THIS IS THE
TIME OF CHANGE

Translator - Peter H. Y. Kim
Do you see any difference in the world now and when I went back to
Korea last time? What changes do you see?
We are not aware of the exact turning point between one season into
another. No one can discern the precise moment when spring changes into
summer, for instance. Within a single day, unless we are looking at a
watch, we don't notice the one second's difference between morning and
afternoon. By the same token, people are not aware of the change of the
dispensational time period, but we are living in a different time now.
The most highly developed religions of the past usually were
centered on men, and women were more or less left out. Women were not
responsible to run any religious organizations. Why was that the case?
It is because history has been looking for the central person, the
Messiah, from the individual level to the family, tribal, society,
national, and worldwide level. The Messiah should come as a man.
Because of the fall of man, Satan has been the owner of this world.
History could never find the perfected man. In other words, no man
could ever reach the original plus position. That means man couldn't
take rightful dominion over this world. The world is divided into the
plus and minus sides. All creatures exist within the pair system,
including the mineral, plant, and animal worlds. When Adam and Eve
fell, the pair system was broken in the human world. That means the
proper plus and minus relationship was destroyed. God's providence
became that of re-creation, and it was centered upon restoring Adam.
God was starting over to make the true plus person for the first time.
The fallen world has never had a person who represents the true
plus. Such a person is necessary for the restoration and salvation of
the world. We call that true plus person the Messiah. What is the
mission of the Messiah? He has to create the condition for a true minus
to come into being. All the fallen men and women living in this world
right now are the result of a failure. Does that include the president
of the United States? No matter how famous or successful any kings or
presidents may be, they are all results of a failure.
As history progressed, God raised up various types of plus persons
within different cultures and religious backgrounds. That is why we
have seen lots of different religions in the world. When people
followed low-level religions such as shamanism, they believed in
horizontal spirits, or gods. They didn't have any vertical relationship
with the one, true God. That's why those religions didn't have a
straight moral standard. In other words, they didn't have any
connection to the vertical standard of God, so they were controlled by
Satan. From that, we can see clearly how important the true vertical
standard is. Without it, there is no true concept of man and woman,
plus and minus. That is why people could live like animals and
experience so much confusion. We see so much moral confusion now at the
last days: free sex, the "gay rights" movement, and so forth.
All these activities are being led by Satan and evil spirits.
In the animal world, certain types of male animals will fight
fiercely to win the best females. The females don't fight among
themselves because the male is subject. But in the world of human
beings, you don't find any true champion of man. That true champion
should be the Messiah.
As you know from the Bible, woman was created from Adam's rib. That
means woman was copied from man, so to speak. Many American women try
to control their husbands and sons, but that is not the vertical way.
The husband or father represents the vertical connection. The elder
son represents the right side, and the mother's place is the left side.
That means she cannot control the vertical and she cannot control the
elder son. These are not my words, this is the original Principle
viewpoint. You American women need to know this point.
According to Oriental tradition, if a woman isn't able to produce
children, she may be kicked out of the family. The first priority for a
married woman is to bear children. Woman is like a field to receive the
seed. That's why you are biologically different from man. Are those
differences for your own sake, or for your children? Women's physical
characteristics allow her to bear and nurse children.
By raising children, a woman is able to understand God. When a woman
understands the significance and value of her husband and then they
have a child, their relationship establishes the vertical relationship.
On the other hand, a man is supposed to love his wife and daughters,
just as he loves God and his own father. In that way the power of love
can be circulated in your family.
Because women themselves do not have seeds, they have to receive
them from the man. When a wife receives the seed from her husband, a
miracle takes place there: either a son or a daughter. The mother
provides the flesh of a child, and the father provides the bones. Each
person's basic shape is determined by his bone structure, which is from
the father.
As females grow up, they start thinking about having children. On
the other hand, when males grow up, they tend to think about the world
and the universe. This is because man represents God, who is seen as
our father, while the earth is represented as a mother. Women have a
tendency to desire material goods; they yearn for beautiful and
colorful things. Instead of looking upward toward God, they tend to
look down to the earth. A man, on the other hand, has the tendency to
look up for something bigger and greater.
When you look at something, do your eyes work together or do they go
in separate directions? Why don't they move separately? It is because
they are internally united. The eyes represent God. Therefore, when you
look into somebody's eyes, you can see whether he has a good conscience
or not. You need your ears, nose, and mouth, but your eyes are the
center point of the face. The mouth, with its horizontal opening,
represents earth. The nose represents Adam and Eve, who connect heaven
and earth. That's why as a child grows, his nose is the last thing to
develop on the face. This is more obvious on the face of young
Orientals because their face is more flat.
You should have good-looking eyes, mouth and nose. When you look at
somebody's face, you should be able to draw a good, solid triangle
between the two eyes and the mouth. The nose needs to be proportioned
properly to create good balance on the face. Suppose your nose was
wider at the bridge than at the bottom. What a funny, unbalanced face
that would be! Even with all this balance, suppose you had hair in the
wrong places, covering a portion of the forehead.
Particularly for a woman, having a big mouth and thin lips is a
problem. She tends to be a troublemaker who talks fast, like a machine
gun. Your face shape usually represents your character. If you didn't
have a nose, your eyes would look down at your mouth every time you
spoke. In order to prevent the eyes from being constantly distracted by
the mouth, God placed the nose in between as a buffer, high enough to
block the view. Even if your eyes try to look down at the shape of the
mouth, all they can see is the tip of the nose. Think about it. How
busy your eyes would be if you didn't have a nose! It's no accident.
God's scientific calculations were behind the way all things were
created.
You should have nicely-shaped ears. If a child has large earlobes,
which signify his relationship to the physical world, it shows that his
childhood and his life will be pretty smooth. In the animal world, the
weaker creatures usually have big ears because they need to be able to
listen well and avoid their predators. People with big ears are often
involved in the arts, such as music, and they may be able to run fast.
Deer and rabbits can run fast. They have big ears and long legs. Their
body structure is balanced for their purpose of life.
When you look at black people, usually they have wider and shorter
noses because of the hot weather their ancestors lived in. When hot air
comes in, there is no need for a long nostril to warm it up. On the
other hand, white people have narrower and longer nostrils for the
opposite reason. Their ancestors were living in the colder climates,
and they needed to heat up the air as it came into their nose.
Therefore, nobody should have racist attitudes because of such bodily
distinctions. They are all because of natural law.
When you look at animals, you don't find very many snow white ones.
Most animals have a brownish color. That is because the color of the
earth is brown. In order to protect themselves, the animals blend in
with the earth by taking on a brown coloration. Do you think brown is
closer to white or black? Certainly it is closer to black. That's why,
in order to adjust to nature, animals and all those people who lived in
the hot climates have a tendency to be darker colored. They had more
sunshine. Is lots of sunshine good for you? Sunshine is healthy. White
people didn't receive as much sunshine as the black people.
In terms of health differences, who are stronger and generally
healthier? If black people and white people live together in the same
conditions for a long time, blacks will be stronger than whites. Just
look at the top athletes in this country.
Look at the distribution of life on the planet earth. Do you find
more animals at the North Pole or in the tropical areas? More dwell in
the tropical areas because there are no restrictions. Animals can move
around there for 24 hours of the day. The animals who are constantly
moving around can run faster than others. Black people have hips shaped
a certain way, which is different from white people and Orientals.
Many black people are able to run faster than other people because of
this aspect of their body shape. That is because their ancestors used
to run a lot and needed a body shaped that way. The black people in the
tropics used to take the fruit from the trees, just as the monkeys and
other animals do.
White people originated from the North Pole, so white people have
the tendency to kill and eat animals. The white cultures have killed a
lot of people. What about the black cultures? Black people who lived in
the tropical areas used mostly fruits as their food.
White people generally eat a lot of meat, seeds and nuts. When you
crack open a nut, it has a white color. This is due to the great amount
of oil and fat within. One of the reasons Caucasians have pale skin is
that they eat a lot of oily, whitish foods such as nuts. In the
tropics, there is an abundance of fruit, but you don't see many nuts
growing there. The black people usually eat the entire tropical
fruit-the skin and every part of it.
Oriental people mostly eat grains and vegetables. That is why they
are built differently from Western people. Westerners tend to have
broad, well-developed upper bodies and narrow lower bodies, while
Orientals are built more like a straight tree trunk. They have rather
short legs in proportion to the rest of their body.
Nowadays people are able to dwell in virtually any kind of climate
or weather, thanks to technological advancements. Even so, people
generally do not dwell in the coldest or hottest climates. Most people
are concentrated in the temperate zones of the earth, which represent
the spring or autumn-type areas. Spring and autumn share many
similarities-mild temperatures, windy days, and so forth-but the fact
is that they are opposite from one another. Why do people prefer spring
or autumn? In spring you see everything in bloom; in autumn you
harvest.
What about the north and south poles? They are the points of axis.
Great variations of temperature and a moderate climate do not exist
there. While civilizations and cultures have expanded in the east-west
direction, the south and north areas have not prospered as much. The
tropical areas of the southern hemisphere and the north, represented by
Russia, are becoming poorer and poorer, while east and west are
becoming richer. The ideal situation would be for the distance between
north and south, east and west to be about the same. Both should enjoy
circular give and take. But now there is a big, fat east and west, and
a small, weak north and south. This disparity in wealth and development
is a major world problem.
Between east and west, where is the original point? The east
represents the giving culture, while the west is the receiving culture.
Although the east has been providing spiritual food to the west, the
materialistic west has dominated the east. The wealth-centered,
materialistic culture has used deductive reasoning to understand its
causes-going from result back to cause. But the Eastern culture is
opposite, with its inductive reasoning: it starts from the origin and
expands from there.
When do you think east and west can become one? Western culture has
come to the point of virtually denying the existence of God. That's why
they only see the physical bodies of man and woman, and they don't see
the ideal for human beings. Western culture can't come up with the
ideal character through its deductive reasoning, but with the inductive
method, you have to acknowledge God as the origin.
How do you think man should live? Should we be centered on material
things or spiritual values? What is the next step? Is spiritual value
enough? The spirit represents the center, like the bones of the body
which determine your shape. Our hands have their particular shape
because of their bone structure. Why do we have lines in our palms? It
is because of the movement of the hands, which is determined by our
bones. If you lose some of your skin or flesh, it can grow back, but
once a bone is lost, it is lost. That's why spirit alone is not
complete. Bones need the flesh to cover them.
God divided this world between east and west, representing bones and
flesh. The west said, "Let's just keep our flesh," while the
east said, "Our bones are sufficient." Now a God-centered
religion has emerged out of the eastern, spiritual culture and is
trying to dominate the western world which is centered on the flesh and
ruled by Satan. As we attack and push Satan aside, we develop and
increase the power of religion.
Traditionally, the highest religions have called upon their most
devout followers to abandon material wealth in favor of a spiritual
life. Eastern culture has tended to neglect material wealth in favor of
spiritual values. But the western religion, Christianity, has been
accumulating material wealth and now they are living more comfortably.
The message of Jesus Christ grew and prospered first in the European
area, then it traveled to the American continent and the Pacific Ocean,
eventually coming to the Far East. So Christianity received the entire
wealth of the world and has been carrying it to the East.
God's desire is for man to unite mind and body into one. The
Unification Church is the only religion in history to advocate bringing
together material wealth and spiritual values; we value and emphasize
both, not abandoning one for the other. In reality, America, centered
on Christianity, should have been able to bring together material
wealth and also the Eastern spiritual culture and values. However,
Christianity in America failed to do that. That is why Reverend Moon
came here with the Unification Church and introduced Unification
theology, which teaches the value of both the material and the
spiritual. I have been working to recreate this country.
The world should unite into one harmonious family. In order to do
that, we form interracial, international marriages centered on the love
of God. That's why we see in the Unification Church that western people
have a tendency to prefer eastern spouses, and vice-versa. The trend
in the rest of the world is for western people to go to the east.
You can see that the functions and characteristics of bone and flesh
are very different. Therefore, western people who represent material
wealth, or the flesh, should start to focus on a life of faith, whereas
eastern people who represent the bone, or the spiritual life, should
appreciate the material world more. East and west are meeting now. West
should provide material to the east, while the east brings spiritual
value to the west.
The Unification Church in Korea has been suffering both materially
and spiritually. Western wealth should come and help Korea now. Eastern
and western culture are both in the harvesting time.
Only those people who can deal with 12 distinctive characters and
personalities will be able to join the True Parents' family as in-laws.
Jesus Christ tried to deal with 12 different characters and types of
people through his disciples. He was constantly serving them. At the
Last Supper, Jesus knelt and washed the feet of his disciples. Twelve
disciples times six equals 72 disciples. As a Unification Church
member, you should be able to harmonize with all twelve of the distinct
kinds of characters. At the same time, each member should gain twelve
spiritual children by going back to our hometown. Six represents the
number of Satan. Since we lost that number, we have to restore it in
order to make 72. And 12 times six equals 72. Twelve plus 72 equals 84.
We have to restore this number.
To be qualified to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, you should be
welcomed by at least 84 blessed couples, no matter what circumstances
you may be in. Only then can you go where Jesus Christ dwells now. Do
you follow? Another way to derive 84 is to multiply the 12 months of a
year by the 7 years' course.
All the numbers from one to ten must belong to God and no longer to
Satan. We must restore number seven by offering ourselves entirely to
God through this missionary work. No complaints, no personal opinions
should be injected. The Israelites lost their country in 700 AD,
representing the loss of the number seven. Once we restore number
seven, it expands to the level of 70, 700, and 7,000, representing all
of human history. Do you follow?
God is giving you the great privilege that, instead of spending 70
years to fulfill your conditions, you can do it in seven years. If you
had to go through all 70 years living the restricted life which is the
standard of the Unification Church, you couldn't even marry. How could
we ever produce children? In the past, the highest religions practiced
celibacy, such as Buddhist monks and Catholic priests, but this is the
time when True Parents have come with the Blessing. Just by going
through the seven years' course, we can indemnify 70, 700 and the
entire 7,000 years.
Do you understand why this seven years' course was given to you?
Without fulfilling it, when you go to the spirit world, you will be
told, "You did not succeed!" You leaders here, do you
understand the meaning of the seven years' course? What do we have to
do in the seven years? We have to restore the material which was lost
to Satan. You should devote the first 3 1/2 years to the restoration of
the material world. You also have to restore yourself spiritually,
pulling yourself out of Satan's dominion, so that you can belong to
God. That's the meaning of the second half of the course. You have to
focus on witnessing for 3 1/2 years in order to restore yourself. To
begin with, you need three spiritual children and then 12. The three
represent the archangels, and the 12 represent Jacob's children, the
twelve tribes. Jesus had three main disciples out of the twelve.
Do you understand the meaning of the seven years' course? Have you
overcome Satan? Are your mind and body united and centered upon God
now? In order to deny Satan, you must deny yourself
100%. The best way is by enduring hardship willingly. Start from the
servant of servants' level and then go up. There are eight different
divisions both horizontally and vertically. From the servant of
servants, to servant, then adopted son, stepson, son, mother, father.
Eight levels all the way up to God. Horizontally, it is individual,
family, tribe, and BO on. We must go through that and overcome it.
That's the Principle way.
No matter how famous or successful you may be, you still have to go
through this course. That is the only way you can be admitted into
Heaven. Do you understand? Have you been in the position of servant of
servants, like a beggar on the street? You go out to the street and
raise funds while enduring persecution and mistreatment, and then you
must return that money to the church. You can get back what you need
from the church, but you shouldn't keep it for yourself.
This message is given for the first time to mankind. You can't find
it in any library in the world. Who can explain the relationship
between east and west in such a way? God and True Parents and also
Satan know this truth. Are you Western brothers and sisters willing to
sell your own house and car and marry some poor Oriental and live
together in harmony? What about you people with PhDs? Are you men
willing to marry a poor, uneducated Oriental woman and live with her
happily? No matter the circumstances, the west must follow the east. If
you deny this trend, your life will become miserable. Wait and see.
Instead of a seven years' course, your descendants may have to spend
700 years.
There is a cultural gap between east and west, as well as a great
material gap between north and south. Because of that, I am embracing
all twelve different human characters. At East Garden, the staff
consists of more than twelve different nationalities. I never
criticize or scold any individuals at East Garden. I could spend 24
hours a day pointing out things and explaining to the staff how they
could improve, but I never say anything. I feel that if they stick with
me for three years, copying what I am doing and trying to reach my
standard, they will eventually be revived. I ask you East Garden staff
members here, was anyone called personally by me and scolded? Even
though I could criticize, I don't. In that way, I am the most likable
person in the world but, at the same time, the most feared.
I do not lead and teach people primarily by speaking to them but
rather by showing them the way. This has been true throughout my life
and I will continue this way. Think about it. The people at East Garden
are rather constricted in their lifestyle. They don't dance, sing, or
do lots of things they might like. Your life is the same.
Within three generations, your descendants should be married to all
three races. That is why, when I selected a spouse for Kook Jin Nim, it
wasn't from the 36 blessed couples, 72, or 120, but rather from the 436
couples. As you know, at the last Blessing, thousands of Koreans and
Japanese were matched to one another. Soon you will see that many
thousands of Orientals and Westerners in the secular world will be
marrying.
Since the chief enemies of America during World War II were Germany
and Japan, perhaps Americans should only marry Germans and Japanese
now. Wouldn't that be logical in order to secure an east/west
relationship centered on God? In the future, within three generations
12 different nationalities and tribes will be living together. What
language will your family use? Suppose the grandfather speaks English,
the father speaks German, and the child Japanese. How could they all
communicate? That would be a problem. How complicated it might be!
You might solve the problem by having 12 different language
libraries. Is that ideal? How can we combine into one language? Who can
do this, the British grandfather or the German father? Nobody can do
this but the True Parents because they are the original ancestors.
That's why you must study Korean. If you don't do that now, your
descendants will have to pay the price. If each generation gives birth
to ten or twelve children, after ten generations, the descendants would
number one billion! Then what will be the model for your descendants?
Which is more traditional? It is the central root and branch. So
you've got to be centered on the main, central branch and root. That is
the original ancestors and their direct descendants. Isn't that true?
The central branch is True Parents' straight lineage. That's the way
your families and life will develop.
Why did the True Parents come from Korea? As you heard in my speech
last time, the fallen Eve country dominated the Adam country for 40
years. In regard to the vertical relationship, that of father and son,
Korea is the only country which is divided between north and south. On
the other hand, you can see that Germany is divided between east and
west, representing the horizontal, side-by-side relationship. If these
two countries-Germany and Korea-become united, then the entire world
will become unified.
West Germany, the democratic society, represents Adam who belongs to
God. East Germany represents Soviet Russia, Satan's side. They should
unite and become one nation. Adam on Heaven's side is represented by
the country of Korea, whereas Adam on Satan's side is represented by
Germany. The satanic Adam country is divided into east and west, while
the heavenly Adam country is divided vertically between north and
south. The heavenly Adam country has the responsibility to help the
satanic Adam country become unified. Therefore, South Korea should be
connected to West Germany and North Korea to East Germany. Then the
entire world will be divided between north and south, east and west.
Eventually the world will be unified.
The key is the reunification of north and south Korea. You can see
the similarities. In North Korea, there is one person, Kim Il Sung, who
is considered the "father" of the people. Kim Il Sung
recently tried to pass on his position to his son, instead of following
communist laws and having an election. This is a reflection of Satan's
side trying to mimic the heavenly way in advance of God's side.
This is the time of great change in the world. You have to
understand what is happening. At any given time in the past, one
central figure was solely responsible, but now it is a different time.
This is the time that the family as a unit is responsible. The
returning Messiah has to establish a family and expand it to the
tribal, national and worldwide levels. By the same token, this is the
time that each individual must work within the family unit and expand
it to the nation and world. The family foundation was lost at Jesus'
time because of opposition and persecution, but now you are not facing
that sort of difficulty. Now we can restore the family foundation. In
order to do that as a family unit, we go back to teach our relatives
and in-laws, eventually claiming the tribal level messiahship.
That's why you have gone out as a family to fulfill the mission of
tribal messiah. You are not working as individual leaders but as
fathers and mothers with families. Twelve people will belong to your
family. You will be restoring 20 years of Adam and Eve through the
formation, growth and perfection years. When you gain 40 members, 20
men and 20 women, that will represent ten couples. Number 10 is the
perfection level. When your membership increases to 40, then divide.
Four represents the four directions. Those who fulfill this tribal
messiahship by expanding numbers like that will be the ones who will
become the leaders of the Kingdom of Heaven on earth.
The world will turn around quickly now. People equipped with
Unification ideology will certainly become the leaders of the coming
world. The concept of nationality-American, Japanese, and so
forth-doesn't count anymore. Those concepts only exist before you are
married and engrafted. Once you are engrafted, you all live on the same
root, the same tree. After you are blessed, you must learn the language
of your in-laws. If you don't, you will go through hardship.
Now, again, this is the turning point from the traditional time
period. I have already established the foundation by paying a
tremendous amount of indemnity on my own for your sake. Now you have to
fulfill your own responsibility.
On the ideological level, Unification Thought is number one. No
other ideology will be able to compete. Once our own nation is
restored, no other nation will be able to compete with us. Our tribes
will be the best. Korean people are outstanding. That's why they are
always making trouble, in a good sense, for people elsewhere. Until 10
or 15 years ago, there were not many Koreans in other countries; only
about 130,000 lived in the United States. But now there are over
300,000 Koreans in the New York area alone. Some sections along
Broadway and Fifth Avenue, and parts of Flushing, Queens, have been
virtually taken over by Koreans. Korean billboards and store signs are
everywhere. This kind of thing is happening even in South America.
Koreans have become a problem!
Koreans are troublemakers, but not for evil; they make trouble for a
good purpose. Koreans are causing problems in an external way in this
country, while internally and spiritually, Reverend Moon has become a
huge controversy. Yet I look back and see that more and more people are
following me every day. It's a strange thing! Who made that happen? I
didn't do it. God did it.
In this time of restoration, interracial and international marriage
is very important. When your children and grandchildren are black,
white and yellow, how could you ever criticize anyone on the basis of
their race? God wants to see that time
come, so I am working to make that happen. Without such mixing,
there is no way to unify the entire world. Regardless of your skin
color, do you prefer to choose your own spouse, or do you want me to
choose? That means the unified world will be created if you will just
be patient for a couple of generations. You are young now, but once you
are 70 or so, you may see that happening.
Do you see any other religious movement in the world which advocates
and emphasizes marriage and family the way we do? The Unification
Church is the strongest in that respect. Therefore, we must go out and
take responsibility to fulfill and expand the messiahship. Once you
restore the tribal messiahship, you will be able to inherit the
vertical True Parents' and the horizontal True Parents'
accomplishments. Otherwise, there is no way.
You might imagine Jesus Christ living in this time. He would first
restore his family and then go out and restore his tribe, the
Israelites. That is the responsibility you are given now. You are in
that position. Do you understand? You are indemnifying Jesus Christ's
inability to stand as the tribal messiah. I have already paid enough
indemnity to restore the worldwide level messiahship, so you can
automatically inherit that, once you restore the tribal messiahship. In
other words, you are now restoring what Jesus Christ couldn't, the
tribal messiahship, and at the same time inheriting what the Second
Coming has accomplished during the last 40 years. You can inherit that
cosmic level.
In order to do that, the persecution and suffering of Jesus have to
be indemnified, as well as the past 40 years of persecution. Just as
Jacob's path was supposed to be restored by the Israelites, and Jesus'
path was supposed to be restored by Christianity, my 40-year course has
to be restored by the Unification Church membership. Once you restore
the tribal messiahship, I am ready to bequeath everything I have to
you. There will be no opposition or blockage to that. Do you
understand?
No obstacles lie in your path now. As you put your effort into it,
you will naturally be able to establish your family, tribe and so on,
prospering all the way to the cosmic level. Once the messiahship is
connected with True Parents, there is a natural expansion.
We can see now that the trend in the world is for communism to
become more capitalistic and for the free world to become more
socialistic. It is a crossing point. For example, the United States is
taxing the income of some people by as much as 70 or 80 percent. That
is close to socialism. The second generation of both the communist and
free world are claiming that they can't trust their elders-the
government leaders and their parents. They see the way the elder
generation has been living; it is lower than the animal world. They
want new leaders.
The crime of incest has become prevalent in this country.
Grandparents rape grandchildren, elder brothers molest younger sisters,
and so on. All sorts of sexual abuse is taking place, and thus we see
social disorders and mental illnesses. The younger generation has come
to despise the elder generation. When you can't trust your
grandparents, teachers, elder brothers and so forth, where can you
turn? You are like a floating leaf with no root. Your mind is seeking
some place, someone to trust.
This kind of separation takes place according to God's plan. It is
the time when God can replace the parents, teachers, and elder brothers
with His own people. That is how God can shorten this restoration time
period. Therefore, we should become bright elder brothers and sisters,
God-centered parents and grandparents, hopeful teachers for the young
people. We have to do this. Do you follow? This is the time.
Again, I am telling you clearly that this is no longer the time for
following individual leadership, but rather that of the parents, the
family unit. That is why I declared that the blessed couples should
return to their home towns and restore them. Unless you go back and
restore your tribes and people, you are not eligible to register in the
Kingdom of Heaven. The basic unit to enter the Kingdom of Heaven is the
family, not the individual.
When we speak of the Kingdom of Heaven on earth, the family level is
the foundation, and everything expands from there. We lost the Kingdom
of Heaven on earth because Adam and Eve lost the family foundation.
From that point, they lost the tribe, nation, world and
cosmos-everything. In this time, everything is being restored beginning
in the family. When we make that kind of foundation, we will be
protected by God. Satan can't attack us. Please understand that this is
the way we build the Kingdom of Heaven on earth.
Now is not the time for you blessed couples to just enjoy your
family life. If you pursue that path, you will be lost. We must focus
on restoring Canaan as a family unit. Without having that family and
tribal foundation, we can't expand to the national and worldwide level.
When the Israelites entered Canaan, they had to face seven enemy races.
But now there are no such tribes of enemies because I have already
established the foundation here. You will be welcomed wherever you go
because you are the center. The time is different.
The right side is now coming to the left, and the left is moving to
the right. As we said, the communist world and the free world are
changing places in so many ways. Why is this happening? It is because
enough indemnity has been paid and the internal foundation has been
established to create these external circumstances. The spirit world
and the physical world are spinning around the center. I directed 220
different nationalities in the spirit world to come down and work with
their own people.
In the future, even those people in the spirit world who were Mafia
members will have to come down and bring the current Mafia people into
alignment with God's will. That is the only way we can unify the entire
world. Even Satan has to serve True Parents now. God is making amazing
things happen on the earth. These are changing times.
I am warning you not to neglect gathering together for prayer
service on the first day of each month. We have to pray and work hard.
Don't just sleep while other people are awake and working. You are
supposed to be working harder and praying even more than I. That is the
way you can receive great blessing, like Jacob. Thank you.
