go and drink in a bar. Then you casually decide that you have some money and so therefore you can offer something when you come here. With that kind of miserable attitude you are certainly not worthy to come here. Is there even one of you here who has prepared yourself for months and even years, cleansing yourself from head to foot in order to be prepared to attend this holy ceremony? God has been preparing Himself for millions of years to have this kind of holy day. Can we lower God&#8217;s holy standard? No, we absolutely cannot.</p>
<p>When doing our mission we cannot take a break when God does not take a break. Can we claim vacations when we are missionaries for God? We don&#8217;t have our sovereignty yet. All families are still under satanic control. Therefore, no matter how difficult it may be, you have to liberate your family and nation. No Blessed family has that unchangeable, unique, eternal site yet. You know this to be true. Therefore, how can you build the Kingdom of Heaven? Without the establishment of the true family site, the nation has no foundation. This is clear. None of you are able to deny this. We need absolute families and absolute nation for God. No Blessed couples have this absolute individual, family and tribal base yet.</p>
<h3 align="center">Our lives should elevate<br />
God and True Parents</h3>
<p>You cannot attend this kind of holy ceremony with the same attitude that you have when going to a drinking bar, or on vacation. Your attitude in attending this kind of ceremony should be more serious than if you were going to see your dying parents and children. Father is now clearly warning you all on this his 77th birthday. We have to realize how hypocritical our life of faith has been. When a mission is given to us we carry that mission upon our shoulders. We have to ask ourselves if we have been successful enough to push that mission even higher so that we can carry True Parents and God to an even higher position instead of being crushed by the weight of our mission. If we cannot become such people then we will eventually become extinct.</p>
<p>Do we all have holy salt? (Yes) The world where we have to use holy salt is not the Kingdom of God. We have to create the world where we don&#8217;t need holy salt. Such a world has not yet appeared. At the time of the holy matrimony of True Parents, actually True Parents could have excluded the entire world except for themselves, because the rest of the world was so stained and dirty. Apart from True Parents there was no one else who was qualified to exist. However, True Parents could not do that. The rest of humanity had a different lineage. Through celebrating the major holy days and holy ceremonies we are still trying to turn ourselves towards the heavenly lineage of God.</p>
<p>We really have to seriously and clearly understand the significance of the holy days: True Parents Day, True Parents Birthday, Day of All Things, Children&#8217;s Day and God&#8217;s Day and all other major holy days. Father has been so serious in order to be able to announce these major holy days throughout these years. We have to live up to the expectation and standard of True Parents. However, when we look at ourselves we are in fact like garbage. True Parents cannot become like us. True Parents have the responsibility to reindemnify and restore the foundation that Adam and Eve destroyed by their fall. Father has been walking the path of restoration and indemnity these many years with confidence and showing his smile. That is why Satan could not attack Father.</p>
<h3 align="center">Father&#8217;s life course has been one<br />
of blood, sweat and tears</h3>
<p>Father has been teaching us with the body of parents, shoes of the servant, with sweat for Earth, blood for Heaven and tears for humankind. That has been Father&#8217;s life course. By doing so Father has set the example of how to become sons and daughters of filial piety, patriots, saints and holy sons and daughters of God, centered upon True Love. Without True Love nothing can be connected. Even though we know that this formula has existed, can we claim that we have really paid indemnity on the individual, family, tribal and national levels?</p>
<p>God gave the commandment to Adam and Eve not to eat the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Now True Parents are giving this warning to you the children. Once a person has absolute faith, absolute love, and absolute obedience how can anyone dare to eat the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil? We have to understand that when God first gave the commandment to Adam and Eve He didn&#8217;t give this commandment without practicing that standard Himself. God already applied this standard when He created the entire world and Adam and Eve. Upon that foundation He gave that standard to Adam and Eve so that they could become the love partner to God.</p>
<p>Father gave the Declaration of Absolute Faith, Absolute Love and Absolute Obedience in Brazil a few years ago. By so doing, Father initiated the second generation forty-years course era. Through this, God and Father want to make sure that through offering absolute faith, love and obedience, we build the original family and world which Adam and Eve lost because of their fall in the Garden of Eden. That is the key. Just as God gave the commandment to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, in this Completed Testament era True Father is giving us warning to have absolute faith, love and obedience to God and True Parents. Without being equipped with this absolute standard of life we cannot enter the Kingdom of God.</p>
<h3 align="center">Blessed husbands are in the position<br />
of restored Adam, not Archangel</h3>
<p>Blessed husbands are in the position of restored Adam not Archangel. Since we are in the position of restored Adam and True Parents are in the position of God, when this kind of warning comes from True Father then no matter how difficult it may be for you to follow this direction, we absolutely must do it. As restored Adam, you must continue to restore your relatives and tribal members. There are two different types: the Cain and Abel type or the Archangel and Satan type. Your mission is to unite them. That kind of significant mission is upon your shoulders. We don&#8217;t need the 3.6 million couples Blessing. Centering upon the restored Adam&#8217;s family we should be able to restore two Archangel families to make our environment there. Then the satanic world would disappear. The satanic world is always opposing and attacking to prevent this coming about.</p>
<h3 align="center">Those in the spiritual world can now<br />
receive the marriage Blessing</h3>
<p>From 1992 Father could finally bless 30,000 couples and by doing so now on the worldwide level this vertical journey started at the growth stage. The 360,000 Couples Blessing represented the growth stage. This year the 3.6 million couples will represent the worldwide level perfection stage vertical course. By doing so Heaven and Earth will be connected. Because of this condition all 360 degrees to this entire world is now open. There is no blocking. There is a vertical connection between Heaven and Earth and so people in the spiritual world can receive this Blessing also. Because of this condition, at the time of the 3.6 million couples Blessing, Father will allow Heung Jin Nim to exercise Blessing in the spiritual world. This means that all those people who have not entered the Kingdom of God can now receive Blessing in the spiritual world. Then they can stand behind Heung Jin Nim and can eventually enter the Kingdom of God. That is the course of restoration through indemnity.</p>
<h3 align="center">The family unit is required to<br />
enter the Kingdom of God</h3>
<p>Originally, Adam was supposed to be on top and the Archangel at the bottom, but because of the Fall of Man the order became reversed. Now True Parents have made it right side up. That is why we are the ones who have to be absolutely united with True Parents with the standard of absolute faith, love and obedience. That is the only way that we can be connected to True Parents and God. Also it is the only way that we can eventually enter the Kingdom of God, by following True Parents. It requires a family unit to get into the Kingdom. Centering on God, morning, noon and night, loving God, talking to God, 24 hours a day. There is no other way except to follow True Parents with absolute obedience. This is my conclusion this morning. We must understand this.</p>
<p>True Father is now 77 years old. No one knows how hectic and busy Father&#8217;s schedule was last year. Each time Father gave a heavy mission to leaders they were struggling in their minds. However, they constantly followed Father and now after everything is done they realize that this is the way it should have happened. Father has not found one son among us who is just like Father, a son who would say, &#8220;Give me more responsibility. I will do even more than what you ask me to do.&#8221; None of you have really understood the course of indemnity because none has paid the proper indemnity in order to do the mission. That is why we have no other choice but to stand behind Father and hold onto the string which originates from Father. Some of us are 1,000 miles apart from Father but are still hanging onto this rope.</p>
<h3 align="center">Those who come after you<br />
may surpass you</h3>
<p>There are ardent Christians who do not know Divine Principle yet, but once they clearly understand True Father&#8217;s teaching how eager and enthusiastic they will be to come and follow and work with True Parents. You stand in the position to lead those people and even be ahead of them, but you are not worthy because you have not done this yourselves. Therefore, if you continue to trail behind like this, eventually the order will be reversed.</p>
<p>On this significant 77th birthday of True Father you are being given this warning. This is the turning point, the transitional period when we have to make sure that we give absolutely everything to God and True Parents, following them with the standard of absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience. Even if it requires us to sell our homes and everything that we have and sacrifice our families and entire tribes to do so, we have to make sure that we are with True Father, no matter what. We have to be determined and have conviction that we will hang onto True Father throughout our whole lives.</p>
<p>Those who clearly realize that they have received the Blessing, raise your hands. What kind of Blessing do you belong to? True Blessing, mediocre Blessing or the worst Blessing? (Truly absolute Blessing) (Laughter) It is easy to say absolute, but then why do you laugh? It is not a laughing issue at all. By hearing True Father&#8217;s words this morning can you imagine how serious True Father&#8217;s life has been? It is not a children&#8217;s game. Father has been building the railroad tracks and the railroad cars in order to carry all of humanity and the entire dispensation. This has been an extremely difficult life Father has lived.</p>
<p>We do not truly understand indemnity. Therefore we need True Father and we have to hang onto him. The second generation is not an exception to this. The second generation children in Korea who choose to go to other universities rather than to Father&#8217;s Sun Moon University will be separated from the second generation who follow Father&#8217;s direction to study at the Sun Moon University. Even if you graduate from Harvard or Yale universities Father doesn&#8217;t care. Some of True Children study and graduate from Harvard, but Father directs them to go attend the Unification Theological Seminary eventually. The goal of True Children going to these Ivy League schools is so they can understand the satanic world first. Then by doing so lay the foundation in the physical world, then go to the Unification Theological Seminary and study.</p>
<h3 align="center">The time is coming when True Parents<br />
will not give the Blessing directly</h3>
<p>The Blessing will no longer be given by True Parents after the 3.6 million couples Blessing. The time is coming when True Parents will not bless anyone anymore. Then your children will surely complain to you because they will want to receive the Blessing from True Parents directly.</p>
<p>Let us make sure that we are absolutely united with True Father. The course of indemnity is not a random formula, but rather it is extremely scientific and tight. In Father&#8217;s family he was the second son. When Father was born the entire tribe of Father was incredibly attacked. All manner of accidents took place. The invisible Satan appeared and exercised physical power in order to destroy Father&#8217;s family at the time of his birth. The elder brother of Father suddenly became crazy, Father&#8217;s elder sister also suddenly became crazy. In the year that Father was born, five out of 13 family members died. There is no exception to the law of indemnity.</p>
<p>In Father&#8217;s children&#8217;s generation the second son died by accident. Also Heung Jin Nim died by accident. Within the church membership, former President Eu died in the hospital. He was the second son of the three disciples. If not, the first son would just be naturally grabbed by Satan. By the same principle Ye Jin Nim and Hyo Jin Nim are on the same hook right now. We are responsible to restore that.</p>
<p>Satan still continues to cling to the three nations of Japan, America and Germany because Father gave them a chance to be restored. Through this Satan is continually attacking Father. We have to overcome this hurdle. All three major nations are suffering with the breakdown of families and the problem of youth.</p>
<h3 align="center">Gays and lesbians will realize<br />
that they need families</h3>
<p>The Mafia tried to destroy Father but they have not succeeded. All those gays and lesbians will eventually realize that they need families also. They will probably be at the end of the line following Father in the future. God cannot subjugate this world situation right now, and Satan doesn&#8217;t have that right either. But True Parents alone have the authority and right to deal with this world&#8217;s problems right now. In the original Garden of Eden Satan&#8217;s evil seeds were sown. Now in the last days we have to cut them off, root them out and burn them in order to cleanse this situation. We are now harvesting evil fruits as a result of the evil that was first sown in the Garden of Eden. Now we have to engraft them onto the good tree so that good fruits can be harvested.</p>
<p>We have to keep our Sunday morning Pledge tradition. This is so very important and we must not forget that. Father has seen some second generation children who don&#8217;t know about Sunday morning Pledge service at all. Never even heard about it. How can we say that they are from Blessed couples? True Parents have been keeping this tradition for 40, 50, 60 years. As Blessed couples who received the Blessing from True Parents, can we comfortably sleep on Sunday morning while True Parents and other couples are doing Pledge service? Such lazy couples deserve punishment. Just think about how many thousands of years God has been waiting to celebrate this True Parents Day. The words &#8220;True Parents&#8221; are not simple words. If we research we will find it contains thousands of years of history of sweat and tears of God. The goal of creation for God was finding True Parents.</p>
<p>Do you consider True Parents as important as your relatives? (More important) Our life has been just for ourselves thus far. In order for us to be able to attend a holy ceremony such as this, we should do at least one day fasting a month and save that money and bring it as an offering. If this kind of offering money is collected Father will never spend it personally. That kind of offering would represent ourselves. By offering this small amount of money we are offering our entire body and mind. That kind of prayerful preparation is necessary.</p>
<p>We should prepare ourselves for an entire year by fasting and setting all manner of conditions and then finally when this holy day ceremony comes, we offer ourselves with a prayerful bow. Our daily life is so low that we cannot even reach any level at all. But because of these seven major holy days we have the privilege to bring ourselves up to the heavenly standard. These seven major holy days represent seven different bridges that can bring us closer to the heavenly standard, rather than on our mundane level.</p>
<p>We can judge ourselves as we follow these seven major holy days. Then we will see if Father is just about two steps above us or if we are 10,000 steps below Father. It is all up to ourselves. We have to sacrifice ourselves in order to come up closer to Father.</p>
<h3 align="center">It is fearful to come before God and<br />
True Parents unprepared</h3>
<p>Since the Kingdom is here with us, we have to be able to find our own course. This is a time of fear. But for those who have prepared themselves this is a time of peace and joy. Father is now sending all the national messiahs out to their mission countries even if it means separating from their wives and families. Some of the national messiahs are appealing to Father with the excuse that their country does not grant them a visa, so can they be taken off the list of national messiahs.</p>
<p>Even though the entire world is opposing Father he never compromises himself. Rather he continually marches forward. Yet, some of the national messiahs want to give up because their small country opposes their entry! There are many different ways to get around these obstacles. For example, during Jacob&#8217;s 21 year course, he came up with all kinds of strategies in order to please his uncle and accumulate his wealth. Then eventually he won the victory. By the same token, the national messiahs can find the way if they are truly desperate, directly or indirectly. National messiahs should have better strategy than Satan has.</p>
<p>Please understand that this kind of ceremony is a fearful place. If you are not properly prepared you will suffer. Your ancestors will come and attack you if you are not really qualified. Many who held critically important missions within the Unification Church died of cancer. Father&#8217;s heart is going out even to such people in order to cure their disease. In order to do so, Father himself experimented with the mugwort &#8220;moksa&#8221; treatment. Father realized that this treatment is effective. Now he is endorsing this method for the entire world through the national messiahs. On God&#8217;s Day in Brazil Father explained this method of treatment and made a gift to each national messiah of all the equipment in order to offer the mugwort moksa treatment in their nations.</p>
<p>Imagine that there may not be any more holy day celebrations with True Parents, but rather Father gives this right over to you so that you can hold this holy day ceremony with your own tribe. In order for you to prepare yourselves for that kind of time period, Father is giving you this kind of teaching this morning. You have to understand clearly. It is a serious issue and Father is telling you the truth this morning. Father is now driving the entire universe, spiritual and physical worlds, in one direction. Based upon the worldwide family scale, Father is going to give Blessing.</p>
<p>In order to achieve the goal of 3.6 million couples Blessing, each nation has been allocated a certain number of couples. Each nation must fulfill its responsibility in this regard. Probably the most advanced, rich nation will become the last in terms of fulfilling this responsibility. If this becomes the trend then those people who live within those countries will have to shed so much more sweat in order to achieve the goal.</p>
<h3 align="center">Father is working to restore Kingship</h3>
<p>From now on Father has to depart from us at the individual, family, tribal, national and worldwide level and go on in his own course to establish the restoration of Kingship successfully. The King cannot meet just anyone. That time is coming. Even leaders will not be able to see Father freely in the future unless they make an appointment and that appointment is granted. Father left Korean Christianity and he is now working on worldwide level Protestantism and Catholicism. Father no longer is dealing with the Korean national level Christianity. But rather Father deals with them at the worldwide level, South America representing Catholicism and North America representing Protestantism. Father can no longer concern himself with the family or nation, because Father has now completed all the necessary conditions.</p>
<h3 align="center">Even if Father were to hide, the world<br />
would come looking for him to lead them</h3>
<p>Now is the time that even if Father were to hide himself in a deep mountain, sooner or later the worldwide Christianity will come and find him and beg him to lead the unification of Protestantism and Catholicism. The time is here that even if the entire North and South Korean governments turn their back on Father, the entire population in the Korean peninsula, 70 million people, will eventually come and beg Father to lead the unification of the Korean peninsula. In terms of the conflict between the eastern and the western cultures, people will have to eventually come to Reverend Moon in order to solve this problem. Then from tomorrow on Father can take it easy and rest. Even if Father stops helping the South American church and other projects, eventually the world will be restored by Father. Don&#8217;t you think it is time for Father to rest?</p>
<p>All the nations have national messiah teams, plus Blessed couples are there. Father has bequeathed all that he has to those nations and members in the world. That means even without Father, God&#8217;s Will can be accomplished in this world. If Father stops working physically here, then the entire spiritual world will come down and work directly with us. Because once Father&#8217;s physical involvement ends, it means the entire spiritual world has to come down and replace that work. That kind of era is coming now. Our ancestors in the spiritual world are in the position to support restored Adam&#8217;s family based upon the Blessing from Heung Jin Nim. Then they will come down and eventually have to support us in the position of restored Adam in this physical world. Therefore, if we are not strictly following the truth, our ancestors will come and chastise us.</p>
<p>Throughout the entire world, how many of those who are above elementary school level have not yet heard about Reverend Moon at all? What do you think the percentage is? Above middle school age we can say that virtually everyone has heard about Reverend Moon in the whole world. While they do not understand the Divine Principle they are at the end of the line. But as soon as they understand Divine Principle they will become the first.</p>
<p>If Father had never exercised his right of giving the Blessing from the beginning then the amount of opposition from the world would certainly have been less. Because of the Blessing many thousands of parents became angry that their children were matched and married by Reverend Moon. That is how the opposition began. The interracial marriages that we have conducted caused a lot of opposition as well. Father knew that no Korean or Japanese parents would agree with him on this issue. But Father did it anyway.</p>
<h3 align="center">The future leaders of the world will be the<br />
mixed race offspring of Blessed couples</h3>
<p>When the time comes for Korea and Japan to be united as one nation, from which lineage do you suppose the leader will emerge? From this kind of interracial marriage lineage, the new national leader will appear. That is the formula actually. For example, when the time comes that Great Britain and France become one nation then one leader will have to be selected. Instead of selecting a strictly British or French leader, the new leader will more likely emerge out of this new mixed lineage. The same principle can be applied to the merging of any nations.</p>
<p>Father knew from the beginning of the Blessing history that in order to prepare the future world, even though there would be an incredible amount of persecution, he had to do so. Otherwise, there would be no way for Father to make preparation for the future. Here in America there are thousands of interracial couples who married outside of the Unification Church. But these couples are not actually maintaining a high standard of life. Eventually however when they recognize the value and standard of the Unification Family international, interracial couples, they will bow down and follow our couples. That will be the trend. In other words, these two extremes will meet and whatever was in between will naturally merge together.</p>
<p>We can now go out and declare to those international, interracial couples who do not have confidence in maintaining their married life, to come and join the Unification Family and your lives will be guaranteed. We can launch the campaign of receiving these international, interracial married couples into the Unification Family. That time is now coming.</p>
<h3 align="center">You are responsible to restore those living an<br />
immoral life and give them God&#8217;s Blessing</h3>
<p>If you have a younger brother or sister who is living an immoral life, what is your responsibility? You have to do your absolute best to restore them back again. This is truly the time of blessing and grace from God. Even if you have brothers and sisters who have lived the most terrible kind of life, in this precious era, if they learn the Divine Principle they can participate in this Blessing and be forgiven. Do you understand that this 3.6 million couples Blessing has the meaning of the liberation of the families of the world? (Applause)</p>
<p>If we have 3.6 million couples blessed, don&#8217;t you think that all kinds and types of people will make up that number? Robbers, swindlers and all kinds? A real mixed bag. If we have to deal with the individual crimes of each of these 3.6 million couples it would take tens of millions of years to cleanse them. But because of this particular time of grace and blessing, with one prayer from Father everyone will be cleansed. True Love power is the most formidable power on Earth! (Applause)</p>
<p>Once this True Love power is activated, even the strongest and worst of satanic love will be eliminated. The church leaders who officiated at the preparatory blessing services throughout the world have reported that no matter how unprepared people may be, all of them have changed greatly after the Blessing. Some of the wives of these couples have admonished their husbands after the Blessing saying, &#8220;True Father is my true elder brother now. If you dare to fool around again I will report you to my True Father.&#8221; This is truly the time of women&#8217;s liberation. (Applause) This is the way that you women can create ideal husbands.</p>
<h3 align="center">Husbands must allow their wives<br />
to follow God&#8217;s will</h3>
<p>As a woman, what position do you desire to obtain? Father&#8217;s elder sister, younger sister, or grandmother? (Laughter) Which one of these positions would you feel most comfortable in with True Father? (Younger sister) How about your husbands? (Younger brother&#8217;s position) Archangel&#8217;s position. You husbands must understand that no matter what direction Father gives to your wives you have to be happy. Because they are now in the position of True Father&#8217;s younger sisters. When you unite completely, then and only then will your wives return to you and take the position of your wives. In the Garden of Eden Eve was in the position of Adam&#8217;s wife. But that wife was taken away. In the time of restoration, even if your wife has a mission which separates you, you cannot complain. The Archangel cannot have a partner. We have to understand this clearly. Therefore, women from all over the world are being mobilized. The women are on Father&#8217;s side. They are like True Mother&#8217;s younger sisters.</p>
<p>Do you think that Father created this particular theory in order to please you or is this the theory of providential restoration? It is the formula. What is your preference, particularly you Western women. Do you want to follow your husbands, listen to your children, or be united with True Father? (United with True Father) But look at Father, his hair is a different color and his face is different. Are you still willing to follow him? (Yes) The Japanese movement has mobilized 22,200 Blessed wives, even though they have to leave their husbands and children. Their direction is to follow Father.</p>
<p>Would you Western wives do this? (Yes) Can you Western brothers accept this challenge? (Yes) Will you still be united with True Father even if your wife has to leave you? (Yes) Satan has done all kinds of tricks on this Earth throughout history. The restoration through indemnity is a serious matter. We have to have that kind of attitude. The time is here where we need the kind of condition where we don&#8217;t need men, women and children. That kind of condition is needed. The satanic world is claiming not to need husband, wife and children. But the heavenly side needs everyone.</p>
<h3 align="center">The time is coming when God<br />
will restore the whole world at once</h3>
<p>If there is a woman who has practiced free sex for many years prior to joining the Unification Church, but after joining the church she is matched to a virgin man and they become a couple, do you think that when they go through the Blessing that God will punish them? What do you think?</p>
<p>No matter how dirty and terrible an environment that Satan has created up until this point, when the time comes for God to restore the entire world at once, Satan even contributed to that purpose in a way, because the entire world will be restored at once. No matter what situation they may find themselves in.</p>
<p>We often hear from Father the meaning of the concave and convex relationship. When Father explains this to us do you think that God is pleased by Father&#8217;s explanation of the male and female sexual organs or would God be upset? (God would be happy.)</p>
<h3 align="center">Try your absolute best to<br />
become pure 24 karat gold</h3>
<p>Another way of interpreting Blessing is gold plating our sexual organs with 18 karat gold. Ordinary people cannot discern whether it is pure gold or not. Do you understand? Because there is no 24 karat gold sexual organ. What about the Lord of the Second Advent&#8217;s sexual organ? Do you think it is a pure 24 karat gold sexual organ or a 23.999 karat gold? Just by looking, all qualities of gold appear the same until they are thoroughly tested and examined. Isn&#8217;t that true? (Yes)</p>
<p>People go with all kinds of fake gold. It is okay even if it isn&#8217;t 24 karat gold. Many Western people don&#8217;t care about the quality of the gold in terms of their spouse. Even a gold plated sexual organ is fine for them. They don&#8217;t pay attention. This is the difference between Eastern and Western people.</p>
<p>Amateurs cannot discern just by looking if it is 18 karat gold or 24 karat gold. Of course God is not going to stamp you as pure 24 karat gold or 18 karat gold. Only True Parents have the right to place a stamp on whether you are pure 18 or 24 karat gold. Then you can be taken as pure gold and enter into the Kingdom. However, there is a catch; even if in quality you are not 24 karat gold, at least the color should be the same. (Laughter) That means that your family must resemble True Father&#8217;s life.</p>
<p>You must try your absolute best to become true pure 24 karat gold for the sake of your entire family and descendants. Eventually they should become 24 karat gold as well. This is the life of the Blessed couples. If some couples are only 14 or 18 karat gold you will go in the furnace again and become 24 karat gold. Make sure that you give the right and proper education to your children for the future of your generations.</p>
<h3 align="center">The suffering to harmonize an interracial<br />
couple will purify the descendants</h3>
<p>If you have five children and you are willing to offer them for international, interracial marriage, then your descendants will be purified in a much shorter time period, because they will have to go through much more heartache and suffering than ordinary couples. Perhaps you have five sons and your five daughters-in-law all come from enemy countries to one another. In order to harmonize and live together in one family is not easy. There is much suffering to go through.</p>
<p>Once you digest these five different nationalities and win the victory with them it means you have conquered five nations. When Father deals with the Unification membership he is dealing with the five different races of the world without any discrimination. Father deals with you all on an equal basis. That is why Father can fly from one corner of the world to another at will any time. There are no boundaries for Father. That is what is known as the Kingdom of God.</p>
<h3 align="center">We should be crystal clear<br />
in our conscience</h3>
<p>On this my 77th birthday I give you this clear explanation this morning. Before celebrating this holy ceremony Father sheds many tears, feeling like the sinner of sinners. This is Father&#8217;s serious preparation. If you are not properly prepared for this particular ceremony you will be attacked by Satan in some way. Because the law of indemnity still exists and it applies to Father&#8217;s life as well as our lives. When we turn 360 degrees we should not have even a speck of guilty conscience. We should be crystal clear in our conscience.</p>
<p>Who else in this world does the kind of work that we are doing? Out of the 33 nations in Central and South America can any head of state or religious leader have that vision? Father is the only one who went that far with that kind of sacrifice. Therefore God bestowed blessings upon Father. With this blessing from God Father could lay a strong enough foundation in South America within one year, equivalent to the foundation laid in America in the last twenty years.</p>
<h3 align="center">All humankind will have to unite<br />
with the Absolute Subject of Love</h3>
<p>When Father conducted the providence in America he began from the bottom up. However, in South America Father began the providence from top to bottom. It was easier. Out of the 480 million people in South America, none of them can compete with Father in terms of offering the sacrificial life, love and heart for the sake of the entire South America. Eventually all South American people will become united with Father because of this True Love. Father stands in the absolute subject position in heart so eventually all creatures, all humankind will automatically have to unite with the Absolute Subject of Love. Those who work harder and offer more will become the central persons in God&#8217;s providence.</p>
<p>When the national messiahs go to their assigned nations they need to go down to the bottom levels and serve. If they refuse to do so and just try and maintain their position, they will fail.</p>
<p>Only those who serve at the grassroots levels together with the local people and pour their hearts and love into their nations will become successful. They will become like fertilizer for those nations and they will become victorious.</p>
<h3 align="center">Focus on restoring 160 families</h3>
<p>In conclusion, Father is asking, what is this year&#8217;s motto? &#8220;Love True Parents and Be Proud of True Parents.&#8221; The fact that we established a family means we have sown a seed for the nation. The individual doesn&#8217;t matter so much anymore; what matters is the family unit. Father has been harvesting the family level seeds from all different races and continents all these years. But for us, we don&#8217;t even have to go out to the world. We only have to focus on our own tribes and neighbors and harvest these 160 families.</p>
<p>Your mission is only the territory of your relatives. How much easier it is for you compared to True Father&#8217;s course. You have absolutely no excuse. Those who have the confidence to fulfill your mission of accomplishing 3.6 Couples Blessing this year, show your hands. (Applause) Father is instructing all of us to make our absolute commitment to accomplish the 3.6 million Couples Blessing this year.</p>
<h3 align="center">Be willing to take the<br />
high and difficult road</h3>
<p>Suppose there are two individuals: One accomplishes his or her mission by fasting everyday, eating just one meal and pushing him or herself in the difficult path. The other individual accomplishes his or her mission by taking it easy and living the life he wants. When God looks at them, to whom do you suppose God would give His sympathy? (The first one.) You all like the easy life but Father likes hard work.</p>
<p>Therefore you have to take a good attitude from now on and take the high and difficult road in order to accomplish your mission. The easy life-style is no good. You have given your pledge to Father this morning that you will fulfill your responsibility of accomplishing 3.6 million Couples Blessing this year. Therefore Father will take it easy and relax because he trusts you.</p>
<p>After we achieve this goal this year, then even if Father passes into the spiritual world, Father&#8217;s will has been done. Once Father steps back from this providence and rests himself somewhere in the world, many of you will come and beg him to push you. But Father won&#8217;t do it anymore once that time comes. Once this Blessing foundation is made, your own physical parents will have to do the work. If the children work harder than the parents, that lineage has hope. Do you think that the second generation children should work harder than the first generation parents or less hard? (Harder)</p>
<p>This teaching we have received this morning is the gift from True Father on the occasion of this 77th birthday to all of us. The speech which will be given from 9 a.m. to our general membership is the very speech which Father gave on January 2 of this year in Sao Paulo, Brazil. In this speech, Father goes into a deep explanation of the heart of restoration and what our attitude should be. Those of you who need breakfast raise your hands. Only the persons who showed their hands should go take breakfast; the rest of you should go directly to the Grand Ballroom. (Thank you Father. Applause)</p>

<h3 align="center">February 13, 1997<br />
World Mission Center<br />
Translator &#8212; Peter Kim</h3>
<p>The providence of salvation is the providence of restoration which is equal to the providence of recreation. Of course, the providence of restoration is through indemnity. In this process there is a lot of waste. The meaning of the restoration through indemnity means that we restore the original place and position which was lost because of the Fall of Man. Therefore this means the process of recreation. Humankind lost the original creation which God made. So humankind has to recreate that original state. In order to do that we have to understand the principle by which God originally created.</p>
<p>One of the principles of God&#8217;s creation in the beginning was that God needed a love partner. However, in modern theology there is no such concept. God needing a partner? People do not understand that. We all are seeking love. We all have life. We all have lineage. In order to continue our lineage men and women contain sperm and eggs. We all have conscience within. But can we see life, love and lineage? No one can. Are you able to see your conscience? Even though these things are contained within you, still you are not able to see them. We cannot see them nor touch them. Why can&#8217;t we feel their existence? When we examine our body, in every square centimeter of skin there is one gravity. This kind of gravity is always upon us, but because of total balance we are unaware of this gravity. Our eyes continually blink and yet we don&#8217;t notice because we are totally one with this function. If we place our hand on our heart we can feel our heart beating. With a stethoscope it sounds like a bomb exploding. However, in our daily lives we don&#8217;t even notice that. Yet if Father were to touch one strand of Mr. Kim&#8217;s hair he will immediately feel that. The reason being that it breaks the balance. But because our heartbeat is in total balance with our body, we don&#8217;t even think about it for months at a time. Isn&#8217;t this true? (Yes) Where there is perfect balance you don&#8217;t feel any difference. When we put our palms together, and we put something in between, when it reaches the level of perfect balance you don&#8217;t feel anything in between.</p>
<p>Whom do you resemble? (God) Well, before talking about God, first of all you resemble your parents. In many ways we all resemble our parents, but we don&#8217;t feel that because we are one with them. We all have Love, Life, Lineage and Conscience within. The reason we often don&#8217;t feel them is because we are in total balance with them. These four aspects Love, Life, Lineage and Conscience resemble God. God Himself has Love, Life, Lineage and Conscience within Him. But because they are in total balance, then God doesn&#8217;t feel them either. It is logical to say that although God has Love, Life, Lineage and Conscience, He cannot feel the excitement, love and joy by Himself. That is why He felt the necessity to create His love partner. God wanted to experience the powerful stimulation of Love, Life, Lineage and Conscience. So He created His love partner.</p>
<p>God created the environment first in preparation for humankind. Without the four basic elements of sunlight, air, soil and water, nothing can exist on the Earth. If we take away sunlight, for example, life cannot be sustained. If we eliminate water, life cannot be sustained. Each one of them is necessary. If we look at this sister&#8217;s head, it appears to be a solid thing, but if we look inside it there is light, water, air and an element of soil. Within the environment there is always a formula of subject and object. Even within the mineral world the subject and object relationship exists, plus ion, minus ion. This is the formula. This is true within the plant kingdom, the same principle, stamen and pistil, the animal world, male and female and humankind, man and woman. All of us exist within the boundary of this formula.</p>
<p>The reason God created this entire world in the relationship of subject and object was because God wanted to see the achievement of the love relationship. The love relationship requires a subject and an object. Without subject and object we cannot expect to find the give and take action which creates the stimulating power of love. That is why, even in the mineral kingdom, there is always this power of give and take relationship. This give and take action creates a spherical motion which exists eternally, centered upon True Love. In the plant kingdom, the same action, stamen and pistil, having give and take, centered on True Love, make the stimulation of Love power, Life power, Lineage power, Conscience power, feeling everything, male and female connecting, centered on love, all connecting to God, the original root, vertically connecting. Horizontally, lower levels go up to high level places where the center is true humankind. All love is where total plus is man, total minus is woman.</p>
<p>When we look at the world of creation there are many different levels of subject and object relationships that occur. If there is a higher dimensional give and take action it will always absorb the lower dimension give and take action of subject and object. When we observe the plants and trees growing, they are actually absorbing the nutrients from the mineral kingdom. When they absorb the nutrients from the mineral kingdom then insects and animals, in turn, absorb these plants. Insects eat the vegetables and small birds eat the small insects. Larger birds, such as eagles and hawks, absorb the smaller birds. The same is true within the animal kingdom. Who is the king of the entire animal kingdom? Human beings. In fact, human beings are the most brutal of all because they kill animals and eat them. In this case, who is supposed to absorb human beings? God.</p>
<p>Darwin&#8217;s theory of evolution claims that the strong eat the weak. We may feel that to be brutal. If we stick with this evolutionary theory then the strong can always kill the weak and there should be no crime involved. However, that evolutionary theory does not contain the Principle or theory of creation. The ultimate purpose of all levels of creation is the original point of God&#8217;s Creation of Love, Life, Lineage and Conscience. This is true even for the mineral kingdom. Every aspect of creation, plant kingdom, animal kingdom and humankind all have the same goal, the same terminal point, which is the original point of God&#8217;s Life, Love, Lineage and Conscience.</p>
<p>However, there is a certain route, or process or ladder to reach that original point. Minerals cannot reach that point all by themselves. Rather, they have to go through plants, by being absorbed by the plants. The plants have to be absorbed by insects and small animals. Then small animals are absorbed by larger animals. The larger animals are absorbed by human beings. Then in theory they will become part of human beings and reach that final goal together with human beings. When minerals are being absorbed by the plants, the plants are in the position of plus and the minerals in the position of minus. The ultimate goal of the minerals is to reach that original point of God&#8217;s Love, Life, Lineage and Conscience. In order to be absorbed by the plant world they take many different forms: flowers, grasses, trees, fruits. Through this they feel proud to become a beautiful flower or delicious fruit in order to reach that original point.</p>
<p>In the same way, plants feel pride in becoming part of the animal kingdom which will lead them to that original goal. Within the animals, they desire to be absorbed by a higher being so that they can also reach that original goal. But if there is a choice, the animals will desire to be eaten by human beings because human beings have the most direct access to this goal. All aspects of creation desire to reach that original Life, Love, Lineage and Conscience palace. By doing so all of these animals, plants and minerals desire to become a part of human beings&#8217; sexual organs, which is the original Love, Life, Lineage and Conscience palace. How precious this place is. All these created beings, the minerals, plants and animals, are all being mobilized to complete this substantial portion of the Living God, which is our sexual organ, the ancestors&#8217; sexual organ.</p>
<p>There are two kinds of sexual organs: male and female. God originally divided the sexual organ into two, creating a little distance, so that their drawing together and meeting would be like an explosion. This is where the stimulating excitement would take place. This is what God wanted. Why were we given sexual organs? Because of Life, Love, Lineage and Conscience. Without going through that particular organ we cannot expect to have Life, Love, Lineage and Conscience. We all have these four assets within, but a woman alone cannot feel the excitement of these God-given assets. However, if the most ugly young man should appear and stimulate her assets of Life, Love, Lineage and Conscience then these assets would explode like an atom bomb in front of him. And if the boy happened to be handsome then the power of the explosion would be even greater!</p>
<p>In nature, we can observe the same phenomena. When it rains, what do we see? Lightning and thunder! That is the natural world. That is a marriage-like phenomenon in the world of weather. This is Nature&#8217;s way of marriage. Even though a man by himself as the subject has the assets of Life, Love, Lineage and Conscience within, nothing happens without his love partner, woman. In order for human beings to have all of this exciting and stimulating joy and pleasure, the entire creation, beginning with mineral, plant and animal kingdoms, are being mobilized for that purpose, stage by stage, ultimately in order to reach that ideal of God&#8217;s love. The ultimate purpose of any small mineral is to become a small element of the human sexual organ. No matter how insignificant its role may be, nevertheless that is its goal. Which was easier for God to create, our five senses or our sexual organs? In the sexual organs, God created love, created humankind, created lineage, created conscience and the second fruit, a baby. Without that, all of the world of creation would cease. Until now humanity has not realized that the sexual organ is the most precious place. The sexual organ is the truth factory. This is true for you professors also. What good is all your knowledge without your sexual organs?</p>
<p>This is enough for you today for Father&#8217;s birthday message. This really is the conclusion. (Laughter. Applause) However, there is one thing that we need to clearly understand. The subject does not exist for the subject. Man&#8217;s sexual organ does not exist for man. It exists eternally for his wife. There is absolutely only one owner eternally. Not two. Is that clear? (Applause) The woman&#8217;s sexual organ is absolutely only one, her husband. No power on Earth nor in Heaven can change this. Reverend Moon cannot change this. No matter how much power True Parents have they cannot change this. No matter how powerful God is He cannot change this. This is forever, unchanging power.</p>
<p>The sexual organ is the King&#8217;s owner place, palace of the Life King&#8217;s place, Love King&#8217;s place, Lineage King&#8217;s place, Conscience King&#8217;s place. The place connecting to all human history. Do you understand? (Yes) Do you clearly understand? (Yes) The owner of man&#8217;s sexual organ is absolutely, eternally his wife. Everyone has this kind of precious place. It cannot be exchanged by anyone. It is the number one precious place, place of number one value. It is absolutely the King&#8217;s Authority place. It has that kind of value. The original sexual organ place. It is even positioned in a safe place from all harm. From the original settlement place the original formula can expand to the nation and the world, and on to the expansion of the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth. This is the formula world. How can this be denied? Why do you need the Bible? Rather, we need the concepts of the original world. God&#8217;s truth is high-level, number one. There is power there. Even a small woman can control God with love power! With heart and body we control and occupy our love partner, our property. Centered on True Love, they become combined into one property. &#8220;Partner&#8221; means &#8220;mine forever.&#8221; My love partner cannot be exchanged any place, any time. God descends and connects. Forever. The owner of woman&#8217;s sexual organ is absolutely, eternally her husband. No child wants to have two mothers or two fathers. They absolutely want only one. Therefore absolutely, there can be no divorce. The fallen world means that this formula is completely broken down and ownership has been exchanged. Those of you who want to have divorce in your life, please raise your hands. How about free sex? How about the consumption of alcohol and drugs? How about those who want to become gay or lesbian? That is the road that will drive you to the bottom of Hell which is against the Principle of Creation. Therefore, do you have the right to fool around? (NO) Absolutely not.</p>
<p>Reverend Moon is teaching such a deep truth to humanity, and yet the Unification Church has been given many dirty labels by the world. Do you think that God is happy about that? (No) Do you think that God will come forward and destroy the Unification Church or will He help it to prosper? The reason that the Unification Church has grown and prospered in the face of the worst kind of persecution in this world is because God took the fortune from those who persecuted us, and blessed the Unification Church with their fortune instead. That is how we have been prospering in this world.</p>
<p>If the people of America were to propose to Reverend Moon that he give up the position of True Parents and become the President of the United States of America, do you think that Father would welcome such a proposal or would he reject it? (Reject it) The True Parents are forever, absolutely only one. How can that ever be exchanged for anything? Never. Do you think that Father is happy sharing this kind of story with you? In the secular world many people oppose Father when he proclaims &#8220;True Parents.&#8221; But they are the ones who will decline eventually.</p>
<p>In the Garden of Eden the original couple, the original family was lost. Therefore, we have to rediscover that original couple and family by walking the road of indemnity. That is why, in these last days, Reverend Moon came to this world as True Parents and gives blessings to humankind so that their sins can be forgiven and build original couples and the original family in this world once again. That is why Reverend Moon is holding a 3.6 Million Couples Blessing this year. (Applause) You are clapping with excitement but Father feels miserable. Because when we go out to the world, who recognizes the value of the Blessing? How many people? Father has overcome all the hurdles and difficulties all of these years and has laid a strong enough foundation to launch this kind of providential campaign this year of 3.6 Million Couples Blessing. That is why you are now clapping and many dignitaries in the secular world recognize it. However, Father had to pay an incredible amount of indemnity to do so.</p>
<p>Do you think that God has eyes? (Yes) Have you seen them? (No) Then how do you know? Because we resemble God and so God must resemble us. Does He have ears, nose, mouth, hands and fingers? (Yes) In observing this world, where can God find the ideal man, ideal family, ideal tribe, nation and world that He originally desired to see and have? He cannot find it anywhere. Because He cannot tolerate this evil world God closes His eyes, ears and even pinches His nose so that He does not have to smell this rotten world in its present condition. God cannot destroy humanity because He is a God of love. Instead of destroying humankind He turns His back and stays far away trom humankind in their present situation.</p>
<p>We must understand that Adam and Eve gave birth to their children only after being chased out from the Garden of Eden. The children of Adam and Eve had nothing to do with God from their inception. These children had nothing to do with God&#8217;s Life, Love and Lineage. Therefore, the world that they created was the world of Hell. This is our present reality. No matter how famous you may be as a minister or theologian here today, unless we can clean up this mess there is no one who will be able to enter into the Kingdom of God. Reverend Moon has the right to proclaim that this is the absolute truth. Someone may declare that Reverend Moon is like a dictator insisting upon his own dogma. Well, if you don&#8217;t believe it, when you die and go to the spiritual world you will see who is right.</p>
<p>Reverend Moon has absolute confidence in this truth from God. That is why, even if all five billion people of this world oppose him he really doesn&#8217;t care. True Parents are only one couple in this world among five billion people. Even scholars such as Dr. Rubenstein need True Parents, don&#8217;t they? More than the teachings, Reverend Moon himself should be the question to you. Most valuable is the substantial body, not truth. Body has all truth, concentrated, making oneness. The center is the so-called flesh-body. Within it is finger-truth, hand-truth, leg-truth, and so on.</p>
<p>At the time of the Garden of Eden it was Eve who began the deviation away from God. I am now going to speak about the real historical background of the Israelites. This kind of content has been hidden until now. In the beginning of human history Eve committed sin. Since Eve became the first sinner we can call her a bad woman. Generally speaking, is it men or women who actually push the world in the wrong direction? Generally speaking, wherever you may go it is easy to notice that women like to take it easy, have a good time, eat delicious food, and wear luxurious and expensive clothing, all of which Satan likes the most. They like to boastfully walk down Fifth Avenue in New York City with their expensive clothing, enticing men to look and admire them. &#8220;Come to my bosom.&#8221; &#8220;Come to Satan&#8217;s king place.&#8221; So we can generally conclude that women are the first targets of Satan. You are the connection to Satan more than men.</p>
<p>Women like to wear jewelry on their fingers, around their neck, and on their ears. In a way, women act like a necklace to men by hanging around their neck. (Laughter) This is true, because women are generally shorter than men. This is the reason why women like necklaces. [Mr. Kim: Father is giving a very interesting anecdote here] During the Vietnam war thousands of American soldiers went to assist the democratic side of Vietnam. After the war was over many soldiers returned home. One particular wife who was awaiting her husband&#8217;s return had prepared herself in expensive clothes and jewelry and went to wait for her husband to arrive. But he didn&#8217;t come out from the airplane. Everyone there seemed to find their husbands and left from there happily. However, she was unable to find her husband. But at the end of the line there was a man who seemed much smaller than her husband, was not as handsome as she remembered and a little shabby looking. He walked by her but she didn&#8217;t recognize him and then she looked more carefully and realized this was her husband. Once she realized that this was her husband she ran to him and jumped on him and hung around his neck like a necklace, without any hesitation. At that very moment the husband was smiling and embraced his wife so happily. While they were hugging one another the wife raised her right leg and they went spinning around 360 degrees. In Father&#8217;s mind, this is the best piece of art. (Applause)</p>
<p>When this happens to you women, you should not have a big waist and tummy, because if you have big tummy or big waist, it is uncomfortable for you and your husband to make a circle. For that reason women should have slim waists. And keep it that way. This is one of the ways in which you can make your lives more exciting and happy. Whenever your husband returns home from a long journey, or home from work, don&#8217;t just ignore him. Rather run to him and give him a hug around his neck and make yourself like a necklace. This is how you will have a much happier life together. You ministers try it. If your wife is wearing a long pearl neckiace, while you are spinning around, and hugging, this necklace will follow you. How beautiful a phenomena. Wonderful. Amen.</p>
<p>Why do you think that women like to wear rings more than men? The ring and the finger represent the sexual organs of men and women. Wearing a ring is like the joining of these two love organs. In order to keep it safe the woman has to put the ring deeply onto her finger so that it cannot be taken off. (Laughter) After you hear Father explaining this to you in such a fun way, can you ever forget it? (No) Now you wives remember all what Father has taught you today when you wear your jewelry. This is for your love. It doesn&#8217;t matter whether you are young or old, all women live their lives hanging onto their husband&#8217;s love. If you lose the grip on the spouse&#8217;s love that means that your family is broken down. Is this true? (Yes) Do you follow Father? (Yes)</p>
<p>Regarding the restoration through indemnity, was Eve&#8217;s behavior in the Garden of Eden good or bad? (Bad) How many male figures existed in the Garden of Eden? (Lucifer, Gabriel, Michael, Adam and God) That is correct. Five male figures. How many women? (One) Only one woman. Do you think that God felt secure to leave Eve alone in the middle of the Garden of Eden? (No) Against whom do you think you would try to protect this particular woman knowing that this woman is supposed to grow to be your spiritual spouse? When a master leaves his home to go on a journey, usually he will leave some instructions or command to the closest person to him. Either his wife or children. Not his servant or his driver. That is why God gave His commandment to Adam and Eve not to eat the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. He did not leave this commandment with the Archangel or anyone else. What is the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. It is symbolic of the woman&#8217;s sexual organ.</p>
<p>Humankind was unaware until now that the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil meant the fruit which had the potential to become good or evil. There is no literal tree of good and evil. This is symbolic of woman&#8217;s sexual organ. The commandment should have remained with the woman. God&#8217;s original lineage was reversed through the Fall to Satan&#8217;s lineage and Satan&#8217;s tradition. Eve was in the position of God&#8217;s daughter and His daughter-in-law as she was supposed to become Adam&#8217;s wife. Also she was supposed to be in the position of Adam&#8217;s mother and God&#8217;s relative. However, she lost everything because of the misuse of her sexual organ. Her original position was to stand as grandmother, mother, wife, and daughter. After the Fall everything was cut down and so God&#8217;s side no longer had a woman figure. Because of this failure the religions of the world generally emphasize celibacy.</p>
<p>God began the providence of restoration from Adam&#8217;s family all the way to restore the original state of the Garden of Eden where the restored Adam and Eve could establish the ideal original family and expand this to the ideal tribe, ideal nation and ideal world. Therefore Jesus came as the Messiah, but even Jesus was unable to fulfill this mission completely. Therefore, humankind is still awaiting the Lord of the Second Advent. After the Fall, Adam and Eve were split two ways and this split remained throughout history all the way down to Jesus. But at the time of Jesus, the Israelites and Judaism were supposed to become totally united centered on Jesus so that the ideal world could be built. But due to their disbelief, this mission was unaccomplished. Even after the coming of Jesus the entire world was divided into right and left wings which eventually became communism and democracy. Reverend Moon came to this world to reunite these two worlds. Now he is pushing to have humanity build one world, not a divided world. That is the goal that he has been pursuing. The divided world should become one and make a complete circle.</p>
<p>In order for anyone to be able to enter into the Kingdom of God you should have absolute unity between your mind and body and between yourself and your entire family.</p>
<p>Remember, you as an individual are not able to enter into the Kingdom of God. You need your family in order to enter. From this perspective should Jesus have married or not? (Yes) We lost everything at the time of Adam&#8217;s family. At the time of Jesus the entire nation of Israel and Judaism should have worked together to form Jesus&#8217; family so that the entire nation and people could enter the Kingdom together.</p>
<p>Immediately following World War II, Great Britain was in the position of the mother nation, America was in the position of Abel and France was in the position of Cain. England was an island nation, surrounded by the ocean. In a sense the island is always longing to become part of the mainland. The United States was probably the first nation to be established by the Protestants. The nation of France stood in the position of enemy nation to both England and America. However, these three enemy nations became one right after World War II. The real force to unite them was the power of Christianity. Christianity represents the bride culture. Christianity means bride culture place. Bride wants to meet bridegroom. Without the bride, the bridegroom has no value.</p>
<p>Because of Jesus&#8217;s crucifixion only spiritual salvation was accomplished. Christianity needed the substantial body, the substantial figure as Lord. On the other hand, three axis nations existed at the time of World War II: these were Japan, Germany and Italy. Japan was an island nation like England. Hitler stood in the Abel position on Satan&#8217;s side. He killed the Judeo-Christian world. He was the worst kind of man. After World War II, centered upon Christianity, the unification of the three allied nations came about. The reason God created the unification of the Christian world was for the sake of the coming bridegroom. England was in the position of the mother nation and she bore a son, America. France was in the position of the enemy nation, Cain&#8217;s position. The mother nation and Cain and Abel combined into one.</p>
<p>If those allied nations had received the Lord of the Second Advent then the entire world could have been restored right then and there. However, they were waiting for the Lord to come on the clouds. The Christians were unaware of the true reality. Just as in the time of Jesus, the Israelites were waiting for Elijah to return in a fiery chariot. But, in reality John the Baptist came in the position of Elijah. The Christians made the same mistake right after World War II. They were expecting the Lord of the Second Advent to appear on the clouds. However, they should have realized that Reverend Moon came as the Lord of the Second Advent to work with them and restore humanity. (Applause)</p>
<p>Reverend Moon had to come in the flesh in order to indemnify the time of Jesus. Nobody knew how to unite the communist and free world. The only one who was able to do this was Reverend Moon. However, he was rejected. Jesus wanted to embrace the right and left hand thieves, representing the right and left wings, in his time in order to build one world under God. Unfortunately, this did not take place. This caused the right and left wings to be divided right there and eventually become the communist and democratic or free worlds. Reverend Moon&#8217;s mission was to unite them together and to re-build the one world under God, the original world which God had intended from the very beginning.</p>
<p>The restoration of the individual, family, tribe, nation and world was done by Father at every level, one level at a time, making a circle of 360 degrees, completing the entire circle. Through the Blessing ceremony Father is accomplishing this cleanup job from the individual, family, tribal, national and worldwide family. Once this 3.6 Million Couples Blessing is accomplished within six months we can even undertake a 36 Million Couples Blessing. (Applause) If we reach our goal this year, this Blessing will become like a fad, sweeping like a heavenly wind throughout the entire world. Then students will begin asking their teachers the meaning of the Unification Church marriage. They will want to know: is the Unification Church marriage better than secular marriages? What kind of response do you think that their teachers will give to them? (Yes)</p>
<p>At the beginning of human history, this evil seed was sown in the Garden of Eden. In these last days the secular world is reaping these evil fruits represented by all of the decadence of morality in this world. However, God cannot intervene directly in this, just as He was not able to intervene at the time of Adam and Eve&#8217;s fall. Only True Parents have the right and knowledge to intervene at this juncture. (Applause) No matter how powerful God may be, still He is not able to deal with fallen couples. Do you understand? (Yes) They represent evil parents, evil love, evil life, evil lineage and evil conscience and those four characteristics cannot connect with God&#8217;s ideal viewpoint. Therefore, God cannot touch them. With the appearance of True Parents the Blessing of marriage can be given and upon that foundation God is able to touch everything, because of True Love Lineage. The fallen world does not connect with God&#8217;s blood lineage. Through the Blessing of True Parents humankind can reconnect with God&#8217;s original blood lineage.</p>
<p>There may exist those who are older than True Parents even those who died long ago, who, horizontally speaking, stand in the position of Father&#8217;s elders, but once True Parents appear in this world they all become True Parent&#8217;s children and grandchildren downwards, because there has to be only one line established to God. Until this time two lines have existed. True Parents are needed in order to restore this satanic line and make one line to God. From God&#8217;s viewpoint, fallen children exist in this world and they are supposed to be restored. The restoration through indemnity occurs through the restoration of the satanic lineage so that they are able to stand behind the Abel heavenly lineage line and form one straight line behind True Parents. This is how they can follow True Parents into the Kingdom. The Last Days means the crossing point of these two lines. The heavenly line goes above and the satanic line goes below.</p>
<p>Centering on this crossing point we can expand from the individual, family, tribal, national and worldwide level. This directional line is True Love. This angle will represent individual, family, tribal, national and world levels as the angle increases. In the Last Days we have to totally negate ourselves. Otherwise we will never be able to join the heavenly line. Negation should occur at eight different stages. This is why most religions have encouraged individuals to leave their families, their societies and follow the path of God and live as monks and nuns, because God had been alone up until this point and True Parents had not yet appeared. Therefore, how could humanity marry and have children?</p>
<p>Even some religious people are practicing homosexuality today. Who knows how many of them have HIV. On the contrary, the Unification Church is instructing its membership to become tribal messiahs of their clans and, as Blessed couples, have their relatives all receive the Blessing in True Parents&#8217; name. Even you prominent theologians here today cannot deny this teaching.</p>
<p>There are two different lines of lineage. On Satan&#8217;s side there is the elder son, elder king and elder parents. This group has to be restored back in order to rejoin the heavenly lineage. Simply speaking, we have to restore the secular families back to the heavenly families. This is what is needed. From God&#8217;s point of view there are two different kinds of mothers and children. In order to restore them it requires that the younger son take the elder sonship, father should become the son and the son should become the father. Grandparents should become the grandchildren, grandchildren become the grandparents. This kind of reversal is needed.</p>
<p>Adam was in the position of head of the family. Jacob was in the position of head of the tribe. In Jacob&#8217;s time, he had to implement this course of restoration which was the reverse course. In the Garden of Eden Eve cheated God&#8217;s elder son, Adam and God. Through this she turned over the entire family to Satan. Therefore at the time of Jacob, Isaac&#8217;s wife Rebecca, who was the mother of Jacob, cheated her husband, father and elder son figure, Esau. Rebecca took this family back to the elder son and God. This was the reversal of this course. That is the course of indemnity. Rebecca, in Eve&#8217;s position, had to take the indemnity way and reverse the course.</p>
<p>Israel means victory. What is the meaning of this victory? The reversal of the lineage from Satan back to God&#8217;s side. At the time of Tamar, she was married to two of Judah&#8217;s sons. Both of them died without leaving children. Tamar felt the importance of the continuation of this lineage and knew she was the one to carry it on. She wanted to marry the third son. However, Judah forbade it. Risking her life, Tamar deceived Judah, her father-in-law, into having a sexual relationship with her by disguising herself as a prostitute in order to continue this lineage. She conceived twins, who fought in her womb to be born first. God told her that two nations were fighting in her womb. The restoration which took place at the time of Jacob between the elder and younger brother, now took place directly inside the womb of Tamar between her two sons.</p>
<p>Through this complicated course of restoration through indemnity, at the time of Jesus mother Mary had to indemnify the course of Tamar before she could give birth to Jesus. This is the brief history of the Old Testament era and the dawning of the New Testament era. By the time Jesus was born the Roman Empire had spread throughout the world. Therefore, Jesus needed the national level foundation in order to deal with the Roman Empire. If Jesus had not died, but rather had been supported and accepted by the Israelites and Judaism, then and only then, upon that foundation he could have conquered the Roman Empire within seven years. However, he was crucified. After murdering their True Parents, the Jewish people have been wandering throughout human history; since that time millions of Jews have been killed.</p>
<p>Everyone, regardless of their nationality, race, or religion, from the individual level to the worldwide level, all need True Parents. Once you truly understand the value of True Parents then the entire world can be united. That is the key.</p>
<p>We need to clearly understand the relationship between mother Mary and Zachariah&#8217;s family. If Jacob&#8217;s family was the starting point at the tribal level, then Mary and Zachariah&#8217;s family were the starting point of the national level providence. In the family of Jacob, Rachel should have become the first wife, not Leah. However, Leah became the first wife. In this regard, that particular providence failed. The mother was supposed to assist her daughters so that order could be established in the correct way. However, this was reversed. If Rachel&#8217;s mother had been totally united with Rachel and had pushed Leah away, then at the tribal level Rachel could have become the first wife of Jacob. The same mistake took place at the time of Jacob because of these two wives. At the time of Adam and Eve, Eve was supposed to become the first wife of Adam, but only after she had made a relationship with Satan did she become Adam&#8217;s wife. This meant the order was reversed. Same situation.</p>
<p>At the time of Jesus, on the national level, in the family of Zachariah this order had to be straightened out. The position of the original wife was taken by Elizabeth, Zachariah&#8217;s wife. Elizabeth&#8217;s son was John the Baptist. However, through them alone there was no way to complete the restoration. There had to exist the younger sister&#8217;s position in order to establish the heavenly lineage. Because of the Fall of Man, restoration always has to come about through the second wife, the concubine line. That has been the history of restoration.</p>
<p>In Jacob&#8217;s family, Leah hated her younger sister Rachel and she completely dominated Jacob and produced ten children, whereas Rachel had only two children. However, Elizabeth, the wife of Zachariah actually volunteered to introduce Mary to Zachariah because of her revelation from God. She allowed Mary to stay in her family for three months. A woman doesn&#8217;t become pregnant through staying overnight. If you really research into the Bible you will see this. Therefore, after three months of staying in Zachariah&#8217;s household Mary became pregnant. Mary had the responsibility to indemnify the failure of Eve as well as the failure of Rachel and Leah. Therefore while she was pregnant she had to deceive her husband figure (Joseph) as well as her father figure.</p>
<p>Because of Mary&#8217;s success in reversing the course which had failed at the time of Eve, Rebecca and Tamar, now the son she had in her womb at the national level was sanctified. That is why she was able to give birth to the Holy Son of God, Jesus. Jesus was born completely free of Satanic accusation. God controlled everything concerning his conception and birth. He was God&#8217;s begotten true son; begotten son, begotten father, begotten king, like Adam. Turn back everything to God from Satan&#8217;s world. There is no way out from the restoration through indemnity. We have to go through that course. The message that Father wanted Mr. Peter Kim to read to you was given this year on the Day of the Victory of Love. Briefly Father will explain to you the meaning of the Day of the Victory of Love and we will conclude today.</p>
<p>Because Jesus Christ went to the spiritual world without establishing his own family in this physical world, he has to come back again. Because Jesus did not have his family foundation here on the Earth he remains in Paradise, not in the Kingdom of Heaven. On the cross Jesus promised the right hand thief that he would be with him in Paradise that day. He did not say the Kingdom of Heaven. Why? Because the Kingdom of Heaven is only open to the family level perfected people. [One of the Christian ministers present said: &#8220;I now understand better than I did before&#8221;] (Applause)</p>
<p>The meaning of the Second Advent is the Lord coming down to this Earth to find his bride and establish his family. Because Jesus lost his bride in this physical world he has to return again to this physical realm. Jesus gave the keys of Heaven to Peter and told him, &#8220;Whatever is tied up on Earth will be tied up in Heaven. Whatever is untied on Earth will be untied in Heaven.&#8221; This means that this world is now completely decadent. Therefore these problems have to be solved in this realm. God has to restore His family, nation and world here in this physical world to begin with. Where did God lose His family, His tribe, His nation, His world? Up in Heaven? No. Right here on this Earth! Disease erupted right here in the physical world. So it has to be cured here. We have to untie the knot here in this physical world. (Amen) That Amen from Christian ministers sounded too weak. (AMEN) (Applause)</p>
<p>Most religious leaders and Christian leaders do not clearly understand the spiritual world. The physical and spiritual worlds are like two palms together. Counterparts of each other which should become one. Unless we have total unity between mind and body we cannot unite the spiritual and physical worlds. Do you want your love partner to hold double standards? (No) Do you think that God&#8217;s mind and body are separated? (No) God is absolutely one, and upon that foundation He created this entire world. Because of the Fall of Man, only human beings are still separated. Therefore we must become one between mind and body. Once we are absolutely one, then and only then, can we become united with God. That is the only hope that we have. Satan always tries to divide us. Wherever conflict exists, there Satan resides.</p>
<p>Within Christianity there is always conflict. Between Catholics and Protestants there is always fighting. God does not stay with them. Whenever you are divided one from another, God is not present. The beginning point of peace is within your own mind and body. The war between the mind and body is the most fearful of all wars. We need a cease-fire. You must control your body no matter how difficult the situation may be. The problem with fallen human beings is that their five senses all operate in two different ways instead of one absolute way. Do you young people here understand this clearly? (Yes) The problem is your inability to unite your minds and bodies. The mind is so sorrowful to have lost God&#8217;s True Love because of the fallen body. Do you American women understand? (Yes)</p>
<p>America and the Christian world have been my enemies. They have wanted to kill me until now. But my desire is to save this enemy. The most fearful enemy is our own body. Because our body connects to satanic love, life and lineage, we must be vigilant in controlling our body&#8217;s desires. You all have been out fundraising where you must be humbled. This is a most serious issue. In the fallen sense, the sexual organs of men and women are their worst enemy. Most fearful place. This is because of the Fall.</p>
<p>In the Last Days, the children from the second wives, or the concubine lineage, will become the leaders of the world. Because of this law of restoration through indemnity the lineage of the first wife will have to go through the lineage of the second wife. That is the reversal process. Originally in Jacob&#8217;s family centering upon Rachel, the second wife, she was to produce the elder son of Jacob. However, because of the conflict between Leah and Rachel, Rachel lost that right.</p>
<p>In order for us to feel true joy we have to comfort God who has been suffering great <em>han</em> throughout the course of history. The only way is to reverse the world of Hell into the world of the Kingdom of God. That is our mission and that is the meaning of a day such as this and the attitude we should have deep within us on such a day as this. Do you understand? Upon the victorious foundation which True Parents themselves set up, Heung Jin Nim could pass into the spiritual world. Even in the spiritual world Heung Jin Nim could travel freely between the spiritual world and the physical world based on True Parents victorious foundation here. Also he was able to expand his influence throughout the spiritual world and become king and embrace Jesus and lay a strong enough foundation. Therefore at the time of the 3.6 Million Couples Blessing, Heung Jin Nim will be able to give the Blessing in the spiritual world. (Applause)</p>
<p>In the world of the Unification Church we have no concept of death. We are living together with the spiritual world, are we not? (Yes) Centered upon God&#8217;s True Love I give my blessing upon the Unification Church for long life, long peace, success and victory in restoring this entire world. Amen. (Amen) (APPLAUSE)</p>

<h3 align="center">January 2, 1997<br />
São Paulo, Brazil</h3>
<p>You do not know the deep contents of God&#8217;s providence. In order to have the Holy Blessing and inherit God&#8217;s blessing, you should know that there must be inevitable contents. The Blessing is to change the blood lineage.</p>
<p>Then who has to change the blood lineage? It has to be done by True Parents. After the Fall, there was only the realm of Cain, in which the fallen father, fallen mother and fallen sons lived; there was no realm of Abel. Thus, the problem is how to turn around this realm of Cain. In order to establish Abel, there must be a restored mother. However, in order for the restored mother to emerge, there has to be a restored father. Thus, returning resurrection is necessary.</p>
<h3 align="center">Bringing Cain to natural surrender</h3>
<p>The reason why the Lord of the Second Advent comes on earth is to establish the true mother through whom he can bring together the sons and daughters of Abel&#8217;s realm. Based on this foundation, the sons and daughters of Cain&#8217;s realm have to be saved, and Cain&#8217;s mother has to be cut off from Satan. The realm of Cain is different from the realm of Abel, but they cannot be sent to hell by cutting off from the realm of Abel. The realm of Cain has to follow the realm of Abel. After the realm of Abel is unified centering on Abel&#8217;s parents, then Cain&#8217;s parents have to follow them. And in the end, Satan also has to follow them. Therefore, in order to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, the world has to go in one line through the one blood lineage.</p>
<p>However, in the fallen world, there is no way for people to enter in one line. Thus, in order to connect them together, God had to first find Abel. The starting point is Abel. Through Abel, Cain has to surrender voluntarily, not by compulsion. We have to restore Cain by living sacrificially for Cain&#8217;s sake. Based on the unity of Cain and Abel through natural surrender, all the mothers of the realm of Cain have to be restored voluntarily, not by compulsion. This is the formula of the providence of restoration.</p>
<p>This formula should be fulfilled by the mainstream on each level, from the individual to the family, tribe, nation and world. The central figure of the family lives for the sake of the family, the central family lives for the sake of the tribe, the central tribe lives for the sake of the nation, and the central nation lives for the sake of the world.</p>
<p>However, since Satan&#8217;s world has already made a worldwide foundation of eight stages from the individual to the family, tribe, and so on, the realm of Abel has to restore all these foundations. If there were no satanic foundations, the Kingdom of Heaven would have been realized. The tribes of Adam&#8217;s family, centering on their elder sons, would have established the nation, and the Kingdom of Heaven would have automatically been established.</p>
<h3 align="center">Establishing Abel&#8217;s foundation</h3>
<p>If God does not find Abel&#8217;s family, the Kingdom of God on Earth and in Heaven, which is God&#8217;s ideal of creation, cannot be established. The purpose of the Old Testament Age was to establish the foundation of Abel and Abel&#8217;s family. Things were sacrificed for the sake of the son, the son was sacrificed for the sake of the parents, and the parents were sacrificed for the sake of God. You should know that these sacrifices are made for the sake of the larger realms of restoration.</p>
<p>The Unification Church and today&#8217;s blessed families started from the individual level and expanded to the family, tribe, nation, and world. Just after World War II, England, America and France were unified. These three nations represented the realm of the bride which God had been establishing through Cain and Abel ever since the fall. As the mother country, England dominated the world until the son and daughter countries emerged. That continued until 1965.</p>
<p>The world of Abel could be established by subjugating the realm of Cain throughout history. Corresponding to the Allied nations of the realm of Abel, the nations of Japan, Germany and Italy represented the realm of Cain, forming a substantial power which united to destroy Christianity. In the First, Second and Third World Wars, Cain&#8217;s side struck first, but when England, America and France were unified, Abel&#8217;s side took the victory. However, from the providential viewpoint, since Christianity worldwide had only a spiritual foundation centered on Jesus and the Holy Spirit, the world wars had to take place to establish worldwide the substantial foundation of Christianity. Thus, when England, America and France were unified through World War II, the worldwide realm of the Christian culture was formed. The cultural realm of Christianity is to unify the world, centering on God.</p>
<p>What is the meaning of unification? Unification means that there are no longer two blood lineages or two nations. If the unified foundation becomes one with the coming Messiah, everything will be completed.</p>
<p>Then, whom do we have to follow? The Messiah! Who can enter the Kingdom of Heaven first? Adam and his family should enter first, and then Adam&#8217;s tribe, nation, and world.</p>
<h3 align="center">Making sacrificial offerings</h3>
<p>The Messiah does not come from the fallen Adam&#8217;s position or from the failures at the time of Jesus&#8217; position. The Messiah has to come on the united foundation. The worldwide Eve nation, Cain nation, and Abel nation have to unite. By whom was the world unified? It was done by Jesus and God. Then who should be the owner of this victorious foundation? The owner should be Jesus and God. When Jesus becomes the owner, what shall he do? Based on the unity of this victorious foundation, he and God have to change the blood lineage. This is the conclusion of the providence of restoration.</p>
<p>Based on one unified world, Jesus has to choose his bride. Centering on True Mother, victorious Judaism and victorious Israel have to unite. On this foundation, if the Messiah establishes the palace in which Judaism and Israel can serve Jesus and help Jesus get married, everything would be completely fulfilled.</p>
<p>Then what does Jesus have to do? He has to change the blood lineage. With the change of blood lineage, the whole contents of the blood offerings, which were given to Satan, are indemnified and completed. All blood offerings from the Old Testament Age until now were sacrificed because of Satan. However, if the purpose of the sacrifice was not completely fulfilled, the indemnity condition has to be fulfilled through a higher condition of sacrifice. Therefore, after the incomplete offerings of the Old Testament Age, Jesus&#8217; blood was sacrificed in the New Testament Age. If the son&#8217;s sacrifice was not offered properly, the parents have to dedicate the sacrificial offering. For instance, if the son did not fulfill the sacrificial way, the mother has to do it, and if the mother did not fulfill completely, the father has to complete it at last. This is the way of indemnity.</p>
<p>Then, if the family palace centered on Jesus is completed, the blessing can be fulfilled all over the world through Jesus. What is the content of the blessing? It is the condition of the sacrifice of the Old Testament Age, the condition of the son of the New Testament Age, and the condition for the mother, father, family and nation.<b> </b>Therefore, because all these conditions were sacrificed, the Blessing has to take place on the foundation that all these conditions are resurrected. Do you understand?</p>
<p>Why did Christianity have a history of sacrificial offerings and blood offerings? It was for the parents to come. When True Parents come, they should not shed blood. True Parents should come on the completion stage. Since Adam and Eve fell at the completion stage of the growth period, which was the national level, Jesus came on the national level. However, Jesus did not become the national Messiah. Therefore, the time of the worldwide Messiah was still to come.</p>
<p>However, even though the Lord of the Second Advent comes to this world and gives the blessing at the worldwide level, that does not change the whole world. Because the fall happened at the completion stage of the growth period, the Lord of the Second Advent had to start from that stage. Thus, a seven-year course remained.</p>
<p>This seven-year course was the period from 1945 to 1952. Why is it a seven-year course? From the viewpoint of the Principle, this seven-year course is the time to finish the indirect dominion of the completion stage and accomplish the five percent responsibility, opening the way to the direct dominion. This standard becomes the worldwide foundation for the blessing. However, for Christianity to receive me does not mean the start of the completed stage of the completion period of the providence. If Christianity receives me, the completion stage of the growth period can be organized, as well as the nation which Jesus lost. Then, the worldwide realm of Cain, which was blessed with Israel (the realm of Abel), has to be connected to the worldwide realm of blessing. Within seven years, all these things had to be completed. However, because Christianity did not receive me, these things could not be fulfilled, and they were postponed to the time of returning resurrection.</p>
<h3 align="center">Changing the blood lineage</h3>
<p>However, the time of sacrifice was not finished. In the Old Testament Age things were sacrificed, and in the New Testament Age God&#8217;s children shed blood as offerings. However, as True Parents remove the realm of Satan&#8217;s blood lineage and bring the two realms of Abel and Cain into one realm of Abel through the change of blood lineage, Satan&#8217;s blood lineage changes to the blood lineage centered on God and True Parents. The Blessing is the very change of blood lineage.</p>
<p>Why does the blood lineage need to be changed? The fall resulted in two courses. The fallen mother and son emerged, and the true mother and son have to be restored. Do you understand? Then what is the change of blood lineage? Those who are born from the Cain-type mother have to be engrafted into the Abel-type mother and her son. You should know this clearly. No matter how much effort you make, you cannot change your blood lineage by yourself. Because I gained the victory in the satanic world, the blood lineage can be changed based on True Parents&#8217; victorious tradition. Unless the blood lineage is changed, no one can join God&#8217;s blood lineage. Do you understand?</p>
<p>Thus we can conclude that to change the blood lineage, one must pass through the door of love of two mothers. Do you know what I mean? From the horizontal viewpoint, this is why Leah and Rachel fought each other in Jacob&#8217;s family. Jacob worked for seven years to get Rachel, who was Leah&#8217;s younger sister. Then who should be his legal wife? It should be Rachel. However, Leah became his legal wife. Fallen circumstances today are exactly the same as the situation in Jacob&#8217;s family. How can God let Rachel be received? The relationship between the two mothers has to be reversed, and that requires the family foundation to be established.</p>
<p>In order to become the victor who can establish the realm of the chosen nation, centered on Jacob, the blood lineage had to be changed. Therefore, the Bible contains stories about the providence of restoration taking place through women such as Rebecca, Tamar, and Mary. In the Garden of Eden, when Eve deceived Adam and God, she fell. Likewise, Rebecca had to delude her elder son and her husband. This is restoration through indemnity. Restoration through indemnity is a necessary principle.</p>
<h3 align="center">Tamar&#8217;s role</h3>
<p>Then what did Tamar do? Since Tamar was the wife of Rebecca&#8217;s grandson, she could observe his grandmother Rebecca. Even though she did not know the deep providential meaning, she came to have a strong determination that if she received a revelation from God she would fulfill it at the risk of her life.</p>
<p>Tamar did not know that God&#8217;s will would be fulfilled through her. Nevertheless, she absolutely obeyed God&#8217;s direction. She showed absolute faith, absolute love, and absolute obedience to God. Even though she did not know God&#8217;s providence, she placed the right of the chosen people of Israel before her faith and love for the grandfather and grandmother. She absolutely loved and obeyed the God of Abraham and Isaac. There was no self-consciousness in her. Because she served the grandmother with absolute obedience, she was influenced by Rebecca&#8217;s tradition. Through God&#8217;s providence, her husband died; both the first and second husbands passed away. According to the tradition of Israel, the third son ought to have been given to the daughter-in-law, but he was not given to her. The only way to preserve the blood lineage was through her father-in-law, but since that was not permitted, she had to seduce him at the risk of her life.</p>
<p>What kind of position did Eve have in the Garden of Eden? She was both daughter and wife. Therefore, if the third son, who was supposed to be an object partner of the daughter-in-law, was not permitted to do so, she had to turn to the father. Therefore, Tamar put on make-up like a prostitute and seduced her father-in-law along the road. She bore twin sons, who became the first ancestors of Israel. This was the purification of the blood lineage.</p>
<p>Because Eve deceived the elder son and the father in Adam&#8217;s family, this had to be restored through providential history. At the time of their birth, one of the twins, Zerah, stretched out his hand to be born first, but he pulled it back into the womb, and the second son, Perez, was born first, taking the position of the elder brother. In reality, this was when the people of Israel received the right to be chosen people. The blood lineage was restored in the mother&#8217;s womb. Do you understand?</p>
<p>However, even though the Messiah came to the people of Israel, they had to go through a suffering course under the Roman Empire. Through their 2,000-year suffering course, the pure blood lineage of Israel was contaminated by the fallen environment; therefore, it had to be cleansed again.</p>
<p>Therefore, at the time of Jesus, Mary was in the position of Eve in the providence of restoration. Just as Eve led Adam astray, who was her husband and God&#8217;s elder son, Mary misled her husband, Joseph, and her father. Her father had a dream that his daughter, who was engaged to Joseph, would have a happy family, but this was completely destroyed by Mary&#8217;s providential act.</p>
<p>The way of restoration cannot be separated from indemnity. Do you understand? Today&#8217;s Unificationists know the word indemnity, but they did not go the way of indemnity. Because I have passed through the entire indemnity course, unless you unite with me, you cannot pass through it. No matter what kind of position you may have, you have to unite with me.</p>
<h3 align="center">The roles of Leah and Rachel</h3>
<p>Mary was not united with Elizabeth in Zechariah&#8217;s family, just as Leah and Rachel did not unite in Jacob&#8217;s family. As you know, Leah and Rachel did not exchange providential positions; Rachel was deprived of the position of elder mother and Jacob&#8217;s legal wife. Therefore, God&#8217;s providential history could not move into the original realm. Jacob had ten sons from Leah and the servants and two sons from Rachel. However, because Leah and Rachel did not unite with each other, Jacob&#8217;s descendants were divided into the nations of Israel and Judea. Thus, enemies in the family became enemies on the national level. Moreover, this expanded to the worldwide level, forming the democratic world and the communist world. Thus, enemy brothers became enemies on the worldwide scale. As the history of restoration has moved to the worldwide level, it became more and more difficult. Do you understand?</p>
<p>From Jacob&#8217;s family, the world inherited two maternal blood lineages. Then who had to fulfill the history of restoration first? This was the responsibility of Jacob and Rebecca. Then Leah&#8217;s two mothers (her physical mother and her mother-in-law, Rebecca) had to unite and follow Jacob. Even though their families were broken, they should have united with Jacob and helped him reverse the positions of Leah (the legal wife) and Rachel (the concubine). This is also our destiny in the history of restoration. Once Leah&#8217;s position was corrected, the ten elder brothers and the youngest brother, Benjamin, had to follow Joseph, who was supposed to be Abel. If the ten brothers were united with Leah, they could be restored. Thus the order of love was supposed to be established centered on Leah and then connected with Rachel as the center. This was the responsibility of Jacob, Rebecca and Leah&#8217;s mother.</p>
<p>However, since Leah and Rachel fought with each other, the nations of Israel and Judea became enemies. God sent many prophets to restore the wrong relationship, but both religious leaders and politicians opposed them. In order to accomplish restoration through indemnity, this historical fight between Leah and Rachel expanded to the worldwide level.</p>
<p>In the Last Days, the fight between the legal wife and the concubine appears in the form of free sex, which is destroying the world. Men are willing to enjoy illicit love and seek concubines instead of their wife. This is taking place because Jacob&#8217;s family did not restore the order of love.</p>
<h3 align="center">Mary&#8217;s role</h3>
<p>At the time of Jesus, the same situation as in Jacob&#8217;s family reoccurred. Mother Mary had to restore the position of Rachel and Leah. Zechariah&#8217;s family was the extension of Jacob&#8217;s family. Zechariah appeared as an ancestor who could change the blood lineage of the whole nation through his family. Elizabeth was the legal wife of Zechariah and the mother of John the Baptist. However, according to God&#8217;s revelation, Mary was put between Zechariah and Elizabeth as a kind of concubine. In the secular world, such a woman may be called a whore.</p>
<p>However, whose concubine was Mary? Zechariah was the husband of her cousin on her mother&#8217;s side. How could she take away her relative&#8217;s husband? It is impossible. However, because Zechariah and Elizabeth knew this providential fact through revelation and through Mary&#8217;s explanation, Elizabeth welcomed Mary. Elizabeth&#8217;s attitude was the reverse of that of Rachel and Leah, who tried to kill each other out of jealousy. Mary received the revelation that she would conceive the Messiah. Elizabeth also knew about Mary&#8217;s situation and helped her accomplish God&#8217;s will. Elizabeth guided Mary to her husband&#8217;s room. Do you understand? She surrendered her husband to her younger relative.</p>
<p>What did Mary do in Zechariah&#8217;s house for three months? They all lived together. It was difficult to conceive in just one or two days. When Mary returned to her house, she was pregnant. Since Elizabeth loved her younger relative, she handed over her husband to her. Even though her mind and heart were terribly painful and her body was like death, Elizabeth could overcome such a situation with absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience.</p>
<p>Mary also had absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience. These were the contents which God had revealed in Adam&#8217;s family. Unless the tradition of absolute faith, love and obedience is established, God&#8217;s will cannot be realized. Do you understand?</p>
<p>Thus, with absolute faith and love, Mary also loved her elder relative, Elizabeth. As Mary loved Elizabeth, she came to love Elizabeth&#8217;s son and Elizabeth&#8217;s husband. So, Mary deserved to be loved by Zechariah, Elizabeth and John the Baptist. However, John the Baptist did not fulfill his responsibility.</p>
<p>All of them seemed to be enemies of love. For Elizabeth, Mary and Mary&#8217;s son were enemies of love. For Mary&#8217;s husband, Zechariah and John the Baptist were enemies. However, restoration cannot take place based on enemy feelings. Thus you should know that if you have enemy feelings, the realm of Unification will disappear. In Zechariah&#8217;s family, Elizabeth would have enemy feelings toward Mary, who deprived her of her husband. How much she must have suffered! In the end, she could not overcome this difficulty and maintain her love towards Mary.</p>
<p>It was easy for Mary to fulfill her mission, because she took over the position of elder sister and her son. However, the position of the legal wife was the most difficult. Do you understand?</p>
<p>In Zechariah&#8217;s family, two blood lineages had to become one. Through this unity, the right of elder son was to be restored and the younger brother and older brother should have exchanged positions. Likewise, the mothers had to exchange positions, and the elder sister and younger sister had to exchange positions. Moreover, Zechariah had to deny his old satanic blood lineage so Jesus could have the blood lineage as the Lord. How difficult all that was!</p>
<p>Because of the two maternal blood lineages in Jacob&#8217;s family, the nations of Israel and Judea came into being. Moreover, these two blood lineages expanded their conflict to the worldwide level. Therefore, in order to resolve the problem of blood lineage, God&#8217;s providence had to go back to the family level. Because Cain was divided in Adam&#8217;s family, the father&#8217;s blood lineage and the mother&#8217;s blood lineage were divided in Jacob&#8217;s family.</p>
<h3 align="center">Two blood lineages begin to emerge</h3>
<p>Adam&#8217;s family bore Satan&#8217;s blood lineage. After the restoration of blood lineage, centering on mind and body, Jesus had to indemnify all the historical and providential contents from the past through his present time. He engaged in a serious fight to understand these providential contents. Even though God knows the contents of indemnity, He cannot reveal them. Satan also knows the contents of indemnity, but Satan cannot teach them. God could not say that the problem was the fallen blood lineage, which has to be cut off because the fall took place in the realm of incompleteness centered on illicit love. The same is true with Satan.</p>
<p>In the future, these things should become known. After Adam and Eve learned the truth, Adam&#8217;s family and tribe had to know it. However, because of the fall there were no such tribes. Satan cannot teach this truth either. Who has to teach it? In the providence of restoration, the Messiah has to come and replace the false life and false blood lineage.</p>
<p>Because Christianity lost Jesus&#8217; body, it had only the spiritual foundation. Christians shed blood because Satan continuously claims Jesus&#8217; body as his. Unless Christianity gains the victory by shedding blood, there is no way that Jesus&#8217; body can be found. The war which indemnified this whole historical process was World War II.</p>
<h3 align="center">The world wars</h3>
<p>Why did World War II break out? Since Christianity offers spiritual salvation, the spiritual world cannot have a relationship with the substantial world. The Holy Spirit, which is the maternal God, comes and works between heaven and earth. Since Satan claims supremacy in this realm between Heaven and Earth, religious people have to penetrate it; unless one has a heart that goes beyond erotic love, one cannot penetrate this realm and meet Jesus.</p>
<p>Moreover, because Satan&#8217;s world could not be liberated, people can devote themselves to prayer and connect to the spiritual world, but when they stop their devotion, the spiritual standard disappears. If you repeat this ten million times, the spiritual world comes closer, starting first from one point and gradually broadening until equalization finally happens. What is the time of equalization? It involves Cain, Abel, and the enemy world. It involves idealism and materialism. The material realm and the realm of thought were indemnified centering on World Wars I, II and III.</p>
<p>During World War II, Japan, Germany and Italy all had similar characteristics; they were satanic countries and followed various religions. England stood for monotheism, and America was a country to which England gave birth. Inheriting the Anglo-Saxon line, America was in the position of son, while England was in the position of mother. However, in the providence of restoration, the son, America, became the central country. Why? Because the son was in the providential position to receive the Messiah. Since Jesus did not establish a nation centered on him, the Messiah has to come a second time.</p>
<p>At the Second Advent, America had to take responsibility for the mother and the satanic things during World War II. After the victory, Christianity could be established on that victorious foundation. Therefore, America received the blessing. Then what kind of position does America have? America is in the position of the son who restores the right of the elder son on God&#8217;s side. Do you understand?</p>
<p>There may be many countries, but there is only one center. America stood as the son on the worldwide foundation. As the elder son, America had to take care of the younger brother countries. In addition, it had to go up to the highest position and subjugate even the mother. However, ultimately, America had to receive the Messiah. Why should America receive the Messiah? Christianity is the bride which waits for the bridegroom. The realm of the bride waited for Jesus, and now at the Second Coming the realm of the bride waits for the Lord of the Second Advent.</p>
<p>Who is the Lord of the Second Advent? People did not know that he would come as the son and the parent. Christianity did not know that. The purpose of providential history was to find the children by offering things and to establish the parents by sacrificing the children. The Unification Church has made the foundation for God to dwell on Earth through the sacrifice of True Parents, which is the ideal of creation. Actually, the representative family of the world begins with Adam&#8217;s family. The representative family of the world begins by carrying out all the contents of Heaven and Earth.</p>
<h3 align="center">Equalization through the Blessing</h3>
<p>At the Second Coming, the central family has to establish kingship, parentship and elder sonship. The holy blessing ceremony of the Unification Church is to establish the blood lineage of True Parents, which is the worldwide foundation to build kingship, parentship and elder sonship. The Holy Blessing Ceremony is the way to overcome everything and go beyond nation, race, culture, religion and tradition. Therefore, the international Holy Blessing Ceremony took place, and Satan was unable to find any condition to make false accusations. On the contrary, Satan cannot help but admit its value. Do you understand?</p>
<p>If you pass over the place, there is no son, no wife. In that place where God has blessed, there is no longer a country of origin. You should forget everything. After receiving the Blessing, if people ask, &#8220;Which university did that person graduate from?&#8221; or &#8220;Did he graduate from high school?&#8221; I will be upset with them. If people have that concept, the Blessing is a contradiction. The Blessing is equalization. The Blessing places people in the position of Adam and Eve. If the man or woman has some difficulty relating to the sexual organ, that can be a problem. But if he or she has no problem with concave and convex, that is all in the Blessing.</p>
<p>Once people receive the Blessing, there is neither family nor tradition, but only root. There is no father, mother, uncle or cousin. If you have a true father, mother and family, they will not oppose you at the time of the tribal blessing. If they oppose you, they are on Satan&#8217;s side. Don&#8217;t think of Satan&#8217;s side as your side. Religions have ordered people to leave their home, to cut off from their old way of life and to go out like beggars leading very sacrificial lives. Be a person whom no one is concerned about. Don&#8217;t have even your father or mother follow you. Go to the place where you alone can overcome.</p>
<p>There is no one behind you. What kind of life have you had until now? There is nothing to be proud of in the Unification Church, which has been under persecution. No matter what kind of career a person has or his level of university education, it has no meaning. I did not want to have even the name of Unification Church. You should know that. The elder Unificationists received the Blessing in the midst of persecution. They were not blessed after being liberated from persecution. In this sense, every authority belongs to me. Humankind&#8217;s only purpose and desire is for the True Parents to come. Christianity did not know that. Unificationists need unity with True Parents which is greater than the faith which Christians have in Jesus. You should know this clearly.</p>
<h3 align="center">Absolute faith, love and obedience</h3>
<p>Do not complain about your position compared with your past career. No matter which country you may receive as national messiah, you have to be thankful for it. If Adam and Eve were ordered to live in a desert or on a mountain, they had to be able to survive there. Because of God, people can survive. That is the essence of absolute faith. What is next? Absolute love. And then? Absolute obedience. You should know that without absolute love, it is impossible to change the blood lineage.</p>
<p>What was the most important commandment in the Garden of Eden? Absolute faith, absolute love, absolute obedience. What is the meaning of God&#8217;s commandment? It means not to eat the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. What is the fruit? It is the woman&#8217;s sexual organ. Look around at that time. In the Garden of Eden, there was one woman and five men, the three archangels, Adam and God. Therefore, God warned Eve to be careful of men. That is, she had to protect her sexual organ absolutely. If she had absolute faith, how could she have believed the archangel?</p>
<p>Therefore, you should know how serious it was when God gave the commandment to Eve. The fruit means the woman&#8217;s sexual organ. When it has a sexual relationship with a good man, it bears a good child. On the other hand, when it has a sexual relationship with someone from the Mafia, it bears the son of the Mafia. It can bear the fruit of good or evil.</p>
<p>In Korean, there is a term, &#8220;Do not eat.&#8221; The term &#8220;having fruit&#8221; usually means that a woman seduces a man into having a sexual relationship. &#8220;Having fruit,&#8221; in Korean, has a meaning that comes from revelation. When we interpret these words providentially, they are liberated.</p>
<p>Then what should the Lord of the Second Advent do at the time of the Blessing? Because the offerings of the Old Testament Age and the New Testament Age failed, in the Completed Testament Age, True Parents themselves became the sacrificial offering. Even if True Parents are sacrificed ten million times, they have to make the foundation for God to dwell on earth. If you died ten million times without accomplishing God&#8217;s ideal, the way of resurrection will be opened when God&#8217;s ideal is realized on earth. You have to go with such a spirit. Do you understand?</p>
<p>What is your situation? You cannot do as you like. If you do as you like, you cannot go the way of restoration. I have heard that people claim that every action between man and woman is permitted except sexual intercourse. Who taught such things? It should be disclosed. When God&#8217;s nation is established, everything will be disclosed. In the spiritual world, such people will be kicked out. When the angels investigate, such people will be separated from the holy place.</p>
<p>Such people have to be disclosed before the 3.6 million couples Blessing. What foolish words these are! How can you say that everything between man and woman is fine as long as you do not pass over the limitation? In the Garden of Eden, could a man or woman deal with this without passing over the limitation? It is a great concern what will become of such people and their blood lineage. Even if they go to pioneer a desert, they are still the biggest trouble, because they are spiritual beings. This cannot be easily removed completely.</p>
<h3 align="center">Offering a living sacrifice</h3>
<p>England, America and France had to receive me and unite with me, but they sent me out to the wilderness. For thousands and thousands of years, God has been preparing the providence of salvation in order to establish the ideal of purifying the family through the change of blood lineage by the Messiah. But how can I change the blood lineage when they expelled me? You should be the sacrificial offerings so True Parents can overcome this.</p>
<p>You blessed families cannot be separated from each other. Make an offering. However, offerings have to be divided. Therefore, when it was an important time, husbands were divided from wives, sons and daughters. Only when you obey the will, can the way be opened for your sons and daughters to be saved. That is the sacrificial offering.</p>
<p>From this viewpoint, the Unification Church has failed and all Christianity, which represented the realm of the bride, has also failed. Because the Allied nations failed, I abandoned them. Instead of them, I took Japan, Germany and Italy, which were on the side of Satan, because Satan took England, America and France. God could not give two realms to Satan. Therefore, God took Japan, Germany and Italy instead. Without establishing Japan, which is a superstitious country, as a maternal country, there would be no condition for the Lord of the Second Advent to dwell on earth.</p>
<p>I was expelled to the wilderness. Therefore, for the sake of God&#8217;s side, faithful groups appeared to oppose absolutely the way of England, America and France. Denominations divided. Heretical groups appeared in opposition to traditional Christianity. As many heretics appear, I have to find the way for a new orthodoxy to come out of them which can remain until the end. This is stunning news. Therefore, I could not cheer mansei when the time of liberation came. You should know the way you have to go. This continues until the day of <i>Ae Seung Il</i>, the Day of Victory of Love.</p>
<p>You all disliked offering your family, however. Without becoming a sacrificial offering as a four-position foundation for the Son&#8217;s sake and God&#8217;s sake, no one can go beyond the indirect dominion. In order to enter the direct dominion, you have to gain the victory by offering your sons and daughters. This is the formula for entering the direct dominion. Do you understand?</p>
<p>While we are eating and living in the satanic world, we have to be sacrificial offerings until the end. Therefore, there cannot be any objection when Adam&#8217;s country, Eve&#8217;s country and Cain&#8217;s country are mobilized. However, since the level of tribal messiahship failed, sacrificial families of four-position foundations have to be offered at the national level. This is the course which the national messiahs have to pass through. Nations which can contribute sacrificial families are needed.</p>
<p>In order to do that, you have to restore the things which Jesus failed to do, centering on 33 people and then 780 people. In western countries, the wife precedes her husband. The time has come when the wife has all the authority in the family, and the sons and daughters do not believe their father but their mother. Therefore, if a wife divorces her husband, she can take all the children. If women are restored, the family standards of elder sonship and second sonship can be restored on the horizontal level. Therefore, True Parents have fulfilled the restoration through indemnity for parentship, elder sonship, and second sonship. By doing so, True Parents have pulled all of history towards the plane. Do you understand?</p>
<p>After pulling up the women&#8217;s level centering on True Father, all women become part of True Parents&#8217; body. In other words, the women of the world are part of True Mother&#8217;s body. Whose body do all the men of the world belong to? Are they parts of True Father&#8217;s body? No. Every man is part of the archangel&#8217;s body.</p>
<p>Who is the owner? At the time of Adam, three persons fell. After the Fall, the archangel and Eve united and expelled the owner. However, at the Second Coming, Eve is to separate from the archangel, unite with her sons and daughters, and love True Parents absolutely, more than anybody else. These are not my words; they are the Principle viewpoint. You have to know this clearly. With whom should women and their children unite? They must unite with the true Messiah. Therefore, in the Last Days, there are three figures: Eve, the archangel and Adam. Since Eve and the archangel united in the Garden of Eden and expelled her legal husband, at the time of restoration, Eve becomes united with the Lord of the Second Advent and has to expel the archangel by restoration through indemnity. By denying her present husband and the external, satanic environment, she has to contribute to the history of True Parents by herself.</p>
<p>The condition upon which you can receive the Blessing is to deny yourselves, because after the fall of Adam at the age of 16, Satan multiplied all humankind centering on fallen Adam&#8217;s body. Thus, on the foundation of the original positions of Adam, Eve and the archangel, the Blessing can be given.</p>
<p>Who is your father? Your father is the archangel. Who is your mother? If she follows her husband, she becomes the archangel&#8217;s wife, and her sons and daughters become the archangel&#8217;s sons and daughters. However, because God cannot destroy everybody, He engrafts them to the restored Eve by true love.</p>
<p>After women, wives and mothers joined the Unification Church, when they met me they had an extreme longing to possess and love me more than anyone. Without having such an idea, those women could not find the position of Eve. How serious such a time was! Before I chose True Mother, all the women who had met me over the previous fourteen years came to have this kind of idea.</p>
<p>You do not know how hard such a way was. I changed dirty water into clean water and connected it to a spring where clean water flowed, but the water became like sewer water. The Blessed family has been living in a sewer until now. You should know this clearly. If it were not for True Parents, the world would be Satan&#8217;s world where one could not establish even the condition of restoration.</p>
<p>Because the Blessed families centered on True Parents fell, how can the condition of restoration be established? You should know that you are standing in this horrible period. Do you understand? Because of such a situation, it was Japan, Germany and Italy which I chose the second time. I had lost the bride that was first destined and chose a second one. Therefore, True Mother appears and has to deny the first bride, the first son, the first tribe, the first nation, the first world.</p>
<h3 align="center">Protecting Father&#8217;s sons</h3>
<p>I could not take just one course, because the providence relating to my family has to do with two blood lineages centering on God. My elder sons are standing in opposing positions because you did not protect them. The elder sons, Sung Jin and Hyo Jin, and the elder daughter, Ye Jin, are standing in opposing positions. They should surrender voluntarily. It is the responsibility of the blessed families to protect True Children and consider them more precious than their own children and blood lineage. You are a castle wall protecting them from Satan&#8217;s attack. In spite of that, the three elder couples did not complete this responsibility.</p>
<p>I entrusted the care of Sung Jin to Won Pil&#8217;s couple. They had to love him more than their own children. I entrusted the care of Hee Jin to another couple. They also had to love him more than their children. No matter how many children they may have had, even at the sacrifice of their own children they had to protect Hee Jin. Not to have done that brings judgment by the Principle. Moreover, I put Hyo Jin under Young Whi Kim&#8217;s care. Did you love him like that? Satan went in and out as he liked.</p>
<p>Therefore, problems happened in my family. My second son, Hee Jin, died. Moreover, our second daughter, Hae Jin, also died eight days after she was born.</p>
<p>I was the second son in my father&#8217;s family. So, to take me from my physical father, Satan used all kinds of methods. My elder brother and elder sister became insane. Out of thirteen brothers and sisters, five people died within one year. Dogs and horses belonging to my household died. Satan used his whole authority to destroy my father&#8217;s family. However, from this miserable and difficult situation, my official way had to start.</p>
<p>Even in the most difficult situation, the providence of restoration has to go forward. There is no exception in the law of indemnity. Thus, Adam&#8217;s nation, Eve&#8217;s nation, and the archangel&#8217;s nation, which I appointed, cannot be in peace.</p>
<h3 align="center">National responsibilities</h3>
<p>Now, Korea is held under Satan&#8217;s dominion. There is no foundation to unify North and South Korea without unity between North and South America. I do not go to Korea. I abandoned Korea, and instead of Korea I am unifying Christianity in North and South America and opening the time of Blessing for the family. Because Christianity did not bring about the blessed realm by unifying North and South America centering on Jesus and Christian culture, North and South America have to be blessed.</p>
<p>The Blessing gives rise to a kind of confusion which has never been seen in human history. This confusion is the confusion within family relationships. Today, the most serious problems are family breakdown and juvenile corruption, which are the fruits born of the destruction of Adam&#8217;s family and the corruption of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Owing to the standard of the Principle, God could not interfere in the fall of Adam and Eve. This standard is also applied to Satan. That is, even though today&#8217;s fallen world has been developed by Satan, Satan cannot return the fallen world to God&#8217;s world according to his will. God and Satan cannot transform the fallen world into the world of goodness. Who made this fallen world? Those who committed sin have to atone for their sin. Because false parents made false love and false blood lineage, True Parents have to come and bring the secret of God and Satan. Do you understand what I mean?</p>
<p>After True Parents came, they had to inherit the two worlds, which are the democratic world and the communistic world, and embrace them. Because Jesus did not embrace them, the left wing and the right wing were divided and have been fighting each other. They should be united. Therefore, True Parents had to embrace materialism &#8211; communism and the Soviet Union &#8211; and the democratic world. Providentially, the former Soviet Union is now in a position superior to the United States. The second generation of the former Soviet Union is receiving the providential will. Just as the first generation fell in the wilderness, but the second generation could go into the land of Canaan, even though the Soviet Union collapsed in the wilderness their second generation is entering the land of Canaan and has to pioneer the founding spirit of a country. The second generation is different from the first generation. It is interesting.</p>
<p>Kim Jong Il, who is the first son of Kim Il Sung, the former leader of North Korea, is the second generation. He will follow me under any circumstances because heavenly fortune is moving. Do you understand? Now that Kim Il Sung went to the spirit world, he may say, &#8220;Hey, Hey! Kim Jong Il! Follow Rev. Moon.&#8221;</p>
<p>Since Japan did not complete her responsibility, I made the Island Country Federation. If I do not help Japan, the ship of Japan is destined to sink. Therefore, I am preparing the new system by creating the Island Country Federation, the Peninsular Country Federation, and the six great countries federation.</p>
<p>Japan did not fulfill its responsibility completely. Ten missionaries went to each of 160 countries, 1600 missionaries in all. If Japan had become the country of elder sonship by fulfilling the responsibility of tribal messiah, all countries of the world would follow it. However, because Japan did not complete this mission, 120 Japanese women now have to be sent to 185 countries.</p>
<p>The Blessed families in Korea have failed. When I become the perfect subject by passing from the national level to the worldwide level through fighting on the forefront, the perfect object partner is formed automatically.</p>
<h3 align="center">Mother made an acceptable offering</h3>
<p>Whatever I say will be accomplished. I do not follow your opinions. I never listen to your suggestions and opinions. I must not listen to you. This is because you have to show absolute faith, absolute love, and absolute obedience, which is the way of completion and the way of the heavenly principle.</p>
<p>Do you remember saying previously, &#8220;When I looked back on my public way, I came to recognize how difficult it is to take responsibility for a church&#8221;? (Yes!) You did not know that it was the way of absolute faith, absolute love, and absolute obedience. The Unification Church, which has no such tradition and has become accustomed to a habitual faith, has no hope for the future. Moreover, by criticizing the situation of the church and blaming the senior Blessed couples according to their own perspective, the junior blessed couples and the present Blessed couples will destroy hope and desire.</p>
<p>Those who judge according to their own perspective will most likely fail to benefit at the time of bearing fruit. I know everyone who complains. At the time of providential change, they will recognize that they were wrong. They will say &#8220;True Father! We will believe absolutely. We love True Parents absolutely.&#8221; Then, are you ready to sacrifice your children? Do you understand? You should be able to sacrifice three generations.</p>
<p>What did Eve do? First Eve killed the first Adam, her husband. The second Eve also killed Adam, her husband. The third Eve expelled the third Adam, her husband, to the wilderness. So, what True Mother has to do is to restore Eve&#8217;s mistake. Heung Jin fell into a coma. Because he was in a coma, he would die when the oxygen mask was removed. Heung Jin&#8217;s situation was so hopeless that even medical doctors gave up.</p>
<p>Centering on Heung Jin, there were two sides: Satan&#8217;s side and God&#8217;s side (True Mother, True Father, and God). Before he passed away, he was still on God&#8217;s side. So, before Heung Jin died, every providential condition should be completed. I had to remove his oxygen mask with my hand. True Mother had to watch that scene without shedding sorrowful tears. If she had an attachment to the offering, the offering would have been taken away by Satan. The sorrowful mind and heart to liberate God had to override that attachment.</p>
<p>Human emotion should not be first; God&#8217;s heart should be first. When God cries, one has to be able to console God&#8217;s heart by saying, &#8220;God, please do not cry.&#8221; Whoever cries with such a heart instead of God will be forgiven. Do you understand? If one sheds personal tears, the offering cannot be a sacrificial one. We are going to the position where God cries. These are not just words but reality.</p>
<p>A few days before Heung Jin&#8217;s death, I had to prepare the ceremony of unification. &#8220;Son, you became one with me,&#8221; I said. &#8220;You set the condition of becoming one with me heartistically and on a worldwide level. Also, you are the second son of my family. You are the first target of Satan&#8217;s attack. Even through providential history, you are the target of Satan&#8217;s attack.&#8221; I know that. However, I have to be responsible and establish the supreme victory by passing all conditions. Otherwise, the whole universe and God&#8217;s providential history would be destroyed.</p>
<p>Please, think how serious it is! I cannot think of the death of a son as the major problem when heaven and earth are carving down in my heart. How can anyone imagine that parents will not cry when they think about their son&#8217;s death! But I had to be in that situation. When I go into such a situation, I cannot go alone. God must follow me. Mother must follow me. So, we must go down to the bottom of hell. In the face of my son&#8217;s death, I had to console God. Mother had to admonish me not to grieve at our son&#8217;s death. Also, I had to say, &#8220;God, you should not be grieving.&#8221; We had to have a unified heart. On the foundation of the unified heart, the ceremony of unification could be held. Do you understand? Chung Hwan Kwak, you must know this clearly.</p>
<p>Heung Jin was put in the unified position and became the living offering. With this offering, God, True Father, and True Mother became one in heart. But this was only the determination of mind. There was not yet a foundation of love. Within the depths of grief, the base of love had to be established upon which the unfallen Eve could receive the blessing. Do you understand what I mean? Mother had to love me instead of loving the son. Mother had to become one with me instead of loving God. By doing so, Mother and I had to become one body. In front of our dying son, transcending the realm of death, Mother had to sow the love of Adam and Eve who did not know the fall. What a stunning place it was! Do you understand this clearly?</p>
<p>Is it possible for this to happen? Mother could not shed tears before me. How stunned Mother would feel! She had to pass over such a situation. If not, the ceremony of unification would fall apart. Because such a base of love happened through Heung Jin, before Satan, the sacrifice was resurrected. Thus, because love gained the victory over death, the term <i>Ae Seung Il</i> (Day of Victory of Love) was created.</p>
<p>In your family, you have to live with such love. Through practicing love every day, you can find your true self which can establish the tradition of love and the way of happiness and hope, through which the ideal love of the universe can be delivered. You should know this clearly.</p>
<p>Because True Mother, True Father, Heung Jin, and God became united, <i>Ae Seung Il</i> was established and the ideal of creation became supreme. Based on this foundation, Heung Jin went to the spiritual world as the living sacrifice capable of leading Jesus and the spiritual world. So far, all offerings went to the spiritual world as dead sacrifices. Do you understand? Because Heung Jin went to the spiritual world as a living sacrifice, he can guide the dead sacrifices and bring benefit to the spiritual world, standing in the position of Jesus&#8217; elder brother. Therefore, the foundation for the &#8220;marriage&#8221; of the spiritual world and the physical world was prepared. Do you understand?</p>
<h3 align="center">Become rooted in original love</h3>
<p>The Blessed family should establish the family ideal of love centering on the mind, rooted in the original love, even from the depths of mourning before the dead bodies of three generations of ancestors and three generations of descendants. You should know that the way of the Blessed family is to follow the tradition which True Parents taught.</p>
<p>Do you understand the meaning of <i>Ae Seung Il</i>? (Yes!) It means to go through a serious problem without shedding tears. When Abraham offered Isaac did he shed tears? No! When he thought of his son, he had to stand in the position of a priest to liberate God. He had to stand as the priest of love and family tradition. Neither God, True Parents, nor Satan can prevent him. That is <i>Ae Seung Il</i>. Only love gains the victory.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s think about your families. How distant is your family from the victory of <i>Ae Seung Il</i>? You should know about yourselves well even though I do not teach about it. You have to know about <i>Ae Seung Il</i>, Chung Hwan Kwak. ( Yes!)</p>
<p>Because the time has come, I am teaching about this. The 3.6 million blessed couples will be the center to unify the heavenly sovereignties. It is an anchor which can remove all evil things contaminated by traditional habits of this world of death which is dominated by Satan.</p>
<p>Even though I push you out centering on the anchor, the rope of the anchor has to be strong enough to sustain you. The rope has to be your family and tribe. Because I was worried about your disconnecting from the anchor, I bound your tribes and the national messiahs. Satan cannot contend with the position of the national messiah. That is the position of the indirect dominion.</p>
<p>After separating from Satan in the completed stage of the growth period, by receiving the Blessing in the direct dominion and having children, blessed couples are accepted by God and True Parents. That is, through the change of the blood lineage, they are accepted as absolute beings by God and True Parents.</p>
<p>The change of the blood lineage cannot be done without the standard of the Principle. That is True Mother&#8217;s responsibility. Where is True Mother? Centering on True Father, many women are enemies. There have been brides in the Old Testament Age, the New Testament Age, and the Completed Testament Age. Those bride realms formed the four great religions. Today, the teachings of Christianity are taught even in Buddhism and Confucianism. Therefore, two main currents have emerged which represent the realm of the bride; they have to be united centering on True Mother. Do you understand? Theoretically, isn&#8217;t it right?</p>
<p>Two worlds are united centering on elder sonship, parentship, and kingship. Centering on the tradition of absolute love, two unified worlds should become a vertical axis and the world has to turn around centering on that axis.</p>
<p>What is the meaning of the theory that God is the vertical parent and Adam is the horizontal parent? It is the ideal of unity. Without unity, one cannot feel the joy of love and accomplish the ideal of unification. Those teachings were proclaimed by True Mother and True Father at the foundation of the Family Federation for World Peace. What is the meaning of the &#8220;View of the Principle of the Providential History of Salvation&#8221;? Its content teaches the relationship between people&#8217;s ancestors and God, the Israelites, the Lord of Second Advent and the world. It explains the relationship between the individual, family, nation, world, and heaven and earth centering on True Parents. All Unification members have to read &#8220;View of the Principle of the Providential History of Salvation&#8221; thousands of times and memorize it so that they can be able to recite it either in their dreams or in their daily lives. You should know how many tears God has shed for the sake of the will.</p>
<h3 align="center">This opportunity centers on 1997</h3>
<p>Within this year, all contents of the failure from Adam, Jesus, to all ancestors have to be cleansed. All the ancestors in the spiritual world and their descendants are expecting the True Parents and Messiah to liberate them and bring God&#8217;s worldwide blessing. Then, how can True Parents accomplish God&#8217;s will? God&#8217;s will cannot be accomplished just by exerting one&#8217;s mind. A bridge has to be built. If the bridge is destroyed, they have to build a brick bridge. If the brick bridge falls, then, a stone bridge. If the stone bridge fails, then, a wooden bridge. If the wooden bridge fails, then a leather bridge. No matter what happens, people have to cross the bridge. Once they cross a bridge, the bridge becomes useless.</p>
<h3 align="center">This year is that bridge</h3>
<p>I ordered that to be finished by June 4. I cannot explain it because God&#8217;s secret must not be disclosed. I alone have to resolve that in relationship with God and Satan. The heavenly plan cannot be discussed with anyone. If the providential contents could be discussed, the providence of restoration would be very easy.</p>
<h3 align="center">Restoration of Sung Jin and<br />
Sung Jin&#8217;s mother</h3>
<p>What True Mother has to do is to love the enemy, including True Mother&#8217;s enemy and the enemy of Mother&#8217;s son. My family includes Sung Jin&#8217;s mother and Sung Jin. Because Sung Jin&#8217;s mother was divorced seven years before True Mother&#8217;s marriage, True Mother does not know her. However, True Mother has to love her and her son.</p>
<p>Even though Sung Jin&#8217;s mother is divorced, she and Sung Jin are in the position of mother and son in the realm of Cain. Because there is a Cain-type mother, there has to be a Cain-type father, who is God. Because Christianity did not unite and receive me, there are two blood ties in my family. However, they should be united.</p>
<p>I have educated True Mother indirectly until now. True Mother has supported Sung Jin and his mother to make their lives more convenient, moving them into a different house twice. True Mother is very great. Even though God predestined True Mother, she is a great Mother. I respect her very much. In order to buy them a new house, True Mother had to raise money. If Sung Jin had <i>han </i>towards True Mother due to his mother&#8217;s difficult situation, it would be a serious problem. Because their house was small, True Mother bought a new house twice.</p>
<p>Even though True Mother bought a house, I cannot blame her for doing that. I alone looked around the house which she bought. It was before the Olympic Games in 1988. Since this was the national transition period to find the realm of the worldwide second son, I had to establish such a condition. After looking around the house alone, I asked True Mother to accompany me there within that year. In secular terms, how bad would she have felt? However, after True Mother had been there, she said, &#8220;I thought that the house would be a good one in Seoul, but I felt sorry because it was not.&#8221; When I heard that, I told True Mother that she was great.</p>
<p>Therefore, they should be united. However, you don&#8217;t know how unfilial Sung Jin was to True Mother. Even though True Mother wanted to invite him to some celebration such as a birthday party, he was not willing to come. It is not his own mind; his circumstances and condition are holding him back. He has to surrender voluntarily. It is not so easy. Therefore, if Sung Jin&#8217;s mother curses True Mother, who bears many children and lives in comfort, it will influence Sung Jin and will raise a serious problem. When Heung Jin had his accident, thankfully Sung Jin&#8217;s mother said, &#8220;How can it be possible for such a thing to happen to the good Mother?&#8221;</p>
<p>Those two blood ties have to be arranged. The restoration of indemnity cannot be done without establishing the indemnity condition. When Sung Jin&#8217;s mother dies, she has to come to that point of saying that she wants to hand over all her fortune to True Mother. Mother&#8217;s responsibility is to have Sung Jin&#8217;s mother surrender voluntarily.<b> </b>Thus, she may say that even though she is dying, she wants True Mother to serve and attend True Father more than she wished in her earthly life, and to bless True Children. It is not an easy thing. It is a very difficult thing.</p>
<h3 align="center">The role of Mrs. Won Pok Choi</h3>
<p>Sung Jin&#8217;s mother divorced me. Therefore, instead of Sung Jin&#8217;s mother, Won Pok Choi came out from the Choi clan and abandoned her husband and children to follow me. In spite of all the opposition of her tribe, she had to prepare for the way of True Mother and had to serve True Mother as her own mother and her daughter. Without serving True Mother like a daughter, daughter-in-law, mother, and grandmother, restoration is impossible. Do you understand what I am saying? Thus, True Father, True Mother, and the eldest son stand as one line, and then all people have to follow the eldest son.</p>
<p>Joon Ho Seuk! Did your elder brother commit suicide? (We don&#8217;t know if he was murdered or committed suicide.) In providential history, such tragic events also happen. In the spiritual world, how much suffering does he have? He was a lovely son in his family, who graduated from Seoul National University. How much did Mrs. Choi&#8217;s children miss their mother? In this sense, I am an unforgivable sinner. However, because I have to restore the way of heaven, it was necessary. Due to the fall, humankind lost the portion of responsibility. Therefore, only I can restore the disordered world.</p>
<p>Then, how hard is it to fulfill Mother&#8217;s responsibility? True Mother could take care of the church internally, but when I went out, I accompanied Mrs. Choi, who was in the position to prepare the way of True Mother. I taught True Mother about the official way to go in the future through Mrs. Choi. Moreover, grandmother Hong (Daemo-Nim) received a revelation from the spiritual world and coached True Mother how to adjust to my way. In the midst of trouble, grandmother Hong played an important role for liberating True Mother and bear again True Mother&#8217;s mind and body. No one in the Unification Church knew about that. Even the former president of the church, Mr. Eu, did not know that.</p>
<p>After the Holy Wedding Ceremony, I directed grandmother Hong to use the back door of the church. There were over twelve groups which were competing with each other to be True Mother. It was my responsibility to put the competition in order. You do not know how difficult it was to raise True Mother. Do you understand? True Mother was not chosen without the Principle. You should not follow me with a sorrowful mind.</p>
<p>Because of this process, I could not raise True Mother until 1992. Because women are talkative, a woman has a great possibility to disclose providential secrets. Therefore, after accomplishing all things for forty years, from 1952 until 1992, with the liberation of women, True Mother could stand beside me with equal qualification. From that time, I began a three to four-year course of handing over my authority to True Mother. I am going such a way now until this year.</p>
<p>By this year, everything has to be done. Do you understand? Therefore, I am in such a hurry. If we go through this year without accomplishing this, problems will occur. Thus, the foundation for the settlement of the Family Federation for World Peace has to be prepared, and it has to be connected to the proclamation ceremony of the completion of indemnity. Otherwise, I cannot bless the whole world beyond the nation, the 3.6 million couples. Do you understand?</p>
<h3 align="center">Reversing blood lineage<br />
through the Blessing</h3>
<p>To follow this way, you have to take a course of reversing two mothers&#8217; blood ties, through the ceremony of the change of blood lineage. By whose name does this take place? Mine. The seed of a baby comes from the father, not from the mother. However, the baby seed has to be able to settle down and connect with the parents; therefore, the ceremony to change blood lineage is done with the name of True Parents. That ceremony is also the ceremony of restoration through the archangel, True Mother, and True Father. The Holy Wine Ceremony is the conditional ceremony in which Adam and Eve find their first love, and as Adam gives the wine cup to the woman it is the same as love. You should know that the Holy Wine contains such conditional elements. It is a serious problem.</p>
<p>The 3.6 million couples Blessing will be the twelfth Blessing ceremony. The Blessing ceremony started from the first and second Holy Wedding ceremonies, 3 couples, 36 couples, 72 couples, 120 couples, 430 couples, 777 couples, 1800 couples, 8000 couples, 6500 couples, 30,000 couples, 360,000 couples, and 3.6 million couples. The 3.6 million couples Blessing is the last. The earth takes twelve months to revolve 360 degrees. By connecting 3.6 million Blessed couples centering on the number 12, the whole world is destined to follow the Blessing. No one can prevent the direction of the worldwide providence. It is the time of the blessing for the worldwide liberation. This is the formula course.</p>
<p>The 36 couples made mistakes. No one knows, if Joon Ho Seuk enters the 36 couples. It is the blessing that such a person receives. Do you understand? Without the ties of love, the blood lineage cannot be changed. In the Last Days, the Lord of the Second Advent has to take such a course. The Holy Wine is the conditional element which connects the traditional blood ties and distinguishes the first and last through unifying two sons who are connected to the love of two mothers. Do you understand?</p>
<p>Jin Moon Kim, you should know that if your family has two mothers, the second mother becomes the main stream. You do not remember what I said before. The grandfather becomes the grandson, the mother becomes the daughter, and the wife becomes the subject. Everything is reversed. This is a revolution. Without being willing to sacrifice three generations, this cannot turn around. You have to sacrifice grandfather, father, and elder brother.</p>
<p>However, the grandmother, mother, and elder sister should remain. Therefore, if a war breaks out and the enemy country is defeated, women are taken to the other country. Armies save women&#8217;s lives, but kill men. You should make a strong determination to be able to sacrifice grandfather, father, and elder brother.</p>
<p>In the Unification Church, before the tribal messiah emerges, you cannot celebrate your sixtieth birthday anniversary or birthday party in your family or clan. I did not celebrate my birthday for three years. For my birthday, I ate a plain meal and lived with a mourning heart for three years. Can you understand this? It cannot be done without love.</p>
<p>Moreover, why did I establish God&#8217;s Day on January 1, 1968? It was impossible before True Mother to make the foundation for all women who are determined to love God and True Parents by uniting all women. Do you understand what I mean? (Yes!) The queen must not be jealous of the king&#8217;s love for the ladies of the palace. The way of the queen is to guide the way of the king whom she loves.</p>
<p>In the same way, by loving all women of the world, True Mother has to set up the condition to become the first representative in introducing to all women the way to love only True Parents and God. True Mother has to love every woman as her blood sister and even bear the cross of the Messiah instead of God in order to save them. In one&#8217;s mind, there should be nothing which prevents one from going the way of the cross, throughout the north, south, east and west. Once such a base was established, God&#8217;s Day could be founded. You should know that clearly. It is not for fun or a game.</p>
<p>Because the way of restoration is like that, 6,000 years was the period of God&#8217;s sorrow and painful heart. If it were not for me, the painful period would be a hell of thousands of millions of years. I know everything. However, even though I do not teach them, when the time is fulfilled, everyone will know the way they should go. If a person goes a wrong way, conflict results. I know that Principle. That is the heavenly fortune and the fortune of our nation.</p>
<h3 align="center">Raising up righteous people</h3>
<p>Without setting indemnity conditions and applying the Principle, nothing can be established. Until the establishment of God&#8217;s Day, there was a lot of tragic history. In order to found God&#8217;s Day, I went though the way of servant of servant and had to pass over the way of death.</p>
<p>True Parents&#8217; Day and Children&#8217;s Day also were established under such indemnity conditions. Therefore, even though you were not aware of it, in the providential transition period, the righteous members of Unification Church had to be sacrificed. If there are no such righteous people in the Unification Church, many righteous Christians or other religious people are sacrificed in order to fit the program. For you to be led to this precious position, many sacrifices have been made. Thus, you have to bear the fruits to be able to invite God and the angels.</p>
<p>No one is qualified to see True Parents with his own eyes. No one can see True Parents directly and greet True Parents directly. True Parents did not serve God in such a manner. True Parents served God with absolute, unchanging and unique faith.</p>
<p>True Parents sent national messiahs all over the world. However, even if two-thirds of them are sacrificed, it will not be sufficient to indemnify your responsibility. On the contrary, you should be grateful that your family is not hurt. Do you understand? If it were not for True Parents, everything would be destroyed. Therefore, you should have united with True Parents absolutely, but you did not do so.</p>
<p>Starting from today, I will seldom have time to make a speech. I already taught you the public way. From now, God&#8217;s Day and True Parents&#8217; Day have to become your days. Moreover, <i>Ae Seung Il</i> also has to become your day. The Blessed families as the descendants of True Parents have the responsibility to establish the heavenly tradition and develop it by connecting their tribe and nation to the central tradition of True Parents through the Blessing. This is the necessary formula of the providence of restoration. You should be the second Rev. Moon. Do you understand? (Yes!)</p>
<h3 align="center">Accomplishing the worldwide Blessing</h3>
<p>The Blessing of 3.6 million couples is not a difficult problem because God has prepared for the Blessing. The 33 representatives of the Korean independence movement are very similar to the 33 representatives of the Uruguayan independence movement. Moreover, every memorial day in Uruguay coincides with Korea&#8217;s, according to the month. It is an amazing fact that God prepared for Uruguay.</p>
<p>Why? As I said before, the life of Jesus was miserable. He had a mother but no father. Even though he had a mother, he could not talk with her. Jesus came to make a family, but there was no foundation to be able to discuss the Blessing.</p>
<p>Since Eve fell at the age of 16, Jesus talked to mother Mary about his marriage at the age of 17. When Jesus was 17 years old, he talked about his marriage for the first time, and again after ten years, at the age of 27. After three years, he talked about it a third time. However, since his request was not accepted, he had to leave his house. Before Jesus, every woman in his family was in the position of Eve.</p>
<p>This is the era of free sex-grandmother and grandson, mother and son, brother and sister. In the history of restoration, the way has to be reversed. In the Last Days, divorce has become prevalent and the integrity of love has been lowered. This is one reason for establishing one central figure. However, since America, which has formed the world of death in these Last Days, lost the central figure, the Messiah, America will be destroyed within forty years.</p>
<p>Without True Parents, the Messiah, there is no real husband, wife, mother, grandmother and grandfather. Therefore, centering on Jesus, the blood lineage of grandmother, mother, and sister has to be produced. Their blood lineages have to be united.</p>
<p>The bonds of the blood lineage centering on Jesus become the condition for cutting off Satan. There are the four stages of daughter, sister, mother, and grandmother. In order to remove Satan, the blood lineage has to be cut off. Who has to relate with the Messiah? The younger sister of John the Baptist has to relate with the Messiah. In order to destroy Satan&#8217;s blood lineage completely, free sex and divorce prevailed. Thus, in Satan&#8217;s world all is breaking up because Satan does not have his own possessions. Satan established worldwide dominion by destroying families and causing the juvenile delinquency and family break-up which started in Adam&#8217;s family. That is the final point of Satan&#8217;s way.</p>
<p>Centering on the Blessing of the individual and family, the Blessing will go beyond the tribe and nation and expand to the world. If the realm of the worldwide Blessing is formed, Korea cannot but follow that level. The Holy Blessing Ceremony is the way to put the world in order through the family path.</p>
<p>Are you going to fulfill the responsibility or not? (We will do it.) In order to overcome the tragic position of the sacrifice of three generations, we have to accomplish the realm of the worldwide Blessing. If you do not fulfill this now, you have nothing to do with me. In a sense, when the nationwide Blessing is accomplished, there may be a way to be forgiven. At that time, you have to pass over the three stages of the worldwide level. Then, a time of special amnesty will come. Do you understand?</p>
<p>Those people who thought that as long as a man and woman do not have a sexual relationship, and that everything else is permitted must hold the Holy Wine Ceremony again. You have to cross over with pure blood ties. Do you understand? If there is such a fellow, warn him. Who on earth taught like that? You cannot deal with any woman other than your wife. Do you understand?</p>
<p>Women are always a problem. How miserable my life has been! I love purity. However, in order to remove all kinds of evil and impurity and be clean, I could not help going the way of mourning and death. I have to make True Mother&#8217;s second body.</p>
<p>Likewise, God&#8217;s Day was established on such a serious position of True Mother and True Father centering on the way of True Love. Before God&#8217;s Day was founded, the liberation of God had to be accomplished, so True Parents prepared the conditional foundation of the male world and the female world on which God could come and go freely.</p>
<p>True Parents&#8217; Day is the same. True Mother had to go through such a way. <i>Ae Seung Il</i> is also the same. In front of three dead bodies, True Parents had to go into the deepest realm of death and wailing, and plant the seeds of the original love for God. Without that, the Kingdom of God, which can liberate sons and daughters, cannot be established. Therefore, since <i>Ae Seung Il</i> was established, the Seung Hwa ceremony was possible. That is, we receive the Blessing first on earth and go to the spiritual world.</p>
<p>How serious this is! The love and pride of True Parents is the accomplishment of the 3.6 million couples Blessing! You neither loved True Parents nor were proud of them. You have to pass over this peak. Through this, the time will come to liberate and bless you, and hold a ceremonial feast. If the 3.6 million couples Blessing is accomplished, 3.6 billion couples will be achieved within one year.</p>
<p>We have to assimilate the press in order to fulfill this purpose. That is why I founded a newspaper publishing company. You have to hurry up. The news of our Blessing has to be spread all over the world. Did you advertise it this time? We need to advertise!</p>
<p>Are you advertising it now? (Yes!) If you do not report about the Blessing to all people, you will be accused by them, and the responsibility of True Parents cannot be completed.</p>
<p>In the way of restoration, the history of True Parents is the way to liberate the traces of every enemy blood tie. We should remove everything from Adam&#8217;s family to Jesus&#8217; family. Thus, a plane is formed. On the plane, as the 3.6 million couples Blessing is established, Adam&#8217;s family, tribe, nation, country, and the world will be woven together at one time. As the spiritual world participates, centering on God and True Parents, it enters the position of the younger brother, the archangel. Heaven and earth should be liberated by receiving the Blessing following their descendants.</p>
<h3 align="center">The bridge of love</h3>
<p>If a person has a loving object partner who is in hell, he will go there and bring her out. The issue is true love. If a wife who lived for the sake of others went to hell, her husband can bring her from there. Satan has no right over her. Then, heaven and earth will be cleansed. The ideal of creation will be completed. All nations will go into the Kingdom of Heaven, and liberated people will bear good sons and daughters who can enter the Kingdom of Heaven directly.</p>
<p>The realm of the worldwide Blessing is the position of unfallen Adam and Eve reaching their completion. Theoretically, no one can deny my speech. Let us think about my accomplishments. In order to deal with such massive contents, I founded many organizations and have worked in accordance with the actual world. The fact that I overcame many crises and accomplished up to the worldwide level is cause for praise and eternal admiration.</p>
<p>However, you have dealt with this providential history at your convenience. Such sin cannot be forgiven by applying the law of individual indemnity but by setting the standard of living for the sake of others; I am bearing the cross and trying to indemnify sin. Do you understand? How serious is the world of True Parents! Have you ever heard your bone marrow cry? Only if all your senses are involved in crying can the fallen traces be erased.</p>
<h3 align="center">Heung Jin was a living sacrifice</h3>
<p>Since Heung Jin was sent as a living sacrifice, he is a bridge. Because Heung Jin is the bridge of the spiritual world centered on love and the family foundation, Jesus has to follow Heung Jin. Don&#8217;t you have to go through the bridge of the family? Heung Jin is the only person who went to the spiritual world as the victorious sacrifice who was loved by True Parents as their son. Thus, he can control the spiritual world with full authority. Heung Jin would have gone to the spiritual world as just an ordinary person who died away from home. However, because True Parents established all conditions through this ceremony before his life was cut off, Satan could not interfere after his death. This is how the <i>Seung Hwa</i> ceremony came about. When Unificationists of three generations become truly united and hold the <i>Seung Hwa</i> ceremony, even a sinner can be forgiven. Do you understand the meaning of <i>Ae Seung Il</i>? (Yes!)</p>
<p>True Mother must not feel sad at that place. She must not shed tears. A few years ago, we went to the grave of my physical parents in North Korea. My elder sister and younger brother were wailing, saying that the son for whom their mother was waiting had finally come. However, in such a sorrowful place as my parents&#8217; grave, I could not shed tears even though pain was cutting my heart. Because I came here to fulfill my responsibility, I could not shed tears before fulfilling my mission. Otherwise, all the sorrowful spirits who died in North Korea could not be liberated. I made a promise that I would come back when I am liberated and hold a ceremonial feast there to liberate spirits who have <i>han. </i>Therefore, I am in a hurry for liberation. The liberation of South and North is necessary. Liberation is impossible without controlling the current history of the world centering on the unification of South and North Korea.</p>
<p>To show that he will support my will, Kim Jong Il sent a gift to True Parents this time. In order to celebrate the fifth anniversary of True Parents&#8217; visit, 500 officers gathered together to show their praise and admiration for Rev. Moon just as they did to Kim Il Sung. People are not doing things just because of their own minds. Something is turning around.</p>
<p>It is right that the second generation is coming from heaven. The second generation of the Soviet Union is like that. They are the second generation of the country which was evil. The young women from the second generation of Japan have to become sacrifices. By whom? Adam has to take off the trace of Eve&#8217;s fall. Japanese women went to every country to fulfill the responsibility of a mother. Therefore, Japan will not be destroyed. Reports on the good works of these women will eventually affect the thinking of the Japanese government.</p>
<p>Now, you should know how precious it is to keep <i>Ae Seung Il</i> while seeing the future of hope, the world of unity, and the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth. Think how to connect to the contents so that you can be a root. Do not live at your own convenience. Your lives should be connected to the root. Moreover, you should know that unless you make bonds of relatives and of master and servant, your way to go to the spiritual world will be blocked. Do you understand? This is the conclusion. Do not forget today, and please keep my speech in mind.</p>
<p>God Bless you!</p>
