True
Parent's Special Dinner with African Religious Leaders

The
beginning of Christianity was in Europe, but Christians definitely did not
understand God's providence.
That is how Christians are today: They say "God help me. Let my son, those
in my family, do well in school, help me be better ..."
In this way, they pray only self-centered prayers. That comes from not
understanding Heaven's Providence.
Without anyone understanding the essence of why Jesus came.
Christians
have held on, waiting with the faith that he would soon come because Jesus said
he would return.
After two thousand years have passed, that communism came out of the Christian
cultural sphere is shocking.
Christianityfs
course includes many mistakes. Manmade systems and rules restricted Christians,
which is why religious revolution took place.
A new religious movement came, changing from era in which only high members of
clergy could read the Bible
to the which King James had the Bible retranslated into English and the general
population could read the Bible.
Therefore
when we look specifically at Africa, Christianity spread through Europe and
then to Africa and the rest of the world.
Similar to what the Bible says, "The first, Europe, shall be last and the
last, Africa, shall be first. "Did you know this is that time?
I have toured Africa many times, and in the beginning, it was very difficult.
However, I love all of you.
True
Parent's and Heavenly Parent's dream is one human family. Due to the fall of
human beings, however, humankind could not approach God. Why?
Because indemnity remained. I said this the other day: Only through the
perfected True Parents can you approach God and that means through the
blessing.
Change of lineage! That is why blessed families are so precious.
Jesus
could enter only Paradise because he was unable to form his own family. Heaven
is a place families enter.
For two thousand years, there were many members of the clergy and many people
of good faith, but their Lineage was unchanged.
That is why no one has gone to heaven. Only through the True Parents can you
receive a new linage, one unconnected to Satan.
The condition for that is the blessing.
Therefore,
we, in FFWPU, go beyond religion, race, and borders, and we stress the
importance of the blessing because we must forge a path forward as God's
children.
Through Christian culture began in Europe, Christians were unable to put true
love into practice, live for the sake of others, because they did not know the
entire providence.
I am
saying that Christianity began in love but Christians were unaware of what the
nature of that love was. So in the end, the development of the Atlantic
Civilization
Did not lead to living for the sake of the occupied nations, but instead took
away the culture of those nations.
Many
cultural artifacts from all over the world are on display at the "British"
Museum. That is not true love. Yet the Pacific Civilization, which began
centered on True Parents,
Will go out to the world with true love. True love!
People have been unfilial toward Heaven for the past six thousand years. From God, hurt and in pain, we have been asking for things. No one among humankind said he or she would work to realize God's dream.
Yet it is
only through True Parents, that true families learn. Blessed families have
overcome all hardships and are now fully striving to fulfill Heavenly Parent's
and True Parent's dream.
We must realize the substantial kingdom of heaven on earth. God is the Creator.
He is the owner. All the divided nations in the world believe the world is
theirs, but all things must be returned to Heaven.
They must be returned to Heaven and be redistributed through True Parents.
With that heart, I hope you will be able to take responsibility for Africa. That is why Africa is blessed
