Azalea Festival
Cheongpyeong, Korea
March(2) 15, H.C.
NOTE: These notes are taken from a Peace TV video clip. They
cannot be published as definitive texts and should never be used in
the future as an "official" publication of True Father's
words. However, they do provide a good idea of the "spirit"
of the message. - Rev. Katsumi Kambashi
Father started his speech at the festival as
follows:"The issue after the fall is 'Which comes first,
truth or substance?' Since substance was lost, God conducted
through the truth, the providence of salvation, which is the
providence of restoration.""What is the providence
of restoration? That means, what is 조국광복
(restoration of God's fatherland)? It is 'to see
the light again.'"
"Until now, the Realm
of the Cosmic Sabbath (천주
안식권) hasn't been realized.
For me to realize it, it has been 말씀
(truth) that I put emphasis on. What is precious
among the truth is 천지인
(Heaven, Earth, and Humankind)."
"The
important thing is the time when the Creator Who can become
the Owner of the cosmos and the owner who can become the
center appear."
"In the Garden of Eden,
God called Adam, Eve, and the Archangel, and said, 'When you
eat the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil,
you will surely die.' What is the fruit of the tree of the
knowledge of good and evil? Which comes first, the fruit of
the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, religion or the
kingdom of heaven? Which comes first? You must think about it
again. Which comes first, the fruit of the tree of the
knowledge of good and evil, religion or the world? When one
eats the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil
and ruin themselves, the world will be gone."
"Because
of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil,
God came to appear, True Parents came to appear, false parents
came to appear and the Garden of Eden appeared." (선악과
때문에 하나님도 나오기
시작했고, 참부모도
나오기 시작했고,
거짓부모도
나오기 시작했고,
에덴동산이라는
것이 나왔습니다.)
"You
must keep in mind 'God's fatherland on earth' and hope to see
the light on it again." (이
땅 위에 조국광복이라는
것을 마음에 둬가지고
조국 위에 다시 빛을
바래야 됩니다.)
"Those
who are here are the descendants who were born from the sperm
and egg, which existed before the fall, through the unity of
Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother? Or are you the
descendants of the fall who were born after Adam and Eve ate
the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil? When
you are asked such questions, your answer must be that you are
from the Marriage Blessing of the sperm of the Heavenly Father
and the egg of the Heavenly Mother which existed before Adam
and Eve ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and
evil.'"
"When you eat the fruit of the
tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you will die. The
fruit comes in the first place, and the world where people
practice that fundamental principle and don't eat it should
have been realized."
"The blood and flesh
of the blood lineage and tradition of the fall has been
tangled and boiled, and spread from Adam's family like water
that overflowed from an exploded jar. Before going over all
the eight stages such as individual, familial, tribal, racial,
national, worldwide, or cosmic levels, the world of the Garden
of Eden where God didn't want them to eat the fruit of the
tree of the knowledge of good and evil has never appeared in
the process of history. Where is the person that can make it
happen and explain it by opening the door and changing the
names? Not in a family. It is one individual, Rev. Moon, a man
that is standing here. It is Yong Myung Moon. There is nobody
who can reveal the fundamentals of history more than I
do."
Then Father spoke for about two hours
putting an emphasis on the practice of the truth. Father
concluded his speech talking about forsythia, azalea, royal
azalea, and rose of Sharon.
