REVEREND SUN MYUNG MOON
SPEAKS ON
LIQUIDATION OR THE
COMPLETION OF THE
DISPENSATION OF SALVATION

Translator - Sang Kil Han
We don't have much time this morning, so please listen attentively.
Mother and Father are leaving early this afternoon.
We say as every day words, "We love God," but there is a serious
question we must ask, "What is the will of God?" For instance,
the world of traditional Christianity does not know clearly what is the
will of God. People in theological seminaries are supposed to be experts
in the will of God but they do not know it. Some famous person said, "God's
will is something easy to explain and something difficult to explain."
But that doesn't mean anything, it doesn't explain anything.
As Unification Church members, we know what the will of God is. It is
very simple: God's will is to complete His purpose of creation. We agree
on that, don't we? Then we must ask the question, "What is the purpose
of creation?" We know that it is simply the completion of the four-position
foundation of Adam and Eve. That means Adam will be completed in love,
and Eve will be completed in love-perfected, that is-and both will become
united in love and give birth to good children. Those children will grow
in love and form a perfect family centered on love. This is the purpose
of creation. Do you agree with that?
The will of God, simply speaking, is to complete the four-position foundation.
Then comes the question, what is the fall? The fall was something which
negated that purpose, something which made the four-position foundation
impossible. Therefore, God's will became that of re-establishing His original
purpose of creation. It has taken six thousand years of history to do it
again, to indemnify and liquidate the problems. To clear it up. To indemnify,
(tangam in Korean) means to liquidate or clear up. Indemnity is the only
way for God to restart.
One of the most difficult concepts for people in the Western world to
understand is this concept of indemnity. They ask, "Why, since God
is supposed to be only good in every way, does He make people pay the price
of indemnity?" They say, "We are all right. We don't need indemnity.
We are strong, we have an advanced culture and we have always been that
way. I don't agree with indemnity." But whether or not you agree,
success in this world means success within the satanic realm. If people
continue to disregard indemnity and its value, then the only way they can
go is down and perish.
The remedy is to go backwards. If you have done something wrong, you
have to correct it. If you have been using drugs, you have to stop using
drugs; if you have been engaging in free sex, you have to stop such activity.
Indemnity is the reverse way, and it is something which America and the
Western world needs very badly. This world cannot go on the way it is going
now. To discover how to deny and to negate the direction it is headed in
today is a very important task for us. Otherwise, we cannot accomplish
the will of God.
First we must know what happened during the six thousand years of God's
dispensational history. Then we must desire to indemnify it and return
back to God. Without that, we cannot return to God's schedule, God's track.
Therefore, we have to deny. The result of the fall was that Satan came
to be in the top position, and God came to be in the bottom position. How
can God go back to His rightful position? It is only by passing through
that zero point. Without going through the zero point, one cannot be restored
to the right position.
Here is the reason for that paradoxical statement of Jesus, "If
you die, you will live. But if you want to live, you must die". He
said, "Your enemies are the members of your own family. The ones you
love the most are your enemies". Why? Because of them, many times,
we do not go the way of Principle. This is precisely what has happened
to many of us: the ones who stop our advancement toward God are our own
family members. Our own relatives kidnap us to take us away from this church
because in this church, we come to belong to God's family. They do these
things because they do not understand. The purpose of this church is to
liberate the sons and daughters of God, as well as all beings.
Even within each person, our mind and body struggle; they always disagree.
The mind is drawn to the satanic side. But the mind has more of a desire
to go closer to God, whereas the body is further away from God. Both the
mind and the body of every individual belong to the satanic side, but they
should have been on God's side, as we know. So for the mind to go to God's
side, you have to go through here (drawing on blackboard) - that original
center point. The body also wants to go to God's side. In order to do that,
the individual man must first deny himself. By the same token, if a woman
with conflicted mind and body gets together with a man like that, they
will conflict with each other, just as the mind and body conflict. That
is because they are in the satanic realm. They disagree and lack harmony.
In order for such a family to pay indemnity and be restored, each individual
must deny himself and stop fighting with the other. No matter what happens,
he or she must not fight. Each sacrifices himself in that way.
When an individual is able to harmonize his own mind and body, he will
be able to form a family without conflict. That is a family in which husband
and wife do not fight. In order for an individual to be able to return
to God's side, he must realize this unity not only individually but also
in his family. Centering on that family, the clan must achieve the same
kind of harmony and unity. Therefore, unless the family attains this unity,
the clan can never attain it.
So there are three steps: individual, family, and clan. Through those
three steps, we can come completely into God's side. After the clan, we
know that the next higher unit is the nation. And the nation can be turned
to God's side. We understand the general concept of what steps we have
to follow.
We have to fight against evil within ourselves on the individual level,
family level, clan level, and nation level. We advance to each higher level
as we fight and win over the evil within. At each step, we have to fight
and win. These are not just my own words. This is history. History can
be described as the succession of this action. Finally, after the national
level is won, the world level must also be won.
The world is the same. We already know why the right and left wings
came into existence in the world from the very beginning. In order for
them to be restored, they have to go the original point, the zero point.
They, too, must deny themselves first in order to pass through this zero
point. Whether it is democracy, right wing, or left wing it doesn't matter.
Without exception, they must follow this formula and go through this zero
point.
To liberate hell, we must go the same way. To solve the individual problem
of good and evil is difficult enough, but to move hell itself and liberate
it is so much more difficult. It is easy to say the words, but how difficult
it is to do it!
People talk about the Last Days, they draw pictures of what they think
it will be like. What will it be like in the Last Days? One way to discern
that the Last Days are here is that everyone will be enemies with everyone
else. Even within the family, the husband and wife will be enemies, children
turn against parents. Then you can say, "This is the End Time."
Since this is the case between individuals everywhere, then no two families
will unite. Families will be enemies. Nations, also, will be enemies everywhere,
pursuing their own interests. So in that kind of situation, imagine how
difficult it would be to turn from that hellish world into heaven. It could
never be a simple task. Just imagine.
In that kind of hopeless world, someone bigger is reigning over each
person. That is Satan, striding right above each person, telling him what
to do, "Do this, do that. No matter how hard you try, you cannot win
over me. I am stronger." You all think about yourselves first, don't
you? That is Satan. You should think, "My way of thinking about me
first is from Satan." Then we have to ruthlessly contain ourselves,
"No, no, don't think about myself." We have to deny ourselves,
turning ourselves upside down. It is like standing on our head, with our
feet in the air. Nobody is comfortable with such a drastic change. Nobody
wants that, especially when they don't understand it.
How difficult, how agonizingly painful it must have been for God to
pursue these different levels of unity, turning them into heaven. We are
in that kind of situation today; God, too, is in that situation today.
Over and over again, we tried and struggled against Satan, with God hoping
for us to succeed, but we never did. Humankind never succeeded one iota
until now, even though God was always hoping for us to succeed. And God
is right beside us to witness that, so when we understand that, is God
a God of glory and comfort, or is God a sad and miserable God, even more
miserable than we are? He is more miserable than we are.
Think about it this way: each person lives only one generation and then
he dies. After that time, we are relieved of the pain of this life. But
God has existed and lived through one generation after another, over and
over again, endlessly engaged in this terrible war. Therefore, God has
been in terrible pain. How miserable has been God's situation! Nobody has
known that throughout history. If someone could have understood what God
was doing, God may have felt better. But nobody could figure out why God
was doing the things He did, or understood God's will. How much more miserable
was God!
Thus to attain salvation or to be saved, we cannot advance this easy
way (pointing to board?). We have to advance that way by going the impossible
way. Often, however, we don't know where we are going so naturally we walk
this easy, wrong way. God's task has been a desperate attempt to educate
people. During the historical time of the individual level of the dispensation,
God introduced religion to educate the individual and family. After that,
the time of the clan and the national level came. Accordingly, God introduces
new religious concepts, and through religion God attempted to educate human
beings, paying all the price of educating man.
So America is a nation within the Christian cultural realm, correct?
And American people have been proud that they were part of that Christian
culture, even though they did not know what position they are on. Did you
know that today Christendom is controlled by the left, by those who used
to be the communists? That element is controlling Christendom, but the
Christians do not even know it. Now, unfortunately as we see, this Christian
culture has been reduced to individualism, free sex, drug abuse and so
forth. Is that God's original ideal-free sex and individualism? Is that
Jesus' idea? No, clearly not. Those are enemies to Jesus. That is Satan's
idea.
What good will it do if the individual is saved while the family, clan
and nation are being lost? Nothing is gained because the individual has
no place to go. The individual is not a unit in Heaven. As a matter of
fact, the United States has even lost the individual, as evidenced by the
miserable condition of hippies and yippees. Why can the individual not
be better than that? America lost everything, even the individual. There
is nothing to be proud of in front of God. You are intelligent people gathered
here today, but can any one of you say to me, "You are wrong about
this country. We are still good." Can any intelligent person say that?
It is so simple and clear.
What is the way to solve this problem? It is by denying everything at
one time. At the same time. After that, all we remember, all we care about
is this: God and the completed four-position foundation of Adam and Eve.
That is all we advance toward.
If we speak about "true God," it may perplex some people.
They say, "What are you talking about? Do you mean there was a false
God somehow?" But we can explain what we mean by that. Until now,
almighty God was not the way He was originally. God is now the center of
salvation, rather than the original God of glory. He is working for our
salvation, but that is not the work He was originally supposed to do and
He will not be doing that forever and ever. People ask, "How can God
be persecuted? I can't imagine God being persecuted." But that is
exactly the case. God is lamenting and suffering. God is in a miserable
situation now. That is not God's original position. You cannot deny that.
Therefore, God is not True God yet. But now we want to recognize and realize
True God.
We are putting "True" to everything: parents, which were not
True Parents until now. Now we recognize True God, True Father, True Mother,
True Son, True Daughter, True Family. Everything is becoming true, including
God himself. This is what we must want because this is our goal. This is
where we are going to be saved. But what do the average people, Western
and Oriental, go after today in their lives? Comparing this ultimate concept
and goal with what they are actually pursuing, how many of these have we
been connected with? You know the answer well. You cannot deny any part
of that. You may say, "I will get to Heaven my own way somehow."
Is that practical or possible? Only after getting in here (pointing to
board) can we go over to Heaven, but not before.
Those who say, "Father, that's too complicated! Mankind should
not have to go through that," raise your hands. I will ask you the
question. Everyone here will agree with me, "Yes, Father, difficult
and unfortunate as it may be, it is all true." But are we unfortunate
people, or are we fortunate people? (Fortunate.) Only after meeting Parents.
We are fortunate only in the limited sense of being here, learning these
concepts and so forth, but if we don't live up to that standard, we are
just as unfortunate as anybody else in the world.
The topic of my sermon today is liquidation, meaning to clean up. So
these are the models through which we can end the indemnity, pay it all
out. We not only go through each level, but we also go above them. This
is where we should be. Are we there now, today? Yes or no? (No.)
So we see that God introduced humankind to religion, but religion has
never gone smoothly. Religious people have always been persecuted. God
himself has been persecuted. Religious people have had to live miserably.
God felt so sorry for them, and He could not help but give them aid. If
this was not so, God does not have to help only miserable people. But today,
the reality is that every truly religious person is miserable. So God has
to sympathize with miserable people, because He too is miserable.
What is God? God is the miserable king of the world which has fallen
into misery. Only because He is in the same situation of misery can He
save miserable people. My point today is that this is a reality. It is
imperative that you understand the position you are in today. Some people
don't want to think about it, but we must. We have to know what position
we are in today.
All religious people have been miserable. Look at the Israelites, who
were the first and central religious people in God's dispensation for salvation.
Were they happy and prosperous people or did they suffer a lot? Even at
this time, what is their situation? Why did the people of religion have
to be like that, the most miserable, in the mainstream of God's thought.
Satan will mercilessly strike those already miserable people because he
wants to stop that one in a million chance of succeeding.
This is all Satan's territory. Wherever there is the tiniest area of
God's influence in that territory, everybody comes and strikes at it. They
don't want God in there. They attack individually, by family, nation. We
have already seen this. But as more years go by, everything will be struck
by Satan. There will be even that day remaining.
But as Satan strikes you and me to kill us, we don't die. We survive.
Then Satan loses and we win. Satan cannot attack the resurrecting God.
Satan cannot strike us twice-that's the law of heaven. This is the apex.
So the Bible rightfully said that those who are willing to die will live.
What does that mean? If we don't understand this general situation, we
cannot explain that statement by Jesus, a very important one. Those who
want to die for God's sake will live because they will resurrect through
God's power. Indeed we will die without question, because Satan is powerful.
But while we are dying, we have to cling on to God. Embrace God and then
die. Death comes through Satan. I cannot live again unless God lives again.
Since God is resurrecting, I resurrect also. So when we go down to the
very lowest point, the very bottom, and still do not let go of God and
are willing to die with God, then Satan may kill us but when God resurrects,
we will resurrect too. We are one with God and Satan cannot touch us. This
is the resurrection. To be born again.
The dead person is on Satan's side. The resurrected, born again person
is on God's side. This is how the sequence of the birth order can be changed.
The first born one can become the last one born.
Now do you have a clear idea of the path history has followed? This
is a summary of history. Whose view is this? It is God's view. God looks
at us this way, and God looks at history this way. God's purpose is to
bring us right here (pointing to blackboard). Then who is God's son and
who is God's daughter? God's son and daughter are willing to go where God
is, to do what God is doing, and in this misery to plant God's heart, God's
tradition, God's lineage-God's everything. While they are doing that, Satan
will constantly come against them. They must not only go to the miserable
place and do good works of God, but also they must be persecuted. The individual
will persecuted me, the family will persecute our family, the nation will
persecuted our nation, all the world will persecuted us. Yet I (we) will
continue to do that work and will eventually succeed.
As we see, Jesus was the one who did that. He was struck on the individual
level, struck on the family, struck by the nation-all levels. Later he
was killed by Satan. When he died, he embraced God. He grasped God and
said, "I will do your will." And then the resurrection took place.
Then Jesus was lifted up to a different dimension and Christendom was spread
to the world level.
At the end of World War II, after America had won that great victory
and was in the most powerful position in the world, it was the best time
to establish God's foundation. America did not know this. America was ignorant
of the time. That is when America was ready to serve the Messiah who was
coming in the flesh. Just as he left in the flesh, he was coming in the
flesh. America was ordained to support him and help him reach out and save
the whole world. Just as America fought and lost a lot of lives, a great
sacrifice, we have to go through such a struggle-both spiritually and physically-in
order to serve the Messiah himself.
That's one point. The second point is that America was not blessed so
much for the sake of Americans alone. America was blessed for the sake
of the whole world. This was unmistakably God's intention. Clearly this
is the reason God blessed America. Yet once the white, Anglo-Saxon people
who were so richly blessed here in America started to declare, "This
is all for me. I don't care about the rest of the world," then America
will suffer. Due to the lack of food on this planet, 20 million people
are suffering from hunger and many are dying. And when they die, they die
accusing that rich nation of America-American people, American culture,
and even Christendom. What is the consequence if Americans continue to
live in such a self-centered, uncaring way toward the rest of the world?
The inescapable consequence is that American offspring will suffer. The
second generation will not grow up healthy.
These conditions are all very real, and at that point there is almost
no hope. At this point, Reverend Moon emerges bringing hope. If he does
something right, America can live. This is what we have to realize. By
clinging to him, he will change this world. Even though everything is occupied
by Satan, he will move to where there is less Satan. Now Reverend Moon
comes to re-indemnify the individual, to re-indemnify the family, clan
and nation. God already built the necessary base of indemnity through religion,
but that base was all washed away because of the failure at the end of
World War II. If America had understood the situation and had behaved accordingly,
then this kind of misery would not have had to happen. There would have
been no need to repeat it again.
Today there is only one person in the world who is teaching all these
concepts. That is Reverend Moon. There is no other philosopher, theologian
or religious leader in the world who understands about these things. Only
Reverend Moon has this kind of understanding and is bringing it directly
to America. This teaching was rejected and ultimately I was put in jail.
In that way, Father was completely denied, rejected. Since the jailing
of Reverend Moon, America is becoming even more hopeless. The whole world
has no real sense of hope.
Reverend Moon might have given up at that lowest point. But we know
why he cannot give up, why we cannot give up. So Father went into jail,
came out again and did all over again what he had been doing here for 20
years. Still it was pitch dark and people didn't understand what Reverend
Moon was doing. Now that is today's situation. Has anyone of you really
welcomed Father, beyond your life prepared to give up their life to welcome
him? Even the Moonies didn't respond that way. All the time, taking, taking,
taking. Only wanting to get into heaven without fulfilling the purpose
and so actually destroying the purpose.
Who is the one who really welcomed Reverend Moon from the first day?
Imagine. The presence of Reverend Moon is almost like a miracle by itself,
but have you ever stopped to think how much God and mankind had to suffer
and pay indemnity for this to happen, for Reverend Moon to come to America
and reside here? Do you really know how much suffering and indemnity is
there behind Reverend Moon?
You say, "Oh, Father, what you teach is so good and exciting, but
I cannot do what you ask." Have you said that? You may not have said
those words with your mouth, but what about your mind? Even today, how
much do you support Father, how intensely do you embrace me? You just think
about your own history-your kindergarten, grammar school, high school,
university. Your own family situation, your nation. That is what you always
think about. You stand with that as your center and then look at me and
compare. You deny but the contents of what I say are truth. You say, "What
should I do?" Then you give lip service to the truth. You know well
that this is true.
This nation of America went against Father so totally, and Father is
still shedding sweat here. For more than 20 years now, Father has been
here, 20 years of my prime time, for you-each one of you. What is the value
of each fallen person? As of today, it is trash, the trash of mankind.
There is nothing within you that you can say, "That part of my body
belongs to God." Think about that. You know what a really serious
position you are in today.
When I first came here, there was not one individual who could claim
to be victorious on the individual level. There was no family, no national
level representative. Father represented everything himself. I said to
God, "I represent mankind, I represent the individual, the family."
Also, when my work moved up to the national level and while communism was
still a power, the CIA and the KGB even joined forces against Reverend
Moon. America was even willing to couple with the communist forces to try
to hurt Reverend Moon. All the while I was working for their sake. Now
it is a historical fact that even in the midst of all that persecution,
Reverend Moon did not leave this country. Risking my life, I remained here.
Once Americans learn about this, they will become truly grateful for
tens of thousands of years to come. They know there is no way they can
repay their debt. This trash of mankind was picked up out of the garbage
can, brushed and cleaned off, nourished and turned into God's sons and
daughters. That is what I have been determined to do in this country. That
is God's intention, God's purpose of sending me here-to do just that.
I have done that exactly, teaching you and nourishing you. Now at least
Father should have a few of you standing on your own two feet capable of
taking care of this country America. And then I will be able to go back
to Korea. You think about it. America is in a crisis, as we know well,
but what about the rest of the world? What about Korea? What about the
unification of the world? We know what effort it is going to take to unify
the world. The world is God's agenda, not just a country, not even the
large nation of America. I know that as long as we don't die, so long as
we stand upright, America will not perish. God will save America so long
as we are here standing up righteously. Knowing that, Father can now leave
America and go back to Korea and tend to the more important business of
the world.
A lot of people want to make use of Reverend Moon, not necessarily in
a righteous way. It is like a boat floating on the sea of death. Everywhere
is the water of death, but once we climb into a boat, we can start paddling,
even with our hands and arms. We know where our boat should go. This is
the place of our hope-there (pointing to something on blackboard). That
we know, don't we? We know where we are supposed to go after here. Even
if we die without completing everything, we must pass this on to our children
and other members of the clan, saying, "What Reverend Moon is teaching
us is true. Abide by it. Cling to it." Then if we die, they will have
to do it since we didn't.
Even though American people might try, they can never uproot all the
things we have planted here during these past 20 years, including The Washington
Times and others. The way of thinking which has been introduced cannot
be uprooted. In all areas, not only religious but also economic, industrial,
academic-you name it-there is no area of human activity where Father's
thought is not implanted. Can you do it from here on, or not? (We can do
it!) If we keep ourselves alive and work hard in this direction, then America
will not perish.
Those who say, "Oh, Father, with or without our effort, America
will continue to survive. Nothing can cause America to perish," raise
your hands. I am asking for those who believe that America will be okay
without our worrying about it. Of course, no one here raised his hand.
Until now, all the bad elements of mankind have persecuted and opposed
those who pursued this path, this way. But from now, if we don't go the
way that God did in the past, then God will be the one who strikes us and
persecutes us, rather than evil mankind. That zero point is our route to
salvation. Do you understand? Liquidation or ending the salvational dispensation
is what God has been working for. This is what the purpose of creation
is. Now, anyone or anything that does not conform to this original form
will be not only persecuted but destroyed. God will destroy it. He will
judge each one and say, "No, you don't pass," if they do not
measure up. Those who don't pass cannot survive.
God is the Good One. "Good" means the Double God. Think about
it. How many people like that "Good" God. Do you understand this
concept of zero point? You have to go through that zero point. Each person
has to go through that zero point where we don't feel anything; we are
just there.
Now the communist world has been destroyed, yet still remaining is Kim
Il Sung, the "Father" of Satan's world. On God's side, the Father
is Reverend Moon. Satan cannot do any damage to the True Parents. Kim Il
Sung has been the ruler of North Korea for many years now and he has always
proclaimed himself as the father of his people. Doesn't it seem strange
that this "Father" on the satanic side and the True Parents on
God's side are all from the tiny little peninsula of Korea? Why was Korea
the site of this struggle? Why not America? Why not England? Why did God
choose a miserable, lowly nation like Korea? Korea had nothing, had lost
everything. It had no hope after World War II. The armistice table at Panmunjon
where the North and South Korean delegates have been meeting for discussions,
signifies complete denial, the zero point. "Panmunjon" literally
translated means a wooden gate, or meeting place. Now we have to turn it
into a golden gate meeting place.
Once Father puts up a golden gate instead of a wooden gate which the
communists have used to prevent free thought from coming in, Father will
never let go. What is your guess: If Father and Kim Il Sung get into a
wrestling match, who would win? I have already sized him up! I know I could
lick him. He is known for his big guts, but even there, he is no match
for me. It became apparent to both Kim Il Sung and me that I could save
him, but he has nothing with which he could help me. If I had had twelve
hours in which to speak with him, that would have been the end of it. I
could have explained everything to him and persuaded him. Once that happened,
communism would have been completely wiped out and replaced by "golden
thought."
Kim Il Sung used his power to kill four million Korean people and in
so doing he rose to the position of king. But I rose to where I am by being
hit and hit, over and over again. I could tell him, "By being struck
repeatedly throughout my life, I have been able to come here to meet with
you and I can save you." Because this is true, Kim Il Sung has to
kneel down. He cannot help but say, "Yes, yes, you are right."
Then he said, "You have a lot of foundation in Japan and America.
Please help us. We need that." But Father said, "No, you cannot
use me. If you use me, it will be terrible. I will turn around." (English:)
Father is going up to Heaven, but Satan goes in the opposite direction,
one hundred and eighty degrees the other way, down to Hell. This is God's
providential viewpoint.
Until now, America has taken Reverend Moon very lightly. They never
thought of Reverend Moon as anything, but they were wrong. They were so
arrogant. People didn't even bother to check out what Reverend Moon is
teaching. They just listened to Satan's voice and persecuted Reverend Moon
according to Satan's instruction. That includes all the governmental figures,
such as Carter, Reagan, and Bush. What if any one of them had said, "What
is wrong with finding out what Reverend Moon is teaching? I want to know."
No matter how strong the persecution was, or they thought it would be,
why didn't they check it out for themselves. That was their responsibility.
They did not check instead they put me into jail. Did I come here to America
for the purpose of having the leader of America do that? It is unthinkable.
This is not America's position. It is outrageous in this free country.
Is that the way a free country operates, to put someone into jail without
good cause?
The plaintiff in the lawsuit was the American government. The defendant
was Sun Myung Moon, one individual. The American government was prosecuting
a righteous religious leader. The whole country came against one individual.
So when they pay this back, they will have to kneel down. Without a doubt,
the people who hear the true words which Reverend Moon speaks will not
like them.
So they denied all the foundation which God worked to build so painstakingly.
Even though America did this out of ignorance, they still destroyed everything.
Father came to teach them, but they didn't listen. Big Moon, Big Moon,
Big Moon, every step of the way, is a winner. They struck me, even though
they didn't know me. Why don't you have a showdown with God? Why don't
you ask God whether Reverend Moon is saying the truth or not? God is the
only authority for such a question. This is the ultimatum to the Western
world on behalf of God. What I have spoken here this morning, even though
it is a humble place, will remain forever in the history of mankind. This
is a declaration: not the declaration of communism but the declaration
of the opening of the Kingdom of Heaven. (Applause.)
Now do you have this formula engraved in your mind: True God, True Father,
True Mother, True Son, True Daughter, True Family, True World. True Kingdom
of Heaven-on the earth first, then following that, in spiritual world.
This is very clear. Do you understand? In order to make this happen, you
have to deny yourself-your eyes, nose, mouth, ears, body and sexual organs.
Now let us get an overview of the dispensation. In today's time in dispensation
history, Adam needs to be liberated. This should be Adam's civilization,
Adam's world. Whatever he wants to do, he should be able to do it. Of course,
we are speaking of restored Adam, not fallen Adam. The original Adam from
history is dead. He died. Now we need the completion of Adam and the completion
of Eve, sons and daughters. Then there is no room for Satan to get anywhere
near. If all these family members are completely united, centered on God,
Satan is not around. Where there is no unification, there is no freedom,
happiness, peace or hope.
Let us examine this. When your mind and body are in severe conflict,
can you feel happy? Are you free in such a case? No, not at all. You are
coerced. The ultimate ingredient of peace is balance. When you are fighting,
you are not balanced so you can have no peace. If husband and wife fight
in the morning over some trivial thing or even big things, can they feel
happy the rest of the day? Certainly not. Let me repeat: Without unification,
there is no freedom, peace, happiness, or hope.
The communists preached peace, but then when they gain control, they
fight. They created conflict. Where is the peace in that? Communism is
built on the philosophical foundation of dialectical materialism, which
is false and doesn't work, as we know. Is there freedom in dialectical
materialism? No. Instead, people killed each other under that way of thinking.
In communism there can be no peace. Also, people under that kind of system
can have no hope. For such a world to go on and on, what could they hope
for in the future? Nobody has any hope.
But Unificationists are guided by the concept of united mind and body.
That is our goal. When they are united, people feel happiness. Upon that
foundation, we can find freedom, we can make peace and find happiness and
hope. Isn't that true? You know that now because your original mind has
been cleaned up and you have put in a new concept about freedom. From there,
you can achieve everything. Otherwise, there is no way. Hell is the place
where God's unification is not realized. What is Heaven? Heaven is the
world where individuals have completely unified their mind and body. And
man and woman are completed unified as couples. It is the place where parents
and children are completely one within the unified family wherein world
happiness and world hope are begun. Otherwise, there is no way. The first
question must be: how can we make family perfection? Only in this can everything
good be found. Do you have that kind of unification-of your mind and body,
of your family? (No.) No. The answer is absolutely no. NO means forever
zero.
When we go out to witness every day, we should visit people with our
unified mind and body. Also, we should have a unified couple. After that,
parents and children united creates the unified family. Representing the
family, that man or woman should go out witnessing. Every time, you should
have a unified foundation, not two minds, but a unified mind and body.
When you have that kind of unity, you can be proud of yourself, you can
assert "Me." Centering on this unity, it is all right to be absolutely
proud of yourself, of "me." But because fallen man lost God and
lost the ideal, then everything was lost. Now you understand how to restore
the lost self, the central, proud position.
You all want to be the number one person in your family, don't you?
Even your grandfather will look at you with respect. You want to be treated
that way, don't you? Your father and mother, as well as every member of
the family will regard you as the number one family member. That is good.
That is the ambition which God planted in our original mind. But how can
we achieve that number one position? It is only by serving everybody that
we can realize that goal.
So we are speaking about perfected and liberated Adam. Have we ever
seen before in history an Adam who was perfected and who was completely
one with God, or sons and daughters who became completely united with their
parents? What is your answer, yes there was or no, there was not. There
was not. Therefore, we have to search for that kind of family. And we have
to accomplish this. By finding them, then we have to learn the secret.
By following the teaching, following the right formula. We have to research
and investigate to learn what Satan's secret is and how he has been ruling
the world, how he been so powerful. That is what had to be discovered.
What Father did was to take Satan's secrets away from him, plundering them,
exposing them. Once I proclaimed Satan's secrets publicly, they were no
longer secrets. Now everybody knows the truth, particularly about the fall
of man. Before this time, no one understood the fall.
By knowing the truth, mankind can turn around and declare to Satan,
"You are not the king of this world. You are the king of evil,"
and they can kick him down into the dungeon of hell. As it says in the
Bible, the truth shall set you free. Now Moonies understand clearly the
secrets which Satan has been hiding behind. Those who know those secrets,
are they happy people or unhappy people? How happy? You are about to occupy
the entire world, including God. How happy must you be! You can say, "I
don't need the power of money because God is with me everywhere I go. I
don't need diamonds and jewels." Likewise, knowledge is no problem.
You are king of knowledge. What about power? When you go into the spirit
world, do you need money, food, knowledge or worldly power? No, you need
none of that. That is our home town forever. No matter whether you like
it or not, that is your destination. I know this truth well, so no matter
how strongly Satan's world went against me, I could stay strong. I was
shot at from all four corners of the world, but I never fell down. Finally,
after all these years of being shot at, I have just kept on going and at
last I am at the top of the world.
Now Reverend Moon is in the number one position. World leaders cannot
understand this. Only you Moonies can recognize Reverend Moon and his teaching.
Therefore, the outside world declared that you must have been brainwashed.
That is because you are standing on God's side, not Satan's side. That
is why you are abnormal people, in the eyes of this world. Are you really
on God's side? Really? You don't have that kind of confidence. Father sees
that in your eyes. You are complicated. That means you have taken that
kind of position, otherwise you cannot take the winner's position, the
victor's position. Father is a victorious man. I want to see you victorious
too. Victor means "forever," there will be no enemy that can
beat you.
So it is a declaration. When Jesus came, he denied the individual, denied
all the families, denied the nation, denied the church-he denied everything,
then, of course, he was crucified. So he has to come again. The Jewish
religion today is still waiting for the Messiah to come, believing that
they will be the ones to get recognition from the Messiah. That is what
they are thinking. The Jewish people, just like some of the Christian factions,
are waiting for the Messiah to come on the cloud. Since Jesus did not come
on the clouds, the Jewish people believed that he wasn't the Messiah. Basically,
that's what the Jewish faith is. Likewise, many Christians believe the
same thing today.
But I tell you, the Messiah will never come on a cloud. If someone comes
on a cloud and you cannot touch him, if he is as unreal as that, then can
he realize the four-position foundation? Can he ever get married and give
birth to good children? No, of course not. Can he ever establish the real
world without Satan, a world in which all people will be the sons and daughters
of God? If we ever disregard God's goal of the dispensation, namely the
God-centered four-position foundation, then God would absolutely be defeated
in human history. Isn't that true? We must have that four-position foundation
before God can become the victorious God. Logically, no one can deny that
the Messiah must come in the flesh, just as Jesus did.
If Jesus had had physical descendants, the religious world today would
not be as it is. There would be one lineage recognizing the elder nations.
In fact history would not have needed America, England, France. There would
be only one nation. Now the situation is so completely opposite from God's
original plan. Satan is occupying this world, not God. God has lost ownership.
(Writes on blackboard.) After the fall, these things have come into
being-bad lineage, and lack of ownership. Shimjung, or the Realm of Heart
is our true root. But now we have the wrong root. We lost the true root.
So we do not dwell in the true heartistic realm. Our owner is not God but
Satan. Our lineage is from Satan, not God. So how can we recover that lineage?
By following Reverend Moon's teaching. Otherwise, there is no way, there
is absolutely no way. Do you understand? How can ownership be exchanged?
How can love be exchanged?
We need to realize the starting points are different. Reverend Moon's
starting point is from God. All humankind's starting point is from Satan.
So we need to be cleaned up, one by one. We need to take out the dirt.
So don't forget these three concepts: first, whose lineage are you in,
God's or Satan's? Which side are you living on? You cannot stay in the
middle position. Ownership is the same-by whom are you owned? By whose
authority do you own something? The public concept comes from God. The
private concept originates with Satan. Centering on "me" is the
place where God's and Satan's ownership are decided, and we need to clean
ourselves up centering on "me." Taking the public way allows
the new, God-centered side to blossom. You have to choose that public way
each step of the way through life.
Think about it. What is the true root of love, the starting point? It
is not mother, not father, not husband or wife, not children, not the nation.
The original root of love is God. Therefore, you have to connect with God
as your love root. At that point you can truly be unified into one. Starting
from the inside of God's love root, you can sprout out with your own branches.
In this there is hope for the world. Flower and fruit stem from there.
That means there is hope. Making that branch. This is the natural way of
growth, the natural way of expansion when we start from the root, make
the main branch, many branches and from there, make the flower.
How many true branches do you have? Only one part? No good! How many
leaves, how many branches do you have in your position? No matter how famous
you may become, you have to make true branches. Centering upon family,
you have to make this into heaven. Out of every new sprout and bud you
have to make a victory of the family, then tribe and then nation. Heaven
is God's ideal of creation. Don't forget this. All of Father's lifetime,
I have followed this concept. I have been pushing Satan's side down-pushing,
pushing. I never kicked back. Even after falling down, even when I cannot
even put one foot in front of the other, and I just kept going forward-not
sideways or back, just forward. No problem for me. Even when an entire
country kicked me, including America, I went on. Communism was no problem.
I just continued going straight forward. This was God's concept and True
Parents' concept. Now this concept is clear. If you understand this concept
clearly, raise your hands.
Now compare your position with me. I am standing on the needle-point.
That is my kind of life, for seventy years. Not a safe life, not peaceful,
not happy, not a hopeful life. Only worried about how to connect the needlepoint
with all the places where the fight is waging-in the family, the tribe,
the nation. Then Father sought to raise up the world, raise up America,
raise up communism, raise up Kim Il Sung. You see, I have no enemy now.
In front of Father there is no enemy. Reverend Moon has come to that kind
of level. Isn't this true, or not? You know.
During this time, do you really know how much suffering Father has endured?
How much pain has Father suffered-Mother and children too. "Moonie!",
people yelled. A dark cloud followed you too. Satan was asking you, "Why
are you following Reverend Moon? You have no hope. The goal is too far.
You cannot reach it. Your habits are already good ones. You eat well. You
can drink wonderful wine. You can dance, dance the twist." The twist
represents the snake! Drinking wine and smoking. This drinking is always
connected with sex. Smoking is connected with sex. For example, a woman
comes along, "Please, do you have a cigarette?" "Yes",
replies a man. "May I have one?" She replies. "Yes, please."
"Oh, do you have a light too?" She lights and Father imitates
her inhaling the smoke. "Thank you". The man thinks, "Oh
this is a good chance to meet the woman." So they drink together and
go out. The thinking is, "Anything is OK, so long as I get what will
satisfy me." So they embrace and kiss. After that, they touch everywhere.
Satan's world stinks.
Sex is Satan's weapon for destroying God's ideal foundation. People
drop down into dungeon of hell. The single thread connecting all the elements
destroying God's ideal is sex. Originally the sexual organ was to be the
palace of love. That means it was also the starting place. The human sexual
organs were to be the true love palace. They were to be the connecting
place of all loving actions. In there man's life and woman's life are connected
into one. It is where the essence of man's and woman's blood become mixed
and from that the blood lineage is made by making sons and daughters. That
is the palace of love. That is how important, how precious love is.
Therefore how miserable did love become, how low did love fall? Who
can liberate mankind from such a position? That is the Messiah's task.
The Christian world believes Jesus will come down on the clouds, separate
out the believers and leave behind the nonbelievers and just fly off. But
the Bible says, "Whatever is bound on earth is also bound in heaven."
It is clear that earth is the place which must be cleaned up. This fallen
place is not heaven. This is the reason we need the True Parents. Jesus
himself needs True Parents. Confucius needs True Parents. Buddhists need
True Parents. Mohammed needs True Parents. All humanity needs True Parents.
Why? It is because we have to restore the most precious, most powerful
place which is the love palace, life palace, lineage palace. Those three
realms must be liberated by the religious world, the educational world.
Satan brought that down completely. How can we raise it up again? God wants
that four-position foundation re-established.
Now Kim Il Sung respects me, the ex-Soviet world respects me. This summer,
ten thousand middle and high school students and teachers will take the
Divine Principle training course. So the second generation will belong
to Father. Women and the second generation will belong to Father.
In past history, the winners of wars have taken women and children as
the trophies of war. Why? In the future God wants them. Man has killed
everything. But women embrace women and women embrace children. Satan cannot
take away that hope.
At the time of the fall, Eve took two loves, one is Satan and one is
Adam. So all women inherit this aspect, this concept. Of divorced couples
in America, who is the first to think about such a thing as divorce, man
or woman? Seventy-five percent of the time it is woman? Why is that? Adam
and Eve started all the current complications. Eve started that idea of
two husbands or more. Woman initiates these complications. You have to
know that clearly, how much Satan is using that secret weapon. All our
ancestors passing until this time. How much destruction! You think about
that. Understand that kind of concept cannot continue. We have to end it
so we can stand on God's side. You have to have that new kind of standard
and stand up for it. So centering on Father, you get married. No matter
how much noise people make outside, don't care about it. Know that you
are committed to God.
Many world leaders are now saying, "Reverend Moon has made a great
foundation for a victorious true love world." Many are praising Moonies,
right? That is reality, that is our hope.
You have to remember these three points: Blood lineage-how can you clean
it up? Ownership-how can you inherit it, taking it away from Satan? The
middle is not God's place. God is absolutely on one side. Third, love-how
can you clean up dirty love? How can we make it white and clean again?
We need bleach to get it white. You know well how dirty it is, how much
we have to bleach it out. You know better than God.
Should I continue? Do you recognize that for the first time in history,
the liberation, the perfection of Adam has been accomplished? (Yes.) (Applause)
For forty years, Korea wished I were dead. They tried to stop me through
persecution and so forth. Now all of Korea has given up trying to do that.
Likewise, in America for over 20 years, people have wished that Father
would be dead. It didn't happen. Now that persecution is over, too. Those
who would persecute now might get hurt. So the communists tried to get
together with the intelligence agencies of America and tried to kill Father.
Even today there is a trial going on for members of a team of assassins
sent to kill me. That trial isn't over yet. Now no Russians will hate Reverend
Moon anymore. For the first time in history, Adam has been completed. Even
Satan bows down now. Even Satan does not oppose me. (Applause) That proves
the completion of Adam, Adam's liberation.
What about Eve, then? With Cain and Abel at her breast, Eve followed
Satan and went to hell. They multiplied from individual to family, to clan,
and so forth. The whole human race fell into hell on earth. Then God started
to work with Israel. God cut this nation into two and guided Israel upward,
a little bit at a time, to higher and higher levels from tribe to nation,
world, cosmos and finally to God. So this was being restored. Restoration
takes place in that order, in that fashion. From hell to heaven.
Reverend Moon represents everything right here (pointing to one dot
on the blackboard). You know this meaning, don't you? He is standing right
here in the center. He takes all persecution. This is what had happened
at the end of World War II. Since then all of this had been established.
By fighting in World War II, and by winning, then unification was realized
at some level. If America had at that time recognized this dispensation
and embraced Father and served him, the world today would have been entirely
different from what we see. Already world unification and peace on earth
would have been realized. Communism would have stopped at that time. Another
forty years would have been the time of complete realization of the ideal
world.
Here Father can explain a little bit more. Satan sowed the seed in a
particular way, and so the fruit is harvested accordingly. England was
in Eve's position. The elder son's position was France. England is an island,
which represents feminine countries. England gave birth to America, which
developed in the position of Abel. France was the historical enemy to England.
On Satan's side, as we know, Japan was Eve, Cain was Italy and Abel was
the most formidable Germany. They all fought together to settle this. The
world of Satan's fruits fought against the world of God's fruits. World
War II was the judgment of fire as a settlement. It was won by God's side.
During the war, America did not know whether they would win or lose.
They forgot about everything, they denied their winning confidence, they
denied their pessimism, they simply denied everything. They just fought
with God in their head. The same was true of Japan. Japan didn't know whether
they would win or lose. Whoever would win would go through the zero point
and inherit that position.
At the beginning of history, Eve left with Satan, leaving God and true
Adam behind. In the restoration, there should be a true nation in Adam's
position. And there should be sons and daughters of Eve who will completely
obey true Adam, unconditionally. After World War I, that wife wanted to
meet the second Adam, and follow absolutely behind true Adam. It should
have become a different world. But standing in front of Adam's position
was Satan's world. Behind Adam should be women and children.
Do you know that America is the queen's country? Why? Because it has
wanted to meet the Adam at the time of the second coming. They're wanting
to meet a real husband, real king, on real heaven's side. But until now
it has been Satan's side. They have wanted to step on that man's position
and wanted to welcome the original God and real husband and parents, brotherhood
and children. Man's position is archangel's position. Woman's position
is God's daughter's position. That means in the future they will move into
God's country queen position. Do you understand?
American woman have ownership of everything-money, power, everything,
knowledge too. The other day I went to the graduation ceremonies at Harvard.
Women's power was big. Almost half the class were women. Now we have a
chance to change everything. You must use all this to save America. You
are teaching their children. Woman give true direction.
Now woman's position is a dirty one, like a beggar. But they have to
get to the parents' position, one of dignity.
Now is the time to exchange places. Woman's power lies in a different
place. Originally God's children were lied to. Do you understand? Now Satan's
side children have to completely change places, 180 degrees.
America must be reborn. What is the center? Woman is the center. America
must turn around by being reborn again. God's hope for the world is the
American foundation. This is really logical. No one can argue with this.
Then being unified and independent here, then upon that there can be
freedom. In this there is hope for world peace and happiness. This is the
future of the world. Based on unification they can take dominion, then
there will be freedom, peace, happiness and hope forever. Centering on
God, parents home will be there, original parent. From there they can connect
to the original country, world and cosmos. No matter what it is like now,
even a back yard type place, there is hope. God is making hometown nation,
hometown world, connect with one lineage. Upon that we will make unification.
How can you deny this, or must you recognize this as truth?
Realizing this, we must come here, change the lineage, change the love,
and changing the ownership. Also people must beg the forgiveness of Adam
who will come here. The purpose of this is true love. Restoration means
we are connected to the love of God. One God on whom all are centered everywhere.
This is the Unification concept.
The concept of independence was created for the first time in history
in the midst of Satan's world. There was only one such independent, Protestant
nation in this world. Who knew? I know that. I teach you clearly. It was
to be used as the future hope of the world. Father was sitting above America's
history, and as this did not happen, imagine the whole purpose of having
won the War, the purpose was lost.
Anyone can answer this: Who is closer to God, George Washington or Reverend
Moon? The answer is simple. So since America's forefathers must follow
Reverend Moon respectfully and obey Reverend Moon, then so should their
descendants. There is nothing funny or unnatural about that. They are doing
that in the spirit world.
Now Father said this and you may not feel so bad as you used to twenty
years ago, when Father first came and said, "America is on fire! You
cannot provide the fireman for your own country, so I came as the fire
fighter. America is sick and since you cannot provide a doctor, I came
as the doctor." American people outside the church really didn't accept
that, they didn't like to hear those words. They thought, "What do
you mean, you are a doctor, a fire fighter?" They said, "I am
proud of this country. What are you talking about? You are from that backward
country of Korea. How can Korea now be helping America? America has always
been helping Korea, so you should take the normal way and say thank you
to America. You are bad, bad!" That is how many Americans felt about
me.
But the holy man does not come from a holy place. The holy man comes
from the dungeon of hell, from the most miserable places. This is understood
from history. In that way, the holy man shines brighter. That way he can
affect high level people and influence them. Today, after indemnity, Americans
may not feel so bad as they used to before.
After World War II, America took a sharp turn down. Now, unless America
becomes one with Reverend Moon, it is destined to go down. Reverend Moon
is the only one who has accomplished this four-position foundation. For
six thousand years, how much patience it took to re-establish the original
husband's position. Father did that, centering on God. Be connected and
reborn again and get the real children's seed. Then the true family will
appear. Otherwise there is no solution. If America had given complete support
to Reverend Moon, saying "You came for the purpose of realizing history.
Do whatever you wish." If he did that, the whole world would have
been into peace and unification in a mere seven years. That is what God
intended.
There was a man who was instrumental in destroying Father's work by
stopping Father from reaching out to Yong Se University and Ew Wha University,
and reaching the second generation. Inheriting from Father. That was Syngman
Rhee, and he met his fate because of indemnity. American power also came
down and down, making bad rumors and worse. It was terrible. They worked
very hard to destroy Reverend Moon's name. All American people followed,
Korean people followed, all the free world even connected with communism
in order to oppose Reverend Moon. But Father is clever. He didn't fight
back.
Now Satan's power is retreating step by step. This is today's reality.
Take for example the PBS documentary. They tried to discredit Reverend
Moon again, trying to push him into a corner. But as soon as we explained
what Reverend Moon was doing, it really looked good. Also the viewing audience,
knowing that the program was supposed to make Reverend Moon look bad, thought,
"What is so bad about him? He is right! He's great!" Now people
are saying, "We have to follow him." Isn't that the way the world
is changing now? Who is going up now? It is not the American president,
but Reverend Moon.
At the celebration of the tenth anniversary of The Washington Times,
I went down and announced that one billion dollars has been invested in
The Washington Times for the sake of America. They were really flabbergasted,
virtually unable to believe it. They just stood up and gave an ovation.
They were unable to stay seated. Why? Because they felt the shameful position
of America in front of God. This nation with all its millionaires didn't
spend even one dollar for this central purpose. So Father is again grasping
America, determined to save this country and not let it fall back down
into the trash can.
Satan was about to take America, England and France. The first Israelites
were lost, so the second Israelites could easily have been lost. Then everything
would have been lost. If that had happened, then the third Israel would
have been completely and totally without a foundation to stand upon. So
Father took America back for God, determined to save it. This time, it
was not God who did that task but Reverend Moon. For the second time, America
was held up. This second time is Reverend Moon proclaimed, "I will
take America back from Satan and bring it to God."
Actually Satan took everything-England, America. Since Father knew that
he could not re-establish that origin where we could take back all the
tradition of God's work, so Father decided to take Abel's country, which
was America. Even Satan, too, if he does not take Eve or someone in Eve's
position, then he of course would have lost the most important thing, that
is the head position. Satan's most favorite country, Japan, was in the
tail position. To claim the head and the tail was the strategy by which
Satan wanted to control the whole world. Realizing this Father, on God's
behalf, took it. He took Eve, Germany and Italy. So you know why Father
did that-why Father took America, why Father took Japan, why Father took
Germany and Italy?
With Korea, being in the position of Adam, and Japan as Eve, America
in Abel's position and Germany in Cain's position, Father struck back.
He fought back against the whole world which is the harbinger of Satan.
Satan's strategy was very clear. They would stain Father's name so bad-worse
than that of a burglar, worse than a killer or anything possible to think
of-so that the Unification Church and Reverend Moon could not wade out
of it. That was their very successful strategy for a long time.
How many people has Reverend Moon killed? The CIA, KGB and everyone
had to admit that I never killed anybody, not one soul. Did I ever rob
anybody? Certainly not. Did I ever attack any woman? Certainly not. All
Father did in this country was to shed tears, sweat and blood to save this
country. A billion dollars means one thousand times one million. That is
a staggering number. All the while Unification Church members lived like
beggars. That was not because Father didn't have any money to give them.
There has been money at our disposal, but my goal has always been to liberate
God, not to liberate the Unification Church members. That is why I have
not given money to Unification Church members. This strategy is the only
hope to turn America around. To do that, I knew we had to put everything
we had into The Washington Times and all the activities we have been doing
here. While encouraging the members to suffer and suffer more. Such a lonely
path we have followed until now. But now is the time of dawn, things are
becoming lighter. We can see things more clearly. People can look around
and see, "Moonies are the righteous people, they are only good and
are doing good things." People will begin following you, centering
on you more and more. They will say, "No matter how difficult it may
be, we are going to follow the way of the Moonies." That is the new
America that is being born. This is a new morning. Otherwise, there is
no way, absolutely no way.
Since Father took America, who should liberate America? Not God, but
Father has to liberate America. Since I came to America until now I have
been pushed down, pushed down and rejected, but I never decreased, I never
shrank away. I always stood up strongly, teaching and continuing. American
people are basically smart and they have potential. If really smart NBC
staff studied this seriously and turned around and reported accurately
to the American people, so much would change. We know that if nobody does
it, we will do it. We have an elaborate broadcasting station in Washington.
Since I took America and pledged to save America, I could not let it go,
I could not let it get washed out. Father's intention was to bring a rescue
party here from Korea, Japan, from seven different nations such as England,
Germany and so forth. By having all those formerly enemy countries come
here showing the example that there is more than just the American way
of thinking, they would exhibit a universal way of thinking. So Father
show them and encouraged them to put more heart into this nation than the
Americans themselves. Patriotism in other words. We made that kind of foundation,
can go back then. Turn around 180 degrees. Kingdom of Heaven.
Creating one country, one heart, true way. True Parents are making one
terminal point, not two. Will that be America which God will bring to the
terminal point. No. America has its mission elsewhere.
Americans have loudly complained, "Why did you have to bring so
many lowly Asians over here. We don't like that. We have a much more sophisticated
culture of Christendom!" American youth didn't understand what Father's
intent was. They thought America was much better than any other country
in the world. But this is why Father brought them over. Do you follow me?
Really? Following means every time acting. Can you do it? (Yes!) Doing
it doesn't means you have already completed it, in fact the completion
is far away. You are going to do it. ... Father knew if the people from
enemy nations came to America and dedicated more of their heart here than
to their own nation, then Satan would have to retreat. This strategy has
worked. I know that. Satanic "common sense" dictates that one
enemy will fight another enemy, and nobody showed any other example. Nobody
taught that enemy nations should love one another, more than they love
their own country. Only by Father's strategy, by the love of God, could
we succeed.
With all things considered, the Japanese people gave more to America
than the American people themselves. More people came and they worked harder.
Europeans, too, came here and really worked seriously, more seriously than
Americans. Many Americans didn't like their Korean regional directors,
saying, "Why don't they go home! Why can't an American be in that
position?" Now, even today if I said, "All you Korean leaders
go back home," do you think Americans could handle it from this point
on? You American leaders, answer my question: Do you have confidence if
that kind of situation arises? Answer clearly! (Not yet, Father.) Not yet!
Answer me one more time. (No!) That's not K-N-O-W, is it? It's N-O. The
CARP leader must answer honestly "No," or else he is ignorant.
Is there an American leader here who can say, "I disagree, Father.
I can do just as good a job and even better than any Korean or Japanese"?
How formidable is Reverend Moon's power!
Do you understand that the power of Reverend Moon is not centered on
myself? It is centered on God. I am not going "Reverend Moon's"
way. This is the way of truth which must be followed by everybody in the
world. Everybody in spirit world follows this way. Do you follow?
Now the gate of peace is open. Wherever I go, whether in Korea or Japan,
America or Russia-staggering numbers of people have been taught about God's
way of life. No enemy is now blocking my way. (Applause.) According to
the Principle, Adam is the center of everything-and he is the beginning
of everything. So even Eve, Mother, until such time does not take an equal
position with Father. She has to tag along with Father wherever he goes,
whatever he says, she must agree with. This is what Mother has been doing.
The tradition which Father established also had to be followed by Mother.
There was no Mother's tradition, per se. Because if she claimed that, then
Father is fighting, anybody standing there would be hurt. It is not wise
to do that. Mother follows Father.
We have seen this over and over again in history. It is the man who
comes and fights and wins over, then all the women and children will follow,
taking the same position of winner, after winning. So Mother was like my
shadow. Wherever Father moved, Mother moved. Father steps on his right
foot, Mother steps on her right foot. Now Eve has restored her dominion.
After winning over completely, now Father brings the women on his side,
on his left side, to represent him and to represent herself, too, to the
whole world.
Because of that, the True Familyship has now been restored and we are
entering into the family unit of life. Therefore, Father appointed Mother
as a formal representative. Then Father organized the Women's Federation
for World Peace, where the women become the center of activity. By doing
this, then all history from past to the future, anyone and everyone will
form their family and work and live as a family unit.
Since Mother followed Father absolutely, Eve followed Adam, without
any dissent, she faithfully obeyed and followed, and fought side by side
when he had to fight. So now heaven on earth is the expected thing. It
is a natural thing. Before the fall, there was Adam, Eve, the three archangels,
and God. Three archangels in the sight of God, in the country who is in
that position are: America, Russia, and China. Centering on Eve. That's
a map of Japan Father is drawing. So Korea also wants to own Eve. Adam
wants to possess Eve. And the archangels, China, Russia, and America, all
want to possess Eve. Is that true? America does not want the north and
south of Korea united, nor does Japan. Did you know they don't want that?
But China and Russia, knowing America and Japan don't like it, are eager
to see it happen. And who can make a positive influence to see that happen?
Not Kim Il Sung but Reverend Moon can do that.
Now I took that kind of powerful role. America cannot do that. Japan
cannot do that either. Nor can China or Russia. But Reverend Moon can!
(Applause) Jesus' body was lost in Asia. Originally Jesus did not take
that cross. Originally Jesus was meant to join with the Oriental world,
the religious realms that God prepared in the Oriental world-India, China
and all over. They were supposed to combine into one Oriental world. So
God's work to perfect humankind is done in the religious world, starting
with the Asian world, not the western world. After Jesus died, Christianity
went to the West, but the original direction was toward the East. Going
to Rome where the western world represented the body, the outside. Not
spirit. Completely lost spirit world foundation. That spiritual foundation
was meant to come from Asia. This was God's original concept.
Now Western newspapers want to go to Japan and the Asian world, and
discover their secrets. American people even want to marry Orientals. No
matter what kind of problem they have, they still have strong spiritual
power. They stand on God's side. No matter how beautiful the husband is,
they are like grasshoppers, American are like grasshoppers. But when autumn
time comes, automatically they are destroyed. Anyone doesn't like that.
Japanese are like ants.
But Moonies are smart, they have turned around one hundred and eighty
degrees and want to marry and connect with the Asian world.
Wintertime, summer, no matter how difficult it may be, you have to follow
otherwise you will go down and will perish. You cannot make excuses. American
women or American men? You memorize that. No matter who hates me you have
to make a strong foundation. That is God's hope for one direction. You
cannot accomplish any other way.
In the Garden of Eden, centering on Eve, with beautiful skin, naked
body, breasts good, everything beautiful, there were four men standing-
the archangels and Adam looked at Eve. They made trouble.
In this time, Korea is in the Adamic position. How can we connect with
the three archangels? America is archangel on God's side. The others are
on Satan's side. Reverend Moon is going to make a four position foundation
by catching Eve. But Japan is fighting to destroy the Moonie foundation.
But they have no right to take such action.
Father made an exchange marriage two years ago between Korea and Japan-like
exchange students, exchange marriage. Adam took Eve. The Adam's position
took the next generation's sons and daughters. Japan and Korea, Adam and
Eve making one family foundation. Also the archangel. They thought, "No
matter how proud Reverend Moon might be in taking that action, he'll never
really be able to do that". Now what do the three archangel position
people think about that?
Father had to do this otherwise they could not go the way of indemnity,
and then the same fallen patterns would be repeated by the archangels.
The unification of Korea and Japan is essential to settlement.
We can say to North Korean Kim Il Sung, "You are not the center
of Japan, America you are not, Soviets you are not, China you are not.
Only Korea can replace that place lost by Jesus and the religious world-the
spiritual center of Asia. Unite elements from both and embrace people from
both sides by standing in the parents position. That is fulfillment of
Jesus mission. After marriage, people attain Jesus position and then they
can have children, multiplying them. Who can do this? Not Israelites, not
Judaism, only Reverend Moon-ism. Only Unificationism. In this, Satan's
position standing against God is destroyed, washed away.
I met Kanamaru and Nakasone. Father told him, "I don't want to
hear your words or anything about your position. I know you well. But you
don't know me. You haven't heard me talk." They agreed, "Yes,
as you like." Just like a primary school boy. Bless him! He was good.
No matter if your country comes against me, or the free world comes against
me, you can't take the victorious way. Only Reverend Moon has actually
gone the victorious way. The other way is the way of defeat. It is a shadow
way. Only the rising sun can cover the darkness. There is no darkness any
more.
So who knew Father was indemnifying centering on these histories? No
American leaders knew, no religious leaders knew. To consummate this 6,000
years of indemnity, to carry on the history of indemnity and to make this
foundation, God had to give away and sacrifice many religious groups, many
nations, many families, many individuals. Many had to shed their blood.
We are standing on that foundation. Can any intelligent American deny that?
You cannot.
We are the harbingers, the ones who learned these things before others.
Those who learn before anybody else must fulfill his responsibility or
his consequences will bring greater and more severe punishment than others
in history. This is the light house in the darkness, and this is the center
of judgment. This is the one who saves the declining people. Only through
us can they be saved. We should be in the position to represent and save
the world, so how can we ever say we cannot save our own country? When
we are in the position to represent and save the country, how can we say
that the clan is too big for us to save? How can we say our family or our
individual self is too big for us to save? We cannot do that because our
position is to represent the world and save the world. Namely, you and
I, as Unification Church members. This is the privilege of all privileges.
This is authority of all authorities. We are given authority and privilege.
If we take it lightly, then there should be consequences very different
from what we would like. This is the rule Father went by, too. I knew what
I knew before anybody else understood. If nobody, not even Satan knew,
how could I do anything but what I have done in my life?
Where there is an open guarantee to participate in the celebration in
the kingdom of heaven, how more joyously can we go this path of indemnity?
There are so many critical, desolate deserts, Death Valleys, that we have
to go beyond and win over. But we are on an airplane, God's airplane, so
we don't have to trudge on foot through all this. How wonderfully fortunate
we are! Some walk for many thousands of years. But now we can fly on an
airplane or a helicopter, soaring high above the deserts and going a thousand
miles at one time. But the love speed is the fastest of all. It is so fast,
we cannot see it.
You like that airplane of the Gospel? You American people are accustomed
to good things, so you want that. But the champion usually walks, fighting
with both hands and feet. Can you imagine the training of a champion? After
becoming a champion, it's different, but until you get to that level, training
is so difficult. You can only imagine what it is like. There are twelve
different directions of Satan, twelve different months. He will attack
this direction, he will attack that direction, and you are supposed to
dodge that every single time. So every month Satan will flee.
God wants us to win the championship. Multiplying that championship
from champion children to champion family, champion nation, champion world
and cosmic champion. God has the same ambition and imagination as we do.
He wants us to become such champions.
Those who really pledge, "Father, I learned so much today. I will
now do with all my might, I will push myself forward with all of my might,"
raise your hands. Hold up your hands as you listen to this: Mother is fighting
in Korea under the banner of the Women's Federation. By embracing the women
and embracing the same women within Kim Il Sung's realm, then together
we can subjugate Satan.
Kim Il Sung needs woman, since he is the archangel. Being the archangel,
he wants to connect with Mother, and by Mother being successful and resolving
more problems, he can stand in his own position. Father can naturally stand
in his position, too. Adam.
By the woman's world uniting with True Father, then there is no division
between women and Adam. So there is no one left to unite with the archangels'
position. Then the archangel does not have the partnership required to
perpetuate Satan's realm. Instead, the archangel can then be reborn completely.
So with Adam and Eve's family completely dedicated to God, then those women
and children from these three nations, combine and say to Mother, "Please,
we want to help Father". After that God can bless Adam in the husbands'
position. So then man's world and woman's world will be completely on God's
side. There will be no place for the archangel in human relationships.
So, centering on the family, this is the beginning of the kingdom heaven.
Mother is fighting that kind of invisible war, so to speak. Mother is starting
that today, Father's children, too. Daughter and son. So position of the
elder is being restored, position of the true parents is being restored,
and kingship is being restored. After that, royal family position will
be restored. Standing on the family foundation, elder son's country, then
true parents' country, and royal family country can be established as was
God's original will. This will connect this world with the next world.
That is the original heaven on earth, and in the spiritual world too. Completing
this four position foundation, completely reindemnified.
This will end the history of the dispensation of indemnity. All the
different eras of history will shout Mansei! "Mansei! Mansei! Mansei!"
God bless us!
