Rev. Moon's Thought and Standard of Living
Today, all sovereign rulers and leaders of this world in this age cannot avoid this destiny. Through this, the greatest victory of the great cosmic battle will be won. Then one final victor will appear on earth. This is the Lord of Second Advent, King of Kings who comes with the supreme authority.
I am waiting and longing for the Lord. But you don't need to long for him, do you? I am not demanding and forcing you to agree with me. If you have an ear to hear, then you can listen to what I say. If you don't want to hear it, then let's wait and see.
Where can we meet the Lord? Centering on the Lord, even if the world does not recognize him, the world must respond to him. Because the Lord appears to the world after gaining the final victories in the family, clan, people, nation and the world levels. In final analysis, he will appear victoriously. Even though this world rejects him, the Lord comes with such power and conviction. His victory is not limited to his own but he will share unconditionally with all people as sons and daughters of the entire humankind.
It does not stop there. He will make the realm of absolute victory. Then, He will build up the ideal realm that we have never seen in history; and corresponding the world of heart for all of us. So, we look to the left and say thank you Lord. See right, then thank you. Looking down, thank you. Looking up, thank you. Looking at anywhere, only we can say thank you. So, our Unification church must become such a church. Rev. Moon followed this standard of living. Actually, this is how I have lived my life. You may say, "Wow, this logic is good. Wonderful." Logic is logic. But, I have lived in this way. Then, what is the conclusion? I can tell you with great confidence. I have been fighting for this purpose every single day until now. But, I have not botched it. Also, I am neither hesitated nor tired. I will continue living this way with confidence.
If the entire one hundred million Japanese people come against me, I am confident that I will overcome. Even if three Billion people in the entire world oppose me, I am certain that I will go over. If the entire spirit world of tens of billions of people raise a flag to come against me. I will tell them, "You idiot! Don't you know I will never retreat just because you oppose me?" I receive tremendous persecutions in Korea while I moved forward this path that I could not deviate. But I would not be swallowed because of being beaten. Rather, despite being beaten, I swallowed people who attacked me. If this struggle takes 10 years, please hit me for 10 years. If you still have energy to fight after 10 years, let's fight for 20 years. If you still want to fight after 20 years, then let's continue for 30 years. Even though this will continue tens of thousands of years, I will continue. This is my thought and heart.
