The Completion of the Dispensation of Salvation and the Providential Age of Love

Rev. Sun Myung Moon
October 4, 1989
Father's Speech at the Fourth Anniversary of the Day of Total Victory

We must always remember about three most important things: love, life, and blood lineage. The purpose of God's dispensation is to establish these three things substantially on earth. There are only two kinds of people: men and women. The purpose of God's dispensation is to save both men and women. To complete the salvation dispensation and establish the love dispensation, men and women must harmonize.

The dispensation can be so complicated, but at the same time quite simple. Fortunately, we now know the simple explanation. God's dispensation was to recreate Adam, and then recreate Eve, and harmonize them. More important than the fact that Adam and Eve lost love was that God lost love. So God needs to recreate love and centering on this love, harmonize Adam and Eve. In order for this dispensation to have any meaning, it must include both a man and a woman. Adam represents the unified heaven and earth and all historical individuals, families, clans, nations, and the world. Likewise, Eve represents unified heaven and earth and all of these levels. When this perfected man and woman unite then the whole world will come into unity centering on love. After the Fall, man and woman's mind and flesh became separated; therefore, east, west, north and south became separated from God. It was Satan who made the widespread separation of mankind, not God. You have to be clear on this point.

How can we unify these realms? Man lost all ownership at the time of the Fall. Woman, too, was separated from her property. Satan separated owner and property and promoted war between all people of the world. How can Abel help elevate that fallen world to a point where Satan can no longer cause separation? There are many worlds to contend with: the woman's world, the man's world, cultural traditions and backgrounds. These must be restored through man and woman cooperation. How can man's course and woman's course be united? This is the major problem. Men and women must always pursue love, life, and lineage.

The restored Adam and Eve, centering on true love, will come into complete harmony. Because of this love, they will give birth to new lives, and those new lives will form a new blood lineage. The world populated with that lineage would belong completely to God; there would be no other element in that world. What about our blood stream? What is its origin? That blood comes from the life of the parents; the mother's and father's life connect into one new life; from there comes our blood lineage.

Men and women are very different in nature. What can make them ignite into one exciting burst of light? Only true love can ignite the fire!

Do you have that true love? True Parents have absolute and eternal love. But we inherited the wrong root of love through the Fall. Here in the Western world, many deny that the Fall occurred: "Who has fallen? What has anyone in my lineage done wrong?" But love, in the beginning of mankind, started in the wrong direction. Without recognizing this, then salvation and a religious life becomes meaningless. What is the final purpose of salvation? Mankind, represented by a tree, has multiplied fallen nature throughout the world. Restoration of love, life, and blood lineage must occur in the reverse order.

Religion is the process to solve these three problems. To fulfill these purposes, God established the Jewish religion, which now represents the Old Testament Age. After that, there was the New Testament Age, and then the Completed Testament Age. Each age was different. In the Old Testament Age the main condition was the act of making an offering. What was the real purpose of the offering in regards to these three goals? Its purpose was to cleanse the blood. Without draining away the stained blood, we cannot find life under God's domain. In Jesus' time, people needed to become one with him in order to find life. Jesus represented the life center for all mankind. The purpose of completely loving and uniting with Jesus was to restore true love. Do you now understand meaning of these ages?

The concept of offering appears quite early in the Old Testament Age. Offering all things was connected to the blood lineage. If we ask a religious man or high priest today, "What is the meaning of offering and sacrifices throughout history?" they cannot give a clear answer. We know the reason is to cleanse the blood and gain life and love after that.

In the New Testament Age the purpose was to restore life, which also was connected to the lineage. The Completed Testament Age is the age of love. In the Old Testament Age, man had to bear the cross of all things; in the New Testament Age, man had to bear the cross of life; in the Completed Testament Age we are now bearing the cross of love. After that, we will belong to God. That is what the new messiah has been doing on the face of this earth. He has been bearing the cross of love. Because of his sacrifice, the world of love will be liberated.

The purpose of the Old Testament was to restore all things through sacrificing them. By sacrificing Jesus, God's son, the parents are restored. By sacrificing the parents, God can be restored. If everything happened as God intended and Christianity had followed God's prescribed course, then the Messiah wouldn't have suffered so much here on earth; he would inherit that foundation and go directly into the age of love. This was the whole meaning of salvation throughout history. Today we have reached the final age: the love dispensation age which is directly administered by God.

The "Old Testament" in Korean means "old promise", while "New Testament" in Korean means "new promise"; likewise, the "Completed Testament" is "completed promise".

Our present purpose is clear. We have to follow the way that I pioneered. All of the vertical history is now occurring horizontally centering on us.

If we draw a circle, the Old Testament Age is the periphery, the New Testament Age is inside that, and the Completed Testament Age is the innermost circle, with the center being God. For example, in the Old Testament there were all things, individuals, and couples. What would have been vertical indemnity of the Old Testament Age is now being expressed horizontally, which makes it easier and more practical to restore because we cannot physically go back to the Old Testament Age. So today we must restore all things, the children's position, and the couple relationship.

Let us make an analogy. Clothing belongs to the creation so it represents the Old Testament Age. The body represents the New Testament Era. The mind represents original man's position. Together, they represent the completion of all three ages.

Let's look at ourselves. Does what we wear, representing all things, belong to me because it has been clearly restored? Although they exist as real objects, they may not have anything to do with God. They are not original because they are not connected to God's lineage.

For the original "me" to emerge, I must originated in God's love, God's life, and God's lineage. It did not happen, therefore we are still trying to connect. We have to connect to these three things or the dispensation of salvation has nothing to do with us. Do you understand?

When the Fall took place, everything happened at one time, not separately. Just one act of the fall brought forth this whole fallen tree. Since we lost these three all at one time, in restoration we have to deny the whole tree all at the same time. Otherwise, we cannot bring ourselves back to God. We may have loved and respected our ancestors, but after knowing this, we want to deny them because we now know from whose lineage we come. This is why all major religions have been teaching us to deny our family, our belongings, our nations and spiritual atmosphere, and even ourselves. We must go back to zero. From there we can start anew, like God when He first created in His own image.

In restoring all of these three elements it is very necessary to have the father/son relationship. Fallen man exists only as a shell. Inside he has nothing; it's just like a scarecrow with a form but nothing else. He must receive love and become one with the parents. Before finding new life, there has to be love. In our case, we have life, but since there was no true love, our originating point was not God.

Religion has taught people to deny everyone and everything that has anything to do with you. Religion has been teaching people to even deny their own lives. Jesus said, "Those who want to lose their lives will gain them." Why? Because everything belongs to Satan's side, that which belongs to earth belongs to hell and has nothing to do with God. So when we stay the way we are and go to spirit world, we cannot go to heaven.

In established Christianity, they emphasize Jesus' blood. Why is the blood so meaningful? They don't know clearly. But we know that Jesus' blood means the parents' blood before the Fall: true blood.

Can Father alone, by himself, inherit these three thing? Not without Mother! This is why the goal in the Old Testament was to have the Marriage of the Lamb.

Where do fallen men belong? They are born and are fully mature physically, but in essence they have not been truly born. They have to go back into their mother's womb and even before that--back into the father's bone marrow.

It is written in Bible, "Unless you are born again, you cannot be saved," which means exactly that. We have to spiritually go back to the father's bone marrow and start anew; that means his blood lineage is mine, his love is my love, his life is my life.

That's what restoration means: we have to go back to that original position. Then the father will marry the mother and through the mother's womb we are born again spiritually. The mother has to be willing to shed blood and even sacrifice her life to give birth to children. The parents' sacrifice establishes the order of love; upon that foundation, children can be born.

Basically all that we have to know is that Father embodies the new LOVE, LIFE, AND BLOOD LINEAGE. Unless you connect with all three, you cannot connect with God.

If we tramp on the satanic old blood lineage, in God's eyes is it a crime to do that or not? In the Orient, parents strictly discipline the children to educate them to follow the straight way. Although it is hard on the children, that way Satan must leave them. Here in the Western world, discipline is very lax so education is ineffective. Oriental people always want to stand up straight, whereas Western people are always sitting down for they cannot stand up for long periods of time.

So the most important unification is with God and True Parents. God is the vertical true love center parent. The established churches don't know that; they call him Heavenly Father, the Creator, but they don't know the inner contents of God. Unificationists know that the Creator is true love center vertical parents. What is the definition of vertical? It has to do with love and lineage. Once this vertical relationship is established, we can travel back and forth through it. How do you know that this line is vertical? Vertical means that it is the shortest distance between two points of love. Love never detours; it travels straight, taking the shortest possible distance. Father suffered so much to discover this truth about the vertical line.

Let's say a husband has been out at war and had many narrow escapes and come back on a ship. At the port, when his wife comes to greet him, does she run straight to him or go zigzagging over the pier? She will not only go the shortest distance, but travel in the shortest time. Love has the fastest speed in the universe. The speed of love is even faster than speed of thought.

What kind of king can occupy this very straight vertical line? Only the true love king is qualified to do that. When you see a tree standing in the distance, you can immediately tell whether it is straight or not. Your eyes are horizontal, so how can they measure vertical things? It's because our mind is straight. Because God's vertical true love center is connected with me, my mind automatically resembles that vertical love. My mind is my vertical self. Humanity still doesn't understand that point, but when you came to the Unification Church you understood this for the first time. Your mind is not just "thinking"; it is your vertical self.

What is my body? We inherited it from our horizontal parents. Where do the dual characteristics of an individual meet? At the true love center. The reason you need to connect with this center is because together you form a complete circle. We have to intersect right at the center to make a perfect circle. We cannot intersect any place and still achieve this.

So the father/son relationship is vertical and the husband/wife relationship is horizontal. The vertical relationship existed even before birth, but the ultimate conclusion of the purpose of life is this horizontal marriage relationship. A person will say, "I have grown up for 20 years and have now graduated from college and have a good job. But now, my purpose in life is to find the right woman; nothing matters except this."

Those women who would prefer to have ten Ph.D. degrees and give up marriage, raise your hands. What about the men? You must get married because your sexual organ would be very sad if you stay single. There is no remedy for that except having a marriage partner. This is the most important of all truths. That is why we call this our holy place. Shouldn't God have a holy place in the body that He created? It is the originating place of love, life, and blood lineage. Therefore, these organs have the three most important keys. These three elements are the foundation for true ownership. But fallen man hasn't know how to use those keys.

This precious connecting place between man and woman is so important. You must become completely aligned with your spouse, forming a straight line. Love is in such disorder in this society. Promiscuous, homosexual, and even Incestuous relationships are rampant; these have no place in God! Many families have such terrible situations. When we lose all orderliness of love our destination is hell. Do we have a history of love which is consistent with this law of love? If we don't, then we have to really repent, so much that we are willing to even cut off a part of our body. Are you sons of God or sons of Satan? To be God's son you must be absolutely pure. Now we understand Jesus' paradoxical teaching: "Those who would lose their life, will gain it." No one has understood this clearly until Rev. Moon came to the world. We have to repent, not just with words but with our eyes, our nose, and each different part of our body. We stand in the position to repent a thousand times over in order to restore history.

I can bring you love, life, and blood lineage. What is mine can be yours. Jesus said, "Let the dead bury the dead!" This means let the spiritually dead bury the physically dead. But you must connect with life! I have searched so long for solutions to the mysteries in the Bible. I will never be satisfied with only a vague idea--I need a straight answer. Do not ever say, "Oh Father, you take too many hours in giving the sermon." I am trying so hard. I can give this conclusion in fifteen minutes, but can you understand it in 15 minutes? These things have to do directly with your eternal life. So unless you know how serious I am day in and day out, you cannot criticize me.

So now, after accomplishing all this we are entering into the fantastic new era of the dispensation of love. That is the conclusion of Father's sermon. Unless we understand this point clearly, we won't be able to comprehend what Father will do from now on. The wild olive tree must connect with the true olive tree. It has to be grafted to it strongly so that it will never disconnect again. In grafting, where do you have to cut? Would you like to graft from the feet or from the neck?

Father once saw a 2,000-year-old wild olive tree in Israel--it was huge. Let's say that huge tree is about to be grafted into a true olive tree. It will have to give up all its big branches and be connected to a rather small part of the true olive tree. Bystanders who see that comment, "He must be crazy! He is giving up everything in order to gain something he doesn't understand." That 2,000-year-old tree that was just grafted has nothing--no parents, no family, no country--just its body, not even branches! All the other wild olive trees are laughing at this big olive tree who is grafted onto a new bud.

So the world has been laughing at me: "He is called the Lord of the Second Advent, yet now he is in Danbury." Do you think we have been right or wrong in being persecuted by our own family, even kidnapped by our own parents, but staying in the church?

This is the reason why, if you had a love relationship with someone before you joined the family, he is your enemy. Never have a lingering memory of that person who ruined your first love. Have you ever stopped to think seriously about your past? How can you restore our first love to heaven? It is so difficult because your original mind was spoiled. So your first love was worse than Satan. God cannot stand your background, because the original owner of love is God. But your ancestor was Satan. Satan promoted this world of free sex. He was watching the providential time for the coming of the second advent. Satan knew that the messiah's purpose was to restore purity on the earth, so he corrupted this world, creating the most impure atmosphere in all of human history. Who can save this diseased world? You have to save them. You have to become a salvation doctor who can give an injection of true love.

How proud are we of our mission? You cannot compare any other time with this time in history. There are signs everywhere of the decline of this society, so we must cling to this new life. With your impure history, do you expect that your original spouse can just appear in front of you and love you? You must make a standard of truth, centering on the true love tradition, for your future generations. You still have Satan's blood, Satan's life, Satan's love. If you abuse your position, future generations will accuse you of being worse than Adam and Eve.

Can you understand Satan and overcome him by yourself? No! I came to give you eternal truths but you didn't welcome me. You cannot change your blood lineage if you are impure. Even through you may hide things on earth, everything becomes clear in the spirit world. That is why I am so serious with you now.

Did you cry out so much in repentance that the whole world heard you? You must do this so that history won't judge you. My whole life was filled with tears, shame, and persecution from Satan. I was like a rock, always being stepped upon and kicked. You have things so easy! Through being beaten I was resurrecting this world. That is why I was so serious, living this way year in and year out.

Now, we must make the vertical 90 degrees line, not 45 degrees. You stand in the position of all of history, representing the Old, New, and Completed Testament. Your blessed couple is representing True Parents. In fulfilling your tribal messiahship your position will be like that of Jesus Christ. But you have to rededicate yourselves to God. God still doesn't have ownership of people. He was originally the owner of thought, of people, of all activities, but because of the Fall everything was lost. Who can restore ownership to God? This is the messiah's mission--the True Parents' mission. Both parents must appear in the fallen world and start restoration through a course of recreation. We must be absolutely centered on God and the vertical True Parents. On a globe, every surface point can send a vertical axis to the center point. When the vertical center moves everyone moves in the same way. Father want to create that system throughout the earth where everyone is standing on a vertical axis.

I am true vertical love representative, because my mind represents vertical True Love and is completely connected to the center point. We are the horizontal true love parents. So we represent vertical true love, true life, and true blood lineage, and horizontal true love, true life, and true lineage. God bequeathed His vertical true love to me at the time of my birth. We are now one in love, life, and blood lineage: we are true love partners. Then I made the horizontal 90 degrees connection, which can be multiplied to many levels.

When man fell, he lost these three points. He lost his purpose. I found this purpose and am completely connected to God's love, life, and lineage. Now I have clearly educated you.

So now we have the original vertical parents, connected to God's center place and expanding their vertical axis to the child. That is why the children cannot separate from the parents. Spouses can separate because they were 20 or more years old when they first met. But children connect right from the beginning to the parents' love. So children can never cast out their parents; instead, they must follow them. We need to absolutely trust True Parents, for they have the original love, life, and blood lineage. If you lose that, you cannot stand in front of God.

This is the moment is where the salvation dispensation is coming to an end; it is connecting directly into the love dispensation era. This never came about automatically. I had to dedicate my whole life for this purpose, and now it is being fulfilled.

We need to be a tribal messiah, but before we are a tribal messiah, we have to know the cosmic messiah's background. Now we know why we had to restore the Old, New, and Completed Testament, going the sacrificial way of the cross. This was to gain true love, true life, and true blood lineage. To inherit those three, you have to meet the vertical Creator Parents and the horizontal original parents. Centering on purity you can connect and become a true son.

Now I am going to explain what I had to do to cleanse the blood lineage. In cleansing the blood lineage, I started from the servant of servant's position, and went through the servant's, adopted son's, step-son's, and true son's position. When you become a true son you can connect to the Holy Spirit, which is the mother's spirit. At that time you will be able to connect to the husband. That is Father's place. Finally, the eighth stage is return to God.

Father had to do this in order to cleanse all the historical blood lineages of different stages. After that, the connection into life was made. This was originally established Christianity's role.

You have to pass all these levels to make the completion of salvation. This is for you, your family, your tribe, your country, and YOUR WORLD! I dedicated my whole lifetime for this salvation course to save you, not Rev. Moon. I never took one rest. I was born as the king of kings, but I never experienced a king's palace or sovereignty. I stayed in the lowest place. The whole historical foundation was lost and I had to build it up. You must now spread my love foundation horizontally.

I always prayed to God, "I am going to be Your true soldier." It was such a lonely course of persecution. I didn't make one sound of complaint to God. This is what I am proud of. Compare that with you during your few years in the Unification Church.

So remember, this is for you! God is not far away, God is in me. True love, life, and blood lineage are all here. It was so difficult for God to create a providential launching pad on the earth for the savior. Then, after I was born, my course was so miserable.

All religious people, saints and martyrs had been building this foundation up step by step, and sometimes they failed and had to painfully start all over again. I take my course so seriously because that is what all religious people have been working for throughout history. If established Christianity fulfilled its original mission as intended by God, and connected its foundation with me, I would have arranged God's world already, without suffering, bloodshed, or sacrifice. But as it is, I worked all of my life for this purpose. If Christianity had understood the historical providence and united with me, the Unification Church wouldn't even have been necessary.

So I had to re-indemnify these 4,000 years of history. I could not do it in 400 years because I wouldn't live that long, so I had to do that in 40 years. Knowing the full meaning of the dispensation, I couldn't even bear to live without reaching this goal. So I asked the world to persecute me. In 40 years, Father had to solve over 4,000 years of God's regret. My original position was very high but instead I had to go down to the bottom to start it all over again. "In the servant shoes with the heart of the parent," is exactly how Father lived. Mankind had an incredible debt to pay, but I stepped up and said, "Heavenly Father, I will be responsible for all of this." The only path I sought was how to die, over and over again. I always prayed, "I can perish, but Your love should be abundant on the face of this earth.

Your love alone is important to me." So God said, "My son, Rev. Moon, has planted My true love tradition in world, so I will excuse the world." Now God stands on this substantial territory instead of just the in realm of mind. That was my whole life's purpose. I had no worldly successes. Instead, I spent my life repaying humanity's debt. Because the first parents fell, at the time of the Second Coming, True Parents' inherited the mission to clean up everything in the world, including the spiritual world and future generations. Unification Church members really have to know that our church's history is completely different from established Christianity's 2,000 year history. I made our Unification history over an incredibly tedious 40 years. Now you come here and inherit that so easily.

Now, the brother's age is cleaned up. If established Christianity had fulfilled their mission, cleaning up the world foundation wouldn't have taken all this time. I took responsibility for doing it. When you go through this course, you will earn True Parents' respect. We have so far been in the indirect dominion age; we have just recently entered the direct dominion age. So to cleanse the satanic blood you must inherit the heart of the parents in the shoes of the servant. Can you inherit Father's way just by knowing it? No! You must kill your pride and experience the agony of the restoration course in order to meet Father. Father was so busy all of his life to save you. To become a true child you must inherit the parents' situation by saving others. You cannot take this lightly but give your whole life's effort. Then you can bear true olive fruit. How much have you participated in the worldwide battlefield? Father has been on this battlefield, indemnifying every situation in America. Since Father came here 15 years ago, he has served this continent completely and connected it to the whole Free World. No one else took up this position of responsibility.

When I went to Danbury, you were crying out, "Father, don't go to jail. I don't like that." But had anybody paid the indemnity for this nation? Out of all the Unification Church members, no one understood that. I was the only one is standing in that position. At the time Jesus was on the cross, many Jewish women were shedding tears and Jesus told them, "Do not weep for me, but for yourselves and for your children." It was the same concept at the time of Danbury. I was to inherit the highest position in providential history, but Satan spread propaganda that the worst name in history is that of Rev. Moon. Satan said, "I will tear down the love castle that surrounds Rev. Moon; I'll tear down everything and make a flat field." Was God able to visit me? No! I had to go this course alone--I had no teacher or even friend.

Do you know my course well? I had to build a victorious foundation in America; otherwise, I could not go back to Korea. I always visit America with a purpose. No matter how difficult it is, I never try to escape from my mission. I did everything because of God's providence. I made all the conditions necessary for the worldwide foundation.

When Father blessed 20,000 members, they symbolized the unity of the Israelites and the Roman Empire. The cosmic parents could then be established. I now have connected the worldwide foundation to Korea. These are the formation, growth, and perfection levels. From then, the world government and world parentship will appear. Those parents are God, as the vertical Parents, and True Parents, as the horizontal parents. The Divine Principle viewpoint is that you have to follow Father completely and absolutely. Otherwise, you will go astray. You must follow that course, and then cross the bridge and find freedom. This is your eternal position. Did America or the Free World take that kind position? No! So I have been building my own world of freedom. I have been paving the way, waiting for this time.

God is the most lonely one, but then we two combined into one and built up the foundation with literal tears, sweat and blood But now you can connect with this center without tears, sweat or blood. Is that difficult for you? How can you say that? Look at my clothes and body--there are blood stains, tear stains, and sweat stains everywhere. All of these stains were for you. What you don't realize here on earth, you will discover with regret in the spirit world. If I meet God in the spirit world, would we embrace with laughter or with great big tears? Tears! I have to maintain a position of dignity, but if I would forget everything, I would jump into God's bosom and cry to my heart's content.

For 40 years, I did what I had to do. But I am never proud of what I have done; I say, "I could have done better." In Danbury, where all the unfortunate, alienated people end up, I loved them more than anybody else on this earth, even their own families. God has been desperately trying to save our lives and has been persecuted by tens of millions of people. If you are to save a few lives, can you not tolerate a fraction of what I have endured in my lifetime? When I first heard I was indicted, I never tried to evade it. Instead, I took the first airplane and flew to America lest people should feel that I came back because I had no other choice. I gladly came here, because I knew that going to prison was the shortest path to save this nation. When America thought they had defeated Rev. Moon, Rev. Moon had them instead. I pledged, "I will never let go of this country no matter what happens."

Centering on this step in the dispensation, Father expanded tit horizontally. Have we gone the individual indemnity way, family indemnity way, tribe indemnity way, nation and cosmic indemnity way? One way has to be vertically, the other way, horizontally. Who did this or even thought about it? Why did Satan have to retreat? Why did the Communist world have to crumble? None other than because of this foundation. Centering on this foundation, Cain and Abel exchanged their positions. Cain had to come down to the second sonship and Abel had to go up to first sonship. Then Satan had to bow down, and God, who lived at the bottom throughout human history, was elevated.

Now neither the communist or free world can prevent the salvation of mankind. Since they have no other way to oppose Rev. Moon's salvation to the world, now they instead are trying to welcome me.

Cain and Abel have come to represent right side as the mind and left side as the body. After the Fall, man was separated into God's side and Satan's side. This pattern has been multiplied until, at the present time, it is manifest on the worldwide level. There are two kinds of people now: spiritual people and God-denying people. Satan's side has had the position of strength. I will unite those Cain and Abel philosophies in my headwing ideology. Communism has stood for one century, but Godism and headwingism will stand forever. Now, intelligent people in the world see that both the free world and the communist world are perishing. Headwing philosophy will take dominion; this is already starting.

Until now, Satan has had dominion, but I made a stronger philosophy and made a worldwide foundation. To make this foundation, 30 or 40 countries came against me in 1976. I combined America's persecution to me with other countries around the world. Everyone felt, "Oh, we don't like Rev. Moon, we are going to stop him." They wanted to continue this world of hell. But I did not perish; instead, I am still holding my position and proclaiming it to the whole cosmic world. Are you going to take the way of resurrection or way of destruction? Your confident answer sounds too clever and too clear; your internal contents are not so good. Satan spent his whole life analyzing and criticizing. If you do the same, you will resemble Satan.

It was not so easy to graduate past Satan. He couldn't imagine that I would decide to follow this course. Satan now has to kneel down before God and Rev. Moon.

The restoration of the elder sonship has been accomplished, so we are now coming to the age of direct dominion. That is the parents' era. Until now, only fighting between brothers occurred. During the course of restoration, the elder son always had authority; every time, the elder brother beat the younger brother. Now that pattern is reversing itself; through inheriting God's blood lineage and indemnifying the worldwide foundation, a crossing junction between elder and younger sonship was automatically created. Their positions have been exchanged; the elder is going down while the younger is coming up.

Both can only unite through the parents. The parents stand in the position to save all of humanity by connecting them to the starting point of the original world. You have to know clearly the historical background to understand the providential ages, vertically and horizontally. Father vertically restored the blood lineage, life and love. From this central point of love, a family system is created. This is the way the whole world will be restored. Father has stood in the position of brother in the past, but now stands in the second advent messiah's position. Jesus position was that of tribal messiah. What about us? Are we going to follow the way of tribal messiahship? This is such a precious time.

I am standing in the center position, sending out the positions of horizontal messiahship. Satan cannot invade this horizontal parentship path because of the Principle. Who is Father? He is the kingship parent, the cosmic parent. What is a tribal messiah? Kingship or tribal parentship? It is the same concept but a different level. Through horizontal parentship we will serve and spread God's foundation to the world. This new world cannot be invaded by Satan because it will be centered upon Father's words and lineage. Satan will have to leave through the back door. Satan was the original archangel and always advanced himself, but this will never happen again.

People can no longer persecute the parents. What is my philosophy? It is the true love theory. True love means the vertical 90 degree and horizontal 90 degree axis connecting to parentship. All generations must be born from the parents' blood lineage. Through love and life united with God, the new blood lineage emerged when I was born. You must go this way of truth. The Unification Church teaches this way of vertical and horizontal indemnity. I received worldwide persecution for the purpose of restoration; America is the chief archangel country and put me into prison.

I had to use an interpreter to make God's foundation in the Western world. At last, many thousands of people will accept my teaching. How can white people unite with Oriental thought? The Oriental and Western worlds must unite; this is absolutely necessary. Westerners have complained that I didn't understand Western people. But True Parents came to bring spiritual insight to this country. They were most precious guests. But the American government and people persecuted me. American leaders complained because I was Oriental and brought the Japanese leaders. Can I take back the Korean and Japanese leaders? No, because then you will not be able to inherit the Father's and Mother's position from them. This is God's providential perspective.

God has made the restoration order. Can the providence be centered on you white people? Absolutely not. You must be connected with Father; there is no other way. You must have parents! I am the center of that parentship, which is now extending to the tribal messiahship. I am the vertical center and horizontal center, represent the Creator and original True Parentship centering on True love. So what are your vertical and horizontal duties? Inherit the eldership blood lineage by absolutely uniting with Father.

There is still more to do. Because Jesus, the second Adam, died on the cross, we have to console his regretful heart. We must help solve Adam's regrets in the same way. Even our True Father, the third Adam, still has some regrets. How can the persecution of the third parents be indemnified? This is our remaining task: to solve the regrets of the three parentships. How can we serve True Parents? Until now, we were exchanging the brothership birthright. Now this has been accomplished. Now, we can pay back our mistakes and comfort True Parents' hearts by fulfilling tribal messiahship.

Look at the how the free world, and even the communist world, are coming to Father. Amazing things are happening in the Soviet Union and China. China knows how I was persecuted in America and they see me to be righteous. All other countries had to retreat in their negotiations with China, but I was able to continue because my purpose is the equalize the world economy.

America thought that I was such a foolish man, but now they see my victorious worldwide foundation. We built this foundation by working morning, day, evening, and night. Americans only knew the daylight, saying they didn't need the night, morning or evening. So I claimed ownership of all 24 hours--this is the natural way of subjugation. Who is smarter, then? Who has ownership? If you unite with me will you go down or up? You will win, because history moves ahead according to natural spiritual laws. I don't use propaganda but have been seriously preparing for the future. Why do you stay here? Because you are earning spiritual interest by being here.

Satan separated everything from the beginning of history: cultures, blood lineages, races, brothers, everything! Now I have appeared and my purpose has been to unite all the races, not by force, by true love.

Satan built up many kinds of fortresses, but Rev. Moon has been tearing down barriers of culture and race, based on the true love culture. Yellow, black, and white are combing into one family. How have I been doing this? Not just through brothers but through international couples. True Parents made this original true love tradition. This tradition will continue forever. Centered on that standard of love, we will naturally guide the destiny of the entire cosmos.

No matter how much property or economic foundation people have, the crucial issue in the future will be, Did they make unity with all people and all generations? But we are already following the way of unity and natural subjugation. You don't have to worry about the future because you are already a part of that love race of coordinated colors.

I am so interested in our future generations. In our church we can see a black baby born to and sucking from a white mother's breast. What a beautiful masterpiece of love! Father is making the foundation for peace from these international couples' love. In the future, Father's grandchildren will intermarry with all other races. Think about how the world will look 10 generations from now! Those descendants will all be part of the same family system.

I have broken down every barrier to love. This is the historical era of kingship. So far, nobody could complete this foundation. But now, the kingship of love will stand forever and multiply. How wonderful that is!

All the indemnity of history is now solved. The remaining problem's are man and woman unity and racial unity. But I have pioneered the solution. Every kind of love, every kind of person, wants to connect to me, because I am the cosmic center. We have reached that point. Now the children must understand that their relationship with their parents is more important than with their spouse or child. Otherwise you cannot connect to the original center point of love. Have you accomplished that kind of connection with True Parents? Once we do that, all problems will disappear. The resolution to the conflict between the free world and the communist is imminent. Now, those two worlds are confronting huge racial problems. So far they have completely ignored my advice, and even tried to chase me out from America. They will now say, "We need Rev. Moon here in America." Now, resurrection will occur in a direct way, instead of the 15 degree angle that it had to pursue in the past. It is like noontime, rather than sunrise. There is no shadow: heaven and earth are completely one. Now we are following the vertical track.

I just explained the historical, dispensational, and indemnity conclusions. And we have addressed the human problems of love, life and lineage. We have also been talking about the first, second, and third Adams. Those were all periods of kingship. True kingship includes not just the heavenly world, but also our physical world.

So today in the world there are three types of people living: 1) couples who got married without Father's approval; 2) unmarried people who have had a physical relationship; and 3) Christians who have preserved their purity in the expectation of meeting the bride and groom. Virgins belong to the third category. Those in the third category will be able to connect to God first. The others who fell are still in the water, barely maintaining their spiritual life.

How do we liberate all these people is now my question. A cosmic messiah must appear to save these people. He must bring them up to the position where they didn't fall, by forgiving them and bringing them up to the first position. I have made a condition so that these people can resurrect to that position. The condition is that you bring your parents and brothers and sisters, as a tribal messiah, out of fallen Adam's position. Parentship! This is tribal messiahship! You are in the parents' position. Parentship means that, centering on purity, you connect people to the center true love parents. Father has forgiven us and brought us up to the parents' position. Likewise, all of your families will be connected to the cosmic messiah; then instantly these three generations will have been liberated--family messiahship, tribal messiahship, and national messiahship. The tribal messiah's purpose is to lift up the original Adam's parentship and connect the tribal messiahship to it. That is all. Satan cannot infiltrate that new world.

Centering on you, the tribal messiah, your parents and your nation must be connected to the cosmic messiah. God will occupy everything. That is from now on the providential viewpoint. This is the providential age of love. Do you understand? That is the conclusion. This is a situation for celebration. True Parents have crossed the love persecution. But I am able to forget everything with love. I am saving the generation that persecuted me, and their children. Now you clearly understand God's past and present providence. The salvation providence is past. By working in our tribal messiahship areas we will welcome the fulfillment of all cosmic, historical, and human purposes.

Father has been so seriously awaiting this time. Now you know that the Divine Principle can answer all questions. This is the first time we accomplished complete salvation. Are you following absolutely or mediocrity? Do you want to go the same way as God and True Parents, no matter how difficult? Unite with me and let's march on that way! If you will do it, stand and raise both hands. Let us all have three cheers of mansei welcoming the Love Dispensation Era!! Mansei, Mansei, Mansei!

Father's Words

World Conference (2/25/80)

What is repentance? The best way to repent is to be scolded by Father. I give you a hard time, and tears trickle from your eyes; you want to cry out in prayer, asking God to forgive you. Isn't that the best? I am sorry I have to speak to you like this, but the historical reality must be exposed. What a blessing it is that your shortcomings, your misbehavior, and your irresponsibilities are all forgiven.

What have you been doing? Have you been doing exactly the same as me? Have you been kicked and persecuted by people? Have you been so hardened in the work of servanthood? Have you been serving people?

Look back at your own life and accomplishments. What do you think of your own past? Those of you who have been hungry know that all the members of your church are hungry. When there is no place to lie down and sleep and everybody is suffering, you may still want to be in a big room and lie down comfortably. If at that moment you don't care about the rest of the members, woe to you, you hypocrite.

If you committed such a crime, then you need to repent. Go ahead and repent from the bottom of your heart. If you don't, you cannot receive the inheritance from the Messiah. You cannot inherit the Kingdom of God from the True Parents. That kind of noble tradition of sacrifice is beautiful. In following such a tradition, we can swallow the satanic world.

True Parents and I (6/15/86)

Most of you have been a part of the life of the Unification Church for many years, and most of you have received the Blessing. But you have been living according to something less than the real Unification Church direction. There is far more distance to be covered. We have to be shedding tears -- kneeling on the floor and repenting. Repentance must be the first thing on our agenda.

The Future of the Religious Person (9/1/86)

Nobody really understands God's will. But the American people must return to God. It is like Jesus' time, when John the Baptist stood out in the desert and shouted, "Repent, and return to God!" Otherwise America has no hope. Someone is standing out in the wilderness now, just as in the time of the Israelites, proclaiming loudly, "Repent!" That person is Rev. Moon. I am telling you Moonies first of all, "Repent!" You have to repent!

Learning Tradition -- Europeans in America (6/13/83)

Please realize we must always keep repenting and trying to understand our errors. This is our way of removing ourselves from the midway position, and this is our way of survival.

We must show the existence of God and the spirit world to all people, down to the last man, before they can be converted. It is not enough merely to understand. What you are trying to explain to your members, you must show to them.

The directions Father gives to the Japanese leaders are so high that the Japanese have never heard the like of them before. But Japanese members, even if they think the directions are difficult, always try to repent. And they complain, but not to God. They complain to themselves that they have so little ability and goodness.

They search themselves to discover why they are not so Abel. They torment themselves and try to repent for their fallen condition. They pray sincerely to God, "I am so weak, and I should do so much more, so please, God, help me." They do that before they go into action. This is not a concept but is a practical technique that works.

In spite of having worked so hard and prayed so much, and in spite of knowing that God must accomplish everything through you, you may have wondered why nothing happens in your church. You may have wondered, "Why didn't God help me? Why didn't spirit world help me?' Now you know the secret.

True Parents and Ourselves (5/7/72)

In order to subjugate Satan, you cannot be forgiven by just asking, "Heavenly Father, please forgive me." You have to shed tears in order to return to God. You have to feel the pain of your face swollen from crying. You have to shed tears in repentance for your sins. That is very important for each one of you. We have to go this way not just for the sake of ourselves but for the sake of our country and for the sake of the world.

You have committed your sins in the past and the present and you might weep because of that, but you haven't felt repentance deeply enough. After repentance you should cry tears of deepest gratitude because you are going back to God to be restored. Without such tears, you cannot enter the Kingdom of God.

Myself (1/13/80)

Repent and then forget about the past. Don't let it drag you down, but pray to heaven to help you do away with it. Then look for the difficult thing and tackle it. That will be your best and fastest training.

Let Us Know Ourselves (9/30/79)

There is always room for mercy in a righteous legal system, but in order to be entitled to receive it, a person must show his sincere repentance. Repentance is the key word. This is why Jesus' pronouncement was, "'Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand." What should we repent for? Very simply, we must repent for all those actions which violated the rule that says we should live in sacrifice and service for others. This was Jesus' first teaching.

The essence of Christianity is to seek repentance for the sin of greediness and selfishness. Sin can be defined as violation of the universal law of service to others. Stealing a dress from even a big department store chain is wrong. That dress has value which comes from the person who prepared it. If it is stolen, its public value is nullified by the thief. That is the sin. Another person might realize that he tells lies all the time, but his conscience doesn't hurt him. The motivation for lying always involves hiding something to take advantage of others; otherwise, there would be no reason to lie.

Leaders Conference (6/6/86)

I am desperate to the utmost degree. I have been waiting for you to spur yourselves onward. Have you changed? No! So, are you going to just wipe your hands and give up? We have to climb all the way up, because we have already come this far. How little you know about me! So many complaints, so much ungodly criticism!

If you fail this time, your generation will be put in the category of 'failed mission.'

Fortunately, time remains. First, we must repent. This alone can bring us hope. We must develop absolute conviction. We can make a last- minute commitment now. We are the front-line soldiers indemnifying the failure of those who did not accept Father in 1945. We, 40 years later, are giving America a second chance.

You should just go and bear the cross willingly and eagerly. You should not say or even think, "Please let this cup pass from me." Just bear the cross with no questions asked.

Excerpts from Rev. Chung Hwan Kwak's guidance to missionaries in 1980

The Meaning of Love

There is no question that all of us would desire to receive Heavenly Father's original ideal love if we could. However, because we are fallen men, God cannot give us His original, direct love. He can only look upon us and bestow merciful, pitying love, because we continue to possess original sin and we are far below the basic point where He can reach us directly. When an individual cries out to God and asks for His love, is it pitying or original love which the person seeks? Our purest, our deepest desire is to receive original love, yet actually when we cry out in this way, we are hoping to receive any kind of love. Pitying love is not at all "ideal" love. Even when we receive His merciful love, we grow in our desire to finally receive His original love.

If you make some mistake, you need to repent. Through repentance, you can be connected to God through the pitying love He bestows. However, even though you may receive pitying love, as I mentioned before, your main goal is to somehow receive God's original love. It is a desire which we should never give up striving to fulfill.

The element which man needs to live his life of faith is gratitude. If you could feel gratitude well up from your heart and then express it to your God, you would never try to escape the way of restoration. When you don't have a thankful mind, you will not be able to overcome your difficult circumstances. If you go through a similar test again and again but always want to escape, then you really should look into yourself and discover your immediate need of repentance.

Midway Position

Generally, a member faces any given intense or difficult conditions once. Heavenly Father gives a person the chance to overcome and go beyond these difficulties, which the person does by setting up indemnity conditions. A person should only need to try once to overcome a certain stumbling block in his faith. Yet, if we find ourselves in the same situation again and again, we must understand why and deeply repent that we were not able to overcome things the first time around. When certain difficulties block our way, we need indemnity conditions to overcome them. Of course it is easier to center on ourselves, feeling self-pity, or we can just bury our heads in the sand to escape facing such tumultuous circumstances. But if we try to escape and are successful, God will have to give us the same test yet another time. However, think of the amount of God's time we waste when He must do this.

The principle which Christianity espouses is that people should repent of all their sins through the Messiah in order that he can offer them to God. Many of our members don't understand this principle. Some make mistakes which they keep to themselves. They not only form a covering over themselves, but they even put a lock on it. It is only they who know the combination to unlock it. However, when they never make effort to unlock it, they will never be able to solve anything. And they may try to do it only by themselves with their own limited power. If you think about your own sin or mistakes, it is easy to explain away the situation within the confines of your own mind. It is easy to find excuses to appease yourself. However, if you do this you will never solve your situation. When you yourself make many excuses and rationalize away your mistakes, nothing is overcome. If anyone could actually overcome their deep-seated problems or sins by themselves, there would be no need for the Messiah. However, it is imperative that we reach the Messiah, because through him we are able to receive God's light and love.

Even though we may internally try or even make excuses, as long as we continue to keep the mistake within ourselves, we will continue to remain distant from Heavenly Father. However, if you can find your internal Abel figure and report everything, then your problem or mistake can be overcome.

Please don't keep your heavy burdens to yourself. Examine yourself to find what kind of curtains you are using and how many shadows accompany you day after day. If you continue to hide your own dirty nature, it will be more and more difficult for you to pry yourself away from Satan's grasp later on.

Changing Direction

Some people repent for not doing more, for not being pure enough, for not sharing our True Parents' path more than they do. Not just one time, but every day. Do you repent for these things? Do you even think about them?

To lay conditions of indemnity, we must first change direction. We must repent. Repentance is a religious word. It is such an important condition for all mankind. Through a mistake or sin, we feel internally heavy and in darkness. Once we change our direction, we come down. The ' amazing thing is that after a mistake, our spirit continues to come down. Therefore, we so often make small mistakes. Small mistakes themselves make the motivation for big mistakes. Then our spirit continues to come down, and we absolutely need repentance.

Many members misunderstand the effect of repentance. Generally, after repentance, we feel we come back to the original position, but actually the effect of repentance is that it only succeeds in changing direction spiritually. After you change your direction, you need to practice true love conditions to reach the original position.

The best thing is not to make a mistake, but we are not perfect; sometimes we make mistakes and sometimes something goes wrong. Then as soon after we make the mistake as possible, we need to repent. In many cases, because we delay repenting, we make many mistakes.

The meaning of repentance in the Unification Church is different from what it means in most other churches, where repentance usually connects directly to your own personal sin or mistake. But in the Unification Church, members study about God's heart and the early church history. When we really understand God's suffering heart, then we can naturally repent about these historical mistakes. True Parents many times mention about, God's heart to Noah's family, God's heart to Abraham's family, and so on. Father understood God's heart, and the history of His suffering. As an historical representative, he repented for all of mankind and all of history.

Offering

Each one of us needs heavenly wisdom to solve the problem of our own burden. To be able to live a lifestyle in which we can confess and report things to a central figure can only bring us great fortune.

We feel True Parents' guidance and love for each of us as their children. When you connect with your Abel figure and cultivate a deeper and deeper relationship with him, you will come even closer to the True Parents. Your reports to your Abel figure can reach the True Parents and can reach the forgiving heart of God. 

The Age of Heavenly Parentism

Rev. Sun Myung Moon
September 10, 1989

My topic this morning is "Chun bo Juestay" or "The Age of Heavenly Parentism". I am creating a new terminology--"Heavenly Parentism." The satanic world has been talking about democracy and communism, which is not heavenly terminology. Those two viewpoints are just stepping stones to reach the ultimate destination. Heavenly history has not started yet. In God's view, history starts from True Parentism, then later moves to the children or "Peopleism", not the other way around.

Most people don't understand God's viewpoint of "Parentism"--history beginning from True Parents. Particularly the democratic American culture and her people must understand that God's culture is centered not on the people nor the individual, but on the parents. Freedom must be centered on God and the heavenly parents. God is the root which widens to the Parents. From the parents' trunk come many horizontal branches, which are the children. Democracy is "childrenism". But the reality of the original world is centered on God and the original parents who unite, creating children. If you do not know this point clearly, you may make a mistake in the future.

Materialism sees reality as originating in the external, material world. From the time of the Fall, the world has been divided into two sides, culminating in the Free World and Communism. In the restoration course, the one purpose is to recreate true brotherhood. Why did mankind have to take this course of conflict throughout history? Because they didn't have True Parents. History is simple. Restoration has occurred through religious wars, with the purpose being to restore the elder brother's birthright. The firstborn son belonged to Satan's side, while the second son was on God's side. Before the fall, the elder son and second son were both God's sons. That was the original point. During the Fall, man united with Satan creating two blood lineages. The problem religious history has faced is how to separate and distance mankind from Satan's blood lineage and establish a stable, pure blood lineage for God. No one understood how to do that. Only God, Satan and True Parents knew this point. What is the Unification Church? The Unification Church is the beginning point of centering on God and True Parents. Then what is the purpose of the Unification Church? To create a new standard on the earth, to control Satan's world and to make a foundation for Parentship and Godship.

The Age of Godism and Parentism has started on the earth. You can see the democratic and communistic worlds diminishing and perishing. Who can solve their dilemma? They need to be together in one embrace for the democratic world has no system and the communist world is only a material world. Therefore there is no hope of brotherhood and neither one could ever control the world or the cosmos. Only by centering on God and True Parents can brotherhood begin. From there a true family is created, then the tribe, nation, world and cosmos. This is the true multiplication and expansion of humankind. You have to know this point clearly.

Democracy cannot control the world, especially since the United States leads the Free World. Who can trust America today? People throughout the world are scornful toward the U.S. for it has become morally sick. Inside the United States there is the rotten scent of death worse than Sodom and Gomorrah or the Roman Empire. This is the golden age of satanic civilization; an age where naked men and women approach each other anywhere, having all kinds of perverted sex. The present situation is even worse than fallen Adam and Eve. At least Adam and Eve felt shame, hiding themselves with leaves. However, today's America doesn't even feel shame which means it is beyond the realization of sin. Since the ability to feel shame is lost, the peril of America is at hand. If Heavenly Father chased Adam and Eve out of the garden even though they felt shame for what they had done, what would God do to America that feels no shame even in the sight of God? He would do far more than just kicking them out of Eden; He would want America to completely decline. In other words, America will perish and that time is at the door.

But God wants to cleanse America of its corruptness and moral decadence. That is the reason why God sent Reverend Moon to America. But the American people rebelled against Father and persecuted him. This country has done nothing it can show the world with pride. Even though the United States may have a lot of power, no one else in the world can respect them. So Father launched a crusade through The Washington Times and The World and I to cleanse the moral climate of America. Now The Washington Times uses every headline to attack America's immorality.

On August 20th of this year, the celebration of my Danbury victory, I declared the "Love Providential Age." This is the age of the restoration of the true children. "True children" means the restoration of Cain and Abel, especially Cain, the eldest son position. Unless Cain and Abel are restored, especially the eldest son, there is no foundation for the emergence of the true mother.

Historically, Eve gave birth to two children with the eldest son belonging to the satanic realm and the second son belonging to the heavenly realm. Human history started within one mother's womb, with one side as satanic history and the other as God's history. These histories have to be restored and united.

In the ideal world, Adam and Eve came from God. They were to unite and as parents create children who were with God. Their children could be divided into elder son and second son. The eldest son was to be the master of the house, automatically united with the parents and the second son was united with his older brother. When you put the parents on the heavenly realm, their children belong to the earthly realm. Therefore, for them, without children there is no earth. By the same token, without Parents, there can be no heaven. For children, the existence of parents is absolute.

However, democratic America today has lost its parents which means only brothers and horizontal things can exist. Therefore, there is always a struggle, with one brother trying to eliminate or prevail over the other. Only in such a way can they receive the inheritance. So heart can never be first, but always the material, honor, or power of man--all earthly things--will come first. They fight until one gains the victory. Essentially, they are just buying, selling, bribing or giving in order to win their position.

History should have started from the individual who would have then been surrounded by his family, clan, tribe, nation, world and cosmos. That is the direct line from which history should have originated. The center of this history was to have been Adam and Eve who represented not only themselves, but their family, clan, tribe, nation and world. Adam and Eve were to have ultimately been the center of the world. This was the first Adam's mission. Adam centering on God, feeling true love, would have created this kind of world and inherited God's spirit.

But Adam didn't inherit God's personal dignity and love. Why? Because Adam fell and lost God and His love. Instead of an ideal world, Satan's worst love controlled human kind through the satanic blood lineage. So no matter how famous or well-intentioned people were throughout history, they were fallen people connected to the satanic blood lineage. This problem made the restoration course difficult for God. Otherwise, why couldn't the absolute power of God control this world? God had to remove Satan's blood lineage and from that point He could control the foundation of the world. The original ideal world didn't have a stained, satanic blood lineage. So when this blood lineage is cleaned up, God will control the world foundation. This is the viewpoint of the Principle of Creation.

For this reason the Messiah is necessary to cut off mankind's illicit relationship with Satan and bring them back to God. Who is the Messiah? The messiah, centering on God and True Love, comes as the parent and father of mankind. The messiah's purpose is to judge Satan and exterminate his power. Furthermore, the worst satanic love must be cleansed. After that, the brother relationship can turn to the parent-child relationship.

In summation, what are the three missions of the Messiah? First, to liquidate Satan; second, to restore True Love; third, to create true brotherhood by centering on the parent-child relationship. Only by doing so, can true brothers emerge. These are the reasons for the Messiah to come as the parent and father of mankind. This is the only way that Satan's sovereignty, which had extended over the whole cosmos, can be controlled.

Do you have God's blood lineage? Blood lineage includes life and love. Everyone should have been born into God's true love and blood lineage. You must always know the cosmic perspective. No matter how victorious people have lived their lives throughout history, no one taught them how to ultimately understand everything.

From the time I first stepped on this earth, I never belonged to Satan. I absolutely didn't belong to Satan. Are you in that kind of situation? No! So you absolutely need the Messiah. All of humanity needs the messiahship of True Parents! Humanity lost their parents and didn't know where to find them. God wants to show them where they lost their parents in history. He promised mankind that He would send the Messiah, educating man through the religious world.

In the Bible, wild olive trees have to become true olive trees. The messiah has to cut down the wild olive trees that are lop-sided. Only when the "eye" branch from the true olive tree is grafted onto the wild olive tree can true fruit be produced and harvested. This means that every fallen concept must be cut away or cleaned up. Humanity today when researching the roots of society, cannot find the point of our original beginning because the hints for finding out have been lost. This is a serious age. I am talking about this for the sake of example. No, this is reality. You have to make your foundation strong following (the messiah's) way. God does not permit a selfish person to remain with the messiah. You must forcefully follow the messiah, offering your youth in service to God's great cause.

Satan enters your blood in this flesh body; Satan's nature lies in your flesh body. How can you defeat him, cut down his wild olive tree? This is the course of religious purpose. If you can defeat Satan in this way, you can control everything of Satan's. For that reason, religion is the battle against oneself. Religion is not a battle against the world. Liberation theology, which is expounded around the world today, says, "We come to save the society by changing the social system." They are socialistically oriented. That's not a true religion; a true religion is to battle against oneself.

The first time Satan was loved, he invaded the blood lineage. If man decides, "I clean up, I am the victim. The problem is I haven't been helping God. I have been repeating the same mistake while under Satan's control. I am a victim." This is the personal formula or purpose for everyone. You have to separate from Satan's foundation. Even Jesus did a 40 day fast. Afterwards, God allowed Satan to visit Jesus and test him: "You have flesh ambition inside yourself." Immediately, Satan tried to connect to that: "You are my anchor under the sky. You cannot save mankind."

How can flesh and blood stimulate power? Is your love centered in God or Satan? When you like being kissed, does that kiss open God's love foundation or Satan's foundation? Are you closer to God or to Satan? When I kick you hard, you ask, "What are you doing to me?" You immediately rebel against it. Satan is always kicking you day and night but you give him no resistance. When I kick you, I am trying to kick Satan out of you. That's the purpose.

When you rebel against me, you put yourself in a position to be abandoned by God. If that happens, you will be finished. But God always forgives you, giving you one more chance. You have no idea of the cruel treatment I have received. When half the United States persecuted me, I was always patient and never angry. Because I came to save America, I cannot show my emotion to this country until I have fulfilled this mission. I always felt that America was not my enemy. Regardless of how they treat me, I will always be a teacher and prophet to the political and religious people and to Americans as a whole. America knows that it is indebted to me.

I know the American people well and when they hear this kind of statement, they don't like it and might even be angry. I may not be making the American people happy, but America today is a cancerous country and that cancer has to be eliminated. The problem is made more difficult because America doesn't know that it has cancer.

In 1976, during the Washington Monument Rally, I declared that America was on fire and needed a firefighter. Now America is sick and needs a physician. Rev. Moon has come as the firefighter and the physician. I told the American people to leave it to me and I would teach their children. American were completely flabbergasted. They laughed at the statement and scornfully treated me. They determined to get rid of me and finally sent me to Danbury jail. But if I didn't exist on this earth, who could save the United States?

As soon as my name is resurrected, then America will be saved. So the resurrection of my name is the yardstick for the salvation of America. How can I say these things? America is dying. Democracy is not saving this country. That is apparent. Therefore, as an alternative, I must declare "God and True Parentism". God's parentism is the new concept which can save America. Rev. Moon has brought that prescription and is applying it for this country's salvation.

On August 31st and September 1st, 1989, I was in Alaska. These two days are most historical days. I would like to explain what I did and why I went to Alaska to do it. When you hear the word "Alaska" what comes to your mind? Grizzly bears, deer, snow, mountains, fish! Those of you who like the smell of fish raise your hands. American people don't like the fish smell, I know that. Tell me the truth. Americans hate to go where the smell of fish is strong. What if you had to cut the belly of the fish and gut it out? How many would like to go to Alaska to do that kind of job?

I knew that American women would never like to do that, so I asked Japanese women members, blessed to American brothers, to come to Alaska. Some of them are highly educated sisters. Since they are wives of Americans, they could represent the American people as an offering. Alaska is in a most strategic position and unless you defend it, you will be very vulnerable to Soviet attack. If Alaska still belonged to Russia today, America would be helpless to defend itself. Who made Russia sell Alaska to America before communism appeared? God did! In the same way, America is abandoning Alaska bit by bit and selling it to me. I'm not buying Alaska by paying millions of dollars to the United States Government, but by loving Alaska's nature, ocean and mountains with true love. I go to the ocean for fishing and to the mountains for hunting and loving nature. By doing so, Alaska becomes my domain.

There are lots of fish in Alaska which the American people have virtually abandoned. So I have always thought, "The Alaskan fish belong to me; I'm going to catch them and feed the world." That is my vision and my ambition. All this time, I have been building boats to send to Alaska for catching fish. I have caught most kinds of fish except one: the king salmon. "Salmon" means salvation fish; salmon has that kind of contents "salvation Moonie fish". Why? It is the true love fish.

Did you know that this salmon, only six months after they hatch, swim to the ocean to begin a 6000 mile journey. Salmon are truly a mysterious fish. They return to their native spawning grounds after 4 years. Can you believe how much smarter than humanity is the salmon? They first start out from their original hometown to go around the whole world making an historical foundation. Upon returning home, they swim upstream to spawn many offspring and in dying, they give the flesh of their bodies to their children as food to sustain their offspring who begin their own journey. How wonderfully the salmon procreate! It is almost a religious life cycle. That's why I call them "Salvation Moonie Fish".

Salmon are truly mysterious, sacrificial fish. They live for the sake of their children. If the salmon are living in such a way, then what about their owner? What should the parents of the salmon do? Who shall be deserving to be the owner of the salmon, such a sacrificial, Godly fish?

America is not a pure, homogeneous race of people. Americans come in a rainbow of colors: black, white, yellow--all kinds of mixed blood. America has been a melting pot for races, but Father's age has come. The Unification Church has made more intentional integration. This has happened according to the dispensational purpose. The international blessings were not by chance. I have been doing this for the sacred purpose of creating an ideal world.

I admire and respect the salmon's way of life because it so closely resembles the Moonies' way of life. Those who share an international blessing should be living a salmon-like ways of life for the sake of future generations. You should give your everything for posterity. For the sake of the children, you may even die. This is the lesson we have to learn from the salmon and why I think the salmon is the "salvation Moonie fish".

Rev. Moon is the center of the unification world, like a king, and is always looking forward to fellowship with the "King Salmon". I was fishing for king salmon in Alaska. It is the most incredible excitement, even the sound of the wire as you throw out the fishing line with the bait. Tuna fishing doesn't begin to compare with salmon fishing; salmon fishing is far more courageous, exciting, enthusiastic, and breathtaking.

The Japanese women members blessed with American brothers have been working tirelessly in Alaska for 8 years! They have gutted all the salmon while inhaling the smell of fish every day. When I went to Alaska this time, I worked harder than they did so they could be comforted. I want to show the members that "Not only you, but I am working harder than you and love the fish more than you. You touch the fish every day to cut the fish's belly. After I catch the fish, I embrace it and dance with it. I enjoy that kind of love for the fish, more than you. You have to follow me for you are inheriting my fish. I have made that foundation, hoping that your will automatically follow this tradition. You have great power to be masters, leaders and owners of this great fish. The highest level of ownership is parentship: I belong to your children. Monsei!" Making that kind of foundation to be inherited is not easy. But if I hadn't made that foundation, I couldn't scold or eat. In Alaska, there is still daylight at midnight, I love that. I was there 10 times a year and every time I would go out to the ocean for fishing in the early morning and come back past midnight. Some who worked there wondered: "Why is it when Father visits here, he is in such a hurry to go to the ocean? Father loves the sea and fishing more than me." From now on, you must follow my tradition of restoration: more hard work on the ship, cutting the fish and so forth. To make that kind of foundation, you must give everything.

On August 31st, Father caught a king salmon. To comfort the hard working members, I gave them a gigantic banquet inviting all the Unification Church members. At this banquet, I declared the Ceremony of "Piljan". This is an historical declaration in Kodiak, Alaska.

This particular age of providential restoration is the restoration of the brotherhood realm, to restore the eldest son to his rightful position with his birthright. Throughout fallen history, the elder son and the second son had reversed birthrights. Through the restoration of brotherhood, the elder son has come into the original elder son's position to inherit God's kingdom and blessing.

God, Adam and Eve, together with the three archangels are the basic units God created in a heavenly relationship on the very first day. Because of the Fall, this particular pattern has been converted to Satan holding God's position with Adam and Eve in servitude to Satan. In accordance with God's providential will, this cannot remain in such a manner. In the providential course, this situation has to be restored by going through certain cross lines.

(Father draws on the blackboard) From here to this far is a new beginning or new era through which the restoration of God, Adam and Eve would start a new history from this point. Above this point is something that God doesn't want to remember so it has to be wiped out. This particular point is the origin of human history. If there had been no Fall, the most natural history would have progressed from this point to the individual level, family level, tribal level, national level and finally the worldwide level. That would have been the original pattern.

But the Fall of Man reversed the pattern of history with the beginning of fallen history. To change this, the "crossover" must occur at the national level because history has always centered on one nation. In God's providential will, the nation is truly the focal building block. For that reason, the nation is the unit where the new history will begin. After WWII, the victorious United States gave the defeated nations independence, aid and prosperity. On the national level, the era of brotherhood has come and so for that reason the United States has to give brotherhood to the nations of the world, instead of making them servants.

In the course of human history, there is one grand opportunity give to the world by God to establish a Christian world in God's second son position, to restore the elder son's nation position, and unite the entire world. That one time possibility happened right after WWII. On that particular crossing juncture, represented by this line, the United States is represented by the right side with the left side being the communist world. The satanic world and the God-centered world, primarily the Christian world, come together at the crossing juncture, uniting into a new history. Therefore, after WWII, a new order on the national level could have been established. A new nation would have been born: one nation, representing the Adam nation, another representing the Eve nation, another representing the Cain nation, and finally another representing the Abel nation. Together, they would have formed a family system.

So the period following WWII, was crucial providentially. At the time of the Fall, Adam and Eve consummated and had two sons Cain and Abel. Therefore, in the Last Days, this pattern has to be reversed and restored to its original state. So the post war period can be likened to a harvest time. At that time, the lineup was Great Britain, France and the United States. Great Britain is an island country; "island" means always seeking the mainland, just as a woman always seeking after her husband. Thus an island represents a woman's standpoint. Great Britain gave birth to the new nation of the United States, which places Great Britain in the mother's position to her son, the United States. The United States cannot abandon Great Britain, they must maintain a close relationship. Why? Because of the mother-son relationship.

However, in the battle over the Falkland Islands that occurred between Great Britain and Argentina, the United States unconditionally sided with Great Britain. I have been adamant in criticizing the United States for her position at that time. Great Britain had failed in this situation, so the son nation must not follow that route.

France, after WWII, was in the elder son position. In a way the United States was in the second son position, with France, in the elder son position. When it is restored, the second son is in the elder son's position, which would mean France would be in the position to follow the United States.

The satanic lineup was directly parallel: Japan is in the mother nation position, Germany in the second son's position, and Italy in the elder son's position. Japan, the mother nation on the satanic side, is a great imitator, learning and absorbing everything from other cultures. God knew the day would come when the providential will eventually moved toward Asia. Someone had to be ready in Asia to receive that age. That nation is Japan. Even though Japan was in a satanic realm, God was preparing that nation as an Asian power. Similarly, God prepared one peninsula nation, the Republic of Korea.

History started out on the European continent to create a continental culture. Then there was a move to the Italian peninsula, the Roman Empire and the Vatican were located there. From there it moved to Great Britain which is an island nation. In order to restore that pattern, the island nation was represented by Japan, the peninsula nation was represented by Korea and the continent was represented by Asia.

Inheriting everything that was occurring culturally in the Western world, Asia is taking over. originally the Christian culture was supposed to be prospering on the Asian continent. Jesus Christ came to Asia Minor and began a movement that was originally supposed to move westward to the Asia continent instead of westward toward Europe. The original direction was reversed because of the crucifixion. Instead of going eastward to Asia, the movement went to the west to get to Asia, ultimately making a complete circle of the world. This is the historical background.

For that reason, Great Britain, the United States and France must be looking to unite with the Adam nation. In the New Age, England was to be in the mother's position, the United States would be in the restored Abel position and France would be in the restored Cain position. In order for this restoration to occur on the national level, there had to be a new national level lineup. For this to happen, in a way, Father launched WWII, the greatest event in human history. In order to oppose this heavenly move, Satan's nations united: Japan, Germany and Italy. Japan, with its satanic imperialism, engulfed entire Asia including Indonesia. While Japan expanded her power to all of Asia, Hitler saw Great Britain and France as helpless and powerless. Hitler thought if he united with Japan, then they could conquer not only Europe, but Asia and the world. That was Hitler's ambition.

Satan knew that God's providence would be working in an extraordinary manner on the Korean peninsula, so he used the Japanese imperialism to occupy the Korean peninsula for 40 years, inflicting a period of suffering and indemnity before the actual restoration of that peninsula could occur.

God didn't let the three satanic nations conquer the world; they were defeated. The victorious Allied nations centering on Great Britain, United States and France were to fulfill their ultimate destiny by searching after the Adam nation of Korea. But the Allied nations failed to receive the messiah. For that reason, God used the defeated satanic nations to create a new lineup on the heavenly side. So Japan was adopted in the place of Great Britain because they are both island nations.

In other words, because of the Allied nations' failure in the dispensation, God restored Japan, Germany and Italy to God's side. If this new lineup had accepted Adam at this time, 40 years ago, communism would never have prospered because communism could never accept the coming of Adam.

The Korean peninsula can be likened to the Italian peninsula where Christendom was located with the Vatican at its center. By the same token, the Korean peninsula has been chosen as the New Age Vatican nation.

From history we see that the Roman Empire moved and conquered an entire continent. Now the Adam nation of Korea and the Eve nation of Japan are moving together toward the Asian continent. Mainland China represents the archangel country. These three combined into one can expand all over the world--no problem. If the western world had combined with that concept in mind, the Christian world would have resulted.

The original lineup for God's side for the sake of WWII was not fulfilled because of their rejection of Adam. The new lineup consisted of a new mother nation of Japan, new elder son nation of the United States and second son nation of Germany. Satan loved Japan and Germany because they were satanic nations. God picked them up to restore them. Satan hated the United States. So all these nations were enemies of each other. Who shall make this decision since God cannot do it? The Adam nation will be the decision maker.

The American people might say, "Why has the United States become only the archangel nation?" Actually, the United States should have been treated very harshly because the postwar failure was primarily the fault of the U.S. So the elder son position in the restoration of the Cain and Abel, the United States failed and actually destroyed the one opportunity that God had given to the world. So actually, the United States belonged to hell. But Father is the one who forgave America, instead of sending America to hell, I came to the United States and restored this nation, giving it a new position and a new heavenly pride. I came to guide the American people and give to direction to Christianity in the United States. By now, everyone has come to realize that without Reverend Moon there is no hope, no direction, no place to go.

Father has suffered a great deal at the hands of this nation. But Father has won the victory and now the clergy, politicians and professors of this nation are studying Father's ideology. They all know that only Rev. Moon's ideology can save this nation, and that Father is the hope of this nation!

All the major countries of the world--Great Britain, United States, France, Japan, Germany and Italy--took adversary positions to Rev. Moon who represents the Adam nation. None of these countries welcomed him. Because of their failures, communism became rampant everywhere. The era of communism divided all nations including Korea. Satan knows that ultimately Korea is the Adam nation and birthplace of the Father who will come to save all of humanity. So in order to finally resist that kind of occurrence, Satan divided the Korean peninsula into two parts, creating a false Adam nation with a satanic father in North Korea. Kim Il Sung was the satanic father in North Korea, with True Parents coming out of South Korea. The confrontation is continuing, they have not yet surrendered.

Father has been struggling alone for 40 years starting from nothing and building one block after another to create a new national level structure. Korea, Japan, United States and Germany, the four major providential nations, have successfully completed this new lineup for restoration. I have already said that the purpose of this dispensation was the restoration of brotherhood. But with consummation of brotherhood, we are going to a new realm of "True Parents". The "True Parents' Realm" is an elevated heavenly realm that is the direct dominion era.

Until right after WWII, Satan had been king. He had been the master and controller of the world. However, when the True Parents' realm is restored, the new order will create the new True Parents' kingship with the parents controlling the world. The destiny of the world is upon their shoulders. All of these historical consummations will occur on the Korean peninsula.

Father's ideology can be described in many ways: "Moonism", "Unificationism", "Godism" or "Headwing Ideology." Today, I have found a newer terminology: "True Parentism."

I am drawing a map of Korea. This is the 38th parallel that divides the country. Actually, the vertical line and horizontal line must cross at 90 degrees but that has not been done--which is the problem. This failure has created an east and west separation, as well as a north and south separation. There are great differences in cultural traditions between the East and West. Who can bring these different cultures together?

With the dawning of the Age of Asia and the Pacific era, America would become helpless because of this strong cultural gap. Many people might think that Japan might play a major role in the Pacific era for it is the richest nation. Even though they have lots of money, they cannot solve this situation.

The Korean peninsula, similar to the Vatican, is where the Asia era shall be governed. This is where the ideology of the New Age centering on Adam shall be born. Korea is the birthplace of the new unified culture. Japan, chosen by God to be the Eve nation is fulfilling the mother's position of taking care of the family's finances and allowances. For that reason, Japan is taking all the wealth away from the world.

America was a rich nation, the richest nation. But it would get money and spend it all. Today, America is the most indebted nation. But the mother saves the money for the sake of the children. America doesn't have that concept for their next generation. Therefore, America represents the heavenly archangel who must bring all that earth, space and property back to the mother and father's home country. This is the heavenly archangel's mission. Why? The original archangel standpoint was lost to Satan. How can the archangel position be restored? By the American Christians in this country uniting with the mother and father countries. Only by America uniting and supporting Japan, Korea and Asia can it survive. That is a principled perspective. The cosmic current is flowing to Asia and its headquarters. Humanity numbers at 5 billion; 3.2 billion of these people live in Asia. How could God cast out Asia? Never. The Last Days mean preserving the terminal point of Asia to finally connect with every country in the Asian area including China and then the countries surrounding China. How can we digest Mainland China? If we don't have the foundation of Mainland China, then we won't be able to control the future world. American and Soviet ideologies are ready defeated. The only remaining one is Rev. Moon's! With America and Japan united with me, and the Soviet Union following closely behind, how can China resist?

An east and west division usually results from a cultural gap, while a north and south division occurs over a difference in wealth. Can the United States solve such conflicts? Can Gorbachev or the Japanese Prime Minister resolve these problems? No! Therefore, people have come to regard Rev. Moon as the only possible solution for harmony between the east and west, as well as the north and south.

The United States of America declared against Reverend Moon. The battle has been fought. The U.S. was defeated, I won! The most historical crusade occurred when I brought the Japanese, Koreans and Germans to the United States for the salvation of this nation. All of them had been enemy countries during WWII. Who united them into one? Reverend Moon. This is the reality, not theory or theology.

Look at the American situation. The American youth followed Rev. Moon, while their parents opposed him, throwing all the power of their sovereignty against him: "Don't follow Rev. Moon, my children, don't go!" No matter how seriously they tried to teach this point, their children continued to absolutely follow Rev. Moon. They used their power to make higher levels in this country angry. They tried greater and greater force, including kidnapping. Have you every before read in history of parents kidnapping their own children? No! Who did this? Satan's doing. Why do the parents hate Rev. Moon so much? Rev. Moon is doing good projects. The parents didn't research what their children were seeking; instead, they told their children, "Rev. Moon is the worst guy." How could they kidnap their own children? Who made that condition? The communist and Christian worlds. America, Germany and Japan did it. The year 1976 was the most fearful and incredible fighting time. Father made all the nations in the world come against me including the Adam's country and the undeveloped nations. Many religions were included in the opposition: Christianity, Buddhism and Confucianism. Every religion on the earth united against me.

But when I attacked, they all fell down completely. This is Rev. Moon's foundation. Who protected me? God! No matter how strongly they came against me, they could not move the horizontal standing position away from the vertical standing point. No matter what comes against me, I cannot bend from this vertical point.

At last, the American opposition fell down along with the other five major nations. All the religions fell down. During this time, I was always working to save America and saving the religious path. During the darkest time, I was making plans for the future. When everyone looks at the rising sun, the darkness disappears and they see everything clearly. World opposition caused a spiritual hell with darkness completely covering Rev. Moon's appearance. When that darkness disappeared, there was Rev. Moon standing alone and radiating a powerful shining light.

The reason is Rev. Moon's power is No. 1! The democratic world and the communist world have to follow it. Now they are fighting each other, so who is the best one to unite them? Do you know the communist hierarchical system is very simple: push one button and everything is finished. America complicates things with too many buttons. Private ownership makes America a very difficult place. You know this very well. How can we unite these two into one?

Who can solve the differences between the whites and blacks in this country? Reverend Moon. How can Western and Eastern people be united into one? Who can solve the problems of cultural and economical separations, uniting these different spheres into one? There are many famous people who have lived and died on this earth unable to do that.

The only one who was persecuted for trying to do this was Rev. Moon. Our present work is resolving the problem bases resulting from the existence of vast differences of culture and wealth in the world. The Unification Church is going forward.

You have to know this more clearly than I do. Why? I am almost 70 years old. For the entire 70 years of my life, God and I have been standing on the front line, pulling the Unification Church. Unification Church members must help as well to the point of influencing Father. This is the mission for your age and your time. You must know this is the point where you are standing. Is this clearly one in your mind and body? No! This is the problem. How can you cast away your past in just a few years? Many American people don't want such hard training. No matter how much you didn't want it, I realized that without such training you cannot reach Father's purpose which is the hope for the future world.

Who has the solution to Eastern and Western cultural differences? No one except Rev. Moon. Why? Rev. Moon can united them completely centering on true love. Eastern and western people marry together. Colored and non-colored people can mix together in marriage with no problem. Father can do that everywhere. Rev. Moon is an artist in such work with people. He can create a masterpiece.

When I went to Kodiak, Alaska, there were many colors of couples with many babies being born. I thought, "We have created a new breed. How will their world be as they grow up--dark or hopeful? You are the light in a hopeful world. The background behind you is not dark for God will protect you. He will make a bright shining light for your path. I know that you are the proof that my 70 years of work have become a reality. You are the fruit and victorious result." I was enjoying these thoughts in my mind. Who else could make this kind of phenomenon? This is our reality, not a phenomenon. In past history, phenomena have come and gone. But what I have created has broken all concepts and become the standard of future actions. This is the center of existence not just a hopeful thought. I am proud of the Unification Church's nest blessed generation.

A completely pearl white, western woman's bosom being taken into an absolutely black tiny hand while sucking his mother's milk. That is very beautiful! That combination of white and black is great. The world will say, "Making black and white couples opened the way; but using that kind of color combining, you can make a masterpiece of human life style."

We are creating the recipe to make ideal colors. It can be done not by separating colors into only white or only dark, but by mixing the colors. In artist language, this is called using a deeper background, this means the background appears to not exist. The artist cannot create a masterpiece without understanding how to use the shades of dark. The use of dark colors can change the picture, but using only dark colors is not good. Rather, you must mix all the colors to make the background. Using that idea, the vertical and horizontal concept appears and the past historical background disappears. Father wants to make that kind of masterpiece with humankind.

While visiting in America, I made oneness with everyone, western and eastern people, centering only on true love. What kind of true love? Centering on true love marriage system they became completely one. Now we no longer have divisive cultural backgrounds.

Until now, Satan has been proudly standing on his foundation of power derived from the suffering of all righteous people who, wanting to return to God, were defeated. They didn't know this way. I am well aware of the historical way Satan created. I didn't follow it. I was protecting this position of righteousness.

From this center position, I stirred up the whole world. Rev. Moon was one man standing against an atmosphere of oppression. Strong societies of mankind from all over the world came against me. I didn't have a government, military power, or money. But I knew God and God's love center well. After I had stirred up the world, I knew I could help God use the second generation. The first generation Americans lost their chance. This is similar to the first generation of Israelites forced to wander in the wilderness and becoming eagles' prey. But I wanted to save the second generation--this was my mission.

The second generation hadn't heard the bad rumors about Rev. Moon, so they belonged to me. I knew they would be the generation of couples blessed by me to unite into one world. Seeing this future, I was steadfast and stirred up this world, to make a victorious foundation by fighting all of Satan's power. You must never forget how I gained this position. After God, I was named the victor. Only one man in history has ever defeated all of Satan's world. Now I'm leading world humanity to unity.

Everything I had was poured into this country so that with love, we could restore the creation concepts where God, the first time He made the creation completely invested more than 120% of Himself. That is the beginning creation concept. Many Unification Church members have inherited this way of thinking, "Everywhere I must invest myself more than 100%. Forsaking the past, I can find my true love partnership." That is creation's main purpose.

Everyone who has come against me, even Satan, cannot deny that Rev. Moon has made that kind of foundation a reality on the earth. Of course God is enjoying my victory and He is raising His hand, "My son! Monsei forever! Victor with me. Welcome to My place of Heart. Come!" Someday you will know how Satan's world persecuted me in a variety and quantity of actions that had cause you to fail. Stepping on you, he became the victor. How miserable is that situation? I know how hard a path it is to take. If you had passed by at that time, I had prepared everything a hundred times or more for you. Father was taking hope that day. Now while in a hurry to eliminate Satan's resting place, you have no excuse. You cannot say to me, "Father, why didn't you teach this to me clearly?" You know that I have taught you these contents at the most expensive, valuable price including my own thoughts and concepts. After understanding that, you must take this direction.

Now wherever Rev. Moon goes, there will be no opposition because he has brought unity between East and West, North and South on the individual level, family, tribe, nation, world and cosmic levels. This is why Father can install the tribal messiahship though you. At the time of Jesus, even though he came as the messiah, he was whipped from day one to the end. There was opposition and crucifixion, just the opposite of what should have been. Father received similar persecution. From this day on, Father is installing himself as the victor. We can go forward without any opposition because the world is looking for hope which cannot be found anywhere except with Rev. Moon!

The environment of the world is quickly changing. Professors and academicians who gather together see the true value system installed by Rev. Moon as the only hope of the academic world. Generally, professors are stubborn people who never listen to anyone; but they become little lambs in front of Rev. Moon. Also the American clergy who have so adamantly opposed Father in the past, are now asking, "Can I see Rev. Moon? May I have a special audience with Rev. Moon?" Furthermore, the wealthy people who just ignored Rev. Moon, now want to be in some joint venture with Rev. Moon. But Father won't see them, "I'm not enticed by your money. If you want to see me, you have to go through the workshops like any average Moonie!" In addition, high level people from Korea are coming to the United States for special seminars to study Divine Principle and Rev. Moon's work in America. They are competing with each other to qualify for the seminars in the United States and to see Rev. Moon's glorious victory.

Forty years ago, the failures of Christianity and the Korean government and leaders, brought the dispensational period of 40 years indemnity to Father. During that 40 year period, communism prospered because satanic power prospered. Now that Father has declared a victory, everything is crumbling down. Not just communism, but also the crime-ridden, morally corrupted United States is also collapsing. Where is the hope? Going to Rev. Moon.

Both the Soviet Union and the United States know that global war will not save the world, but they have been helpless to handle their kind of formidable power. The only way that the battle among brothers can be stopped is if they recognize True Parents and listen to their Father and Mother. That is the solution.

This is why I am speaking on "God and Parentism". We are moving from the restoration of the brothers' era to the Parents' Era, so the children must be united with their parents. From that unity, the solution for all the world problems will emerge.

From this point, we will move to the True Family. In the True Family realm, Satan cannot invade or accuse. We have been under the indirect dominion prior to this, but now we are moving into the direct dominion which is True Parentship dominion. This means that True Parents are responsible for world affairs, even those affairs of satanic people. Delegated by God's power, True Parents have the power to forgive, restore and save them. The people of the world have to be humble, repent and accept the Principle that True Parents are installing.

When all the brothers and sisters in the world brotherhood are forgiven, then their worldly parents will be forgiven by the True Parents. There are 3 layers of parents: Adam's time is one layer; Jesus' time is another; and True Parents in our time. Looking at our society, we have one layer of people who get married and form the family; another layer is made up of men and women who are in love, but could not consummate their love; the third layer consists of men and women who are pure and not yet married. The first layer represents Adam's family or Noah's family who are not quite yet in the bosom of God and failed to receive the final blessing. The second layer represents Jesus' time, who led a despairing and tragic life. The third layer of course represents True Parents' time.

The 36 Blessed Couples represent all three of these families or layers of humanity. When Father blessed the 36 Couples it was indicative of his intention to save all mankind. Father didn't want any segment of society left behind.

The Era of Parentism is also the era of forgiveness. In the past, in order to be truly qualified to receive the Blessing, you had to prepare for 7 years. Now, in the era of forgiveness, Father can give the blessing after only 40 days membership and study of the Divine Principle. If the men and women are totally united with True Parents and have preserved the purity of their blood lineage, they can become candidates for the blessing. This means that greater numbers of people can be blessed by True Parents.

With the advent of Parentism, the era of paying indemnity is ending on the horizontal level. Vertically, there is some indemnity still remaining. But for the Unification Church, the persecution era is over. We are now in a position to be welcomed, respected and responsible. Therefore, Father declared the tribal messiah era and sent us back to our own family to restore them. Years ago, we left our family and relatives to dedicate ourselves to the Unification Church mission. Now we have come full circle, returning to our family. That is the remainder of the mission.

The truth is like a dream or fantastic fantasy. Father conceived this dream and to make this dream a reality was far more difficult than the original creation. Repairing something is far more difficult than doing things right initially.

God has been working tirelessly for millions of years, yet was unable to create one Adam until now. That is really incredible! But one man, Father, has restored everything starting from Adam. After the Fall, the world of God was in chaos with no order. Father put order and a certain discipline into the world through the truth of the Divine Principle. He restored Adam and Eve, the Adam nation, Eve nation, Cain nation, Abel nation and the archangel nations. An entire world restored in just one life time by one man is just inconceivable. With the strength of the truth and by following Father, we have prevailed. Our ideology Father has defined as "True Parentship".

If we follow the God/True Parentism, the rest of the world will automatically come because there is no other way. There is no light to guide them through the surrounding darkness except the light in our direction.

Two kinds of Unification Church tribes will emerge: one is , "Father we are tired, no more, don't go any further, we are dying." The other group is, "Rev. Moon I live because of you. Please save me!" A million people will come crying that out. I am proud the sacrifice did not have to be too many people. The sacrifice was only a few and you must be proud that you are the selected few. Did you live with that dedicated feeling of being a sacrifice: "I've been chosen for this most honorable, sacred mission and I'm doing that"?

This is a very serious question. Originally, you did not take that kind of sacrificial position; Father fulfilled it representing you. He alone won the championship. The champion receives the value of the whole nation. You can then follow that champion absolutely. If you dedicate yourself to respectfully following him, as a result you will be trained to inherit the championship of the winner.

On August 31st, 1989 in Alaska I had a special ceremony called "Pal-chong-shi". The second ceremony was to declare God and Parentism. This is the restoration of true kingship. In the heavenly kingdom, no palace has been erected. There can be no palace in heaven until it happens on earth.

Adam and Eve were not only supposed to be the parents of mankind, but "kingship" was to be achieved by them. They were to rule the universe here on earth and then thereafter in Heaven. That was not done, so there was no palace in Heaven. God's palace on earth has to be restored.

God-Parentism is really another way of saying "forgiving all enemies". Under the parents, everyone is in the children's position. Children cannot be enemies to the parents. Then the only duty of the parents is to love the children. Therefore, with the advent of this new era, there are no enemies. True Parents have provided the living example of living without enemies and with hatred toward none. The declaration of no enemies includes Satan. We are in a position to love the archangel who brought the Fall to mankind.

Korea has become the most critical land mass on earth in the dispensational purpose. Besides the restoration of the Adam, Eve, Cain and Abel nations, there are three archangel nations. Looking at the map of Korea, we can see North Korea and South Korea. South Korea is the Adam nation while North Korea is the satanic Adam nation. Japan is the Eve nation. Korea must have all three archangel nations surrounding it: the United States, the Asian archangel nation of China, the communist archangel of the Soviet Union. Satan needs Korea because he is occupying North Korea. All the world's problems will be surrounding Korea. When Korea's problem is resolved then the world's problems will be resolved.

From the satanic point of view, the Adam nation is North Korea with the Adam position being held by Kim Il Sung; China was the satanic Eve nation and the Soviet Union was the satanic archangel nation. When Father brings China (I am referring to Mainland China united with Taiwan) to South Korea's side, then North Korea's satanic system will crumble. Satan is coming after China, because he is envious of China. The Soviet Union, who doesn't want to be outdone by China, will follow them to Adam. This is already happening.

Kim Il Sung represents false fatherhood; he is called "My father supreme prime minister Kim Il Sung" by the North Korean people. Nowadays, North Korea has declared home church. Of course, the satanic method is always by force or appealing to fear and so by fear they accomplish. But true Adam is accomplishing through true love, by loving in freedom.

Father feels that when Kim Il Sung's life is over, a turning point will come for all of Korea. That time is coming soon and when it does happen, God-Parentism will move on to restoration of true kingship. In 1948, independence came to Korea and soon after was separated into North and South. This period of separation has been for 40 years as of 1988 and with 4 years added to that, 1992 is a crucial dispensational year. Just wait and see what will happen in 1992, just 3 years from now.

What is "Pal Chong Shi"? Vertically speaking there are 8 phases of movement or dispensational steps. "Pal" means "eight". These steps start from the servant of servants era, servant era, adopted son era, true son era, mother's era, father's era and return to God. Vertically, the reverse order has to be restored. These periods are the periods of the indirect dominion of God. From there, we move up to the new era of the direct dominion of God. This is the vertical view of the History of Restoration.

Horizontally looking at history, we start from the individual, family, clan, tribe, nation, world, cosmos and return to God or God's Era. Again there are 8 periods.

"Chong" means "settlement" or firming the foundation. Therefore, "Pal Chong Shi" means that the vertical and horizontal eight steps have been settled, so "Pal Chong Shi" is the ceremony of the settlement of the 8 periods.

Today, Father has testified to the dispensational ceremonies conducted in the name of the victory our True Parents have won. But the parent-child relationship is a love relationship. A love relationship always engenders an inheritance. Therefore, you are in a position to inherit Father's victory as your own victory. This declaration of parentship and restoration of kingship is all yours by accepting Father as your father and communicating your relationship of love.

After this Pal Chong Shi Ceremony, we are going over the period of indemnity. Who paid the indemnity? Father! All the religious history has been a history of failure. All the national histories have been the history of the failure of national restoration. This final day, Father restored them all-religious and national histories. True Parentism has become a way of life--your daily way of life. The fallen realm will no longer be recognized. Now our one remaining job is to unite the world into one. When that is accomplished, we will move on to the restoration of true kingship.

When the kingship is restored, then the liberation of God becomes a reality. God is truly the king of all creation, the king of kings. True Parents are united with God, and exercise the authority given to them by the power of God. Those belonging to the citizenship of the unified Adam nation become the citizens of the kingdom of Heaven. The kingdom of Heaven means that there is a kingdom. The existence of a kingdom means there is a king. If there is a king, there is kingship which would mean the restoration of kingship.

Father chose Alaska as the place of this ceremony, because the members in Alaska have suffered the most. They obeyed Father, suffered and paid the most indemnity. Centering on them, Father held the Pak Chong Shi ceremony. From now, we are entering the God-Parentism era.

Parentism will be over by bringing kingship. When we talk about kingship there might be some opposition. However, the heavenly spiritual environment is already moving toward that direction. Father has always emphasized indemnity: any money we earned we had to pay indemnity and people who wanted to come to Father had to pay indemnity. Now all of this indemnity can be shortened and forgiven.

During the restoration of brotherhood era, we may have felt that we had been doing nothing but suffering. We must remember that as bearers of the truth, our suffering is so precious. Many members thought that Father would pick the brides and bridegrooms of the True Children only from the children of the 36 Couples. But Father chose Kook Jin Nim's bride from the 430 Couples. Upon this foundation Father will open up the entire races of the world to be engaged to True Parents' family in the future. That foundation is coming.

In 1975, Father sent out missionaries to 127 countries. The missionaries were sent out in teams of three: one Japanese, one American and one German. At the time, people didn't understand why Father sent out these three impossible nationalities. But Father was already looking toward the restoration of the world. Father was always going out with them, so four enemy nations went out together to save the world.

From 1975 when Father sent out the missionaries, there was a 12 year period during which time all the persecution of the world had to be cleansed and completely overcome. The 12 years is over now and that has been done. Father laid the foundation for victorious unity and victory over all the opposition only 12 years later.

The 36 Blessed Couples are like an anchor. From that anchor, Father set up a certain system, discipline and heavenly organization. Father laid one level after another, paying one indemnity after another, cleansing all areas until today. Father can declare this his greatest, cleanest and total victory.!

On October 3rd, 1988 (11 months ago) Father declared in Korea the opening of a new heaven, Patchunjel. This is a special foundation day of Korea. At that time, Father declared the foundation day for the Kingdom of Heaven. Father thought that every dispensational meaning and program must be completed within eight months. It is now 10 months later and Father is finally able to declare God's Parentism. Even the restoration of kingship has been declared.

Father has never spoken these words before. Father's words are progressing for he is now speaking about the restoration of kingship. Once this world is spoken, Satan is absolutely powerless to come upon Father's work. Therefore, Father wants you to be bold and strong. That's all you need to do. Anyone who agrees with Father, join in his spirit and march forward to this goal to become an ultimate victor in the history of mankind.

The new era for God and Parentism has been declared. Everyone who trusts Father, knows that this is happening and joins in this great crusade to become one with True Parents. You must be filled with hope, not despairing or discouraged. You must march forward with Father full of hope. Everyone who pledges to do that with Father, raise your hands and say Amen!

Opening New Hope Farms

Excerpts

Father mounts a steed at the Opening Ceremony for New Hope Farms

I am very proud to present this equestrian center to the world. In the future, riders, judges and audiences will come and be amazed at the magnitude of this facility. Equestrian competitions in the Olympic Games are very special because only noblemen have participated in this sport in the past. But now, through New Hope Farms, it can be available to a much larger group of people.

I'd like to characterize equestrian competitions: Unlike other competitions, where only men and women compete, in equestrian sports there must be cooperation between man and creation. Horses are very clever animals. In an obstacle course it is not just the rider, but horses that are making judgment decisions -- of height, distance, energy required. If the horse fails or if there is no cooperation between rider and horse, there is instant disaster. If the horse misses a step, the rider is thrown off and can be severely injured. So the rider must be brave as well and hang onto the horse even in a precarious situation.

Our champions, Un Jin Nim and Hyun Jin Nim, will be engaging vigorously in this sport in preparation for the next Olympics. They must receive inspiration from God, and always begin with a prayer for God's protection.

Un Jin Nim and Hyun Jin Nim lead Jeung Jin Nim, Hyung Jin Nim and their horses around the arena.

Un Jin Nim and Hyun Jin Nim lead Jeung Jin Nim, Hyung Jin Nim and their horses around the arena.

Not only the rider and horse, but the coach is a big factor in gaining victory. These three form a trinity. Only through their unity can victory come. A champion should not always need to be pushed by the coach, but should be sensitive to him and even acting ahead of his instructions.

It takes four years to prepare for the Olympics but the actual competition takes a matter of minutes. This is such a serious commitment, almost as impossible as shooting at the moon, so you need to invest all your heart and mind.

The countryside here is beautiful, perfect for this training center. Its name, Deer Park, is actually very appropriate. Horses jump very well, but deer jump even better. So the horses being trained here must catch up to the deer. This will be the birthplace of many future champion horses. Deer Park should be a champion horse production center, not only for equestrian jumping but for racing.

Its indoor ring is the only one of its kind in the world. It is very special because it is so large with no beams in the middle. Originally the engineers said it couldn't be done, but they finally produced a special advanced technology. The weather affects outdoor games a lot in this northeastern part of America. Most riders must go south if they wish to continue training in the winter. Now they don't need to go south anymore -- they will come here and be so grateful for Father's contribution to equestrian sports.

Equestrian sports have been the domain of the West, so people will be shocked that a Korean man, Rev. Moon, built this. This is the largest indoor ring on the East Coast of the United States -- it therefore must be the largest in all of the world.

Although you are a little too late to participate in horse jumping, your children can come here to compete, so please support this facility.

I am giving this testimony to Deer Park so that you will join with me to thank God for this great gift to True Family and the Unification Church. We must celebrate tonight with a deep sense of gratitude.

New Hope Farms Opening Ceremony
Mary Trifault

On the clear sunny afternoon of September 3rd we arrived at Deer Park for the opening ceremony of True Parents' new equestrian center, New Hope Farms. A surprise greeted our eyes as we drove through a countryside road on the outskirts of the town of Port Jervis, New York, and rounded a small hill. There, fitting harmoniously into the creation, were several large, beautifully designed buildings surrounded by outdoor training rings and immaculate grounds. As we learned later, New Hope Farms is located on 80 acres of land in the foothills of the Poconos and is a very unique year- round competition facility. Even the horse stables were spotless with every harness and saddle perfectly in their places.

Soon True Parents and the True Children arrived to pray and cut the ribbon at the steps of the main indoor center. After sanctifying the facility with Holy Salt, True Parents entered the main competition arena, followed by 600 family members. Father delivered a dedication speech which enabled us to connect to the heavenly meaning of this equestrian center.

In Dr. Bo Hi Pak's congratulatory remarks, he expressed how thrilling it was to be at one of the finest equestrian centers of the world, but the first one to be completely offered for God's purpose and ownership. He said that "equestrian lumping is a true love sport that combines the human and animal worlds; through this center Father is establishing an absolute heavenly standard and morality in the sports world."

Mr. Peter Kim, the President of New Hope Farms, gave a brief history of the equestrian center, explaining that it can provide a winter training center for Un Jin Nim and Hyun Jin Nim. He added that since it is on the border of three states, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, it will be able to attract riders who normally have to stop training in winter, or who go south to train, which is very costly.

Mr. Kim informed us that the site, Deer Park, was originally located and purchased by Il Hwa while Father was in Danbury. In 1985, True Parents visited it for the first time, and Mother especially loved this area with its mountains and valleys. Construction on the horse farm soon began, starting with two residential houses, and then adding the barn, two indoor rings, five fenced paddocks and an outside grass ring. Since there is a large underground lake at Deer Park, plenty of water is available for the 500-1000 horses that come to an equestrian show. Even the extremely important composition of the indoor ring dirt footing, a clay/sand mix, was exactly the kind of soil already there. Finally, the main structure is very special because of its spacious dimensions. The engineers constructing it were required to employ previously unused technology to build the ceiling. Because 12 feet of the main arena's 48 foot height is underground, it needs no heating or air conditioning.

During the construction, there was some negativity toward our church, but by holding a pre-open house for the local residents, many of their hearts were won.

The New Hope Farms' first showjumping event, the Autumn Classic, September 6-10, offered a $100,000 Grand Prix. It drew many of the world's best showjumping riders. Offering a state-of-the-art showjumping competition facility, this event should thrust New Hope Farms into the center of attention in the equestrian sports world.

Mr. Peter Kim was also the Master of Ceremonies for the evening banquet, entertainment, and the jumping events. After the elegant banquet prepared by the East Garden staff, we all returned to the bleachers to see several beautiful performances by the Washington, DC and New York Performing Arts Departments. Perhaps the most humorous part of the entertainment came as Mr. Kuboki joined the stage with the East Garden dance ensemble.

Finally, the moment we were all waiting for. Mr. Kim invited Un Jin Nim, Hyun Jin Nim, and their trainer, Mr. Paul Haunert, out into the ring. He gave some background information about horse jumping for the enlightenment of the inexperienced audience. After a brief warm-up, Un Jin Nim, Hyun Jin Nim, and Mr. Haunert each rode the 8-jump course, giving beautiful no-fault performances. They made it look so effortless and graceful that Mr. Kim reminded us of the thousands of hours of practice and sweat and emotional investment to get to that perfection level of rider/horse performance.

For the jumping finale, Un Jin Nim and Hyun Jin Nim rode two rounds of timed showjumping. Competing for time as well as performance was a much more difficult exercise. A very tense audience breathed sighs of relief and admiration as True Children completed the jumps.

Moving from the breathtaking to the adorable, next the younger True Children came out on various sized "ponies," depending on the age of the child.

After putting the horses through different paces, the children proceeded to "jump" over poles several inches from the ground.

Just as it seemed that the evening was over and we had already experienced overflowing love, Mr. Kim announced that True Parents were going to draw calligraphy on the stage in the ring, and that everyone could come down and gather around True Parents. The calligraphy was "Courage and Greatness," for Father said this is what characterizes champions. Finally, Father and Mother walked off the stage toward the horses, and Father mounted a steed. With obvious delight and a big smile on his face, he rode the horse across the ring, accompanied by Hyun Jin Nim and Un Jin Nim. (The horse must have felt delighted, too.) Mr. Kim informed us that as a child Father had great desire to ride horses, but none being available, rode the farm cows.

We all felt so privileged to be at such a beautiful and intimate opening ceremony with the True Family. Father again invite, us and our children, the second generation, to participate in the developing ideal world with his own family -- this time in the realm of equestrian sports.

The Age of Heavenly Parentism

SunMyungMoon-890903a-1.jpg

My topic this morning is "The Age of Heavenly Parentism." I am creating a new terminology -- "Heavenly Parentism." The satanic world has been talking about democracy and communism, which are not heavenly terminology. Those two viewpoints are just stepping stones to reach the ultimate destination. Heavenly history has not started yet. In God's view, history starts from True Parentism, then later moves to the children or "Peopleism," not the other way around.

Most people don't understand God's viewpoint of "Parentism." Particularly the democratic American culture must understand that God's culture is centered neither on the people nor the individual, but on the parents. Freedom must be centered on God and parents. God is the root which widens to the parents. From the parents' trunk come many horizontal branches, which are the children. Democracy is "Childrenism." But the reality of the original world is centered on God and the original parents who unite, then creating children. If you do not know this point clearly, you may make a mistake in the future.

Materialism sees reality as originating in the external, material world. From the time of the fall, the world has been divided into two sides, culminating in the Free World and communism. In the restoration course, the one purpose is to recreate true brotherhood. Why did mankind have to take this course of conflict throughout history? Because they didn't have True Parents. History is simple. Restoration has occurred through wars, with the purpose being to restore the elder brother's birthright. The firstborn son belonged to Satan's side, while the second son was on God's side. Before the fall, the elder son and second son were both God's sons. During the fall, man united with Satan, creating two blood lineages. The problem religious history has faced is how to separate and distance mankind from Satan's blood lineage and establish a stable, pure blood lineage for God. No one understood how to do that. Only God, Satan and True Parents knew this point. What is the Unification Church? The Unification Church is the beginning point of history centering on God and True Parents. Its purpose is to create a new standard on the earth, to be victorious over Satan's world and to make a foundation for Godship and Parentship.

The Age of Godism and Parentism has started on the earth. You can see the democratic and communistic worlds diminishing and perishing. Who can solve their dilemma? They need to be together in one embrace, but the democratic world has no system and the communist world is only centered on the material world. Therefore there is no hope of brotherhood and neither one could ever control the world. Only by centering on God and True Parents can brotherhood begin. From there a true family is created, then the tribe, nation, world and cosmos. This is the true multiplication and expansion of humankind. You have to know this point clearly.

Cleansing Moral Corruption

Democracy cannot control the world, especially since the United States leads the Free World. Who can trust America today? People throughout the world are scornful toward the United States for it has become morally sick. Inside the United States there is the rotten scent of death worse than Sodom and Gomorrah or the Roman Empire. This is the golden age of satanic civilization; an age where naked men and women approach each other anywhere, having all kinds of perverted sex. The present situation is even worse than fallen Adam and Eve. At least Adam and Eve felt shame, hiding themselves with leaves. However, today's America doesn't feel any shame, which means it is beyond the realization of sin. Since the ability to feel shame is lost, the peril of America is at hand. If Heavenly Father chased Adam and Eve out of the garden even though they felt shame for what they had done, what would God feel toward America that feels no shame even in the sight of God? He would do far more than just kicking them out of Eden; logically He would want America to completely decline.

But God wants to cleanse America of its corruptness and moral decadence. That is the reason why God sent Reverend Moon to America. But the American people rebelled against me. Even though the United States may have a lot of power, no one in the world can respect her. So I launched a crusade to cleanse the moral climate of America.

On August 20th of this year at the celebration of my Danbury victory, I declared the "Love Providential Age." This is the age of the restoration of the true children. "True children" means the restoration of Cain and Abel, especially Cain, the eldest son position. Unless Cain and Abel are restored, especially the eldest son, there is no foundation for the emergence of the true mother.

Historically, Eve gave birth to two children with the eldest son belonging to the satanic realm and the second son belonging to the heavenly realm. Human history started within one mother's womb, with one side as satanic history and the other as God's history. These histories have to be restored and united.

Struggle Between Brothers

In the ideal world, Adam and Eve came from God. They were to unite and as parents create children who were with God. Their children could be divided into elder son and second son. The eldest son was to be the master of the house, automatically united with the parents and the second son would be united with his older brother. Parents belong to the heavenly realm and their children belong to the earthly realm. Therefore, without children there is no earth. By the same token, without Parents, there can be no heaven. For children, the existence of parents is absolute.

However, democratic America today has lost its parents, leaving only brothers and horizontal things to exist. Therefore, there is always a struggle, with one brother trying to eliminate or prevail over the other. So heart can never be first, but always the wealth, honor, or power of man -- all earthly things -- come first. They fight until one gains the victory. Essentially, they are just buying, selling or bribing in order to win their position.

History should have started from the individual who would have then been surrounded by his family, clan, tribe, nation, world and cosmos. That is the direct line from which history should have originated. The center of this history was to have been Adam and Eve who represented not only themselves, but their family, clan, tribe, nation and world. Adam, centering on God and feeling true love, would have created God's world.

But Adam didn't inherit God's personal dignity and love. Why? Because Adam fell, losing God and His love. Instead of an ideal world, Satan's selfish love controlled human kind through the satanic blood lineage. So no matter how famous or well-intentioned people were throughout history, they were fallen people connected to the satanic blood lineage. This made the restoration course difficult for God. Otherwise, why couldn't the absolute power of God control this world? God had to remove Satan's blood lineage and from that point He could control the foundation of the world. The original ideal world didn't have a stained, satanic blood lineage. So when this blood lineage is cleaned up, God will control the world foundation. This is the viewpoint of the Principle of Creation.

Mission of the Messiah

For this reason the Messiah is necessary to cut off mankind's illicit relationship with Satan and bring them back to God. Who is the Messiah?

The Messiah, centering on God and true love, comes as the parent and father of mankind. The Messiah's purpose is to judge Satan and exterminate his power. Furthermore, satanic love must be cleansed. After that, the brother relationship can turn to the parent-child relationship.

In summation, what are the three missions of the Messiah? First, to liquidate Satan; second, to restore true love; third, to create true brotherhood by centering on the parent-child relationship. Only by doing so, can true brothers emerge. These are the reasons for the Messiah to come as the parent and father of mankind. This is the only way that Satan's sovereignty, which had extended over the whole cosmos, can be controlled.

Do you have God's blood lineage? Blood lineage includes life and love. Everyone should have been born into God's true love and blood lineage. You must always know the cosmic perspective. No matter how victorious people have lived their lives throughout history, no one taught them how to ultimately understand everything.

From the time I stepped on this earth, I have never belonged to Satan. Are you in that kind of situation? No! So you absolutely need the Messiah. All of humanity needs the messiahship of True Parents! Humanity lost their parents and didn't know where to find them. God promised mankind that He would send the Messiah, educating man through the religious world.

In the Bible, wild olive trees have to become true olive trees. The Messiah has to cut down the wild olive trees that are lop-sided. Only when the eye bud branch from the true olive tree is grafted onto the wild olive tree can true fruit be produced and harvested. This means that every fallen concept must be cut away or cleaned up. Humanity today, when researching the roots of society, cannot find the point of our original beginning because the hints for finding out have been lost. This is a serious age. You have to make your foundation strong by following the Messiah's way. A selfish person cannot remain with the Messiah. You must forcefully follow the Messiah, offering your youth and your all in service to God's great cause.

SunMyungMoon-890903a-2.jpg

The True Battle

Satan's nature lies in your flesh body. For that reason, religion is the battle against oneself, not a battle against the world. Liberation theology, which is expounded around the world today, says, "We can save the society by changing the social system." They are socialistically oriented, but that's not a true religion; a true religion is to battle against oneself.

This is the personal formula for everyone. You have to separate from Satan's foundation. Even Jesus did a 40-day fast. Afterwards, God allowed Satan to visit Jesus and test him: "You have flesh ambition inside yourself. You cannot save mankind."

Is your love centered in God or Satan? When I kick you hard, you rebel, "What are you doing to me?" Satan is always kicking you day and night but you give him no resistance. When I kick you, I am trying to kick Satan out of you. When you rebel against me, you put yourself in a position to be abandoned by God. But God always forgives you, giving you one more chance.

You have no idea of the cruel treatment I have received. When half the United States persecuted me, I was always patient and never angry. Because I came to save America, I cannot show my emotion to this country until I have fulfilled this mission. I always felt that America was not my enemy. Regardless of how they treat me, I will always be a teacher and prophet to Americans as a whole. America knows that it is indebted to me. If I didn't exist on this earth, who could save the United States?

As soon as my name is resurrected, then America will be saved. So the resurrection of my name is the yardstick for the salvation of America. How can I say these things? America is dying. Democracy is not saving this country. That is apparent. Therefore, as an alternative, I must declare "God and True Parentism." God's Parentism is the new concept which can save America. Rev. Moon has brought that prescription and is applying it for this country's salvation.

On August 31 and September 1, 1989, I was in Alaska. These two days are most historical days. I would like to explain what I did and why I went to Alaska to do it. When you hear the word "Alaska" what comes to your mind? Grizzly bears, deer, snow, mountains, fish! Those of you who like the smell of fish raise your hands. American people don't like the fish smell, I know that. Tell me the truth. Americans hate to go where the smell of fish is strong. What if you had to cut the belly of the fish and gut it out? How many would like to go to Alaska to do that kind of job?

My Time in Alaska

American women would never like to do that, but Japanese sisters, blessed to American brothers, work in Alaska. Some of them are highly educated sisters. Since they are wives of Americans, they represent the American people as an offering. Alaska is in a most strategic position and unless you defend it, you will be very vulnerable to Soviet attack. If Alaska still belonged to Russia today, America would be helpless to defend itself. Who made Russia sell Alaska to America before communism appeared? God did! America is now abandoning Alaska bit by bit. I'm not buying Alaska by paying millions of dollars to the United States, but by loving Alaska's nature, ocean and mountains with true love. I go to the ocean for fishing and to the mountains for hunting and loving nature. By doing so, Alaska becomes my domain.

So I have always thought, "The Alaskan fish belong to me; I'm going to catch them and feed the world." That is my vision and my ambition. "Salmon" means salvation fish. Why? It is the true love fish. Did you know that salmon, only six months after they hatch, swim to the ocean to begin a 6,000 mile journey. They return to their native spawning grounds after four years. Can you believe how much smarter than humanity is the salmon? They first start out from their original hometown to go around the whole world making an historical foundation. Upon returning home, they swim upstream to spawn many offspring and in dying, they give the flesh of their bodies to their children as food to sustain their offspring who begin their own journey. How wonderfully the salmon procreate! It is almost a religious life cycle. That's why I call them "salvation Moonie fish". If the salmon are living in such a way, who shall be deserving to be the owner of the salmon, such a sacrificial, godly fish?

I admire and respect the salmon's way of life because it so closely resembles the Moonies' way of life. Those who share an international blessing should be living a salmon-like way of life for the sake of future generations. You should give everything for your posterity. For the sake of your children, you may even die. This is the lesson we have to learn from the salmon.

Those Japanese sisters blessed with American brothers have been working tirelessly in Alaska for eight years, gutting salmon while smelling fish every day. When I went to Alaska this time, I worked harder than they did so they could be comforted. I want to show the members that I love the fish. After I catch the fish, I embrace it and dance with it. I enjoy that kind of love for the fish, more than you. I have made that foundation, hoping that you will automatically follow this tradition. You have great power to be masters, leaders and owners of these great fish. The highest level of ownership is Parentship. Making that kind of foundation is not easy. But if I hadn't made that foundation, I couldn't scold or eat. In Alaska, there is still daylight at midnight; I love that.

I was there 10 times this year and every time I would go out to the ocean for fishing in the early morning and come back past midnight. Some who worked there wondered: "Why is it when Father visits here, he is in such a hurry to go to the ocean? Father loves the sea and fishing more than me." From now on, you must follow my tradition of restoration. To make that kind of foundation, you must give everything. To comfort the hard working members, I gave them a gigantic banquet, inviting all the Unification Church members.

Restoring the Birthright

This particular age of providential restoration is the restoration of the brotherhood realm, to restore the eldest son to his rightful position with his birthright. Throughout fallen history, the elder son and the second son had reversed birthrights. Through the restoration of brotherhood, the elder son has come into the original elder son's position to inherit God's Kingdom and blessing.

God, Adam and Eve, together with the three archangels were the basic units God created in a heavenly relationship on the very first day. Because of the fall, this particular pattern has been converted to Satan holding God's position with Adam and Eve in servitude to Satan. In the providential course, this situation has to be restored by going through certain crossing junctures.

The fall of man reversed the pattern of history at the beginning of fallen history. To change this, the "crossover" must occur at the national level. In God's providential will, the nation is truly the focal building block. For that reason, the nation is the unit where the new history will begin. After World War II, the victorious United States gave the defeated nations independence, aid and prosperity. On the national level, the era of brotherhood had come and so for that reason the United States had to give brotherhood to the nations of the world, instead of making them servants.

Crucial Crossing Juncture

In the course of human history, there was one grand opportunity given to the world by God to establish a Christian world in God's second son position, to restore the elder son nation's position, and unite the entire world. That possibility happened right after World War II. At that particular crossing juncture, the United States represented the right side with the left side being the communist world. The satanic world and the God-centered world, primarily the Christian world, could come together at the crossing juncture, uniting into a new history. Therefore, after World War II, a new order on the national level could have been established. A new nation would have been born: one nation, representing the Adam nation, another representing the Eve nation, another representing the Cain nation, and finally another representing the Abel nation. Together, they would have formed a family system.

So the period following World War II was crucial providentially. At the time of the fall, Adam and Eve consummated a relationship and had two sons, Cain and Abel. Therefore, in the Last Days, this pattern has to be reversed and restored to its original state. So the postwar period can be likened to a harvest time. At that time, the lineup was Great Britain, France and the United States. Great Britain is an island country. Islands always seek the mainland. Thus an island represents a woman's standpoint. Great Britain gave birth to the new nation of the United States, which places her in the mother's position. The United States cannot abandon Great Britain; they must maintain a close relationship. Why? Because of the mother-son relationship.

France, after World War II, was in the elder son position. The United States was in the second son position. When it is restored, the second son is in the elder son's position, which would mean France would be in the position to follow the United States.

The satanic lineup was directly parallel: Japan in the mother nation position, Germany in the second son position, and Italy in the elder son position. Japan, the mother nation on the satanic side, is a great imitator -- learning and absorbing everything from other cultures. God knew the day would come when the providential will would move toward Asia. Someone had to be ready in Asia to receive that age. That nation is Japan. Even though Japan was in the satanic realm, God was preparing that nation as an Asian power. Similarly, God prepared the one peninsula nation of Korea.

History started out on a continent. Then there was a move to the Italian peninsula; the Roman Empire and the Vatican were located there. From there it moved to Great Britain which is an island nation. In order to restore that pattern, the island nation was represented by Japan, the peninsula nation was represented by Korea, and the continent was represented by Asia.

Inheriting the cultural foundation in the Western world, Asia is taking over. Originally the Christian culture was supposed to prosper on the Asian continent. Jesus Christ came to Asia Minor and began a movement that was originally supposed to move eastward to the Asian continent instead of westward toward Europe. The original direction was reversed because of the crucifixion. Instead of going eastward to Asia, the movement went to the west to get to Asia, ultimately making a complete circle of the world.

Heavenly and Satanic Nations

For that reason, Great Britain, the United States and France must be looking to unite with the Adam nation. England was to be in the mother's position, the United States would be in the restored Abel position and France would be in the restored Cain position. In order for restoration to occur on the national level, there had to be a new national level lineup. In a way, World War II was the biggest event in human history. In order to oppose this heavenly move, Satan's nations united: Japan, Germany and Italy. Japan, with its satanic imperialism, engulfed Asia, including Indonesia. Hitler saw Great Britain and France as helpless and powerless, and thought if he united with Japan, they could conquer not only Europe, but Asia and the world. That was Hitler's ambition.

Satan knew that God's providence would be working in an extraordinary manner on the Korean peninsula, so he use the Japanese imperialism to occupy the Korean peninsula for 40 years, inflicting a period of suffering and indemnity before the actual restoration of that peninsula could occur.

God didn't let the three satanic nations conquer the world they were defeated. The victorious Allied nations, centering on Great Britain, the United States and France, were to fulfill their ultimate destiny by searching after the Adam nation of Korea. But the Allied nations failed to receive the Messiah.

For that reason, God used the defeated satanic nations to create a new lineup on the heavenly side. So Japan was adopted in the place of Great Britain because they are both island nations.

God restored Japan, Germany and Italy to God's side. If this new lineup had accepted Adam at this time, 40 years ago, communism would never have prospered.

From history we see that the Roman Empire moved and conquered an entire continent. Now the Adam nation of Korea and the Eve nation of Japan are moving together toward the Asian continent. Mainland China represents the archangel country. These three combined into one can expand all over the world. If the Western world had united with that concept in mind, a completely Christian world would have resulted.

The original lineup for God's side in World War II was not fulfilled because of their rejection of Adam. The new lineup consisted of a new mother nation of Japan, new elder son nation of the United States and second son nation of Germany. Satan loved Japan and Germany because they were satanic nations. God picked them up to restore them.

God's Hopes Dashed

The American people might say, "Why has the United States become only the archangel nation?" Actually, the United States should have been treated very harshly because the postwar failure was primarily the fault of the U.S. In the restoration of Cain and Abel, the United States failed and actually destroyed the one opportunity that God had given to the world.

I have suffered a great deal at the hands of this nation. But won the victory and now key people in this nation are studying my ideology. They all know that only Rev. Moon's ideology can save this nation, and that I am the hope of this nation!

All the major countries of the world -- Great Britain, United States, France, Japan, Germany and Italy -- took adversary positions to Rev. Moon who represents the Adam nation. None of these countries welcomed him. Because of their failures, communism became rampant everywhere. The era of communism divided all nations including Korea. Satan knows that ultimately Korea is the Adam nation and birthplace of the father who will come to save all of humanity. So in order to finally resist that kind of occurrence, Satan divided the Korean peninsula into two parts, creating a false Adam nation with a satanic father in North Korea. Kim Il Sung was the satanic father in North Korea, with True Parents coming out of South Korea. The confrontation is continuing; they have not yet surrendered.

I have been struggling alone for 40 years, starting from nothing and building one block after another to create a new national level structure. Korea, Japan, United States and Germany, the four major providential nations, have successfully completed this new lineup for restoration. I have already said that the purpose of this dispensation was the restoration of brotherhood. But with the consummation of brotherhood, we are going to a new realm of "True Parents". The "True Parents' Realm" is an elevated heavenly realm that is the direct dominion era.

Until right after World War II, Satan had been king. He had been the master and controller of the world. However, when the True Parents' realm is restored, the new order will create the new True Parents' kingship with the parents guiding the world. The destiny of the world is upon their shoulders. All of these historical consummations will occur on the Korean peninsula.

My ideology can be described in many ways: "Moonism," "Unificationism," "Godism" or "Headwing Ideology." Today, I have found a newer terminology: "True Parentism."

There are great differences in cultural traditions between the East and West. Who can bring these different cultures together? With the dawning of the Pacific era, America would become helpless because of this serious cultural gap. Many people might think that Japan may play a major role in the Pacific era for it is the richest nation. Even though they have lots of money, Japan cannot solve this situation.

The Asian Era

The Korean peninsula, similar to the Vatican, is where the Asia Era shall be governed. This is where the ideology of the New Age centering on Adam shall be born. Korea is the birthplace of the new unified culture. Japan, chosen by God to be the Eve nation, is fulfilling the mother's position. The mother saves the money for the sake of the children.

America doesn't have that concept for their next generation. Therefore, America represents the heavenly archangel who must bring everything back to the mother and father's home country. This is the heavenly archangel's mission. Why? The original archangel standpoint was lost to Satan. How can the archangel position be restored? By the American Christians in this country uniting with the mother and father countries. Only by America uniting and supporting Japan, Korea and Asia can it survive. That is a principled perspective. The cosmic current is flowing to Asia. Humanity numbers at 5 billion; 3.2 billion of these people live in Asia. How could God cast out Asia? Never.

An east and west division usually results from a cultural gap, while a north and south division occurs over a difference in wealth. Can the United States solve such conflicts? Can Gorbachev or the Japanese prime minister resolve these problems? No! Therefore, people have come to regard Rev. Moon as the only possible solution for harmony between the east and west, as well as the north and south.

The United States of America declared war against Reverend Moon. The battle has been fought. The U.S. was defeated, I won! This is the reality, not theory or theology.

Many religions were included in the opposition: Christianity, Buddhism and Confucianism. Every religion on the earth united against me.

But when I attacked, they all fell down completely. This is Rev. Moon's foundation. Who protected me? God! No matter how strongly they came against me, they could not move my horizontal position away from the vertical standing point. No matter what comes against me, I cannot bend from this vertical point.

At last, the American opposition fell down along with the other five major nations. During this time, I was always working to save America and save the religious path. During the darkest time, I was making plans for the future. When everyone looks at the rising sun, the darkness disappears and they see everything clearly. World opposition caused a spiritual hell with darkness completely covering Rev. Moon's appearance. When that darkness disappeared, there was Rev. Moon standing alone and radiating a powerful shining light.

The democratic world and the communist world have to follow me. Now they are fighting each other, so who is the best one to unite them? Who can solve the differences between the whites and blacks in this country? Reverend Moon. How can western and eastern people be united into one? Who can solve the problems of cultural and economic separations, uniting these different spheres into one? There are many famous people who have lived and died on this earth unable to do that. The one who was persecuted for trying to do this was Rev. Moon. Our present work is resolving the problem bases resulting from the existence of vast differences of culture and wealth in the world. The Unification Church is going forward.

You have to know this more clearly than I do. Why? I am almost 70 years old. For the entire 70 years of my life, God and I have been standing on the front line, pulling the Unification Church. Unification Church members must help as well to the point of influencing me. This is the mission for your age and your time. You must know this is the point where you are standing. Is this clearly one in your mind and body? No! This is the problem. How can you cast away your past in just a few years? Many American people didn't want such hard training. No matter how much you didn't want it, I realized that without such training you cannot reach my purpose which is the hope for the future world.

The Future Generations

Rev. Moon can unite people completely centering on true love. Eastern and western people marry together. Black and white people can mix together in marriage with no problem. I am an artist in such work with people. I can create a masterpiece.

When I went to Kodiak, Alaska, there were many colors of couples with many babies being born. I thought that we have created a new breed. How will their world be as they grow up -- dark or hopeful? You are the light in a hopeful world. God will protect you. He will make a bright shining light for your path. I know that you are the proof that my 70 years of work have become a reality. You are the fruit and victorious result. I was enjoying these thoughts in my mind. Who else could make this kind of phenomenon? In past history, phenomena have come and gone. But what I have created has broken all concepts and become the standard of future actions. This is the center of existence not just a hopeful thought. I am proud of the Unification Church's next blessed generation.

We are creating the recipe to make ideal colors. It can be done not by separating colors into only white or only dark, but by mixing the colors. In artist language, this is called using a deeper background; this means the background appears not to exist. The artist cannot create a masterpiece without understanding how to use the shades of dark. The use of dark colors can change the picture, but using only dark colors is not good. Rather, you must mix all the colors to make the background. Using that idea, the vertical and horizontal concept appears and the past historical background disappears. Father wants to make that kind of masterpiece with humankind.

While in America, I made oneness with everyone, western and eastern people, centering only on a true love. What kind of true love? Centering on the true love marriage system they became completely one. Now we no longer have divisive cultural backgrounds.

Until now, Satan has been proudly standing on his foundation of power derived from the suffering of all righteous people who, wanting to return to God, were defeated. They didn't know this way. I am well aware of the historical way Satan created. I didn't follow it. I was protecting this position of righteousness. From this center position, I stirred up the whole world.

Rev. Moon was one man standing against an atmosphere of oppression. Strong societies of mankind from all over the world came against me. I didn't have a government, military power, or money. But I knew God and God's love center well. After I had stirred up the world, I knew I could help God use the second generation. The first generation Americans lost their chance. This is similar to the first generation of Israelites forced to wander in the wilderness and become eagles' prey. But I wanted to save the second generation -- this was my mission.

The second generation hadn't heard the bad rumors about Rev. Moon, so they belonged to me. I knew they would be the generation of couples blessed by me to unite into one world. Seeing this future, I was steadfast and stirred up this world to make a victorious foundation by fighting all of Satan's power. You must never forget how I gained this position. I was named the victor. Only one man in history has ever defeated all of Satan's world. Now I'm leading world humanity into unity.

Everything I had was poured into this country so that with love, we could restore the original concepts. God, the first time He made the creation, completely invested more than 120% of Himself. Many Unification Church members have inherited this way of thinking, "Everywhere I must invest myself more than 100%. Forsaking the past, I can find my true love partnership." That is creation's main purpose.

Installing Tribal Messiahship

Everyone who has come against me, even Satan, cannot deny that Rev. Moon has made that kind of foundation a reality on the earth. Of course God is enjoying my victory and He is raising His hand, "My son! Monsei forever! Victor with me. Welcome to my place of Heart."

Now wherever Rev. Moon goes, there will be no opposition because he has brought unity between east and west, north and south on the individual level, family, tribe, nation, world and cosmic levels. This is why I can install the tribal messiahship through you. At the time of Jesus, even though he came as the Messiah, he was whipped from day one to the end. There was opposition and crucifixion, just the opposite of what should have been. I received similar persecution. From this day on we can go forward without any opposition because the world is looking for hope which cannot be found anywhere except with Rev. Moon!

Forty years ago, the failures of established Christianity and the Korean government and leaders brought the dispensational period of 40 years indemnity to me. During that 40 year period, communism prospered because satanic power prospered. Now that I have declared a victory, everything is crumbling down. Not just communism, but also the crime ridden, morally corrupted United States is also collapsing. Where is the hope? Going to Rev. Moon.

Both the Soviet Union and the United States know that global war will not save the world, but they have been helpless to handle their own formidable power. The only way that the battle among brothers can be stopped is if they recognize True Parents and listen to their Father and Mother. That is the solution.

This is why I am speaking on "God and Parentism." We are moving from the restoration of the brothers' era to the parents' era, so the children must be united with their parents. From that unity, the solution for all the world problems will emerge.

From this point, we will move to the True Family. In the True Family realm, Satan cannot invade or accuse. We have been under the indirect dominion prior to this, but now we are moving into the direct dominion which is True Parentship dominion. This means that True Parents are responsible for world affairs, even satanic people. Delegated by God's power, True Parents have the power to forgive, restore and save them. The people of the world should be humble, repent and accept the Principle that True Parents are installing.

Three Levels of Family

When all the brothers and sisters in the world are forgiven, then their worldly parents will be forgiven by the True Parents. There are three layers of parents: Adam's time is one layer; Jesus' time is another; and True Parents in our time. Looking at our society, we have one layer of people who married and formed families; another layer is made up of men and women who are in love, but could not consummate their love; the third layer consists of men and women who are pure and not yet married. The first layer represents Adam's family or Noah's family who are not quite yet in the bosom of God and failed to receive the final blessing. The second layer represents the time of Jesus and the third layer represents True Parents' time.

The 36 Blessed Couples represent all three of these layers of humanity. When Father blessed the 36 Couples it was indicative of his intention to save all mankind. Father didn't want any segment of society left behind.

The Era of Parentism is also the era of forgiveness. In the past, in order to be truly qualified to receive the Blessing, you had to prepare for seven years. Now, in the era of forgiveness, Father can give the Blessing after only 40 days membership and study of the Divine Principle. If men and women are totally united with True Parents and have preserved their purity, they can become candidates for the Blessing. This means that greater numbers of people can be blessed by True Parents.

With the advent of Parentism, the era of paying indemnity is ending on the horizontal level. Vertically, there is some indemnity still remaining. But for the Unification Church, the persecution era is over. We are now in a position to be welcomed, respected and responsible. Therefore, Father declared the tribal messiah era. Years ago, we left our families and relatives to dedicate ourselves to the Unification Church mission. Now we have come full circle, returning to our families. That is the remainder of the mission.

The truth is like a dream or fantastic fantasy. To make this dream a reality was far more difficult than the original creation. Repairing something is far more difficult than doing things right initially.

God has been working tirelessly for millions of years, yet was unable to create one true Adam until now. After the fall, the world of God was in chaos. I put order into the world through the truth of the Divine Principle. I restored everything starting from Adam. I restored Adam and Eve, the Adam nation, Eve nation, Cain nation, Abel nation and the archangel nations. An entire world restored in just one lifetime by one man is just inconceivable. With the strength of the truth and by uniting with me, we have prevailed. I have defined our ideology as "True Parentship."

Fulfilling the Sacrificial Offering

If we follow this God and True Parentism, the rest of the world will automatically come because there is no other way. There is no light to guide them through the surrounding darkness except the light in our direction.

Two kinds of Unification Church tribes will emerge: one is, "Father we are tired, no more, don't go any further, we are dying." The other group is saying, "Rev. Moon, thank you for giving me spiritual life." A million people will come crying that out. I am proud the sacrifice did not have to include too many people. The sacrifice was only a few and you must be proud that you are the selected few. Did you live with that dedicated feeling of being a sacrifice: "I've been chosen for this most honorable, sacred mission and I'm doing that"?

This is a very serious question. Originally, you did not take that kind of sacrificial position; I fulfilled it representing you. I alone won the championship. The champion receives the value of the whole nation. You can then follow that champion absolutely. If you dedicate yourself to respectfully following him, as a result you will be trained to inherit the championship of the winner.

On August 31, 1989, in Alaska I had a special ceremony called "Pal-chong-shi." The second ceremony was to declare God and Parentism. This is the restoration of true kingship. In the heavenly kingdom, no palace has been erected. There can be no palace in heaven until it happens on earth.

Adam and Eve were not only supposed to be the parents of mankind, but "kingship" was to be achieved by them. They were to rule the universe here on earth and then thereafter in Heaven. That was not done, so there was no palace in Heaven. God's palace on earth has to be restored.

God-Parentism is really another way of saying "forgiving all enemies." Under the parents, everyone is in the children's position. Children cannot be enemies to the parents. Then the only duty of the parents is to love the children. True Parents have provided the example of living without enemies and with hatred toward none. The declaration of no enemies includes Satan. We are in a position to love the archangel who brought the fall to mankind.

Korea has become the most critical land mass on earth in the dispensational purpose. Besides the restoration of the Adam, Eve, Cain and Abel nations, there are three archangel nations. South Korea is the Adam nation while North Korea is the satanic Adam nation. Japan is the Eve nation. Korea must have all three archangel nations surrounding it: the United States, the Asian archangel nation of China, and the communist archangel, the Soviet Union. When Korea's problems are resolved then the world's problems will be resolved.

From the satanic point of view, the Adam nation is North Korea with the Adam position being held by Kim Il Sung; China was the satanic Eve nation and the Soviet Union was the satanic archangel nation. When Father brings China to South Korea's side, then North Korea's satanic system will crumble. But Satan, too, is coming after China. The Soviet Union, who doesn't want to be outdone by China, will follow them to Adam. This is already happening.

Kim Il Sung represents false fatherhood; he is called "My father supreme prime minister Kim Il Sung" by the North Korean people. Nowadays, North Korea has declared home church. Of course, the satanic method is always by force. But true Adam is accomplishing his mission through true love and freedom.

I feel that when Kim Il Sung's life is over, a turning point will come for all of Korea. That time is coming soon and when it does happen, God-Parentism will move on to restoration of true kingship. In 1948, independence came to Korea and soon after it was separated into North and South. This period of separation has been for 40 years as of 1988 and with 4 years added to that, becomes 1992. This will be a crucial dispensational year.

Father explains the meaning of the Pal-chong-shi Ceremony.

Father explains the meaning of the Pal-chong-shi Ceremony.

Pal-Chong-Shi Ceremony

What is "Pal-chong-shi"? Vertically speaking there are eight phases of movement or dispensational steps. "Pal" means "eight." These steps start from the servant of servants' era, servant era, adopted son era, true son era, mother's era, father's era and return to God. Vertically, the reverse order has to be restored. These periods are the periods of the indirect dominion of God. From there, we move up to the new era of the direct dominion of God. This is the vertical view of the History of Restoration.

Horizontally looking at history, we start from the individual, family, clan, tribe, nation, world, cosmos and return to God or God's Era. Again there are eight periods.

"Chong" means "settlement" or firming the foundation. Therefore, "Pal-chong-shi" means that the vertical and horizontal eight steps have been firmly established.

Today, I have testified to the dispensational ceremonies conducted in the name of the victory our True Parents have won. But the parent-child relationship is a love relationship. A love relationship always engenders an inheritance. Therefore, you are in a position to inherit my victory as your own victory. This declaration of Parentship and restoration of kingship is all yours by accepting Father and communicating your relationship of love.

After this Pal-chong-shi Ceremony, we are going over the period of indemnity which I paid. Religious history has been a history of failure. All the national histories have been the history of the failure of national restoration. I have restored all these histories. True Parentism is becoming a way of life -- your daily way of life. The fallen realm will no longer be recognized. Now our one remaining job is to unite the world into one. When that is accomplished, we will move on to the restoration of true kingship.

Restoration of Kingship

When the kingship is restored, then the liberation of God becomes a reality. God is truly the king of all creation, the king of kings. True Parents are united with God, and exercise the authority given to them by the power of God. Those belonging to the unified Adam nation become the citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven. The existence of a kingdom means there is a king.

I chose Alaska as the place of this ceremony, because the members in Alaska have suffered the most. They have paid the most indemnity. Centering on them, I held the Pal-chong-shi ceremony. From now, we are entering the God-Parentism era.

Parentism will be over when kingship comes. The heavenly spiritual environment is already moving toward that direction. I have always emphasized indemnity. Now all of this indemnity can be shortened and forgiven.

During the restoration of the brotherhood era, we may have felt that we had been doing nothing but suffering. We must remember that as bearers of the truth, our suffering is so precious. Many members thought that I would pick the brides and bridegrooms of the True Children only from the children of the 36 Couples. But I chose Kook Jin Nim's bride from the 430 Couples. Upon this foundation I will open up the entire races of the world to be engaged to True Parents' family in the future.

In 1975, I sent out missionaries to 127 countries. The missionaries were sent out in teams of three: one Japanese, one American and one German. At the time, people didn't understand why I sent out these three impossible nationalities. But I was already looking toward the restoration of the world.

From 1975 when I sent out the missionaries, there was a 12 year period during which time all the persecution of the world had to be cleansed and completely overcome. The 12 years is over now and that has been done.

The 36 Blessed Couples are like an anchor. From that anchor, I set up a certain system of heavenly organization. I laid one level after another, paying one indemnity after another, cleansing all areas until today. I can declare this my greatest, cleanest and total victory!

On October 3, 1988, I declared in Korea the opening of a new heaven, "Segye Tong-il-kuk Ketchun-il." This is a special foundation day of Korea. At that time, I declared the foundation day for the Kingdom of Heaven. Every dispensational meaning and program had to be completed within eight months. It is now 10 months later and I am finally able to declare God's Parentism. Even the restoration of kingship has been declared.

I have never spoken these words before. Once this word is spoken, Satan is absolutely powerless to invade our work. Therefore, I want you to be bold and strong. That's all you need to do. Anyone who agrees with me, join in my spirit and march forward to this goal to become an ultimate victor in the history of mankind.

The new era for God and Parentism has been declared. You must be filled with hope, not despairing or discouraged. Everyone who pledges to do that together with me, raise your hands and say Amen!

Rev. Moon's Prayer

Chung-Pyung Lake, South Korea
Unknown date Circa August, 1989

Heavenly Father, I understand that a day of sorrow occurred to Your mind, which wished that Noah be better than Abel, and again a sorrowful incident approached Abraham's family whom You had chosen hoping that they be better than Noah. I also understand that You have established the victorious foundation through the journey of battles, longing for better offspring centering on Jacob.

We understand that upon such a foundation, Moses bearing the responsibility of national leadership was to be more absolute than Jacob. That is why he left Egypt and spent eighty years in Midian, in the barren wilderness. We understand that John the Baptist should have had even more devotion and made more effort than Moses. We feel and behold through our own eyes that the Israelites became the people with thousands of years of sorrow because John the Baptist was not able to fulfill the worldwide mission.

Heavenly Father, thinking that Christianity should have invested more devotion than the Israelites, and that the Unification Church should invest more devotion than Christianity as the third Israel set apart to fulfill God's will, this son standing in this place understands clearly that I have to invest more devotion than anybody in all of history.

You understand very well about the situation of this son who feels deeply ashamed when I think about how inadequate I am, how many imperfections I have in front of Your dispensational will which longs for absolute perfection, as time passes by, as I relate to You with a sense of mission.

I have not sought the recognition by others, nor started with the expectation of recognition by anybody; however, I know very well the fact that You sympathize with me, going ahead of me and clearing my path. Not one person but numerous spiritualists and many people whom I have encountered testify that this person is the most miserable person in the whole world, however I am not the miserable person. You know my mind, which wants to perceive that I was an unfilial son who did not yet realize that You are more miserable than I am.

The Unification Church was able to remain until this day not because of anyone's accomplishment or merit. I understand that it is only because You functioned as an invisible root and became the driving force which eliminated every obstacle, this Unification Church was able to remain at this place today.

I understand well that when the question is raised concerning who is in the important position to be responsible for navigating the fate of the Unification Church, it is not the insignificant church leaders who are here today, but a person who cannot even speak "Heavenly" of the Heavenly Father and wail and speak "Father" and again cannot close his mouth for his mind is so aroused by Your piercing heart; I know that You are looking for such a person.

Father, please let this period be a time to reflect back at the most shameful past, to shed the ignorant self that promised results of insignificant value, and to pledge oneself to Your solemn teaching.

We now understand that I am my own enemy. Where I am victorious over myself, You are there. We must understand that You who drive us to be victorious over ourselves have already been victorious to Yourself. When we think of how great Your suffering endurance had to be and how much Your grief had flowed into You, especially as You are omnipotent and omniscient, until You stand over all those things, we can only dare to understand and fathom it. Please look down with mercy upon us who are lamenting for we are unable to reach Your situation from this place.

Father, here at Chung-Pyung at this time your young children have gathered not to find something. They came looking for a place where they can again be drenched in Your deep heart and again experience Your heart. Facing difficulties is not a problem. We came here with our earnest desire to find the place where the relationship with You will never be shaken eternally and eternally, and where the bond be never unbound.

We understand that we must win over this world. We must win over Satan. When we observe this, we realize that the destined course of the Unification Church is a course overcoming misery after misery. Father, You know very well about the heartache that we feel, knowing that the nation is in a difficult position yet we are unable to stand in front of this place. Because You know about the heartbreak that You feel when You know the difficulty of this world yet You are unable to stand in front of the world, You easily know our heartbroken situation.

We should be proud to have Heavenly Father who has persevered through so much suffering in order to prepare the way for us before this time has come. Before being proud of anything of our own, we should be proud of Father. Before we venerate anything of our own we should venerate Father. Before looking forward to be recognized with all our value, we must feel indignant about Father being unable to be recognized. I know through my own experience that when the children, who can really live for You, perceive Your miserable situation, not knowing how to properly respond to You, feeling empathy toward You and cry out in tears "Why must Heavenly Father walk this miserable path? When will we bring about the day of liberation for You?" then You can be liberated from that miserable situation.

Your children who are gathered here, please don't let them shed tears for their own children. If their children are miserable, let them realize it is because You are miserable and let them pray embracing You. When You look at us tearfully praying "Please Heavenly Father, do not be in such a situation" Your heart aches thousand, ten thousands times more. When realizing this we must comfort You in such a situation and tell the children with prayerful heart that "Although you stand in a lonely, miserable place now, your descendants will not perish, and your future will not be bleak. This I will prove to you. Don't feel resentment because we can't feed and cloth you now." Let them know that such parents are holy parents.

Because I could not cloth and feed my wife like others sometimes I would see her groaning in the sick-bed. At such times, instead of worrying about the difficult situation and environment, I thought of how much misery would Heavenly Father's heart feels when He sees His children go the heavenly way in such a situation. And even if my wife collapses and I fall down, I would pray for Heavenly Father's heart to not be miserable and shed tears, then I would be liberated from such a situation again and again. Father, please let them realize that when they become crazy about loving Heavenly Father, and when they become crazy about caring for Your will, they shall never perish.

Now our bloodline which gushes forth as the blood of artery from the heart and our bosom must be connected with Heavenly Father. Therefore we must reach the place where our blood can be identical with the blood which pours out from Your artery and Your bosom. In order to reach that place, I realize that I must die and You must survive. Heavenly Father, I earnestly pray that You would grant me to walk this path gladly.

Because You love this place, Chung-Pyung, You have made this place as it is. This is the ground that You have sanctified through much dedication. I pray earnestly that this meeting can plant the tradition such that in this place the tears of dedication can be entangled, in this place every occurrence can be related with You more closely, thus all people of all nations can visit this place and long for You through their tears and tears, through their difficulties and sufferings.

Even if we are in the situation of naked, orphaned, persecuted people, the place where You walk together with us is not a miserable place but a happy place, that place is the place where the Kingdom of Heaven will be resurrected, and that place is where the happy settlement of future will spring forth; thinking these things, we must go forth again, straightening our tired body. Stimulating the spirit and vigor in our lifeless eyes, looking over the far away mountain, we must go forth again. Heavenly Father, I desire earnestly that You will allow us to be Your children who struggle to go first on the thorny path that we must walk through, rather than belatedly following the footsteps which You have left.

We have not yet understood our holy Father's heartbroken mind to achieve restoration. We have not understood that in Your victimized inner mind, which endured so far with pledging, bleeding heart, there is a grieving and longing mind which pleads to us that "Oh my son, please become a son of subjugation and victory."

Let us understand clearly that although we have become the children of disappointment and despair living under the pressure of wretchedness, in the midst of this, Heavenly light approaches, and that light becomes the dividing path; the new Kingdom of Heaven is opened here and thus the luminous Heavenly glory begins.

Father, please allow us to pledge, from this time on, the energetic steps of tomorrow. Please let them understand that if they can become the sons who already determine themselves to go like this once they become such a person, to go like this once they receive such a wife, to go like this once they bear such a child, and carry this out in action, and if these sons can go forth in the way of Your will, then Your day of new prosperity can rest in a safe place.

Please allow us to cross over fruitfully this hill, which we must cross in any case, and allow us to not become a small-minded man when we are at the crucial juncture of determining our destiny. I earnestly wish and plead that You would allow them to be bold and courageous, and to become the victorious fighters who can introduce Heavenly Father by petitioning to all people.

I ask Your favor once again that now all the things which we undertake from this first day on can be embraced in Your glorious bosom and I also hope that You will grant that this day be blessed. At this time when August has almost passed away please grant a new start for the Unification Church and allow the binding of hopeful Heavenly fortune to be fulfilled.

We must think that by the one who knows and the one who is unknowing, the person who is ignorant and the person who is enlightened, the heaven and earth will divide. I again ask Your favor to please protect, enlighten, and guide all the children who are gathered here so that they may become the wise people and that they may appear in front of Your blessed presence. I pray all these things in the holy name of True Parents, amen.

The Completion of the Dispensation of Salvation and the Providential Age of Love

SunMyungMoon-890820-1.jpg

We must always remind ourselves of the three most important things: love, life, and blood lineage. The purpose of God's dispensation is to establish these three things substantially on earth. There are only two kinds of people: men and women. The purpose of God's dispensation is to save both men and women. To complete the salvation dispensation and establish the love dispensation, men and women must harmonize.

The dispensation can be so complicated, but at the same time quite simple. Fortunately, we now know the simple explanation. God's dispensation was to recreate Adam, and then recreate Eve, and harmonize them. More important than the fact that Adam and Eve lost love was that God lost love. So God needs to recreate love and centering on this love, harmonize Adam and Eve. In order for this dispensation to have any meaning, it must include both a man and a woman. Adam represents the unified heaven and earth and all historical individuals, families, clans, nations, and the world. Likewise, Eve represents unified heaven and earth and all of these levels. When this perfected man and woman unite, then the whole world will come into unity centering on love. After the fall, man and woman's mind and flesh became separated; therefore, east, west, north and south became separated from God. It was Satan who made the widespread separation of mankind, not God. You have to be clear on this point.

How can we unify these realms? Man lost all ownership at the time of the fall. Woman, too, was separated from her property. Satan separated owner and property and promoted war between all people of the world. How can Abel help elevate that fallen world to a point where Satan can no longer cause separation? There are many worlds to contend with: the woman's world, the man's world, cultural traditions and backgrounds. These must be restored through man and woman cooperation. How can man's course and woman's course be united? This is the major problem. Men and women must always pursue love, life, and lineage.

The restored Adam and Eve, centering on true love, will come into complete harmony. Because of this love, they will give birth to new lives, and those new lives will form a new blood lineage. The world populated with that lineage would belong completely to God; there would be no other element in it. What about our blood stream? What is its origin? That blood comes from the life of the parents; the mother's and father's life connect into one new life.

Love, Life, and Blood Lineage

Men and women are very different in nature. What can make them ignite into one exciting burst of light? Only true love can ignite the fire! Do you have that true love? True Parents have absolute and eternal love. But we inherited the wrong root of love through the fall. Here in the Western world, many deny that the fall occurred: "Who has fallen? What has anyone in my lineage done wrong?" But love, in the beginning of mankind, started in the wrong direction. Without recognizing this, then salvation and a religious life become meaningless. What is the final purpose of salvation?

Mankind, represented by a tree, has multiplied fallen nature throughout the world. Restoration of love, life, and blood lineage must occur in the reverse order. Religion is the process to solve these three problems. To fulfill these purposes, God established the Jewish religion, which now represents the Old Testament Age. After that, there was the New Testament Age, and then the Completed Testament Age. Each age was different. In the Old Testament Age the main condition was the act of making an offering. What was the real purpose of the offering in regards to these three goals? Its purpose was to cleanse the blood. Without draining away the stained blood, we cannot find life under God's domain. In Jesus' time, people needed to become one with him in order to find life. Jesus represented the life center for all mankind. The purpose of completely loving and uniting with Jesus was to restore true love. Do you now understand the meaning of these ages?

The concept of offering appears quite early in the Old Testament Age. Offering all things was connected to the blood lineage. If we were to ask a religious man or high priest today, "What is the meaning of offering and sacrifices throughout history?" Could they give a clear answer? We know the reason is to cleanse the blood and gain life and love after that.

In the New Testament Age the purpose was to restore life, which also was connected to the lineage. The Completed Testament Age is the age of love. In the Old Testament Age, man had to bear the cross of all things; in the New Testament Age, man had to bear the cross of life; in the Completed Testament Age we are now bearing the cross of love. After that, we will belong to God. That is what the messiah has been doing on the face of this earth. He has been bearing the cross of love. Because of his sacrifice, the world of love will be liberated.

SunMyungMoon-890820-2.jpg

The Three Testament Ages

The purpose of the Old Testament was to restore all things through sacrificing them. By sacrificing Jesus, God's son, the parents could be restored. By sacrificing the parents, God can be installed. If everything happened as God intended and established Christianity had followed God's prescribed course, then the Messiah wouldn't have suffered so much here on earth; he would inherit that foundation and go directly into the age of love. This was the whole purpose of salvation throughout history. Today we have reached the final age: the love dispensation age which is directly administered by God.

The 'Old Testament' in Korean means 'old promise', while New Testament' in Korean means 'new promise'; likewise, the 'Completed Testament' is 'completed promise'.

Our present purpose is clear. We have to follow the way that I pioneered. All of the vertical history is now occurring horizontally centering on us.

If we draw a circle, the Old Testament Age is the periphery, the New Testament Age is inside that, and the Completed Testament Age is the innermost circle, with the center being God. For example, in the Old Testament there were all things, individuals, and couples. What would have been vertical indemnity of the Old Testament Age is now being expressed horizontally, which makes it easier and more practical to restore because we cannot physically go back to the Old Testament Age. So today we must restore all things, the children's position, and the couple relationship.

Let us make an analogy. Clothing belongs to the creation so it represents the Old Testament Age. The body represents the New Testament Era. The mind represents original man's position. Together, they represent the completion of all three ages.

Let's look at ourselves. Does what we wear, representing all things, belong to me because it has been clearly restored? Although they exist as real objects, they may not have anything to do with God. They are not original because they are not connected to God's lineage.

For the original "me" to emerge, I must originate in God's love, God's life, and God's lineage. It did not happen, therefore we are still trying to connect. We have to connect to these three things or the dispensation of salvation has nothing to do with us. Do you understand?

Become Spiritually Reborn

When the fall took place, everything happened at one time, not separately. Just one act of the fall brought forth this whole fallen tree. Since we lost these three all at one time, in restoration we have to deny the whole tree all at the same time. Otherwise, we cannot bring ourselves back to God. We may love and respect our ancestors, but after knowing this, we want to deny them because we now know from whose lineage we come. This is why all major religions have been teaching us to deny our family, our belongings, our nations and spiritual atmosphere, and even ourselves. We must go back to zero. From there we can start anew, like God when He first created in His own image.

In restoring all of these three elements it is very necessary to have the father/son relationship. Fallen man exists only as a shell. Inside he has nothing; it's just like a scarecrow with a form but nothing else. He must receive love and become one with the parents. Before finding new life, there has to be love. In our case, we have life, but since there was no true love, our originating point was not God. Religion has taught people to deny everyone and everything that has anything to do with you. Religion has been teaching people to even deny their own lives. Jesus said, "Those who want to lose their lives will gain them." Why? Because everything belongs to Satan's side, that which belongs to earth belongs to hell and has nothing to do with God. So if we stay the way we are and go to spirit world, we cannot go to heaven.

Most Christianity emphasizes Jesus' blood. Why is the blood so meaningful? Most don't know clearly. But we know that Jesus' blood means the parents' blood before the fall: true blood.

Can Father alone, by himself, inherit these three things? Not without Mother! This is why the goal in the Old Testament was to have the Marriage of the Lamb.

Where do fallen men belong? They are born and become fully mature physically, but in essence they have not been truly born. It is written in the Bible, "Unless you are born again, you cannot be saved," which means exactly that. They have to spiritually go back into their mother's womb and even before that -- back into the father's bone marrow. That means his blood lineage is mine, his love is my love, his life is my life.

That's what restoration means: we have to go back to that original position. Then the father will marry the mother and through the mother's womb we are born again spiritually. The mother has to be willing to shed blood and even sacrifice her life to give birth to children. The parents' sacrifice establishes the order of love; upon that foundation, children can be born.

Basically all that we have to know is that Father embodies the new LOVE, LIFE, and BLOOD LINEAGE. Unless you connect with all three, you cannot connect with God.

If we tramp on the satanic old blood lineage, in God's eyes is it a crime to do that or not? In the Orient, parents strictly discipline the children to educate them to follow the straight way. Although it is hard on the children, that way Satan must leave them. Here in the Western world, discipline is very lax so education is ineffective. Oriental people always want to stand up straight, whereas Western people are always sitting down for they cannot stand up for long periods of time.

The Vertical Love Center

So the most important unification is with God and True Parents. God is the vertical true love center parent. The other churches don't know that; they call him Heavenly Father, the Creator, but they don't really know the inner contents of God. Unificationists know that the Creator is true love center vertical parents. What is the definition of vertical? It has to do with love and lineage. Once this vertical relationship is established, we can travel back and forth through it. How do you know that this line is vertical? Vertical means that it is the shortest distance between two points of love. Love never detours; it travels straight, taking the shortest possible distance. I suffered so much to discover this truth about the vertical line.

Let's say a husband has been out at war and had many narrow escapes and comes back on a ship. At the port, when his wife comes to greet him, does she run straight to him or go zigzagging over the pier? She will not only go the shortest distance, but travel in the shortest time. Love has the fastest the speed in the universe. The speed of love is even faster than the speed of thought.

What kind of king can occupy this very straight vertical line? Only the true love king is qualified to do that. When you see a tree standing in the distance, you can immediately tell whether it is straight or not. Your eyes are horizontal, so how can they measure vertical things? It's because our mind is straight. Because God's vertical true love center is connected with me, my mind automatically resembles that vertical love. My mind is my vertical self. Humanity still doesn't understand that point, but when you came to the Unification Church you understood this for the first time. Your mind is not just "thinking"; it is your vertical self.

What is my body? We inherited it from our horizontal parents. Where do the dual characteristics of an individual meet? At the true love center. The reason you need to connect with this center is because together you form a complete circle. We have to intersect right at the center to make a perfect circle. We cannot intersect just any place and still achieve this.

So the father/son relationship is vertical and the husband/ wife relationship is horizontal. The vertical relationship existed even before birth, but the ultimate conclusion of the purpose of life is this horizontal marriage relationship. A person will say, "I have grown up for 20 years and have now graduated from college and have a good job. But now, my purpose in life is to find the right woman; nothing matters except this."

Proper Order of Love

Those women who would prefer to have ten Ph.D. degrees and give up marriage, raise your hands. What about the men? God created your strong sexual drive, so that you would be very sad if you stay single. There is no remedy for that except having a marriage partner. This is the most important of all truths. That is why we call this our holy place. Shouldn't God have a holy place in the body that He created? It is the originating place of love, life, and blood lineage. Therefore, these organs have the three most important keys. These three elements are the foundation for true ownership. But fallen man hasn't known how to use those keys.

This precious connecting place between man and woman is so important. You must become completely aligned with your spouse, forming a straight line. Love is in such disorder in this society. Promiscuous, homosexual, and even incestuous relationships are rampant; these have no place in God! Many families have such terrible situations. When we lose all orderliness of love our destination is hell. Do we have a history of love which is consistent with this law of love? If we don't, then we have to really repent, so much that we are willing to even cut off a part of our body. Are you sons of God or sons of Satan? T. be God's son you must be absolutely pure. Now we understand Jesus' paradoxical teaching: "Those who would lose their life, will gain it." No one has understood this clearly until Rev. Moon came to the world. We have to repent, not just with words but with our eyes, our nose, and each different part of our body. We stand in the position to repent a thousand times over in order to restore history.

I can bring you love, life, and blood lineage. What is mine can be yours. Jesus said, "Let the dead bury the dead!" This means let the spiritually dead bury the physically dead. But you must connect with life! I have searched so long for solutions to the mysteries in the Bible. I will never be satisfied with only a vague idea -- I need a straight answer. Do not ever say, "Oh Father, you take too many hours in giving the sermon." I am trying so hard. I can give this conclusion in 15 minutes, but can you understand it in 15 minutes? These things have to do directly with your eternal life. So unless you know how serious I am day in and day out, you cannot criticize me.

Era of the Dispensation of Love

So now, after accomplishing all this we are entering into the fantastic new era of the dispensation of love. That is the conclusion of my sermon. Unless we understand this point clearly, we won't be able to comprehend what I will do from now on. The wild olive tree must connect with the true olive tree. It has to be grafted to it strongly so that it will never disconnect again. In grafting, where do you have to cut? Would you like to graft from the feet or from the neck? Father once saw a 2,000-year-old wild olive tree in Israel -- it was huge. Let's say that huge tree is about to be grafted into a true olive tree. It will have to give up all its big branches and be connected to a rather small part of the true olive tree. Bystanders who see that comment, "He must be crazy! He is giving up everything in order to gain something he doesn't understand." That 2,000-year-old tree that was just grafted has nothing -- no parents, no family, no country -- just its body, not even branches! All the other wild olive trees are laughing at this big olive tree who is grafted onto a new bud.

So the world has been laughing at me: "He is called the Lord of the Second Advent, yet now he is in Danbury." Do you think we have been right or wrong in being persecuted by our own family, even kidnapped by our own parents, but staying in the church?

This is the reason why, if you had a love relationship with someone before you joined the family, he is your enemy. Never have a lingering memory of that person who ruined your first love. Have you ever stopped to think seriously about your past? How can you restore your first love to heaven? It is so difficult because your original mind was spoiled. So your first love was worse than Satan. God cannot stand your background, because the original owner of love is God. But your ancestor was Satan. Satan promoted this world of free sex. He was watching the providential time for the coming of the Second Advent. Satan knew that the messiah's purpose was to restore purity on the earth, so he corrupted this world, creating the most impure atmosphere in all of human history. Who can save this diseased world? You have to save people. You have to become a salvation doctor who can give an injection of true love.

How proud are we of our mission? You cannot compare any other time with this time in history. There are signs everywhere of the decline of this society, so we must cling to this new life. With your impure history, do you expect that your original spouse can just appear in front of you and love you? You must make a standard of truth, centering on the true love tradition, for your future generations. You still have Satan's blood, Satan's life, Satan's love. If you abuse your position, future generations will accuse you of being worse than Adam and Eve.

Purity Is of Utmost Importance

Can you understand Satan and overcome him by yourself? No! I came to give you eternal truths but you didn't welcome me. You cannot change your blood lineage if you are impure. Even through you may hide things on earth, everything becomes clear in the spirit world. That is why I am so serious with you now.

Did you cry out so much in repentance that the whole world heard you? You must do this so that history won't judge you. My whole life was filled with tears, shame, and persecution from Satan. I was like a rock, always being stepped upon and kicked. You have things so easy! Through being beaten I was resurrecting this world. That is why I was so serious, living this way year in and year out.

Now, we must make the vertical 90 degrees line, not 45 degrees. You stand in the position of all of history, representing the Old, New, and Completed Testaments. Your blessed couple is representing True Parents. In fulfilling your tribal messiahship your position will become like that of Jesus Christ. But you have to rededicate yourselves to God. God still doesn't have ownership of people. He was originally the owner of thought, of people, of all activities, but because of the fall everything was lost. Who can restore ownership to God? This is the messiah's mission -- the True Parents' mission. Both parents must appear in the fallen world and start restoration through a course of recreation. We must be absolutely centered on God and the vertical True Parents. On a globe, every surface point can send a vertical axis to the center point. When the vertical center moves everyone moves in the same way. I want to create a system throughout the earth where everyone is standing on a vertical axis.

I am true vertical love's representative, because my mind represents vertical true love and is completely connected to the center point. We are the horizontal true love parents. So we represent vertical true love, true life, and true blood lineage, and horizontal true love, true life, and true lineage. God bequeathed His vertical true love to me at the time of my birth. We are now one in love, life, and blood lineage: we are true love partners. Then I made the horizontal 90 degrees connection, which can be multiplied to many levels.

When man fell, he lost these three points. He lost his purpose. I found this purpose and am completely connected to God's love, life, and lineage. Now I have clearly educated you.

So now we have the original vertical parents, connected to God's center place and expanding their vertical axis to the child. That is why the children cannot separate from the parents. Spouses can separate because they were already 20 or more years old when they first met. But children connect right from the beginning to the parents' love. So children can never cast out their parents; instead, they must follow them. We need to absolutely trust True Parents, for they have the original love, life, and blood lineage. If you lose that, you cannot stand in front of God.

This is the moment where the salvation dispensation is coming to an end; it is connecting directly into the love dispensation era. This never came about automatically. I had to dedicate my whole life for this purpose, and now it is being fulfilled.

We need to be a tribal messiah, but before we are a tribal messiah, we have to know the cosmic messiah's background. Now we know why we had to restore the Old, New, and Completed Testaments, going the sacrificial way of the cross. This was to gain true love, true life, and true blood lineage. To inherit those three, you have to meet the vertical Creator Parents and the horizontal original parents. Centering on purity you can connect and become a true son.

Eight Stages of Restoration

Now I am going to explain what I had to do to cleanse the blood lineage. In cleansing the blood lineage, I started from the servant of servant's position, and went through the servant's, adopted son's, step-son's, and true son's position. When you become a true son you can connect to the Holy Spirit, which is the mother's spirit. At that time you will be able to connect to the husband. That is the father's place. Finally, the eighth stage is to return to God.

Father had to do this in order to cleanse all the historical blood lineages of different stages. After that, the connection into life was made. This was originally established Christianity's role.

You have to pass all these levels to make complete salvation. This is for you, your family, your tribe, your country, and YOUR WORLD! I dedicated my whole lifetime for this salvation course to save you, not myself. I never took one rest. I was born as the king of kings, but I never experienced a king's palace or sovereignty. I stayed in the lowest place. The whole historical foundation was lost and I had to build it up. You must now spread my love foundation horizontally.

I always prayed to God, "I am going to be Your true soldier." It was such a lonely course of persecution. I didn't make one sound of complaint to God. This is what I am proud of. Compare that with you during your few years in the Unification Church.

So remember, this is for you! God is not far away. God is in me. True love, life, and blood lineage are all here. It was so difficult for God to create a providential launching pad on the earth for the savior. Then, after I was born, my course was so miserable.

Religious people, saints and martyrs had been building this foundation up step by step, and sometimes they failed and had to painfully start all over again. I take my course so seriously because that is what all religious people have been working for throughout history. If established Christianity fulfilled its original mission as intended by God, and connected its foundation with me, I would have arranged God's world already, without suffering, bloodshed, or sacrifice. But as it is, I worked all of my life for this purpose. If established Christianity then had understood the historical providence and united with me, the Unification Church wouldn't even have been necessary.

Miserable Path of Re-Indemnification

So I had to re-indemnify these 4,000 years of history. I could not do it in 400 years because I wouldn't live that long, so I had to do that in 40 years. Knowing the full meaning of the dispensation, I couldn't even bear to live without reaching this goal. So I asked the world to persecute me. In 40 years, Father had to solve over 4,000 years of God's regret. My original position was very high but instead I had to go down to (servant's) the bottom to start it all over again. "In the servant's shoes with the heart of the parent," is exactly how Father lived. Mankind had an incredible debt to pay, but I stepped up and said, "Heavenly Father, I will be responsible for all of this." The only path I sought was how to die, over and over again. I always prayed, "I can perish, but Your love should be abundant on the face of this earth. Your love alone is important to me." So God said, "My son, Rev. Moon, has planted My true love tradition in the world, so I will excuse the world." Now God stands on this substantial territory instead of just in the realm of mind. That was my whole life's purpose. I had no worldly successes. Instead, I spent my life repaying humanity's debt. Because the first parents fell, at the time of the Second Coming, True Parents inherited the mission to clean up everything in the world, including the spiritual world and future generations. Unification Church members really have to know that our church's history is completely different from established Christianity's 2,000 year history. I made our Unification history over an incredibly tedious 40 years. Now you come here and inherit that so easily.

Now, the brother's age is cleaned up. If established Christianity had fulfilled its mission, cleaning up the world foundation wouldn't have taken all this time. I took responsibility for doing it. When you go through this course, you will earn True Parents' respect. We have so far been in the indirect dominion age; we have just recently entered the direct dominion age. So to cleanse the satanic blood you must inherit the heart of the parents in the shoes of the servant. Can you inherit Father's way just by knowing it? No! You must kill your pride and experience the agony of the restoration course in order to meet me. I was so busy all of my life to save you. To become a true child you must inherit the parents' situation by saving others. You cannot take this lightly but give your whole life's effort. Then you can bear true olive fruit. How much have you participated in the worldwide battlefield? Father has been on this battlefield, indemnifying every situation in America. Since Father came here 15 years ago, he has served this continent completely and connected it to the whole free world. No one else took up this position of responsibility.

Please Understand My Course

When I went to Danbury, you were crying out, "Father, don't go to jail. I don't like that." But had anybody paid the indemnity for this nation? Out of all the Unification Church members, no one understood that. I was the only one standing in that position. At the time Jesus was on the cross, many Jewish women were shedding tears and Jesus told them, "Do not weep for me, but for yourselves and for your children." It was the same concept at the time of Danbury.

I was to inherit the highest position in providential history, but Satan spread propaganda that the worst name in history is that of Rev. Moon. Satan said, "I will tear down the love castle that surrounds Rev. Moon; I'll tear down everything and make a flat field." Was God able to visit me? No! I had to go this course alone -- I had no teacher or even friend.

Do you know my course well? I had to build a victorious foundation in America; otherwise, I could not go back to Korea. I always come to America with a purpose. No matter how difficult it is, I never try to escape from my mission. I did everything because of God's providence. I made all the conditions necessary for the worldwide foundation.

When Father blessed a total of 20,000 members, they symbolized the unity of the Israelites and the Roman Empire. The cosmic parents could then be established. I now have connected the worldwide foundation to Korea. These are the formation, growth, and perfection levels. From then, the world parentship will appear. Those parents are God, as the vertical parents, and True Parents, as the horizontal parents. The Divine Principle viewpoint is that you have to follow Father completely and absolutely. Otherwise, you will go astray. You must follow that course, and then cross the bridge and find freedom. This is your eternal position. Did America or the free world take that kind of position? No! So I have been building the world of freedom on my own. I have been paving the way, waiting for this time.

God is the loneliest one, but then we two combined into one and built up the foundation with literal tears, sweat and blood. But now you can connect with this center without tears, sweat or blood. Is that difficult for you? How can you say that? Look at my clothes and body -- there are bloodstains, tear stains, and sweat stains everywhere. All of these stains were for you. What you don't realize here on earth, you will discover with regret in the spirit world. If I meet God in the spirit world, would we embrace with laughter or with great big tears? Tears! I have to maintain a position of dignity, but if I would forget everything, I would jump into God's bosom and cry to my heart's content.

The Lonely Path of Persecution

For 40 years, I did what I had to do. But I am never proud of what I have done; I say, "I could have done better." In Danbury, where all the unfortunate, alienated people end up, I loved them more than anybody else on this earth, even their own families.

God has been desperately trying to save our lives and has been persecuted by tens of millions of people. If you are to save a few lives, can you not tolerate a fraction of what I have endured in my lifetime? When I first heard I was indicted, I never tried to evade it. Instead, I took the first airplane and flew to America lest people should feel that I came back because I had no other choice. I gladly came here, because I knew that going to prison was the shortest path to save this nation. When America thought they had defeated Rev. Moon, Rev. Moon had them by the belt instead. I pledged, "I will never let go of this country no matter what happens."

Centering on this step in the dispensation, I expanded it horizontally. Have we gone the individual indemnity way, family indemnity way, tribe indemnity way, nation and cosmic indemnity way? One way has to be vertical, the other way, horizontal. Who did this or even thought about it? Why did Satan have to retreat? Why did the Communist world have to crumble? None other than because of Father's foundation. Centering on this foundation, Cain and Abel exchanged their positions. Cain had to come down to the second sonship and Abel had to go up to the first sonship. Then Satan had to bow down, and God, who lived at the bottom throughout human history, was elevated.

Now neither the communist nor free world can prevent the salvation of mankind. Since they have no other way to oppose Rev. Moon's salvation to the world, now they instead are trying to welcome me.

Exchanging the Birthright

Abel and Cain have come to represent the right side as the mind and the left side as the body. After the fall, man was separated into God's side and Satan's side. This pattern has been multiplied until, at the present time, it is manifested on the worldwide level. There are two kinds of people now: spiritual people and God-denying people. Satan's side has had the position of strength. I will unite those Cain and Abel philosophies in my headwing ideology. Communism has stood for one century, but Godism and headwingism will stand for ever. Now, intelligent people in the world see that both the free world and the communist world are perishing. Headwing philosophy is already starting to take hold. Until now, Satan has had dominion, but I made a stronger philosophy and a worldwide foundation. To make this foundation, first 30 or 40 countries came against me in 1976. I combined America's persecution directed at me with other countries around the world. Everyone felt, "Oh, we don't like Rev. Moon; we are going to stop him." They wanted to continue this world of hell. But I did not perish; instead, I am still holding my position and proclaiming it to the whole cosmic world. Are you going to take the way of resurrection or the way of destruction? Your confident answer sounds too clever and too clear.

It was not so easy to graduate past Satan. He couldn't imagine that I would decide to follow this course. Satan now has to kneel down before God and Rev. Moon.

The restoration of the elder sonship has been accomplished, so we are now coming to the age of direct dominion. That is the parents' era. Until now, only fighting between brothers occurred. During the course of restoration, the elder son always had authority; every time, the elder brother beat the younger brother. Now that pattern is reversing itself; through inheriting God's blood lineage and indemnifying the worldwide foundation, a crossing junction between eider and younger sonship was automatically created. Their positions have been exchanged; the elder is going down while the younger is coming up.

Both can only unite through the parents. The parents stand in the position to save all of humanity by connecting them to the starting point of the original world. You have to know clearly the historical background to understand the providential ages, vertically and horizontally. I vertically restored the blood lineage, life and love. From this central point of love, a family system is created. This is the way the whole world will be restored. I stood in the position of brother in the past, but now stand in the Second Advent messiah's position. Jesus' position was that of tribal messiah. What about us? Are we going to follow the way of tribal messiahship? This is such a precious time.

Age of Parentship

I am standing in the center position, sending out the position of horizontal messiahship. Satan cannot invade this horizontal parentship path because of the Principle. Who is Father? He is the kingship parent, the cosmic parent. What is a tribal messiah? It is the same concept but a different level. Through horizontal parentship we will serve and spread God's foundation to the world. This new world cannot be invaded by Satan because it will be centered upon Father's words and lineage. Satan will have to leave through the back door. Satan was the original archangel and always advanced himself, but this will never happen again.

People can no longer persecute the parents. What is my philosophy? It is the true love theory. True love means the vertical 90 degree and horizontal 90 degree axis connecting to parentship. All generations must be born from the parents' blood lineage. Through love and life united with God, the new blood lineage emerged when I was born. You must go this way of truth. The Unification Church teaches this way of vertical and horizontal indemnity. I received worldwide persecution for the purpose of restoration; America is the chief archangel country and put me into prison.

I had to use an interpreter to make God's foundation in the Western world. At last, many thousands of people will accept my teaching. The Oriental and Western worlds must unite; this is absolutely necessary. Westerners have complained that I didn't understand Western people. True Parents came to bring spiritual insight to this country. They were most precious guests. But the American government and people persecuted me. American leaders complained because I was Oriental. Without the Oriental leaders you will not be able to inherit the Father's and Mother's position from them. This is God's providential perspective.

God has made the restoration order. Can the providence be centered on white people? Absolutely not. You must be connected with Father; there is no other way. You must have parents! I am the center of that parentship, which is now extending to the tribal messiahship. I am the vertical center and horizontal center, representing the Creator and original True Parentship centering on true love. So what are your vertical and horizontal duties? Inherit the eldership blood lineage by absolutely uniting with Father.

Solving Historical Regrets

There is still more to do. Because Jesus, the second Adam, died on the cross, we have to console his regretful heart. We must help solve Adam's regrets in the same way. Even our True Father, the third Adam, still has some regrets. How can the persecution of the third parents be indemnified? This is our remaining task: to solve the regrets of the three parentships. How can we serve True Parents? Until now, we were exchanging the brothership birthright. Now this has been accomplished. Now, we can pay back our mistakes and comfort True Parents' hearts by fulfilling tribal messiahship.

Look at the how the free world, and even the communist world, are coming to me. Amazing things are happening in the Soviet Union and China. China knows how I was persecuted in America and they see me as righteous. Countries had to retreat in their negotiations with China, but I was able to continue because my purpose is to equalize the world economy.

America thought I was such a foolish man, but now they see my victorious worldwide foundation. We built this foundation by working morning, day, evening, and night. Americans only knew the daylight, saying they didn't need the night, morning or evening. So I claimed ownership of all 24 hours -- this is the natural way of subjugation. Who is smarter, then? Who has ownership? If you unite with me will you go down or up? You will win, because history moves ahead according to natural spiritual laws. I don't use propaganda but have beer, seriously preparing for the future. Why do you stay here? Because you are earning spiritual interest by being here.

One True Love Culture

Satan separated everything from the beginning of history: cultures, blood lineages, races, brothers, everything! Now I have appeared and my purpose has been to unite all the races, not by force but by true love.

Satan built up many kinds of fortresses, but Rev. Moon has been tearing down barriers of culture and race, based on the true love culture. Yellow, black, and white are combining into one family. How have I been doing this? Not just through brothers but through international couples. True Parents made this original true love tradition which will continue forever. Centered on that standard of love, we will naturally guide the destiny of the entire cosmos.

No matter how much property or economic foundation people have, the crucial issue in the future will be: Did they make unity with all people and all generations? But we are already following the way of unity and natural subjugation. You don't have to worry about the future because you are already a part of that love race of coordinated colors. I am so interested in our future generations. In our church we can see a black baby born to and sucking from a white mother's breast. What a beautiful masterpiece of love! Father is making the foundation for peace from these international couples' love. In the future, Father's grandchildren will intermarry with all other races. Think about how the world will look 10 generations from now! Those descendants will all be part of the same family system.

I have broken down every barrier to love. This is the historical era of kingship. So far, nobody could complete this foundation. But now, the kingship of love will stand forever and multiply. How wonderful that is!

All the indemnity of history is now resolved. The remaining problems are man and woman unity and racial unity. But I have pioneered the solutions. Every kind of love, every kind of person, wants to connect to me because I am the cosmic center. We have reached that point. Now the children must understand that their relationship with the parents is more important than with their spouse or child. Otherwise, you cannot connect to the original center point of love. Have you accomplished that kind of connection with True Parents? Once we do that, all problems will disappear. The resolution to the conflict between the free world and the communist world is imminent. Now, those two worlds are confronting huge racial problems. So far they have completely ignored my advice, and even tried to chase me out of America. They will now say, "We need Rev. Moon here in America." Now, resurrection will occur in a direct way, instead of the 15 degree angle that it had to pursue in the past. It is like noontime, rather than sunrise. There is no shadow: heaven and earth are completely one. Now we are following the vertical track.

Conclusion of God's Providence

I just explained the historical, dispensational, and indemnity conclusions. And we have addressed the human problems of love, life and lineage. We have also been talking about the first, second, and third Adams. Those were all periods of kingship. True kingship includes not just the heavenly world, but also our physical world.

So today in the world there are three types of people living:

1. Couples who got married without Father's approval;

2. Unmarried people who have had a physical relationship; and

3. Those who have preserved their purity in the expectation of meeting the bride and groom.

Virgins belong to the third category. Those in the third category will be able to connect to God first. The others who fell are still in the water, barely maintaining their spiritual life.

How do we liberate all these people is now my question. The cosmic Messiah must appear to save these people. He must bring them up to the position where they didn't fall, by forgiving them and setting a condition so that these people can resurrect to that position. The condition is that you bring your parents and brothers and sisters, as a tribal messiah, out of fallen Adam's position. Parentship! This is tribal messiahship! You are in the parents' position. Parentship means that, centering on purity, you connect people to the center true love parents. Father has forgiven us and brought us up to the parents' position. Likewise, all of your families will be connected to the cosmic messiah; then instantly these three generations will have been liberated -- family messiahship, tribal messiahship, and national messiahship. The tribal messiah's purpose is to lift up the original Adam's parentship and connect the tribal messiahship to it. That is all. Satan cannot infiltrate that new world.

Centering on you, the tribal messiah, your parents and your nation can be connected to the cosmic messiah. God will occupy everything. This is the providential age of love. Do you understand? That is the conclusion. This is a situation for celebration. True Parents have crossed the love persecution. But I am able to forget everything with love. I am saving the generation that persecuted me, and their children. Now you clearly understand God's past and present providence. The salvation providence is past. By working in our tribal messiahship areas we will welcome the fulfillment of all cosmic, historical, and human purposes. Father has been so seriously awaiting this time. Now you know that the Divine Principle can answer all questions. This is the first time we accomplished complete salvation. Are you following absolutely or mediocrely? Do you want to go the same way as God and True Parents, no matter how difficult? Unite with me and let's march on that way! If you will do it, stand and raise both hands. Let us all have three cheers of mansei welcoming the Love Dispensation Era!! Mansei, Mansei, Mansei! 

Unification of the Cosmos

Sun Myung Moon

SunMyungMoon-890730-1.jpg

The topic of Father's sermon this morning is Chunju TongilTongil means unification and chunju is our own church terminology. The universe and cosmos are something we can see, but chunju includes the world which we cannot see, namely the spirit world. This means there is an outer world as well as an inner world. God wants to unify these worlds into one chunju. People may think of us as dreamers chasing an imaginary goal because just the world we can see -- the earth, solar system and cosmos -- is so immense and unlimited.

Physical bodies move, like a finely-tuned engine, not in accordance with their own laws but in accordance with one universal law. Imagine if the chunju needed repairs similar to man made machines. But this huge universe which God created just operates perpetually. We can only imagine how large the universe is. Compared with that, this tiny earth has a population of five billion of which we are a part. How big and how small!

Is there anything that challenges the bigness of the universe and says, "Yes, I will conquer it"? If someone determines to do that, how great is his undertaking. That person's mind must be huge. Yet would not such a huge mind be big enough and heavy enough to crush him? Of course not, because a huge thought is actually something invisible. We know that gravity produces a strong pulling power. This human thought has to be a hundred times stronger than gravity, otherwise the universe will not follow this man because it would like to follow someone who has a bigger thought than its own! Which entity thinks about these huge things, ideals and directions? It is only mankind.

Man is the only animal that has thought. Thought is that motivation which propels us to reach for an idea, for more value, even for eternity. There are plenty of examples. We have 400 people here and each one wants to find the most valuable things in the universe. Women are searching for the best men and men for the best women.

Let's say a woman narrows her choice down to two candidates, and then compares these two: who has more sensitivity, who has more knowledge, who is more faithful? Humans are the only beings with this kind of comparative thinking process. For example, I notice that no two women here wear the exact same type of earrings while all women strive to become the most beautiful.

I have noticed that today's value system has changed from 10 or 20 years ago. Now women look everywhere for a great man but, failing to find one, settle for a man who is the richest or most influential.

Men are like that too, for they want the best and nothing less. That is an unmistakable characteristic of man. Does man come from monkeys? Monkeys resemble man a lot, but do they have this thought system or value system? No! Have you seen any monkey who tried to put on an ornament like earrings? No. Did you ever see two monkeys compare themselves to see whose position was greater? No. And yet some men think those animals are our ancestors. Mankind is really in a spiritual darkness.

Master of the Universe

Why is it that all animals crawl on all fours, while only man walks upright on two feet? Standing tall is a manifestation of man seeking greater and higher goals. A man who walks straight with a direct gaze is not hiding anything, whereas the man who averts his gaze downward as he walks can have a deceptive attitude. We should look forward and up, not short and down. Which did mankind aspire to do first -- to dig and create underground tunnels or to fly in the air? Today we have satellites and space shuttles. We've gone to the moon. Now man has started the race toward the farthest points of the universe. Only man among all the animals is prepared to be the master of the whole universe. Do you agree with me on this point? (Yes!)

What about Unification Church members: How do we compare with other people? We have come into unification, but did we get here by ourselves or by following someone else? We united because we centered on True Parents. Then where is the eternal resting place "unificationally"? What is that root of unification? True Parents! That point is important because the root is very powerful. There are five different races or colors, but all are uniting with me.

So let's examine unification. When you think of unification, you think immediately of the Unification Church. Then the first thing you notice is Rev. Moon. I am the founder and the center of the Unification Church. Also there is the Divine Principle teaching, which is actually God's universal teaching. We know the Divine Principle has the power of attraction. Is that because it has great power or because it is the most logical explanation? Of course not. No matter how great the logic may be, unless it has elements which connect to life, then it's distant from us.

What kind of man would you like to be pulled and attracted to -- a man of reason or a man of power? Which would you choose to attract you: reason, power, or life? Most men are now searching for power, material wealth, or knowledge. Why are people attracted by something lower than life -- power, money, or knowledge? There is something here that doesn't stand to reason. Your lifetime is really quite short. So would you knowingly exchange your life for material, knowledge or power? Never. The value of life stands way above that of wealth, power or knowledge. If I said your life comes under some other power like wealth or knowledge, you would feel insulted wouldn't you?

Putting True Love First

Then what is the most valuable thing in the chunju? (True love!) You said love, but you also said true. There are many kinds of love other than true love, aren't there? I know you like love, but what kind of love is what worries me. Some people say, "Father, I was born here in America, so I only like Western love." The Orientals may feel that way about Oriental love, but while I believe that Oriental love is deeper, both are still only partial love.

What about, "I like central love, neither East nor West"? Central love is best because it represents all parts of humanity and everyone can participate in it. What is central love? Central love always includes the vertical concept. Central love means it must be situated at all the same angles and be the same distance from every point.

Let's take the example of America. Which is the central city in America, Washington, DC or New York? Where does the President live and work? In Washington, DC, and the central point of Washington, DC is the White House. Is the house the center or is the President the center? The President is the center.

Clearly it's not the house that matters, but the central person who lives in that house. America has wealth and resources, but everything comes under one man or body of men. The one who loves America and the American heritage more than anyone else is the subject of America. The man who thinks about America's future the most is the center.

If the president has so much power that he could create a dictatorship, people would fear him and not want to follow him. Or if he has great ideas that can make everyone's life comfortable, people wouldn't want to follow that either because they would lose their sense of dignity and responsibility. What we want is not a president who puts intelligence, power or wealth as a first priority, but a president who puts true love in front of everything else.

What kind of father would you prefer: a great, almighty, millionaire father or an unconditionally loving father? You don't love me because of my power or because I have such an amiable character. You love me because I give you the kind of love and respect you need.

In a marriage, we all want a spouse who loves us beyond all conditions of education, money, or power. Even if the husband has a Harvard degree, when he is with his wife he simply wants to touch and love her. Simply as wife and husband, they just really love each other. Which would you prefer: the simple unconditional way or the conditional way?

If the husband has a big degree, does he think, "This hand belongs to a person who just graduated from Harvard. What a holy hand. Now I'm going to touch my beloved wife with my holy hand"? Is that genuine love? True love is when we forget our position and genuinely love. For the President of America to forget he is the President and just embrace his wife is not easy; but if he could do that, isn't that a great love?

Pursuing Central Love

It's your choice: Are you going to pursue big wealth, big power, big knowledge or big thought? Of these four, which is more valuable to you? (Thought!) What if we added one more choice to the list -- life -- which would you choose? (Life.) What if love were added, which would you choose? (True love!)

True love is none other than central, equal love. You have to be able to explain what true love is to others: "It's the central love which comes above money, power and even thought." Now we have some standard of comparison. With this choice of five things -- love, life, thought, power, money and knowledge -- everyone agrees that love is what we all want.

Then you might ask, "Well, where is that central love?" Does that central love come from your father and mother in your home? No. It may be that family's love, but it is not the central love of the chunju. Is it in New York or Washington, DC? The President has love for the country, but it cannot be central love if it doesn't encompass the chunju. Central love is not only the center of the family but the center of the clan, nation, world, cosmos and chunju. If we know this central love exists, would we say "No, I don't want that central love"? Everything wants to be a part of this central love.

Are you American citizens? Do you have America in you or do you belong to America? You must be able to say, "Yes, America is in me." But before you can say that, you need to have love toward America. Then you can say, "America is mine." Even America, the biggest country on the whole earth, wants to belong to somebody who truly loves America. This person doesn't have to be handsome, powerful and strong. Maybe he's a simple man possessing no special characteristics except his genuine love for America.

A loving person is the center of everything. If you were America, would you be happy to find that kind of person? Yes, you would feel comforted and even saved by knowing that person. Now we expand that Principle into a little larger category -- not only love for one country, but the world and the chunju. There have been people throughout history who have said, "Oh, I love the world and the universe." But is there any one person who actually loved the world through his actions? If there were indeed such a person, then every individual, family and country would want to belong under him, knowing he is the one who loves the most. Everyone wants to come under the king of love rather than to just belong to their own small country. Isn't that true?

Even the sun, which has been burning and shining for millions of years, has always been trying to find the one person who loves the universe so much. Someone will ask, "Now sun, since you have found the person who loves the universe, aren't you also happy?" He has to answer yes.

If a man says, "Universe, I'm madly in love with you and want to love you so much," how would the universe respond? What about a man with incredible power who conquered the whole universe? Which do you think the universe will come and embrace? The crazy lover, of course!

The conclusion is obvious: man has a certain characteristic even before he is born, which no one has to teach him. This is the ability to embrace greater things, even God and the chunju. The only way we can do that is through love. That's my conclusion. Is there anyone who will disagree with that, saying, "Father you're wrong. I have a better answer than that"?

SunMyungMoon-890730-2.jpg

Changing the World's Destiny

You love to hear about love from me. But who actually wants to exercise that love? Do you say, "Oh, I'll be content with this much love" or do you strive for more and more? You might say, "Oh, Father, you talk about love every Sunday morning -- I've heard that before. I already know everything now." If you think that, then you are not worthy of that love.

You may have heard the word "love" thousands of times, but do you know love? Do you have the taste of the kind of love I am talking about? Yes or no? If you haven't tasted it, what good will it do for you to hear the word "love" even a million times?

What I am trying to do is to bring everyone to the bucket of love so they can taste it. Once you taste it, you can never do without it. So all Americans, please try it, for if you don't follow this love, you will perish in the future.

Unless you taste this love and act on it, your destiny is miserable. If you hear it a thousand times and still cannot feel it, then you must entreat, "Father, tell me again about love," instead of complaining about having to listen to it again. You still don't understand the true love center concept -- you don't take it seriously. I was so serious about this in my past. You have to be dead serious about this way, not just analyzing everything trying to find an easy way out.

Your ears and eyes are ashamed of you, because you are hearing and receiving so much love, and yet are not aware of it. The world and the universe are calling you to give them love -- it's your responsibility. They want to be embraced by that true love.

I am giving you the warning that misery awaits you unless you take this reality seriously. Do we want to be with the one we love or an enemy? Our nose wants to smell the true love smell for eternity. Our hands want to touch our loved ones, not the enemy. So if you know someone who says, "Father, you're talking about love again?" then shake him up and protest to him strongly, "Do you know that love?" Only a truthful son of filial piety can respond to the truth. Satan will never come to love the truth.

Making True Love a Reality

Good parents start educating a young child from grammar school: "You have to study more." And then when he goes to middle school, the parent says, "Yes, this time you should become a better student." The parent does the same thing when the child goes to high school. And when he goes to college, the father and mother tell him the same thing: to study well. Even if he earns his Ph.D., his father and mother tell him to study better. That's the parents' heart to improve their children. And while the child is young, he keeps their advice seriously. But when he becomes a college graduate and his parents tell him to study more, will he say, "I am a college student now; don't tell me what to do"? That kind of person will never earn a Ph.D. Every Sunday morning I am trying to say the same thing about love from a different angle. So the person who asks me to talk about something else will never understand love.

There are degrees in love. You can have true love within your family, or you can have a higher level true love degree, until you reach a Ph.D. Now, people who haven't even heard Divine Principle are saying the one who professes and teaches true love is Reverend Moon! In the future, famous professors will ask you, "What is the true love concept? I am only doing research. You have listened to Rev. Moon explain it. Why can't you teach it to us?" How are you going to answer them? Will you be in a proud or shameful position?

Satan is waiting to infiltrate this greatest truth through the smallest opening. We know this by experience and by the Principle, don't we? So what little we know we must practice doing. I practiced everything and am now teaching you. If there is a Ph.D. degree that can be granted to any person about true love, I am the only person who qualifies for that. You are gradually learning from me. Until you reach that highest position, you must continue to exercise true love. Unless you do that, even though you may want to follow me, you will not be able to come.

A Time to Gain Life

You don't even know what I have been doing these last weeks and months. You don't know how serious I am, nor how physically hard I am laboring. Also you don't know how famous my name and the, Unification Church are becoming in the world. So this time with me is your time to gain life. Other people are all ears as to what I am saying and teaching my followers; therefore, we must be at least that serious.

Right before Danbury, Americans thought I was a sham. But now, many Americans have completely turned around and believe me to be a patriot who loves this country. Their feelings are even stronger than those that Unification Church members feel about me.

In a way it's good that you never changed, for you loved rather from the beginning. But you never realized how much other people in the world have changed. In our Church, do we really ask, "Father, please say something precious to us, just one more time?" Look at the rest of the world -- they want to see me just once. Do you know how serious these world leaders are? They ask me so seriously, "Rev. Moon what do you think about this?" Now I talk to you so freely for many hours every Sunday, but are you trying to inherit my tradition?

You should respect me more than a primary school teacher. Primary school students believe that the teacher knows everything. Inadvertently, you have taken me so casually. Did you ever keep your promises? You said, "Yes, Father" many times, but did you act on these promises and bring accomplishments? I am teaching while I am still doing. You are being taught and yet often never do anything with this teaching. Especially blessed couples must think about this. You must be humble, and ask to be taught about life and love.

Heart of the Vertical Parent

So my sermon is about the unification of the chunju. We don't know much about the spirit world, do we? But in order to understand the spirit world we have to understand love, otherwise the spirit world won't open up. Then what is the center of the chunju? The conclusion is almost deceptively simple. The center of the chunju is love; because of love, the chunju was created, and because of love, the chunju rejoices. Therefore, unless we understand love, we cannot connect with the chunju. So the question is, "Can the Unification Church contribute to the unification of the chunju?"

All four directions of north, south, east and west must be determined according to a standard. Unless the standard is very accurate, then these directions can never be accurate either. Where is the center? It is always at a 90 degree angle. When we see a well-constructed house, all the horizontal and vertical angles are 90 degrees. One of the first things we learn at school is how to use a 90 degree ruler. The principle of right angles applies not only to mathematics and engineering but to politics, social science, and all human relationships. But no one seems to know that. In America there are so many lawyers making use of the existing complicated laws. We could be liberated from fettering laws if we lived selflessly. The law actually originated from the human spirit. If we all become very humble and dedicate ourselves to living for the sake of other people, we can be liberated. The Unification Church teaching is the only way that man can be liberated for our motto is to live like a servant with the heart of a parent. Our work and deeds must be like that of a servant. We must not only serve but live with true love, touch with true love, judge with true love. We must serve horizontally with a strictly vertical parent's heart.

What is the meaning of filial sons and daughters? The filial son or daughter serves other brothers, sisters, father, mother, and all the relatives more than anyone else. It doesn't matter if you were born first, second or third. It is the one who serves the most over the longest period-10, 20, even 30 years. Eventually, everyone will follow this filial son or daughter. This person loves his brothers and sisters as deeply as the father and mother love the children. His position is both horizontal and vertical. This horizontal and vertical position becomes a standard around which everything rotates. This is the beauty and magic of true love. Once this is established, there is no longer low or high. No one will oppose this person for all will welcome that pattern of love. From this center position came the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 12, and 24. That is an ideal position. There are 12 months in a year, and 24 seasons in the lunar calendar. In the Bible, the 12 pearly gates of Heaven are mentioned. So God doesn't set the world up in a haphazard way. This is an important part of Principle. A very orderly system potentially exists, and only through true love is the order kept.

The True Love Angle

Why does true love have to stand at the 90 degree right angle to everything? Because love takes the shortest distance between two points. When we meet loved ones, we go straight to them and embrace them, don't we? Nobody wants slow love, but rather intense and explosive love.

Between heaven and earth, also in love, there is only one shortest distance -- the vertical line. Does love need one or two? (Two!) In order to pull love down from God, you have to widen it by expressing it horizontally to others. In order for love to come to u. fully, not just as a trickle, we have to deploy it. For example, waves move slowly up to a pinnacle, then come down with momentum and back up again. You have to pull love down. If you just let love come down at its own speed, it will waver. The earth has gravity which pulls straight down, right? That is a 90 degree right angle. So horizontal can never exist alone, but only in relation to vertical.

What about your eyes? They are horizontal, aren't they? They are next to the nose, which is vertical. When you say right hand it means a left hand exists. You never thought like this, did you? When you mention the word man, you automatically think about woman. Without this system, you cannot position yourself or anything else. You cannot measure the degree of height or depth without a standard. So this physical, visible world implies an invisible world. Vertical love doesn't exist alone, but must have horizontal love.

Where should we go if we expect to receive love from Heaven? We should travel the shortest distance, which is the horizontal line. By the same reasoning, if you desire to receive America's greatest love then you have to visit the White House where the President resides -- that is the short cut. The same principle exists on every level -- world, country, state, county, even the village and home -- all have this relationship with the center. When you go home, you want to connect directly with your father and report everything to him. The son wants to discuss everything with the father. Brothers and sisters often fight but when they can't resolve their fight, they come to their parents wanting them to judge the situation. Why don't they go to someone else, like an uncle or aunt? Because they want to be judged by love and the direct source of love in the family is the parents. Everyone wants to be judged by love -- in the family, in the society, country, and chunju as well. It is like a court system, where you can go to a higher and higher court to be judged, until you reach the Supreme Court. When the Supreme Court rules, that is the final decision. The other rules don't matter. Everybody wants to go to the highest place to be judged. Therefore, this heavenly judgment surpasses all the other judgments.

True Love Is Our Destiny

So filial sons, patriots, and holy men all have something in common, though they differ in degree. The filial son may belong to one family, but the patriot belongs to a country, while the holy man holds the highest degree. The point they hold in common is that they all are centered on love. As for us, true love is our destiny anyway. But where are we going to belong? Will we be just a filial son, holy man or one of the five degrees in between? Of course we would want to be the holy man. His qualification is that he loves God and the chunju the most: God vertically, and humanity horizontally.

All aspects of vertical, horizontal, internal and external will be united into one true love concept. When you really understand my teaching, then if you go to some new environment, you can comprehend everything in just a minute or two. This formula is the base of everything in the chunju. How do you know God exists? The fact that there is an intense horizontal love between man and woman proves that there should be a corresponding vertical love. So although you can't see God, you can understand His existence logically. In conclusion, God is the master of their vertical love, and man and woman are the masters of their horizontal love.

Now, at the end of the world, our ideology is worldism. Actually, religious people think even bigger than that, to include the invisible world which is "cosmicism." So I created just the right word for this: chunju. The chunju resembles man. The world is revolving constantly, but if I were to revolve like this all by myself, people would say I am crazy. Similarly if the chunju revolved with no purpose, it would be crazy. There must always be a subject and object relationship. Today, the scientists agree that the cosmos has power but they don't know where the power comes from. Power only comes from the interaction of a subject and an object.

If we realize there is a subject and object relationship, then there must be a common ideal or goal. The most ideal common goal is true love. The realization of a common ideal must emit light. What about the thunder and lightning on a rainy day? What about electricity? When it sparks it gives out light. That is an expression of a common ideal between subject and object. The ideal is a reciprocal action. When there is a man, there must be a woman. And when they are in love and acting according to a common ideal, no matter how many powerful people try to separate them, they cannot. That is why everything is created with a male and female element. We came into being with a specific, concrete purpose in mind: God's will. Man is born for the sake of woman, and vice-verse. The balance of nature keeps the numbers of men and women almost the same.

Where do a man and a woman meet? If a woman has to go all the way over to the man's side, she would call it unfair. It is the same for a man. So they meet in between, united in love. The woman may be humble and modest, and the man will be forthright and astute, like God himself. They should not be exactly like each other. A man represents all men, and a woman represents all women. They are born for the sake of love. It is a simple but important conclusion. Does anybody have a complaint or disagreement about this?

Occupying God's Love

Is ideal horizontal love existing in America? Many people are ignoring the most basic principle of why men and women are born. There is one horizontal line in God's ideal, not many. Free sex just doesn't fit in. Love is great because perfection of horizontal love is how we can occupy God's vertical love.

Which one should come first and which second? Until now we reversed the true sequence. But we have to experience vertical love first. After that, a man and woman should experience horizontal love. Marriage is such a happy and serious occasion because man has fulfilled his manhood and is about to occupy the woman's world and afterwards the universe. Then this man will be welcomed by every level of society up through the cosmic level. A woman gets married so that she will be able to love the whole universe, rather than being confined to just womanhood.

When you are ideally in love, standing where the horizontal and vertical lines meet, then you are welcomed everywhere. You are the master of the universe. A true man and a true woman are so magnificent, representing the entire universe. And we must understand that married life is to realize the ideal world. Instead, what is being practiced by the fallen world, due to ignorance, is like Satan's dance floor with the love relationships following no principle. In the Unification Church men and women have been rather strictly disciplined, until the right time. Women, before they know a man's love, must know God's vertical love. The origin of vertical love is God, and the origin of horizontal love is parents. God and True Parents are connected by true love, thus True Parents inherited God's blood lineage. Our mind represents this vertical relationship, and our body represents the horizontal relationship. Since you now have both sets of parents, God and the horizontal Parents, we have inherited God's blood lineage for the first time. This was the original ideal of creation. If mankind's ancestors didn't fall, everyone born after their wedding would have been connected to the vertical God and the horizontal parents.

The mind never sleeps, just like God. God is meant to be so close to us. Your mind wants to be just and righteous, but your body is not, therefore mind and body fight each other. The mind is not even perfect, so we experience lots of problems. Your mind, your vertical self, should be the perfect reflection of God through which you inherit God's blood lineage. If you don't have that lineage, then love and life are not possible. Instead, you have Satan's blood lineage. Satan is God's love enemy. If the fall hadn't taken place, I wouldn't have to teach you anything for we would inherit everything from our vertical and horizontal parents at our birth.

God's Legitimate Child

Do you love yourself? You love yourself, but is it from a true perspective? A man should truly love himself before he loves a woman. He has to become absolutely confident that he can represent entire manhood, and then he is qualified to love a woman. You have to understand God first, and representing God, be ready to love your spouse and the entire universe with the confidence you have to love yourself. But before you are legitimate you have to inherit God's love. If you don't know God, and just blindly love yourself, what value does that have? Love gives us the right to inherit everything as God's child. Also, love gives the right to be equal with your spouse and even with God.

Another attribute of love is the desire for ownership. So a victorious man and woman have a happy life on earth with lots of children, and then, when they get old, they want to go sightseeing around the world. They want to go hand in hand not by themselves, but also with their loving sons and daughters. This is perfectly legitimate. But before you love your own smaller family, you have to love the universe. Few people really understand my life. I loved everything, except I did not show my love for my own children and family. But after loving everything and everyone, then I can come back and start loving my family. So if you see me start to love my own family, what will you say? Will you say, "Father, what about us, the members?" or "Yes, Father, you have been away from your family for so long, please spend time with them"? After seeing how much I loved other people first, wouldn't you allow me to love the family realm?

From now on, I may say, "Go out and save America before you come and visit me." Then, when I receive you, you will be representing the world, and not just an individual. That individual time is long gone.

I spoke often enough to create 200 volumes of published books. Every word that I spoke is a standard. Only those who meet those standards will pass. And if I were asked to condense all 200 volumes of teaching, I would say that I condensed it all here, in this morning's sermon. So this true love concept is the root of the cosmos.

Teaching: Our Crucial Responsibility

The Unification Church has three different generations, representing the Old, New and Completed Testament Ages. A blessed children's 21-day training session just ended recently, so now they should be able to realize how wrong a direction the world is going in and what is the right way.

Until you ask me for concrete guidance as to how to live righteously and fulfill the responsibility of leading other people, you will continue to be tied to the satanic world. I have already predicted that America will perish unless Unification Church members work very hard. Because only you can teach them in time, it is your responsibility to teach America the correct way of living just as you have been taught. The communist world as well will perish without you teaching them what you have learned. An interesting thing in Korea is many people are saying, "Yes, indeed, Korea is in trouble. But we trust you, Rev. Moon, and the Unification Church, so we don't really worry about it."

It is our blessed couples' responsibility to raise the new third generation. The criteria of judgment in the future will be how you have been teaching your family members. Education happens not only at school. Parents should educate their children and represent God in that family.

How can we realize the ideal chunju? Man must have the correct love for God, parents, and the whole universe first, then he can love the smaller levels, including himself. Such is the nuclei (new clay) of the element for the unification of the whole cosmos, including spirit world. He will become an eternal friend of the cosmos, eternally free, happy and secure. Love wants to be everlasting and unchanging. What does God do every day? Is He proud because He has a lot of power, material and knowledge? No! God too wants to be in love, like we want to be in love in the family. God lost all his objects of love to Satan. This is why God is so agonized, and why I said, "Let us liberate God from His misery." The only way to do that is to return to God and then liberate God. American young people have never seen true love parents, true teachers, or true leaders.

Savior of Love

So we need a savior of love. Now in the free world many people want to get guidance from Rev. Moon. The communist world and the religious world have tried everything, but reached a deadlock. Now they look to Rev. Moon for solutions. Even God wants to hold onto Rev. Moon and say, "My son, you must do something, otherwise the whole world will never be liberated from Satan." How about the Unification Church members? Do you really want to cling onto me, minute by minute, every season of the year, feeling that only through me there is hope and solutions to your problems?

If you really feel that, you pass Heaven's test. But do you really deserve 100 percent on the test? Every one of us wants such a high mark, but perhaps only one or two in the whole class can get that percentile. That is why we have to try hard. Those who already have families, even though they are blessed families, have a more difficult time receiving a 100 percentile mark. A single person may be able to achieve that. But do you couples love your Father more deeply than you love your spouse? It is the most serious question.

I passed this test, giving everything -- self, family, resources -- to save the world. Think about how serious I have been throughout my lifetime, constantly sacrificing to move God's providence ahead. When did you indemnify your individual foundation? What about the family, societal, nation, world, and cosmic foundation? Did you pass each level? I chased Satan out of each of these levels. Can you make that kind of foundation in your surrounding environment? Not by trying to occupy a safe or comfortable place, but only by aggressively following Father's way. Otherwise you cannot save your life.

The conclusion becomes evident. Who must achieve the unification of the chunju? I did my portion, so now the blessed couples, united together, must achieve this. Is this an easy or difficult way? I always chose the most difficult way, because that is the only way to central love.

From this time on, we need to reexamine our daily life. Have I really loved my family in the dispensational way? Look at our community areas and ask, "Have I really loved this neighborhood, town and state?"

America's True Patriot

During a part of my 18 years of life here in America, I proclaimed to every region of America, "I love America the most, more than any patriot ever loved this country." I actually lived that way, too, and until this day, I am still doing that. I did a 40-day tour of every state in America, promising to love this country, and I kept that promise, even more than 100 percent. So we too must begin to love America. Is this a peaceful country? No, we cannot have a good night's sleep with what goes on in this country. American young people are destroying themselves with drugs and alcohol. We must experience the savior's heart as we look at the people in the streets. Not knowing God's way, they are slaves of Satan. Seeing that, a savior's heart really aches and cries. The most serious problem is this fast declining and decaying America. To make it live again should be more serious than worrying about my own husband or wife. I pursued the most miserable, heavy course to save you. How can you sleep, eat and go comfortably through life?

God's situation is the same -- He is staying on this sinking ship in order to save humanity. Who can save this universe? Mankind cannot do it, and even God Himself cannot do that. God needs an instrument -- the savior. I knew God's situation, so I invested everything in this mission. I could never show any frustration. Who here has fulfilled in this way?

You should be sure to understand everything I have explained about the original way of life and realize that there is still a lot of work ahead of us. It is very challenging and serious, but so clear what you have to do. Historically this is the one time to build God's ideal, and then it will continue for eternity. I may seem completely crazy to live this way, and maybe you are half crazy, too. But we are proud of this way of life, aren't we? It is an incredible thing to save the whole world.

We have to look at the world with a big perspective. Think, "If I make a lot of results I am freeing Father from this burden." When you become filial sons and daughters, I will be in ecstasy. America is your portion. My area of responsibility is the world. I am not asking you to save the world, but to tend to America. America is your responsibility.

Many people will compete to teach the Principle in the future. Where will our position be? All you will have do at that time is to stand firm on the tradition of blessed couples and live with authority. That is what the Unification Church is preparing us to do. Already, that time is near. When that time comes, everything will be finished. So now is a good time to fulfill as much as possible.

If I invested the same effort in China that I did in America, the Chinese would have accepted me more quickly. I favor the Western world for taking the responsibility to save mankind, but continually the Western world has been persecuting me.

Invest In Your Messiahship

So I am asking you to really invest in your tribal messiahship activity. Until now it has been the providence of brotherhood. From now, it is the providential age of parents. I have sent out 24,000 blessed couples, and the satanic world has no grounds to oppose us anymore. Blessed couples are standing in the same position as Jesus did 2,000 years ago at the threshold of tribal messiahship. A tribal messiah is in the New Testament position. So, your own parents will represent Adam's family position. I am representing the Completed Testament position. So there are three generations. This is a new time where we can organize horizontally what has been already vertically accomplished: Adam, Jesus and the Completed Testament positions.

This world is so complicated and has lost its real purpose. True Parents have been making preparations to save the world, which is the work of the Unification Church. Now, all the people will have to do is follow us, taking the easy way.

So let us fulfill our responsibility and pledge to unite with True Parents. Although the road is rough, let us attend True Parents here on earth and even into the spirit world. Let's follow heavenly tradition and grow into one. Be successful in tribal messiahship, with the same determination that Jesus had. Let us pray.
