REVEREND SUN MYUNG MOON
SPEAKS ON
PARENTS' DAY 1984

Translator - Bo Hi Pak
COL. PAK: Father has asked me to read this letter of
revelation which Father and Mother received from Korea. This is number
14 of a series of revelations which have been coming and it is written
to Mother.
Dear Mother: This revelation is given by God through the angels on
March 25, 1984, from 9:00 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. The representative angel
is speaking in the name of True Parents and his name is M.K.L. God is
sending His spiritual waves; He is saying to please receive this and
record it - "MN" dear, beloved Unification children, for so many
thousands of years I did not have a foundation on earth where I could
stand. But now, because of True Parents, I can communicate and have a
foundation on earth. Oh, joy! For every 365 days, the dispensation is
being consummated. I would truly like to be with you; I miss you and
love you very much."
God declared, "My joy is the True Parents on earth, who came
to restore the relationship between true children and their Heavenly
Father. Without their contribution, there could be no joy and no
foundation. Now the time has come for everyone to become true children
of the True Parents. For this reason and upon this foundation, Parents
Day has been installed. On this joyful day, we gather together in
celebration. There was so much agony and so many tears shed in order to
restore this day of joy. However, even after this restoration there is
so much chaos and confusion in our world. And why even within the
Unification Church is there so much disunity and commotion?"
God is showing His displeasure and saying, "There are many
seeds of complaints which shall bear their fruits in an evil way,
and many of the members will be hurt."
For a while God was silent. Then He said, "Because of lack of
faith, the realm of indirect dominion will be more invaded by Satan. It
is not easy to come to earth; earth is like a desert and the time which
passes here is most bitter. Only because of the blessing of Heung Jin
is direct dominion now attempted. In spirit world there is now law and
order; discipline has been established. True Parents have become the
forefathers to mankind on earth and they have liberated me from the
agony caused by Satan. The accomplishment of restoration of history is
so tremendous, I want to shout out three cheers. Upon the eternal
foundation of the dispensation, those who are blessed by the True
Parents are my children. You should not have to live with indemnity
always coming upon you any more."
What do you mean, God, when you say that? (The medium is speaking.)
The angel said to me, 'I still have no clear understanding about that.
It is to facilitate the way of the restoration.'
Then God said, "Although you children of mine think you are
following the way of filial piety and loyalty, I can divide you into
two basic groups. The first group is composed of those who are falling
apart, due to faithlessness; you are becoming the victims of
faithlessness. The other group is composed of those who are standing
upon absolute faith, going forward strongly and boldly. When
faithlessness prevailed during the time of Moses, Moses struck the rock
twice; because of that, he could not see the completion of the return
to Canaan. By the same token, Unification children could be in that
position. Without understanding True Parents' enormous responsibility,
you should not be in the position to strike the rock twice, that is, to
fault the True Parents.
"Do you know how difficult it is to be the Lord of the Second
Advent and to fulfill that responsibility? You have no idea how
difficult that mission is. The eternal truth is such that the parents
always try to suffer for the sake of their children; the children want
to suffer too in order to help their parents to become happy and
comfortable.
"I see a certain group of people among those who are following
the True Parents and who are blessed by them. These people are leveling
certain accusations and criticisms about the things the True Parents
are doing and the methods they are using to lead. How can you say that
is the true way of life for the true children on earth? I am deeply
agonized over such a situation. In order to unite the entire world, you
must have a complete philosophy or worldview, which is
Unificationism."
Then God said through the angel, "True Parents' mission is so
extraordinary and there is so much ground to cover, they are absolutely
busy accomplishing their task. Even if none of you follow them, the
True Parents and I together will consummate that task. However, as long
as there is a humanity which needs salvation, how can you not follow
the path of True Parents?
"Now True Parents have been installed here on earth and four
of the True Children have been blessed. All of them have been elevated
to the True Parents' level. There are blessed children among the
membership who have also been elevated to the Parents' level. Now from
the individual level. to the family level, to the society level,
national and worldwide level, we have such a tremendous foundation of
love. We are now ready to move forward to the ultimate goal of
fulfillment. The True Father's mission is very lonely and difficult.
Not only can he not look after you, but he doesn't even have the time
to take care of Mother or the True Children.
"Some of you may criticize the True Children-because some of
them do not speak Korean or do not seem to have achieved a spiritual
maturity. But these things do not mean that the True Parents' family
deserves accusation; not at all. The solutions of any problems for the
True Family, if any are needed, shall be achieved by me in consultation
with the True Parents. As blessed members of the Unification Church,
you should be united and support such solutions. Use wisdom, as well.
"True Mother has always fulfilled her dispensational role of
following Father's path absolutely. However, after the ascension of
Heung Jin, Mother was in deep agony due to the human pain of losing her
son so prematurely. Father was concerned about Mother; but he was able
to embrace her with his deep love.
"The United States must liberate the True Parents through this
court battle. BY, doing so, they will show that the fallen angelic
world is restored to the side of God. America will become a nation that
will show the rest of the world the path of restoration, in the name of
God and the True Parents. This is America's opportunity at this time-to
give the True Father total vindication.
"The True Parents have united the three ages-the Old Testament
era, the New Testament era, and the Completed Testament era. Therefore,
you must be ready to be a total offering to the True Parents for the
fulfillment of this unity.
"There is one point of which we must be careful. As long as
Hoon Sook, the wife of Heung Jin, lives on the earth, she must maintain
her absolute purity and live up to the standards of purity of the
Completed Testament era. There must be no departures in this realm from
absolute, God-centered history. This is the most important condition
for Hoon Sook. Some of the personalities from the Old Testament era
will want to be saved by making a relationship with Hoon Sook. Certain
mediums or spiritualists may be in the position to mislead her.
However, the True Father has indemnified the need for an! sort of
hidden dispensations; everything can be clearly understood. Hoon Sook
must maintain absolute purity here on earth."
COL. PAK: Father has given us a further explanation of this
passage.
FATHER: Those people who lived in the Old Testament era know
that a new dispensation is unfolding on the earth now; they want to
take advantage of that so they will always try to use people on earth
to elevate themselves. In this particular case, Heung Jin is in the
spirit world, with only his spiritual body. Hoon Sook is here on
earth, so she still has her physical body. Somebody could possibly
approach Hoon Sook saying. "You must fulfill the condition here on
the earth of the Heavenly four positions. I am in the position of
representing Heung Jin Nim so you should unite with me,
physically." Such an effort could be made by someone to entice
Hoon Sook.
In the Old Testament era, there were certain Jewish customs which
allowed men to take the wives of their deceased brothers. In fact, that
living brother had an obligation to unite physically with his dead
brother's wife so that she could bear a child and that family's lineage
could continue. In the special case of Tamar, she took it upon herself
to unite with her father-in-law in order to bear a child. This sort of
irregularity was more or less permitted in the Old Testament era.
However, now that we are in the Completed Testament era, the True
Parents have totally indemnified history and none of these
irregularities are necessary. If anybody were to approach Hoon Sook
with an enticement of this sort, his motivations would be absolutely
evil and totally removed from God's way. Those who are following the
True Parents must have no confusion along these lines; that is why this
advice is being given at this time.
COL. PAK: The revelation continues: "The True Parents
are working with the three periods-Adam's era, Jesus' era, and the Lord
of the Second Advent's era-and they must unite these eras, both
internally and externally. That will become the backbone of the world
restoration. That has been fulfilled by the True Parents so now you, my
children, must bring faith and life to the world. Where there is
conflict, forgive with love. Where there is division, you must Unite
upon the dispensation and the will of God. Where there is despair, give
hope.
"Parents day is now celebrated. Those four couples of the True
Parents' family who have received the blessing must be totally
centered upon the True Parents. Also all the members of the Unification
Church must be centered upon these four blessed couples in order to go
over this dispensational hill. The Messiah came to the earth and
achieved the victory of installing the True Parents.
"The entire world has come against this foundation, trying to
deter the forward march of the True Parents. However by the year of
1985 the opposition will subside. That will be a time for decisive
victor!. Centered upon the True Parents, you will become the Heavenly
race of true children, united into one. You will have one final hill to
go over on the worldwide level. The victory will be achieved and the
greatest difficulties will have subsided by 1985."
Then God wised His arms and said further, "Today is Parents
Day, created upon the goodness of the True Parents and the True
Children. For eternity and ever more you shall be blessed within me.
You shall serve and attend the True Parents in absolute loyalty."
Then God went into His throne. This is the end of the revelation.
FATHER BEGINS TO SPEAK:
When you hear such a report through this letter, you can understand
that spirit world works in a precise and specific way. In many cases,
those of you living here on earth may have a distant relationship with
the things I tell you. But those in spirit world are actually living
the principles I speak about in their everyday existence. If there had
been no fall, the earth would have been the first place of fulfillment;
however, things were reversed because of the fall. I want you to
understand that you are in a sacred and awesome place at this time.
When people join the Unification Church, they come with their own
worldly interests and understanding. There has been a huge gap between
God's will and dispensation and man's response for many thousands of
years; man's thoughts and actions have been far from God's will. Put
yourself in the position of the people of spirit world. They cannot
find their completion in the realm of spirit but they must work through
actions on the earth. Imagine the difficult process those people must
go through. Also, they know that only through attendance of the True
Parents on earth can perfection in spirit world be achieved. Imagine
what those people in spirit world would do if they could come back to
earth physically. How totally dedicated they would be to serve the True
Parents. because they really know the dispensation!
If such a person had his own physical body again, how much would he
use it-his hands, his legs, his whole body-in order to unite with and
win the heart of the True Parents! That is the great motivation and
desire of the people in spirit world. How much more so should you feel
that desire, those of you in the position to serve the True Parents on
the earth. You must feel that, no matter what, you will not compromise
on the standard the True Parents are teaching. You must not think,
"I will do things my way." You must be absolutely united,
under the will and direction of the True Parents. You should think,
"There is no such thing as my own will."
You know the amount of sacrifice that was paid by the thousands of
years of Christian history in order to make this era possible. There
are two basic groups of people within the Unification Church. There
are those who are self-centered, thinking about themselves primarily;
and the others are those whose thinking is True Parents centered. The
angel from God is warning us of this tact. You must realize the
extraordinary and sacred nature of your position.
This is the twenty-fifth celebration of Parents Day. On May 1, we
are going to celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of the founding of the
Unification Church. In the Asian tradition. each month is divided into
two seasons; therefore, each year is composed of twenty-four seasons.
The numbers 12 and 24 are quite important in the spiritual realm.
Each of the twelve months has its two faces, or seasons, which are
included within the 365 days of the year. Also, the number 36 is
significant. The three families of Adam, Noah, and Jesus multiplied by
12 produces the number 36.
The number six came to be a satanic number because that was stolen
by the fall of man. What Satan actually stole was the Heavenly four
position foundation. So six times four equals twenty-four, the number
of the seasons of the year. We mix together the Heavenly and the
satanic numbers and in the process we are restoring them.
There are primarily three worlds-the free world, the communist
world and the Heavenly world. The free world is basically centered upon
Christianity, while the communist world is centered upon atheism; the
Unification Church is the center of the Heavenly world. The free world
represents Abel or the unfallen archangel; the communist world
represents the fallen archangel; and the Unification Church represents
the realm of parents. Therefore, the mission of the Unification Church
is to bring unity between Cain and Abel-the communist world and the
free world. That is the mission of the parents and only the parents can
direct that unity.
The history of religion has been the history of the consummation of
the Abel-type world which is equivalent to the unfallen archangelic
world. The communist world represents the Cain world, or the fallen
archangelic world. This world is the final fruit of the fallen realm.
How can we accomplish the goal of unity? There must be a certain
process by which we can do it. That process requires the Abel world,
from the individual, family, and so forth, to subjugate the Cain world
on every level and thus restore the birthright of the elder son.
Otherwise we cannot restore the Heavenly individual, family, tribe,
nation and world. In other words, the existing world must be restored
into the Heavenly world.
In order to restore this fallen world, we must apply the same
principles by which God created Adam and Eve and expected them to
achieve their perfection. Those principles are ones of absolute faith,
absolute love, and absolute responsibility.
The fall resulted in the loss of that absolute faith and love and
the failure to fulfill that absolute responsibility. Therefore, the
absolute restoration cannot be assisted by God until man reaches a
certain level. We must fight and struggle to win certain goals in order
to be accepted by God. We actually cannot even pray directly to God
before fulfilling a certain amount of responsibility. Since we pray
without attaining that position, our prayers are actually going to the
angelic world; we are really asking for angelic help.
Jesus came and then ascended into Heaven; since that time he has
been fulfilling the role of the archangel. For that reason, when
Christians pray to Jesus they are actually receiving angelic help.
Jesus was unquestionably the son of God but because a certain process
was not completed, he had to take that archangelic role in spirit
world. Thus all the prayers of Christians so far have not been able to
go directly to God; they had to go through the angelic realms.
The mission of religion is to educate the fallen, Cain-type
children so that they can be restored into Abel-type children. We can
divide the history of Adam's descendants into three parts. The
formation level restores the fallen people into the realm of the
archangel, which is the servant's level; the growth level restores them
into the adopted son's level, which was Jesus' dispensation; finally,
the perfection level brings mankind into the realm of true children.
The culmination point, or the end, of Christianity will see the
return of the son of God. The Lord of the Second Advent is coming with
the mission to restore the original ideal of creation, the Garden of
Eden in which Adam and Eve will dwell without falling and will attain
total perfection. At the time of the last days' religion should be in
the position to have dominion over the world. That was precisely the
situation after World War II, when God gave the only opportunity for
the Christian realm to control the world. The Unification Church
emerged in Korea in 1945, right after the liberation of the country.
When Reverend Moon initiated that movement, it started above the
national level because it was a Christian movement, which is on the
worldwide level.
At that time right after World War II, there was a historical
background that would have allowed the vertical three levels of the
dispensation to be united on the horizontal level. Thus the restoration
of the archangel and the adopted child could be united directly with
the actual sonship of God. Without achieving the unity of those three
historical generations, there is no way to stop the encroachment of
Satan. However, Korean Christianity failed to respond to me and did not
unite with me. They represented the Christian culture of the entire
world; thus worldwide Christianity failed to respond to me.
At that point, Christianity fell into the hands of Satan and had to
be restored from the very beginning. Who had that mission? Since the
foundation of two thousand years was totally broken into pieces, the
messiah, who came in the position of the True Parent, had to begin from
scratch to restore the shattered culture-the archangel culture. the
adopted son culture, as well as the true children's culture. Those
three cultures had to be pieced together into one and a new foundation
had to be created. Therefore, the twenty-one year course was really the
restoration of the two thousand years of Christianity.
The Unification history is the restoration of all of human
history-that includes all other religions, not just Christianity, but
Buddhism, Moslem, Judaism, and so forth-in a forty-year period.
During this period of time, the messiah has been moving toward the
restoration of all the religions of the world. Therefore we have the
God Conference, the Religious Congress International, the Science
Conference and so forth, in order to awaken the religious world to its
ultimate unity. Under the banner of Godism, we have been trying to
unite the top leadership of the world. On the internal level, we are
uniting theologians, philosophers and academicians. On the external
level, we are uniting political people.
At this time no one is the decisive winner in the world struggle.
Abel has not united the world and Cain has not conquered the world.
Furthermore, the Parents' world has not yet gained the position
necessary to win the world. Where can God dwell? God cannot dwell
within the imperfect world of Abel; certainly He cannot dwell in the
communist world. At least God has the hope of dwelling in the future
Heavenly world.
When I came to this country, my basic mission was to unite the
diverse Christian cultures into a cohesive body. When Cain moved to
slay Abel in the Garden of Eden, there was no one to stop him. Even
though Adam and Eve were there, they could not stop his violent action.
Adam and Eve could not intervene in the Garden of Eden because they
were not perfected; they departed so far from God's will that they were
in no position to intervene in dispensational matters. They were still
struggling within the indirect dominion of God; that is where human
responsibility is not yet fulfilled. In other words, when Cain slew
Abel, God was in no position to stop him and Adam and Eve were helpless
as well.
The time we are living in today is different from that time; God is
no longer helpless because enough foundation has been laid by the True
Parents from the archangel's level, to the adopted son's to the true
son's level. Now God is in the position to intervene in this world.
When the Cain, communist world moves to slay Abel, God will not have to
stand back and watch. Why is this age so different? It is because we
are living in the age when enough indemnity has been paid by the True
Parents for the archangel, adopted son, and true children's realm
through the family level dispensation. In other words, the Heavenly
family has laid a strong enough foundation for God to claim it and use
it as a "handle" to work in the world.
The children of blessed couples are a new breed. They are like
fallen children who have been plucked out of the satanic tree and
grafted onto the Heavenly tree.
So far, the opposition against me has been complete; the free world
including Christianity and the communist world have all come against
me. Even under those circumstances, I moved forward step by step to win
the victory. I have paid enough indemnity that we can now exercise a
certain sanction against the Cain world. Realistically speaking, the
Abel world represented by the United States is in the position to fear
being slain by the Cain world, represented by the communist world. Only
through unity with the True Parents can this nation have hope.
My court battle can be compared with the crucifixion of Jesus. At
the time of Jesus' crucifixion, everything fell into division-his own
disciples and supporters, Rome and Israel. But at the time of this
crucifixion, the Abel world and particularly Christianity is uniting
centered upon the True Parents. Forty different organizations and
individuals, representing many millions of Americans, as well as
American Christianity, have given their support to my court battle.
Furthermore, the U.S. leadership has come to the point where it cannot
overcome its spiritual deadlock without the guidance and blessing of
the messiah. The Unification Church is in the position to make things
happen within this country.
What is our mission then? First of all, we must realize that Satan
still has his roots within two main areas-the individual and the
nation. Whenever he tries to oppose me, he uses the interests of the
individual or the nation. The individual can always be used by Satan
because people are self-centered. Satan's way to work is to manipulate
an individual or a nation to become an enemy of God's champion.
How can the Unification Church conquer this evil? That is the most
crucial question we must answer today. God must be the center of any
ideology which will become the subject over all others. Centered upon
God, we will have one nation. The God-centered individual should be a
part of that God-centered nation. Therefore the individual will be in
the position to represent God as well as the God-centered nation. Thus
the very concept of "I" would include the presence of God and
God's nation and world. The individual's very existence would be based
upon those realities.
In this special period of three years, we must bring unity between
the four dispensational nations-Korea, the Adam nation; Japan, the Eve
nation; the United States, the archangel nation; and Germany, the Cain
nation. These four countries have had enemy relationships among
themselves. In the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve became enemies; Cain
and Abel were enemies; the archangel and mankind were enemies. Thus,
as you can see, from the Divine Principle point of view we are trying
to restore and unite those four positions on the national and worldwide
level.
Satan has said, "As long as there are enemy countries with
animosities among them, I will claim those nations. They are obviously
my children." Likewise as soon as Satan sees a self-centered
person, he recognizes his own characteristics and he claims that
person. The only power strong enough to unite the four dispensational
nations is that of the love of God and the love of True Parents.
Therefore. your position is to be more proud of the love of God and the
love of True Parents than anything else in the world.
Actually, the love of God and the love of True Parents are one
love. This has been installed upon the family foundation; God's direct
dominion has been brought to that level. Therefore, the Unification
Church movement is the realization of the kingdom of God on earth. Why
was that possible? It is because there is total unity between God and
the True Parents and they have laid the foundation within the True
Family; they are expanding that to the worldwide level. Thus no power,
including Satan's strongest power, can stop or control this victory.
Today we see that the four dispensational nations are being mixed
together on the family level; in that way their national and cultural
boundaries are being eliminated. Therefore, I am declaring that all the
leaders of Korea, Japan, the United States and Germany must be united,
centered not upon yourselves but upon this ideal which I have
described. Upon this internal foundation, I am reaching out to the
entire world under the banner of Godism.
The communist world is very proud of their accomplishment-they have
subjugated the individual as well as the state, totally without God. On
the other hand, the True Parents centered upon God and the universal
truth have established the highest ideal. This is our pride. Thus the
Unification Church today is in the position to proudly proclaim our
accomplishment to the world. Unification Church individuals have been
changed from being self centered to being God-centered.
From Satan's point of view, the Moonies are superior, different
people; he has to give us that credit. On the family level, the
Unification people are superior again; this is obvious in comparison to
secular families. The same is true of the Unification Church tribe; we
maintain no boundaries. either racial or national, but are united under
our common ideal. On the national level we are united as well,
specifically between the four dispensational countries. This is
obvious to the satanic forces. Therefore, Satan himself will have to
admit that this movement will be the one to bring God's kingdom on the
earth, based upon our tangible accomplishments.
Working under so much opposition, Reverend Moon and the Unification
Church have accomplished this much; how much more will we be able to do
with popular support! This is the month of April, a time for transition
and change. Do you think I am speaking the truth to you?
The Cain world is trying to slay the Abel world and the only entity
capable of preventing that is the True Parents and God. Once people
learn clearly about the True Parents and through them about God, there
is hope for the salvation of the world. Liberation comes to our world
only when you members truly represent God and the True Parents to the
rest of the world. When people in the secular world come into contact
with you, they are actually contacting the True Parents and God; thus
salvation can come to them. Their original minds, like antennae, are
pulled toward you.
I am speaking about this today-on Parents Day, April 1,
1984-because today is the day of the transfer from one level to
another. When the spirit world and physical world are united into one,
the True Parents can emerge; True Parents can only be recognized when
Cain and Abel are united. Heung Jin has brought the unity of spirit
world and physical world. That is why we could declare the Creation and
Building of the Fatherland as our slogan for 1984.
What is the position of Heung Jin? He was elevated into spirit
world not as archangel but as Abel. He was the Abel who tasted the love
of the True Parents on the earth as their true son and heir. Heung Jin
lived under the direct dominion of love of the True Parents; he is the
only person ever to have experienced that kind of love and then to have
been elevated to spirit world.
According to the Divine Principle, if there had been no fall,
mankind could have grown through the indirect dominion of God quickly
and then could have experienced God's direct dominion on the earth.
After that, people would have entered Heaven in the spirit world.
However, no one throughout the history of Christianity including Jesus
himself could dwell in the direct dominion here on earth; only after
experiencing the indirect dominion did they go to spirit world. Heung
Jin alone has lived on the earth with the direct dominion of God and
then has gone to the spirit world.
Furthermore, since God gave the blessing to Heung Jin, it is almost
as if he had fulfilled the Heavenly four position foundation here on
earth. Since Heung Jin has the ability to travel freely between spirit
world and physical world, he will establish the foundation for spirit
world to communicate with the physical world. It was most important to
have Heung Jin's family foundation here on earth.
At the time of Jesus, no foundation of the True Parents was erected
on the earth; thus the love of the True Parents was never experienced
on earth. Therefore when Jesus entered prematurely into spirit world,
the Second Coming became absolutely necessary. But Heung Jin
experienced that fullness of love and then entered into spirit world so
he does not need to come back again; he can simply live within the two
worlds. On the shimjung level, once Heung Jin was elevated to spirit
world, he was entirely above everybody.
From God's point of view, True Parents are the elder son's position
while Heung Jin is in the second son's position. The True Parents are
working on the earth and Heung Jin is working in spirit world.
From the point of view of spirit world, Heung Jin is the eldest
brother, even more than Jesus or any other person. The person who
received and experienced the most advanced level of love on earth is
the eldest person in spirit world, regardless of their physical age.
Because Heung Jin tasted the direct love of God on the earth through
the True Parents, he is now in the position to share that love with
everybody. Satan never wants to share anything he has; but Heung Jin,
representing God, wants to give away and share his precious treasure.
By his doing so, God's foundation is quickly enlarging.
The spirit world was full of divisions and disharmony; however,
after the blessing of Heung Jin the barriers have been broken down so
that people in spirit world can not only communicate with each other,
they can also communicate through channels to the physical world much
more. Also as you know, the physical world is within the victorious
realm of our True Parents; therefore, this world can gain incredible
blessing through Heung Jin. The Heavenly principle is that whatever the
parents achieve, the children can inherit.
The spirit world and the physical world are like the internal and
external twins now. Cain and Abel are united in the physical world
under the True Parents while in the spirit world, Cain and Abel are
united under Heung Jin. Because of the True Parents being on the earth
and Heung Jin being in the spirit world, total harmony and unity
between those two worlds can now become a reality.
The channel of command in spirit world is this: God; Heung Jin's
family; and all the saints. Here on earth it is: True Parents; True
Family; and blessed couples. The four blessed couples of the True
Parents' children represent north. south, east and west. Thus the four
directions of the world have been covered. In spirit world the families
of Jesus and Heung Jin must be united; likewise, here on earth, you
must be united with the True Children's families. The family of Jesus
has been consummated. That blessing came when the national level
dispensation was accomplished. Heung Jin's blessing came upon the
foundation of the worldwide dispensational victory.
Total unity has been accomplished in spirit world between Heung
Jin's family and Jesus' family. By the same token, the True Parents'
family and the blessed couples must be totally united here on earth.
Once that happens on earth, worldwide unity with the True Parents is
imminent.
Perhaps you have always been thinking, "I come from
Germany," or Japan or Korea, but you must rid yourself of this
thinking; it has no place within your mind. From now on, have only
three points of reference in your mind: God; True Parents and their
family; and yourself. We are creating one nation, composed of those
elements. We all live under one principle and one tradition. That
tradition is such that the individual lives for the sake of the family;
the family lives for the sake of the clan; the clan lives for the sake
of the society; the society lives for the sake of the nation; and the
nation lives for the sake of the world. Unless you live this principle
here on earth, you cannot be accepted into the citizenship of Heaven in
spirit world; that world is organized under that system.
If there had been no fall, every person would have lived this way
on earth and then would have entered perfected into spirit world. Now
for the first time since the fall, the True Parents have come and
restored the world situation so that people can live again, as if there
had been no fall.
You must become a historical, worldwide individual. For example,
our brother David S. Kim is in the position to either be recorded in
history as just a good school president, or he will make an impact upon
the worldwide dispensation. The seminary will have a museum, full of
those things which contributed to the progress of the seminary; but the
museum of the world will contain those things which contributed to the
worldwide dispensation. Even a school museum should contain certain
items that contributed to the worldwide dispensation.
When you think about creating your own family museum, think about
being able to include things which contributed to the worldwide
dispensation; those will be the most precious items in your museum.
When you say "treasure" it does not mean something which is
valuable only to you but it is something which benefits the entire
world, all of humanity.
Although I have been entangled in a court battle here in America, I
have not been fighting it as an individual, thinking only to extricate
myself. Rather, I am fighting a world level, dispensational battle. I
do not face this trial for myself but for the sake of the restoration
of the world. This is the reason I can never hate America. During the
time of the trial itself, our movement initiated The Washington Times
and the Inchon movie. Why was that? I am always thinking of how to
contribute to the worldwide dispensation and humanity.
Why did I declare that Moscow was our next goal after the
Washington Monument rally? Was that for my own glory or benefit? All of
America was shaken when I gave the blessing to the 2,000 couples at
Madison Square Garden and then I held the blessing ceremony of the
6,000 couples in Korea. Do I do things like that because I am a lover
of controversy? Not at all. It is for the sake of the world and for the
sake of God that I do them.
Many of you Unification Church members and leaders came to America
from other countries and, as you know, I pushed you into suffering
courses; sometimes your suffering was great. Today you must realize
that I want to make you the museum pieces for the world's museum. Some
of you have minds of complaint about the suffering you have been led
into, but today you must change your thinking. Don't even think that
you are doing what you do because I directed you; think that you are
doing it on your own. This is your restoration, your mission, your
world, and your God-that is the way you must think.
Without your awareness, I have been initiating many activities for
God's dispensation, such as NCCSA, ICUS, New Era, the God Conference,
and many theologians' meetings. People may have thought I was just
indulging in a hobby through these conferences but my goal was to
initiate worldwide unity. I have been working to unite all world
religions, not just Christianity, but also those which are indirectly
involved in the dispensation such as Islam, Hinduism, and so forth,
even communism. The time has come when the free world will say,
"Reverend Moon. please come and help us. Without Unificationism,
we can find no solution to our problems."
When the parents are embracing Abel in total unity. there is no
place for Cain to go except to them; there is no opportunity for Cain
to slay Abel. The parents will command Abel to love Cain; likewise, the
parents will tell Cain, "Abel is our beloved son and you must love
him, too." Cain will answer, "Yes. I will." This is the
Heavenly principle; there is no other way. Satan has no other way than
according to principle.
Therefore once the True Parents and the free world are embracing in
unity, the communist world will have no escape; they will have to join
in that unity as well. This is the time when we must do everything
possible to show the true strength of the Unification Church. We want
to show to the world the tree of love-based upon the ideal of creation
and the Heavenly tour-positions. That tree of love will be an organism
in which all the members are serving each other. From the leaves on top
to the deepest roots. We must show to the world the phenomenon of the
natural way of life.
Today, Parents Day, is the day for you to declare that you will
accept God's marching orders toward the future. I want you to
understand that the forces of Heaven from spirit world are ready and
eager to support you and protect you upon the fulfillment of one
condition: that you are united with the True Parents, with the True
Family, and with the true ideal of the True Parents. Upon that
condition the spirit world will surround and protect you, as much as
the angelic world was to protect the people in the original Garden of
Eden.
Regardless of your nationality and regardless of your leadership
position-whether you are a national leader or whomever-the only
criterion for anyone is that you be totally united with the True
Parents and Family. By doing that, you deserve the protection and the
great support of spirit world. You must come to the realization that
you are the independent army for the creation of the Fatherland here on
earth. For that reason, you must be able to speak the mother tongue,
the language of the Parents. If someone cannot speak the language of
True Parents, Satan can say, "You are not the children of True
Parents; therefore you are my children." That is the reason why
learning the mother tongue is so important.
In 1483 I gave the direction for everyone to learn the mother
tongue by 1990; seven years is long enough for anyone to learn it. In
order to restore seven thousand years of dispensational history, I am
allowing these seven years' condition to learn the Korean language. As
long as you are continuing to learn Korean, Satan will not accuse. You
should first focus upon learning key words, such as Father, Mother,
brother, wife, husband, Divine Principle, and so forth.
You must be able to say, "I have one set of True Parents, one
True Family, one group of brothers and sisters, one spouse."
Anybody who has received the blessing should never look at another
person as more desirable than his own spouse. No man should think,
"I wish I could marry that woman instead." You must
understand the true value of the blessing. The True Parents assigned
your wife or husband to you; that is a treasure greater than a chunk of
gold the size of the planet earth. Unless you have a true family and
blessed children, you can have no connection with the True Parents when
you enter spirit world. Certainly your blessed spouse is far more
precious than that chunk of gold because gold cannot give you eternal
life.
Once the basic foundation is established. I will not have to come
out to the world. I may seclude myself behind thick walls and then many
people will try to come to see me. Why should I continue to speak in
the future? I have given you enough words but you have not fulfilled
them. The time will come when meeting with me will be far more
difficult. Even the top leaders will not be able to come and go freely
to East Garden. Although you will be longing to meet with the True
Parents in the future, that opportunity will not be available. That
time will come.
Today I have given more than a message; it is a declaration that
the Heavenly Kingdom and the earthly Kingdom are being realized. That
was the content of my prayer this morning for Parents Day-I declared
that we are forming one nation under God. The time is not far away at
all. You should feel that your family, clan, nation and the world will
absolutely unite under the True Parents. One nation under God is
realistically possible very soon.
I am not thinking of returning to Korea and living out my life; the
head of that country and its government are not welcoming me. The time
will come when we have the Completed Testament Pentecost. At the time
of Jesus, 120 disciples prayed together and experienced the Pentecost
which was the real start of Christianity. At this time, 120 nations
will experience the Pentecost and their heads of state will ask the
True Parents to come to their countries. That is where we will go.
My ministry between the years of 1983, 1984, and 1985 are
comparable to the three days when Jesus was in his tomb. Therefore, it
is not the time when I should be going out; it is the time to stay
inside, the time of darkness. What happened after Jesus' three days in
darkness? He was resurrected. By the same token, after 1985 the True
Parents will experience universal welcome and recognition. You must
realize that the second generation within the communist world will be
on God's side.
On this Parents Day, the most important thing you must understand
is that the mission of the True Parents up to this point has been
incredibly difficult. I have worked for a forty-year period, twenty-one
years, and now finally this three-year period, which is my final
assault. These are most crucial times in which we live; my declaration
today will have a crucial effect upon the life of the nation and the
world.
False parents came into being because of the fall of man; since
then mankind has been suffering under the false parenthood. But out of
this situation, I have installed the True Parents who must take
responsibility for all the mistakes and evils that ever occurred. I
want you to understand that this is the most cosmically difficult task
of anyone, ever. The power of communism has been rampant in the world
but the time of their doom is near. In order to stop communism, the
Abel world must come into unity with the True Parents and be embraced
by them. This is what I am increasingly focusing on.
In the earliest days of our movement, the nation of Korea tried
hard to eliminate us. But today the people of Korea and particularly
the government have come to feel helpless to stop us. Japan also feels,
"We cannot do anything about them," and they have thrown up
their hands in defeat. Soon the U.S and Germany will be in that
position as well. Ultimately the communist world will be helpless, as
well. The communist world doesn't fear President Reagan the most; they
fear Reverend Moon.
Once this nation of America listens to Reverend Moon, the rest of
the world will be no problem. Look at how Neil Armstrong's trip to the
moon was watched by the whole world. Don't you suppose that we could
give a television workshop by satellite to the world? S. is the key.
That is the reason why the space age is here, according to God's
dispensation. Our movement is now utilizing all the latest technology.
We are broadcasting cable television programs nationwide.
One of the largest television production studios in Washington, DC,
was available; it was clear that God's dispensation needed such a thing
so our movement immediately bought it. The dispensation is moving fast.
If in the future I call upon everyone to gather together on short
notice and some people have too many things holding them back, they
will be very sorry. Perhaps I will hold a ceremony in which all the
blessed couples will be called to re-register. Even those 36 couples
who do not attend the re-registration will lose their position;
likewise with the 72 couples and so on.
Today in only two hours' time, I have given you precious knowledge
of spirit world and physical world. On this Parents Day, I want you to
understand what a great accomplishment the True Parents have made; also
you must know what great agony True Parents have endured to do that.
The most important realization you must have today is that you have no
right to complain about anything you endure. Do not worry about your
own children and family. You must worry about only one thing: how to
inherit the True Parents' tradition and how to live it. By your doing
that, everything else will be taken care of; you will pave the way
toward your eternal and glorious Heaven. That is for the sake of your
own tribe, your own descendants.
There will be twelve tribes. The True Children must suffer in a
different way from you. Wherever they go, whether to school or for
recreation, they are always whispered about, "That is Reverend
Moon's child." And they are always hearing criticism about their
own father. Even though you feel pain when you hear someone criticizing
me, that is nothing like the pain felt by the True Children. Many times
they are reduced to tears in their own school for this reason. How many
tears have you shed because of criticism of the True Parents? How much
agony and heartbreak have you felt for that? Therefore. no matter
what, the True Children are spiritually higher than you because they
are heartistically closer to the True Parents.
Being the son or daughter of Reverend and Mrs. Moon is such an
agonizing burden that sometimes the children wish they were not in that
position. It is that difficult for them. What should be the attitude of
the Unification Church members? Instead of standing back and pointing
fingers of accusation at the children, you should say, "God, give
me their pain so that the children can be liberated. Let them grow up
experiencing joy and happiness. Let us be the ones to suffer
instead." That is the righteous way to feel. How often have you
considered the agony of the children? If you cannot go beyond their
heartistic suffering, you had better just be silent and try to do
whatever you can to help them.
The suffering and agony of the True Parents in the course of the
dispensation is beyond comparison with that of any of the True
Children. True Parents have had to endure much more persecution and
heartbreak than anyone. True Parents have lived an entirely public
life, bearing the responsibility of the universe. Some people have come
before us and have tried to take advantage of us, even telling us lies.
Such a thing is incredible.
Mother and I have suffered, not because we are foolish or weak and
helpless; we are very intelligent and wise and we are stronger and
tougher than anyone can imagine. Our suffering is simply because of our
public mission. For your sake, in order to bestow upon you the proper
tradition, we have suffered. I want to give everything to you and for
the sake of the dispensation. Even now I am taking on more suffering,
so how can anyone among you feel you have the right to open your mouths
in complaint or self-service?
If there were no True Parents, how could God even think about the
realization of His ideal, the restoration, or anything? These ideals
would never even have the chance to come to the minds of humanity. The
scope of my mission is beyond anyone's concept-bringing light to this
darkened and chaotic world. Your attitude should be one of respect and
gratitude.
I am talking in such plain language today so that you will
understand the plain truth; this should give you the motivation for
repentance, as well as obedience. You should have absolute faith in the
True Parents. This is the day of a new beginning; everybody must begin
a new life. That new life must begin with repentance and in that way we
can have new hope and new direction. As we march forward from today,
this day will shine as a most meaningful one in history.
During the Exodus, Moses' mission was succeeded by Joshua and
Caleb; they led the second generation of Israelites into Canaan. When
God spoke to those champions, he gave them two words of guidance: Be
bold and be strong. You are the heirs and the successors of the True
Parents so I am giving you the same two words: be bold and strong. Then
God shall be with you forever more and victory will be with you always.
By this victory, you shall create the Heavenly Kingdom, our Fatherland,
on earth and in Heaven. Amen! That will be the glorious completion of
your mission. Those who want to pledge that victory to me and Mother,
raise your hands, please. Thank you.
