Each person has his native motherland. What is it that causes
people to love their motherlands? Each person has an accumulation of
memories and historical events that happened in his life within his
motherland. These past events are connected directly with where he is
in the present. Each person looks toward the future on the foundation
of his own history. A person might be the citizen of a first-rate,
leading country in the world or a country that is just developing. If a
person has lived with a certain pride or ideal, he will wish to expand
that within an even more prosperous and proud future.
Ultimately the ancestry of all mankind is from the same source, not
many different ones. What was the homeland of that original source?
According to the Bible, the first human ancestors were able to talk
person-to-person with God. So we can say that God was residing within
that first motherland of our human ancestors. What was that country
like where God resided? That country was to be the motherland for all
the descendants in the future.
What was the history of that first motherland? Certainly, God
Himself was directly connected with that land. That was an ideal time,
a time when no such thing as a fall had occurred. Everything there was
ideal-ideal man and woman, ideal heart, ideal love. One characteristic
of the ideal is that it will not decline; it may follow a curve, but it
is always moving upward and getting better.
All cultures have a language at their center. What was that
original language of the ideal world? The ideal language developed out
of the ideal thought of man. The source of the ideal thought was God,
the true subject of mankind. If we asked every person here whom he
would like his ultimate subject to be, everyone would choose God even
though everyone comes out of a fallen ancestry. Although everyone
wishes to be in that subject-object relationship with God, He is not so
easily found. He is invisible and people usually don't know how to go
about finding Him.
Let us consider an example. Perhaps a woman is seeking a
relationship with God but realizes that God is invisible and
intangible. She would ask, "Is there anyone on earth who can be
the visible representation of God for me, in whom I can trust?"
She feels that she needs a man to closely connect with in a
subject/object relationship and that person needs to be someone who
closely represents God. In other words, for her, having the
relationship with that person is having a relationship with God.
A man, too. will seek out such a relationship with a woman for the
purpose of finding God. Once a man and woman find each other. do they
just sit down and look at each other? Would they be happy just
looking at each other for eternity? Wouldn't each of them want to hear
the other saying that their relationship was the most wonderful
thing that could ever happen in the past, present or the future? This
would certainly be pleasing to both a woman and a man.
If you ask a man what he needs, he would say, "I need a woman
who appreciates me the most." What is that appreciation normally
centered upon? Is it because that person studies a lot, speaks well, or
does something else well? When you laugh. it is focused on something.
What makes you laugh the loudest and best? The answer to our question
is love. Love is eternally "the most." If you were totally
enjoying a delicious meal but someone gave you the option of giving it
up for the sake of an eternal love relationship, you wouldn't hesitate
to choose love over the food. Every person would do the same. God
Himself likes strong, long-lasting love. He has created everything on
the earth and He has the power to do anything, except for one thing-He
cannot create love for Himself without an object. Just as a man
needs a woman's love and vice-versa, God needs love.
Are the loves which a man, a woman, and God are seeking all
different experiences or are they the same love? They are the same.
Then why does God exist? What does God live for? We can name three
elements which we all live for-joy, hope, and love. Among these,
love is the center. Joy and hope themselves spring from love.
We were speaking of the original homeland. God's homeland is the
place in which He experienced His first love-with mankind. But since
the fall, there has been no time and no place in which God could
settle Himself on the earth. There has been no time when God has
settled down with love. Furthermore it follows that God has no
culture, no language or developed thought through which He could
express Himself on the earth. In other words, there has never been a
culture which developed out of God's love.
Where did the thought of mankind originate from the very beginning?
We can clearly see that language and culture were developed out of
sources which had nothing to do with the love of God. Therefore, what
is the quality of the cultures, languages and thoughts of the fallen
world compared with the unfallen, Godly world? All people are yearning
to hear just one word which God uttered in His love for mankind.
Religion has been playing the role of bringing people back to the
culture where they should have originated. Since this is the ideal
function of religion, the Unification Church has the same
ideal-bringing people of today back into that original thought,
language, and culture of God's ideal. Until now God has been in the
position of being forced to live according to something other than His
original purpose. He has been trying to mend or repair people back
into their original state. When man changes constantly
God has to change His response constantly: otherwise. He cannot
focus on man. If His unwavering position as a Being of total goodness
was to say, "Anybody who doesn't come to Me is not worthy of
Me," nobody would have any relationship with Him. He has been
forced to follow and search for people. After the fall. God has been
following man into whatever places he has gone, no matter how dirty or
miserable man has been. God had to follow people to educate them and
bring them back to Him. In history there has been no time in which man
followed God long enough to get back to Him.
What about you? Do you follow God or must God still follow after
you? One thing is certain-you are not too confident in your answers!
You may say you are following after God but that may be only as long as
it suits you. What would you like to do in the future-continue to force
God to follow you, or would you like to use your knowledge to follow
God? We have learned that fallen man cannot follow God, no matter how
strongly he might desire, without a condition. He cannot just say,
"OK. I will now follow God," and then just do it with ease.
That necessary condition is what we call the indemnity condition. Do
you like indemnity conditions? Nobody does, including me. However, this
is the law and we cannot avoid it.
Indemnity is not the subject of my sermon this morning, but it is
important to mention it. What kind of a God do we really want to
follow after-the God of indemnity and restoration? No, we would like to
be able to follow God in His original situation, the true God. In order
to be His true self, He must have a true object with whom He can
exchange true love. As long as He does not have that object, God can
never be fulfilled the way He should.
Before God can be fulfilled, He needs True Parents on the earth.
That is reasonable because out of the True Parents the true family will
emerge. Where is God's motherland, then? It is the same as the land of
the True Parents and their family-where they are, God is. What about
the True Parents' motherland? For the True Parents, the place where God
and the children are is their motherland-where they can exchange love
with their subject and with their object. Likewise the motherland for
the children is where God is and where the parents are.
The simple term we use to describe this is the four position
foundation. The ideal motherland is where this true four position
foundation is to be found. We can call it the true motherland because
it is where all the elements of love can be found and it is the point
where that love can be disseminated to the entire world. You may have
only understood the four position foundation as a concept, but it has
this deep meaning. It is immediately related to the motherland where
God dwells within the ideal.
If you were asked where you would like to go, wouldn't
want to go to that original motherland? Within that motherland you
can find God, True Parents. and the true children but you must be able
to communicate with them through language. Can you go there and
declare, "I am American! I can speak only English!"? That
would certainly be out of place. Will you say, "Since America
is the number one country, the True Parents must learn English or
else there will not be a Kingdom of Heaven."?
If there had been just the one, original language, no one would be
speaking English or Korean now, just that one language. The original
language was the result of God's thought being uttered on earth. People
would have spread it over all the earth and all the descendants of
humanity would have used the same language. Would you like to learn
that original language?
It so happened that the True Parents came to a particular country
and that country happened to speak a language called Korean, so God had
to express His love to mankind through that language. In other words,
God had to adapt to that situation. He developed His four position
foundation and expressed His love in that way, with the background of
that particular language. Therefore anyone who wants to learn deeply
about these important things has to understand the particular language
which is being used, which happens to be Korean. Because of all these
circumstances, we say that Korean is the native language, the original
language.
If God talks to you does He want to use an interpreter or wouldn't
He want to speak directly to you? Did Adam and Eve need an interpreter
to talk to God? This is the reason why, even if I were to tell you not
to learn Korean, you could not help but learn it. Regardless of race,
whether you are black, white, or yellow, if you speak Korean you are
all of the same race. That is because you are speaking the native
language. But look at you now: you speak one language, I speak a
different one and what a big barrier separates us because of that! You
should be the ones taking the time and the pains to be learning Korean
but it is I who am working to learn English. Some of you have even said
that Korean is too difficult for you to ever learn! However, I have
thought about it and I think that Korean ought to be the hardest
language for people to learn, since most important things are hard to
acquire. Isn't that true?
If someone speaks Korean well, he will probably also speak a second
language well. Korean has the richest variety of adjectives, with many
different degrees of meaning. In describing a color, Korean has a total
spectrum of words to choose from. Compared to a Japanese person, a
Korean who speaks English usually speaks it better because Korean
contains within it the aptitude for learning all other languages rather
deeply. Wherever they may be, Koreans can quickly learn the language.
What shame you will have if you go to spirit world and never had
any experience on earth of speaking to True Parents directly in the
native language. If God asks you what language you spoke on earth,
would you be proud to answer, "English was my only
language."? English is not the original language. Whatever is not
the original language is a deviated language.
What is the restored language? It can only be that language which
is used by the True Parents. This is because that language is the one
which is used to relate with all people who are fallen and restore them
back to their original state. Therefore, your ancestry in spirit world
will blame you if you don't learn to speak that original language while
on the earth. If you just stay with your old language, you will
definitely be blamed in spirit world. So are you going to learn Korean
now? Or are you going to say, "I hate to have to learn Korean' I
just want to use English!"? Once a person understands clearly that
he needs to do something, then he no longer needs someone else to
compel him to do it.
Even the greatest genius cannot translate from Korean to English
100%, perfectly. At the very most, 70% of the meaning can be conveyed
through translation. I am confident that I could draw you right into
the realm of the Heart of God if we spoke the same language-if either
you spoke Korean or I spoke English. If I had come to this country at
the age of 30. I could have quickly learned English, but for me to
learn English at my age and under my circumstances now is not so
likely. I must try ten times harder than I would have earlier in life.
Therefore, you cannot say at your younger age that Korean is too
difficult for you!
When the time for matching and blessing came, many of you wanted to
receive Korean spouses. I asked myself why that was, then I thought
maybe it was because you wanted to be able to communicate with me
through your spouse-at least he or she can speak my language! I have
encouraged all of you married to Koreans to speak Korean with each
other. When such a thing happens, other people who are ignorant of our
movement will see that we are very different, unusual. Those of you who
feel the need to learn Korean, please raise your hands. If I yelled at
you and said, "Forget about it. You will never learn Korean.' what
would you say? Even if I did everything I could to prevent you from
learning Korean. if you would still try to learn it, raise your hands.
I will watch and see. How long will it take you to learn, all your
life? How much time should I give you? You say three years, so from
19851 will stop using an interpreter whenever I speak to you. I will
speak only Korean, so it will just be too bad for those who don't
understand Korean.
With this basis of unity, the world cannot avoid coming into unity.
When you come to think of it, I never before spoke so strongly about
your learning Korean. During the last ten years I never urged you in
this way, yet still American people can see that we are very different
and now they will say, 'They are creating their own unique
culture!" The persecution against me would have been three times
greater if I had said these things ten years ago. However, since there
is nothing I am not blamed for at this point, I have nothing to lose by
saying these things!
We are becoming one race, the original love race. Those of you who
think I am illogical about your learning Korean, please raise your
hands. Since you haven't raised your hands, you are saying that it is a
reasonable and good thing I am urging you to do. However, tell me now
that you don't follow my logic if you are not convinced.
Everything must stand to reason or else it cannot last. Everything
we are teaching is according to reason or logic so no one can
rightfully protest against our truthfulness. Imagine if you came to
Korea and were able to speak Korean better than the people
there. Can you imagine the response? Their eyes would pop open in
admiration!
Without doubt America is the most materially advanced
country in the world. Yet we cannot be comfortable saying that America
is spiritually advanced; in fact, America is a most undeveloped
country, spiritually speaking. Would you like to see America become
spiritually developed? You should be proud of learning Korean because
Korea is the most spiritually developed country. Although you are
already in your twenties and thirties and therefore it may be difficult
for you to learn Korean, you can encourage your blessed children to
learn it and they can do it much more easily. You should teach your
children to call you Abba and Omma, their father and mother.
Have you gained now some perspective in your heart, not just your
mind, about why you and your children must learn Korean? Do you think
it is possible to do? You must understand that as soon as the
Unification thought is spread over the world, you Americans who have
been in the movement for ten or twenty years and yet don't speak
the Korean language will feel outside of the true realm of
heart. Language is very important. In order to develop your heart.
you must speak the same language as the one you are learning from. This
will require a burden of additional work for you, without a doubt.
When Unificationism is being lectured in Korea, I will not allow
any interpreters to be employed. Why should the lectures be translated
when they are speaking in Korea? Will you call me a
"dictator" because I am saying that the original language
must be used to express the original thought?
So far I have spent over one hour just explaining why it is so
Important for you to learn Korean. In many churches,
no minister is tolerated who gives sermons that last longer than
forty-five minutes! Yet I have already spoken for one hour and fifteen
minutes and I am just beginning the sermon! The only reason why you
accept and even welcome such sermons is that you are crazy-love crazy,
and that is a good thing, not a bad thing. Love craziness is something
which the universe welcomes-it's the only kind of craziness that is
good and healthy. A love sermon could last forever and the universe
wouldn't object.
If someone asked you to write about yourself, you would write down
where and when you were born and what you have done in the course of
your life. All of us were born within this century but every one of us
comes from different places. Everyone has done different things in his
life. How can people of such diverse backgrounds come into unity with
each other? When people begin to work toward the same objective or
goal. regardless of their backgrounds, they begin to have the same
focus and gain unity with each other. What is the best objective toward
which people could be working? Certainly it is true love- not only in
the present but also in the past and future.
God is the subject of true love so God's goal is to find only true
love. Unless God has a foundation of true love in the past, present and
future, He has no avenue upon which to travel. Can you think of any
human ancestor who has lived with perfect true love in the past? Is
there such an ancestor in America? In the earliest days of America's
settling, there were more native people here than immigrants. Those
native Americans are called Indians. They spoke their own languages,
which were the original "American languages." Today the
language of English has taken over and the Indian people have been
scattered and their numbers diminished. Who caused that? They never
died because of sickness or natural causes but at the hands of the
white American immigrants. Those original American natives had lived
and multiplied for thousands of years here but within the past four
hundred years they have become almost extinct.
A country without a foundation of love is not a good country. It
must be a love which is good enough for God to dwell within and feel
free in. A country without a foundation of love cannot prosper forever.
At the last days, they will be faced with challenges they cannot
overcome. When many signs point to America's decline, that is a sure
sign of the last days. Since this country's history began with
bloodshed, it could possibly end in bloodshed-perhaps a racial conflict
instigated by communists. Communism exploits the differences and
tensions between the races.
At this point in history, Reverend Moon has come with the mission
of preventing such a convict and making peace between the races. The
best way to accomplish this is to inspire white people to humble
themselves voluntarily
and serve people of other races. Many people have seen the value in
such a thing but no one before has been able to inspire such an
activity on a large scale. Reverend Moon has been able to teach these
things for the first time in the history of America, and for the first
time it is becoming a reality.
Each day contains daylight and darkness. Likewise the races of
black and white correspond with and complement each other; they should
not conflict with each other. Any painting contains contrasting hues of
lightness and darkness on a canvas. Is it true that all white people
only enjoy daytime and never enjoy the night time ? Do black people
only enjoy night time and hate the daylight? Certainly not. It is a
universal law that night follows day and day follows night-this cycle
is natural. When there are cows of different colors eating in a
meadow' do the white cows only eat side by side with other white cows?
They never notice each others' colors.
Dogs have very distinctive coloring and shapes. For instance, there
are black Dobermans, white poodles. and brown German Shepherds. Yet
with all their external differences, do they ever show signs of
''racial discrimination" against each other? However, people are
very different. Animals do not hesitate to mate, even if their mates
are a different color. Often black people will say that they would not
object to marrying a white person; however, what do most white people
think about that? Many white people are opposed to marrying a black
person. Why is that? Such discrimination is not natural.
Black people have great beauty and value. If science was
able to make black people turn white, most black people would resist
and say that they wanted to remain black. If you think about it, why
should there be such deep differences between people just because their
skin colors are different? The brown cow doesn't resent the white cow
or vice versa, so why do people resent each other? There arc day and
night and the four different seasons of the year. Natural differences
should never be the cause of conflict.
How can God and the vast race of mankind be connected at this time?
It is only through true love. What power does true love have? How can
unity come about through true love? The essential quality within true
love is that it gives a person the power to love his enemy. There is
plenty of love to be found in the fallen, secular world and sometimes
it is very hard to distinguish between Godly love and satanic love.
They are almost completely alike- unless you have the framework of
right philosophy, you cannot tell the difference. The biggest
difference is that God's love has the power to love one's enemies while
satanic love has absolutely no such power. The only way of dealing with
enemies from the satanic point of view is to hate and even to kill
them. God's love uses no coercion but
always waits until a person can be moved on his own to do the right
thing. God's love requires great patience: God has had a miserably long
wait for man. God's love has the goal of establishing God's
headquarters inside the very heart of the enemy's land. This concept
alone is very revolutionary to most people. but the Unification Church
has been not only speaking of the idea but also putting it into
practice-not just on the individual level but on the world level as
well.
As people have spread around the earth they have spread their
conflicts all the way to the world level. World War II was an example
of this type of conflict. That was the last physical war between
people-with weapons-on the world level. At this time. people understand
that the entire human population might be damaged or destroyed if we
fight another world war. That knowledge has become common. Why was
World War II the last physical war? Adam and Eve and the archangel were
the only beings in the Garden of Eden-God sowed those seeds of history.
They fell away from God and the result was that they began to fight
with each other. Adam and Eve fought with each other and the archangel
became an enemy of God-conflict and contradiction became common between
everyone.
An Adam-block of nations, an Eve-block of nations and an
archangel-block have come to exist under the secular realm, the satanic
domain. What was sown at the time of the original Adam and Eve and
archangel has come to be harvested in this way. According to the law of
restoration, the same pattern must exist, regardless of the size it
takes, in order for the original mistake to be indemnified and
restored. Centering upon England, the pattern took shape. England was
in Eve's position; America was born out of England. France was in the
archangel's position; it is very different from either England or
America. Both America and England have the same language and similar
cultures, while France is entirely different. But by joining on the
Heavenly side, they eventually came into unity with the Adam country,
America, and the Eve country, England.
The Eve nation of the satanic countries was Japan; Japan is
certainly a female nation. Also Japan has had many gods; they have
accepted the idea of hundreds and thousands of gods. That symbolizes a
woman with no sense of chastity but who moves from one man to another
and thinks nothing of it. Germany was in the position of the satanic
Adam country. Germany is very masculine. The alliance between the two
satanic countries, Germany and Japan, necessitated an alliance on God's
side in order to counteract them. Italy was in the arch angelic
position on the satanic side.
Today, 30 years since World War II. France has turned toward a
leftist position and Italy will probably go the
same way. During World War II, there were clearly divided Heavenly
and satanic blocks fighting against each other. Since the Heavenly side
won. they should have inherited everything from the satanic side. Also
they should have embraced them and encompassed them to bring them under
Christian influence, but America failed to do that after World War II.
History has shown that America failed to do those three things and
the United Nations has become a communistic tool as a result; it is not
benefiting America or the rest of the free world. Many Americans want
to do something about the United Nations but they don't know what to
do. America has been paying the largest portion of the UN's expenses.
even though it has been such a tool for world communism. Although
America won World War II, it didn't have the ability to digest its
enemies.
It was at that time that the Unification Church emerged. If
Christianity, America and the rest of the free world had listened to
Reverend Moon when he emerged, many problems would have been solved
once and for all. However, Reverend Moon was opposed by them and,
at the same time, God was opposed by them. Thus communists today
are openly striking out against God and all the free world.
Now God must work to restore the mistakes of America and the
free world through the Unification Church. That is why we oppose
communism. Because both the people of the free world and the
communists are opposing Reverend Moon at this time, they are working
together in a way. What is the position of the United Nations? Where
is the godly side within the United Nations? One thing is certain-a
United Nations must be born on God's side. This Godly United Nations
must win over the satanic United Nations through superior theory and
practice and form a unified realm on God's side.
Communism is the principal occupant of the earth. There is only a
small segment of the earth which is occupied by the Unification Church,
but Reverend Moon has come out and proclaimed our advance against the
power of Moscow and our determination to expand God's territory on this
earth. This is the war we are engaged in at this time. This is the
reason why we must fight against communism.
Clearly the Unification Church has the function and mission to
restore what the free world failed to do after World War II-to recover
what was lost to communist power for God's purposes. This is why all
the forces under Satan's influence have banded together to resist our
movement. The highest point of that resistance or persecution occurred
in 1976. That was the fiercest time of the war. I proclaimed then that
the opposition would start to decline.
The conclusion is that all religions, regardless of denomination or
beliefs, must come into unity to fight
against the satanic force of communism. They must give birth to the
true United Nations which will oppose the ungodly forces. This United
Nations should be stronger than that other UN on the satanic side. It
should be more effective and bring much greater results for mankind.
This has been what Reverend Moon has been doing, consistently for
the past decades-bringing theologians together of different
denominations, as well as bringing scientists and other leaders
together into one super denominational movement. The Conference on God
is one example and the Youth Seminar is another. What we are talking
about is very simple: that all the people on the Godly side. regardless
of denomination or religion, should come together to oppose the satanic
realm of communism, knowing that communism will destroy them
otherwise.
There must be a leading country in this effort and the only country
suitable is America. Since the free world has been opposing me, they
have behaved as my enemies. However, I cannot treat them as my enemy
because they are the foundation which God has prepared for the past
thousands of years. They are opposing Reverend Moon out of ignorance
therefore, I must tolerate them, no matter what they do. America has
never been truly good: however, God's wish for America is that she be
good. This is what is holding up America even today.
God had to allow the Indians in this country to be mistreated 400
years ago because of His future plans for the America that would
develop. He knew that a powerful, Abel-type nation had to be prepared
which could fight against satanic powers. God had no choice but to work
through the white American people so He provided them with the
capability which they have today to fight against the satanic power of
communism.
God was happy to see the Abel side win World War II. However,
America did not carry on after her victory. In fact, America totally
failed after the victory. Because the Second Coming of the Messiah
occurs on the world level, the satanic imitation of the messiah, namely
communism, is developed on the world level and is claiming its mission
to save the whole world. This is a typical example of the false prophet
appearing one step ahead of the true one. Since the free world tailed
to inherit what God prepared for it, the foundation which God had laid
was taken over by communism.
Right after World War II, the communists quickly reorganized and
launched their movement, just the way the Messiah would. Stalin
established the policy of communizing the entire world; that was the
time of the communists' peak potential for unifying the entire world
under the communist banner. At that time, Reverend Moon was in the
position to lead a world movement of Christianity; God wanted
Christians to support His champion. However
since that did not happen, Reverend Moon had to establish the
Unification Church and let it pay the indemnity in the place of all
Christianity.
I have fought for God's gigantic plan every! inch of the way and we
have come a long way. We are now going over the hill and God's ideal of
a unified world is about to be established. The current court battle is
like the highest hill to go over. Reverend Moon is still holding onto
world Christianity and extending hands of love. The Unification Church
is being given the chance to do the work of God: however. world
Christianity is much more capable of doing that work. Now that I have
come to this point. I must decide how to fulfill God's schedule. How
can I hold on to America and revive Christianity here within the. next
three years?
We must now travel out of the wilderness and enter into Canaan
within the next three years. We must deliver Christianity into Canaan,
into the realm of God. These last three years of the forty years'
wilderness time are the most crucial ones. Success or failure is being
created from now on. The forty years from 1945 to 1985 have been and
will be years of world chaos with nothing but confusion about right and
wrong. This is much like the time when Moses went up to the mountain to
receive the Ten commandments. All his followers were confused and
became disloyal. During these past forty years in the spiritual
wilderness, many Christians have likewise plummeted into confusion over
what is right and wrong. They don't understand the difference between
their friend and their true enemy -they have come to believe that
communism might be their ally and friend, yet they think we are their
enemy when we are clearly their friends. Many men and women are
confused about their own natures - becoming homosexual and lesbian and
believing it is right. This is much the same as in Moses' time. The
Israelites became filled with wont! ideas and lowered themselves to
nothing but carnal pursuits Christianity today has lost much of its
spirit and influence over people.
The Israelites always tended to betray Moses and wanted to live
their own way, but Moses remained strong even after much suffering and
was able to receive the tablets. Home Church has come according to
that pattern I am teaching you, "This is the way to eternal life.
We must do this, regardless of how the world feels about it because
this is God's direction." Moses had to hoist up the serpent on his
staff so that everyone behind him could see it. The next three years
will be the time when the Unification Church will proclaim to the whole
world, 'We have found the solution and the right direction for every
nation. family and individual to live. This is the only chance."
Just like the Israelites followed Moses into Canaan. when Reverend Moon
goes to Moscow, Americans will follow him.
When the Israelites went into Canaan, they had to overcome the
powers living there. Likewise, one day we will march forward into the
satellite countries of communism and liberate them with the message of
God. This is the mission of the Unification Church. We must understand
what is in store for the Unification Church in the future. What is God
about to ask us to do? Nothing less than this worldwide dispensation.
We are truly the Heavenly army and we have just received our
command from God Himself to go out and work to clean up all
immorality-drug abuse, homosexuality, prostitution, gambling. I know
how all these ungodly activities operate. I know how the casinos
operate in Las Vegas and how that city is run. Unless all this
immorality is cleaned up, America has no chance for survival in the
future. Nobody but the Unification Church can do this job.
At this time, Col. Pak and CAUSA is having a seminar with 200
leading Americans from various fields. Since America has been very
indecisive and has not been concerned about right or wrong so much, the
activities of CAUSA in South America can stimulate the people here to
realize the truth. I predicted that Vietnam would be betrayed unless
America could adopt a firmer. more confident stance. That is what
happened in 1975. Cuba has grown much more powerful than it should
have' also. Because of that. so much trouble has occurred in Central
America.
This is the time of the cross once again. Reverend Moon is leading
the way. Only after we have planted God's banner inside of Moscow will
I be ready to return to my homeland. Once that is done, I won't have to
do so much more and the foundation will be firmly established. The
Unification foundation will always remain on earth and communism will
be driven out. All of God's avenues into the world will have been
established. God will have the foundation to live on the earth and to
travel freely here with His love, in the past, present and future.
Every country will be a place where God can freely visit any time He
wants. That will be the substantial beginning of Heaven on earth.
We are about to accomplish what America failed to accomplish after
World War II. An entirely new world was supposed to begin, so now we
will begin that new world. This will be centered upon four countries.
One is Korea, which is in Adam's position in God's dispensation. Japan.
America and Germany are the other countries. America is in the Abel
position and Germany is in the Cain position. Germany and America were
enemies during World War II and Japan and Korea have been historical
enemies of each other. Simply put. America and the free world,
representing Christianity, won World War II and if they had continued in
the way God intended, God's Kingdom would have
been so much easier to establish. But since they went
against God, God lost much of His foundation. Satan emerged and
took everything that was not claimed by God's side.
Today the communists in Moscow believe they have already won their
war against America; they think America is a certain loser. They have a
clear rationale behind this. America lost the war in Vietnam, despite
superior arms and forces, while the communists had cruder weapons and
forces. That means the communists have proven their power to defeat
Americans in any similar type of war. Right here on the American
continent communists can wage a similar war-through labor unions
or through college communist groups. They have infiltrated carefully
chosen people into the media and they know that they could easily
achieve their goals. If the communists threw all their efforts
right now into overthrowing America through such means, America would
not be able to overcome them. So many young people and even leaders
in this country are drug takers; sexual degradation is very common;
moral disease is everywhere. The communists see these things.
But all of a sudden like a miracle, a strong and powerful
voice is raised-such as CARP and the Unification Church-and they begin
to teach the truth very effectively. In Korea the Unification
Church has grown and gained acceptance over a period of time in the
face of fierce opposition. The same thing has happened in Japan.
Although you may not think it is possible to happen in America, we
have achieved victory twice before.
Compared to the Unification Church, the communists have nothing
inside of them. When we confront them head-on they crumble. They
are clever and they know that their real threat is not America or any
government, but rather Reverend Moon and the Unification Church. No
matter how strong the communists are, they can never digest the
Unification Church's teachings. However, the Unification Church members
can digest communism. How much God takes pride in Unification members!
You are standing upon such a high place so examine your worthiness
of that standard. Do you truly feel proud to be in this great position
and are you confident that you will win over any evil power on earth?
Especially you American women-you are in Eve's position and you must be
stronger than Satan at this time. It was Eve who first violated the law
of love in the beginning so now you women must control and occupy the
archangel, restoring him. 1 will make you women into such strong
Heavenly soldiers. Our women as restored Eves must overcome the fallen
archangel. Will you do it? You American women have already learned how
to control men. You must now become so strong that you can guide them
toward God.
This is consistent with Divine Principle. You women must restore
those women in Satan's forces by subjugating the archangel. While you
are doing these things. your men will stand behind and watch. That
means I will direct you women to go out and win over the satanic world,
then you will be worthy of my acceptance. Now is the time for women to
duel with your opponents-your opponents are Satan's men. How wonderful
you are to be women!
This is why the Japanese women were mobilized before any others.
Why did Japanese women come to America? All four enemies-Korea, Japan.
Germany and America-must overcome their past differences and establish
a new tradition as well, which people in the future will be able to
follow easily. The foreign missionaries had as their primary mission
to unite among themselves; that is how I instructed them. The
missionaries were instructed to follow the Japanese member, who was in
the position of Eve and should be able to nourish them, as if they were
the children. The Japanese were put into this position. However, the
average American doesn't even like to be close to a Japanese person,
much less have to follow one as his leader. However, even though I knew
the difficulties that exist between the Japanese and the Americans, I
gave them that instruction because everyone must go through the
mother's position.
You Americans may protest about Japanese, Korean and German elders
coming here and having positions of leadership. It is happening because
the nations that they represent must make a foundation of unity on
enemy soil; that foundation must be established. In the future all
families must be able to live together under one roof- Japanese with
Korean and German and American families. Unless they exhibit unity to
the world, they will not qualify as Heavenly citizens. You must gain
that kind of certification and after that you can move into the Kingdom
of Heaven. It is much more difficult for families to unite than just
individuals, so if you as an individual cannot unite because it is
too difficult, then your family will never be able to unite with
others. That means you can never live in Heaven!
If there were an easier way of achieving Heaven, I would have found
it since I am an intelligent person. Why should I deliberately choose
the most difficult way? These four countries have tremendous economic
power at this time. In the future, African countries will gain the
same. When the four providential countries establish their foundation
of tradition, the African nations need only to follow that tradition.
Reverend Moon is exercising his influence in these ways for the
sake of the free world. Are you helping me or am I helping you?
Until you mature, the parents have the responsibility to nourish
you. That is the principle and is true everywhere.
From this point on, the bridge of love has been erected in every
direction. There is nothing conceptual about these things. These are
the deeds we must do. Ultimately there will be one thought or
idea-Unificationism-on the earth. We can call Unificationism
"lovism" as well.
We are seeing that everything in the old world is decaying and
even perishing and at this time the new world will begin to spring up
with tremendous power. Under these circumstances, if I give a direction
to the women, will you respond quickly and obediently? You will not be
fighting with weapons but with the tools of truth and your words. The
power of your thought will be what you fight with. You are already
doing that without realizing it.
Communism has a one-party system by which they rule in their
subjugated nations. God's side must also have a united group such as
the new United Nations. God wants to see the free world united to
create the Godly United Nations by which they can restore all of
Satan's countries and his United Nations as well.) Why must America and
the free world do this? Without that, they cannot continue to protect
themselves.
They must have an ideology upon which to base their actions.
Unificationism is more than sufficient for that. Only Unificationism is
capable of digesting communism. We are not just claiming this. It is
obvious to anyone who has been observing. We have tested our ability to
digest communism and we have succeeded-in Japan, Korea, and South
America.
These things we have been discussing are very basic points which
you need in your position. You need to have a perspective on the world
in the future-what will happen and why. These points are not just some
person's imaginings; they are derived from the Principle. As you know,
the Divine Principle encompasses a huge area and nothing within it is
contradictory. You have received a tremendous amount of knowledge by
studying Principle for the past years. This kind of knowledge is not
rivaled by anything at Harvard University. No library contains a
fragment of this kind of knowledge. You have studied from Reverend
Moon's "heart library" and there is no other source like
that. If you want to open and study from that heart library, you must
open it with the "heart key." Once you have such a key,
everything will open up to you.
We will have to expand our discussion of the topic, "About
Myself," into another week since we have hardly touched on it
today. I spoke today about the world and historical things because
before we can understand ourselves, we need to understand the larger
entities and where we fit in. Those of you who have decided to work for
the 'heart key" because you can make a connection with God, please
raise your hands. How wonderful you are!
