REVEREND SUN MYUNG MOON
SPEAKS ON
TOTAL CALCULATION OR
ACCOUNTING OF GOD'S
HISTORICAL PROVIDENCE
December 25, 1994
East Garden
Translator - Peter Kim
Is there any non-Korean brother or sister who is able to read the
title of Father's speech this morning -- Hananim eui sopliyuksa eui
chongkyolsan? [Peter Kim begins to translate the title from Korean
but experiences difficulty.] I want to say, "Total accounting" but that
doesn't fit. Total Calculation or Accounting of God's Historical
Providence. Father wonders if the word "accounting" or
"calculation" is correct. The English language does not contain the
right word in order to translate this meaning correctly. [Peter Kim
says, "Well, I'm having a difficult time from the beginning."]
(Laughter.) This shows just how impossible it is to translate from one
language to another and, in particular, from Father's language into
English. Since Father speaks Korean, then this will be the original
language that scholars in the future must study in order to discover
Father's teaching. They will have to master Korean in order to do
that.
In the future the scholars from the world may ask you on which page
they may find Reverend Moon's comments on True Love or some other
matter. In that case you should be able to answer. Then they will ask
which version you are referring to, the original Korean version or the
translated version. If you refer to the original Korean text, then you
will have more authority to convey the message. There will be a big
difference between those who are able to read the original text and
those who can only read the translated version.
As you know, in order to be able to understand the Western
civilization and culture you need to understand Latin. Latin is the
base of Western languages and civilization. By the same token, Korean
will be the language that will reflect these things for us. History
passes, but the truth of each time period will be remembered and will
represent that particular time in history. There must be an historical
framework; otherwise, once the time passes, the truth and everything
else may pass along with it. However, as long as there is an historical
standard then the truth will remain and return to the original
position. We must understand that history never dies but rather lives
with us. The true historical events will remain in eternity. However,
false historical events will disappear quickly.
Who lives with the truth historically? You don't need to answer
this question because history itself will prove it. [Here Father
corrects Peter Kim telling him not to lean towards Father. While
translating he should stand still and use gestures just like Father,
centered upon Father's message and words alone.] As Father has said,
history is living with us. The critical point for us is to leave
either our living or dead history behind us. For example if American
people and American history live with certain truthful and desirable
historical facts, then they will be remembered. However, during a
certain time period American people may deal with and create a false
history and consequently be quickly forgotten. This same principle can
be applied to the individual and family levels as well. As an
individual and family, if you live up to the true historical events and
facts, then you will be remembered.
If we expand the horizon of this application, then what kind of
life must we maintain if we consider a life for God? Human history must
be hinged upon and centered upon God's will. Due to the Fall, human
history was not begun centered upon God. When we look at the history of
God's providence, was there a time when God won the victory? Centered
upon the ideal of God's creation, the family of Adam emerged. However,
did Adam's family achieve God's ideal of creation? No. Why? Because of
the Fall. Therefore, no matter how much human history may have been
glorified up until this point, it does not have anything to do with
God's will. The fallen world has done nothing to enhance God's
Providence. It was a history of tragedy and misery.
America enjoys its position as the superpower controlling the
entire world. How many days will it last? Nobody can be sure. Is there
any American citizen who can claim that the nation of America will last
forever? We must understand in order to continue our life we should not
boast about American culture and tradition. Rather we should emphasize
what kind of culture and traditions American culture should have
originally adopted. Looking at the history of God's providence we see
Adam's family failed, Noah's family failed, Abraham's family failed.
Because of the failure in conditional offering then Isaac had to offer
the substantial offering of himself. Abraham was about to kill his own
son in offering to God. Due to his failure in the original offering
Abraham created room for Satan to intervene. This lasted for 400 years.
Looking at the life of Moses we see that he too failed in the
wilderness course. At the time that the Israelites were ready to enter
into Canaan, as you know, Moses offered a desperate prayer to God. Yet
God did not accept him and so he was unable to enter into Canaan with
the second generation. Because Moses struck the rock twice it destroyed
the entire history of Israel. He offered a condition whereby Satan
could invade the body of Jesus Christ.
When we study the course of Moses in the wilderness, at the time
when the Israelites were bitten by the snakes and lost their lives,
what did Moses do? He raised up a bronze serpent so that whomever
looked upon it could survive. By the same token, in his time, Jesus had
to sacrifice his own body in order to give spiritual salvation to
mankind. Just as Israelites were bitten and killed by the snakes, so
Jesus Christ offered his body in order to save mankind. Those who
believed in Jesus were spiritually saved through his sacrifice.
Therefore we can say that the life of Jesus was also a failure. Of
course John the Baptist played a large part in that.
America is representing the entire worldwide Christianity which is
in the position of the bride religion. Therefore, America, centered
upon the bride culture of Christianity, was supposed to welcome and
receive the bridegroom who came as the Messiah. However, it failed in
this mission and, in the last forty years, America has been declining.
In all of human history there has been only one time when the entire
world was culturally united centered upon the bride culture of
Christianity. That time was right after World War II. That particular
foundation which consisted of the entire world culture centered upon
the bride culture of Christianity, was supposed to be offered to the
coming Messiah who comes in Adam's position.
Because of the Fall, human history has been a fallen history.
Mankind did not start out with the true seed of True Life, but rather
with the seed of false life. Even though we have over five billion
people in the world it has nothing to do with God. Since we are all
wild olive trees, we need the bud of the true olive tree. We need to be
cut off and engrafted into the true olive tree. This is the only way to
go back to God. If you accept the fact of the human fall then this
result must be accepted also. Without doing so you cannot go back to
God.
If the Fall had not occurred, beginning from Adam's children and
grandchildren, generation after generation was supposed to live the
True Life and automatically enter into the Kingdom of God on earth as
well as in heaven. There would have been no wild olive trees. Every
single tree would have been a true olive tree. But due to the Fall
every single tree became a wild olive tree. This meant the central bud,
trunk and root all became false, directly connected to Satan's lineage
rather than God's. This is absolute logic that no one can deny. In
order to get out of this situation we have to first separate ourselves
from Satan. The purpose of God's history of salvation is to show
clearly how to cut out Satan's involvement in human life. In other
words, it shows how to root out the wild olive tree root and cut off
the wild olive tree bud, trunk and root and engraft into the true olive
tree's bud, trunk and root. That has been the history of salvation.
Unless we can turn around the history of God's providence into success
we cannot come up with a total accounting of God's providence. We must
turn it around.
Without knowing all of the details of the failures at each stage
from Adam's family, Noah's family, Abraham, Moses and even Jesus, we
cannot pursue the history of restoration at our level. We cannot just
assume something may be true. Rather we have to prove, through our
action, experience and result, that it is absolutely true. Otherwise we
will be unable to conquer this satanic world and separate Satan from
our lives. We have to clearly understand and come up with a 180 degree
different solution. One way was towards hell and the other is towards
heaven. Without knowing how and why Adam's family failed, how can we
even think about the history of restoration? Without knowing the
details of all of the providential families, we will be unable to come
up with even a notion of reaching to this Total Evaluation of God's
Providence at this point.
Adam was supposed to be the True Parent but he failed. At the
moment of the Fall he died. How can that position be restored? We have
to restore Adam to life so that he can become the True Parent and save
the entire world. Without this we cannot even contemplate the history
of God's providence. We must remember one thing: God and Satan have
been aware of the details and every stage of the Fall of man, yet
mankind has not known. As long as mankind is ignorant of the Fall,
then God cannot do anything about it. That is the kind of agony and
manipulative abuse that mankind had to endure from Satan up until this
time. Not only has humankind been abused by Satan, but Satan has also
been constantly accusing God. Satan charged that no matter how powerful
God might be, He could not complete the restoration of mankind. How
miserable God has been.
Who is able to dig out all of these historical secrets and reveal
them to the world? That has become the historical test. God has
provided the concept of Messiah from the Old Testament age, through the
New Testament age until now for that one mission: The mission of the
Messiah. Father's question is, since the entire humanity is living in
the world of failure do we need the Messiah absolutely or just because
it might be better to have him? (ABSOLUTELY!) How absolutely? We must
understand that even if we have to deny everyone from the individual
level to the entire cosmos, the one thing we must accept is the need
for the Messiah. Don't we? (Yes.) Suppose it would take selling the
entire nation of America in order to buy the Messiah, should we sell
America? (Yes.) Even if it takes trading in the entire world, the
entire human history, we must do it. The Messiah is more precious than
all of that. Do you realize the preciousness and value of the Messiah?
Do you know that value in fact or do you just recognize it?
Imagine that you have the most valuable gold mine in the entire
world, but all of a sudden you realize that a diamond mine is next to
you. At that moment would you sell the gold mine in order to buy the
diamond mine? Or would you keep the gold mine and forget the diamond
mine? You would go for the diamond mine. This is not someone else's
opinion, this relates to our life. It is a knowledge that has to be
applied to your life and compared to it. So if you have to sell your
most precious things and most precious people in order to receive the
Messiah, would you do that? (YES!) Have you really felt realistically
that you have to go ahead and sell your wife, children, your tribe and
even your nation in order to receive the Messiah? Have you really
thought about that and felt it to the bone? It is easy to say but the
question is have you really set the proper condition and standard to be
able to do it in reality. You must question yourselves. You have to be
able to calculate the percentage of yourself that truthfully is ready
to accept the Messiah and believe in him. Only you know that
percentage.
America is a very liberal and free country, but can you find even
one person who can truly accept and understand the Messiah here? Answer
Father. How about yourself? [Addressing a member of audience.] (I'm
trying.) Trying means on the way. When will the trying course be
finished is the problem. This is a very serious and critical question
for us. Just imagine how desperately serious Father was when he was
finding out all of the hidden secrets of Adam's family and all of the
historical families and how they failed. Do you think Father took it
all for granted? Father had to put his neck on the block in a life and
death fight. Satan constantly tried to chase Father out and confuse
him, changing the direction. Imagine just how manipulative and evil
Satan has been throughout human history, even against God. He played
games against God. Then suddenly this innocent Reverend Moon appeared
as the Messiah; do you imagine that Satan just left him alone? Satan
was desperate to block him.
From Father's point of view, in order to create the future ideal
world, he had to obtain the voluntary surrender from Satan. That was
the condition. Father restored the failure of Adam's family through a
severe battle. There were so many times that he met with denial and
refusal. But Father had to restore it. As Father kept on going with
logic and proof, then finally Satan had to admit it. After Father
succeeded in revealing all of the hidden secrets from Adam's family,
then Satan tried to block him regarding Noah's family. Father then had
to struggle once again in order to discover all of the hidden secrets
of failure within Noah's family in order to restore that stage. When
Father came up with all of the facts of how Ham failed in Noah's
family, Satan denied the truth many times. Again, step by step, as
Father kept producing the factual proof finally Satan bowed down and
surrendered that Father was correct. That is how Father restored the
failure of Noah in his family.
After this Satan told Father that even though he had restored
Adam's family failure, and Noah's family failure, still history carried
on through Abraham's family. This area Satan claimed Father had not
touched yet and so the world still belonged to him. Once again Satan
tried to block Father's way by telling him not to touch Abraham's
family because he had nothing to do with it yet. Father had to fight
again. Once more Father began to dig into all of the secrets of Abraham
through Isaac and Jacob, the Israelites' 400 years of history all at
different stages, including the restoration between Jacob and Esau and
the story of Tamar. Finally Satan bowed down once again. Nobody knew
how desperately Father had to fight in order to restore again, not just
Abraham's family but all the way to Moses' family. He found all the
facts and confronted Satan with those facts and the facts of Jesus'
family and John the Baptist's failure, and restored them back again.
Nobody in history knew what kind of life course Father had to go
through in order to achieve that goal. Nobody knew what kind of course
Father passed through in the last forty years in order to restore the
entire 4000 years of human history back to God.
After World War II if Father had not known all of the facts of
Adam's family, Noah's family, Abraham, Moses and Jesus, then Father
would have started digging out the facts of Adam's family again. Who
knows how long that would take, but Father already had that foundation
and he put all these facts on the horizontal level from Adam's family
through Jesus, all the failures and restoration. That is why Father
could begin the reindemnification of 4000 years of history.
As a result of the Fall of man, from Adam's family onwards, minds
and bodies have been separated. This formula of how to unify the mind
and body was set up by Father at the worldwide level at this time, not
just the individual or family level, but also unity between husband and
wife and Cain and Abel. This is how the family can become unified:
First individual mind and body unification, then husband-wife unity,
then unity between parents and children. [Father draws on the board.]
Unless there is total unification between mind and body, Satan invades.
Also if there is no unity between husband and wife Satan automatically
invades. The same thing occurs between brothers and sisters. We can
refer to this as Satan's realm and it will become the root to form the
Satanic world [indicating to the board]. Do you follow? When it comes
to the tree, it takes central root, trunk and bud which is your family.
This lineage of the central root, trunk and bud has been falsified and
we have to cut it off and engraft into the true olive tree. Father
again is telling us, unless there is absolute unity between mind and
body, husband and wife, brothers and sisters, parents and children,
Satan is always invading.
Throughout the entire human history, no matter what religion we may
consider, there is no religion that is giving as much value as
Unification Church teaching is giving, to the value of family life.
Beginning from the family, all of the religions of the world, the
cultures, civilizations, nations and people emerged. That is why in
order to form a family unit, Father values marriage highly. Therefore
Father has been conducting these holy weddings throughout these years.
Horizontally this unit of Adam and Eve is expanded to the worldwide
level. We must have perfection here on this earth. The unification of
mind and body must be done here on earth, centered upon True Love.
Without having the experience of True Love you cannot even consider the
unification of mind and body. It is a very serious matter. Unless you
are in the position of object to God you cannot experience True Love.
Human history began with the separation of mind and body because of the
Fall and we have inherited false love, false life, and false lineage.
That is the beginning of the separation of mind and body.
The base unit is the family and this is the starting place of the
deviation of mankind. That is why Father has given you the Family
Pledge. Unless we become totally united and one centered upon the
unification of our mind and body, husband and wife, and brothers and
sisters there is no way for us to be able to enter the Kingdom of God
on earth as well as in heaven. This is the formula [indicating to the
diagram on the board]. This doesn't apply only to the family level, but
tribal level also. The society is not random but well organized into
villages and up to the national level. There is always a head of each
division. By the same token we have this family unit which is the base.
The presidential family, as the first family of America should be plus
and the other America families would be in the position of minus.
Between this first family and the other families of the nation there
should be total unity and there will be success. Otherwise there will
only be failure. Satan's major effort throughout history has been to
destroy the unity between plus and minus, or subject and object. On the
other hand God has been working to help man bring about the unity
between plus and minus. Satan always discourages the unity between mind
and body, whereas God is urging us through our conscience to unite
them. Father is telling us that unless we unite our mind and body
centered upon True Love we need not even think about the Kingdom of God
on earth.
People have high goals in their lives, but remember that your
highest goal must be the unification of your mind and body. This is our
destiny. When we refer to destiny it means it cannot be changed, it is
already set. Therefore let us refer to true destiny, then there is
absolutely no possibility of changing the course. It is already set
just like a blood relationship. If your father is a traitor, no matter
how good and famous a son you may be, you will be referred to as a
traitor's son. Do you understand? That is why this life goal is our
true destiny. If we cannot fulfill this goal in this physical world,
even after passing into the spiritual world we still have to do it.
Jesus Christ came as the True Parent of mankind, not because it was
his desire but because it was his true destiny. However, he could not
fulfill this task due to the disbelief of the people of his time.
Therefore he left his words to us that he would return to finish this
unfinished messianic task. That is why the Second Advent must take
place. Because he didn't fulfill his mission he could not enter into
the Kingdom of God. He is waiting in Paradise. The truth is this
serious and critical. Are you willing to receive this kind of truth
for free or are you willing to have your entire body torn apart in
payment?
We must understand what the terminology of True Parents means.
Nobody throughout history until now experienced the life that Father
has experienced and nobody could imagine how difficult it was and how
much suffering he had to pay. Therefore, sitting in front of this
incredibly valuable True Parent we must be able to set the proper
condition to reciprocate on even a spiritual level. Do you understand?
In order to have the protection at the individual level we need our
family unit. At the family level we need the protection of the tribe.
At the tribal level we need national protection. We must not forget why
Father and the Unification Church have been persecuted throughout the
world -- because the Unification Church does not have its own national
foundation yet.
In the country of Korea there have been a false father in the North
and a True Father in the South for the past forty years. In the South,
Christianity was supposed to be the religion to work with True Father
at the beginning, but on the contrary it has been persecutmg and
opposing Father, making his life miserable at the horizontal level. The
communistic groups teamed up with Christianity in order to persecute
Father and the Unification Church all these years in Korea. Before
Jesus came Elijah was supposed to come and prepare the way for him. But
who actually came as Elijah? John the Baptist did. However, people
didn't understand this and Jesus was persecuted and finally crucified.
The people believed that Elijah would descend in a fiery chariot from
the sky. By the same token, Christians in Korea were looking up to the
sky in order to receive the Second Advent coming down in the clouds.
But actually the Messiah came as a man just as in the time of Jesus.
Therefore people didn't understand and so Father had to walk this
course of indemnity all of these years. That is why there has been
opposition.
Jesus was crucified because of misunderstanding and persecution. In
order to eliminate Father as the Second Advent the entire world from
the individual to worldwide level has been opposmg him, just as in the
time of Jesus. But this is now a different time. No matter where Father
goes no one can put him in prison or persecute him to any extreme ever
again. Gorbachev considered Father to be an archenemy of the former
Soviet Union, but he became like Father's younger brother. Also Kim Il
Sung, who was really the worst enemy of God and Father, after Father's
one visit to Pyong Yang became like Father's brother. Because of his
physical age he became Father's elder brother in the Cain position to
Father as Abel. That it is how they became brothers. How impressed and
inspired he was by Father's one visit. Just before he passed away, Kim
Il Sung said that the re-unification of Korea can only be done through
Reverend Moon. (Applause.) Even though Kim Il Sung said that, the 23
million people of North Korea do not know what to do. What choice do
they have now? They have to follow Father's guidance.
The nuclear issue was very hot between North Korea and America a
few months ago and North Korea and America did not know how to relate
to each other. In other words, Father helped both sides so naturally it
worked. (Applause.) This is not a concept, this is a reality. This is
the task of perfected Adam and so as a True Parent Father has been
doing all this. Otherwise there is no hope for us. In America the
Unification Church is in the position of Abel and Christianity is in
the position of Cain. The symbolic unity between this Cain and Abel in
America is the victory of the American people changing the leadership
of the country.
The Parents' Day Resolution passed the Congress and the Senate and
finally President Clinton signed the bill as a national perennial
holiday on October 4 of this year. It is an historical record that
within seventy days this Parents' Day Resolution Bill passed in both
Houses. There was no such short term endeavor to pass both Houses in
the history of the United States. We all celebrate Martin Luther King
Jr.'s birthday here in America, but that took almost twenty years in
order to pass this resolution in both Houses and obtain the
Presidential signature. Usually it takes one to three years minimum to
pass any bill like this. The quick passage of the Parents' Day
Resolution was an historical record. (Applause.)
Originally Father was supposed to come to America in 1962. At that
time the leaders of both the Republican and Democratic parties agreed
to issue a visa to Father to enable him to come to America in 1962.
Yet, Father had responsibility to work with Korea before coming to
America and so he postponed ten years until 1972. The completion of the
Old Testament era in Korea had to be completed first. Even if Father
had come in 1962 without completing the stage of the Old Testament age,
then if Korea were to oppose again then Father would have had to return
to Korea in order to finish the work. Therefore Father remained in
Korea in order to finish this work. Actually, because America is in the
position of the bride country, at the age of sixteen Father began
praying and thinking about this mission. This is the first time that
Father is revealing his life long story. From the age of sixteen Father
has been praying for this nation. That is almost sixty years, is it
not?
Father knew that the Allied countries would be victorious in World
War II. Therefore he was preparing for the time, after the war, when he
was supposed to be accepted and welcomed by the allied nations centered
upon America and Christianity, to begin building the Kingdom of God on
earth. Yet they failed to do so. At the same time Father had to
prepare again that kind of foundation. Father emptied his resources and
created the Little Angels to go around the world and enhance the image
of Korea. Through this Little Angels and the Korean Cultural
Foundation here in America, Father made the foundation to invite
President Truman, President Eisenhower, and President Nixon to be on
the Board. That was the process of setting the foundation in order to
be received by America and other countries. Besides these three,
approximately 150 leaders of all different walks of life in this
country were on the Board of this Korean Freedom Foundation. Father
began CARP activities on college campuses throughout America. That kind
of foundation was established by Father in order to re-create the right
atmosphere for Father to be accepted by the free world right after
World War II. However, America failed in this.
Korea has opposed Father for twenty-five years. Without that
opposition, imagine what kind of well-established foundation Father
could have achieved in Korea and in the Western world. Through the
Little Angels' performing tour we could have influenced the world
immensely. However, the Korean government opposed Father for
twenty-five years, to the extent of not even allowing the Little Angels
to go out to the world to perform. Since the Korean government opposed
even the Little Angels team for twenty-five years, then Father took an
alternative course. That course was to bring the traditional Russian
ballet into America where it has become successful and is indemnifying
the Little Angels' course in the West. The director of our ballet
company here in America is Mr. Vinogradov. When he first came to visit
our Universal Ballet Academy, he suddenly heard a voice from the
spiritual world telling him that his destiny was with this
organization. That is what he heard vividly, he said. What does that
prove? That God is alive. In order for God to be able to act we have to
set proper conditions. Father set everything up for training ballerinas
in that academy. There are buildings, facilities and students and then
this well known figure in the ballet world came to visit. That is when
God acted upon Father's foundation.
What we have to understand is that the time that Mr. Vinogradov
visited our ballet academy was the time when the Soviet Union was still
not dissolved. It was at the time of Gorbachev. But three years prior
to his visit to the Washington Ballet Academy, the American government
sent an invitation for Mr. Vinogradov to come to America and establish
a ballet school. But the Soviet regime refused to allow him to come to
America. But even though three years ago he was still under the Soviet
regime, it still wasn't easy for him to come to America. Therefore
President Bush wrote a letter to President Gorbachev and they
corresponded back and forth. We have copies of the actual letters that
were sent exhibited in the ballet academy. Because of these two heads
of state, finally Mr. Vinogradov could come to America and manage to
serve as both the head of the Kirov Ballet Performing Arts in Moscow
and as the president of our Kirov Ballet Academy in Washington, D.C.
The Soviet Union realized back then that they would have to somehow
cope with Western culture. Therefore in order to prove that Russia had
something to be proud of, they picked Washington, D.C., which is the
capital of America as well as of the free world, and gave the absolute
right to Father to use this name of Kirov Ballet which is owned by the
Ministry of Culture of the Soviet Union. They gave everything to Father
to be able to freely use the name and skills of the ballet team of the
Kirov. After only two or three years of training this Kirov Ballet
Academy of Washington, D.C., went on tour around the nation. As a
result the critics claim them to be superior even to the Kirov Ballet
team of Russia. (Applause.)
Each year students graduate and so they have to give auditions to
new candidates. This year they were choosing sixteen new students.
However, 1600 candidates came but only sixteen were chosen. That makes
the ratio one out of every 100. But Father predicts that soon it will
become one out of 500. Father would like to connect these ballet
activities to the University of Bridgeport which has a license to run
middle and high school there also. Eventually Father would like to
establish ballet, cinema and other artistic courses there so that
eventually those graduate students will clean up Hollywood. (Applause.)
They can go out as pioneers and replace these homosexuals and all kinds
of immoral people no matter how famous they might be. Even at the Kirov
Ballet Academy in Washington, D.C., if there is any scandal connected
to any student, immediately they will be expelled. That is the way that
Father is setting the new tradition even in performing arts.
Father has a goal to clean up Hollywood and Las Vegas. Who can do
this kind of task? Not even the American government can, but only
Father can do that. In the future, if anybody wants to become famous in
the performing arts field, they will need to set a good moral standard
of a good husband or good wife or good family member. Otherwise, how
can we think of building the Kingdom of God on earth? Father has
already excelled in different fields, particularly in the cultural
area. Has Father's work only shown in the field of art? No. As you know
Father has been working with scholars and journalists this past twenty
years.
There are thousands of men and women in the academic and political
fields with whom Father has good relations. Now, with this strong
foundation, whatever country Father may visit, they are always ready to
receive Father.
When Father was in Brazil a couple of weeks ago he gave a banquet
for the Brazilian VIPs from various fields and over 200 people gathered
at the Brazilian headquarters building. Father had not hoped or planned
for this, but the State University of Brazil offered an Honorary
Doctorate degree to Father and Mother by their own volition. Sooner or
later you will see thousands of universities from all over the world
come forward with these kinds of honorary degrees. Then Father will
share them with you. (Laughter.) Suppose Father were to receive 5000
honorary degrees and he were to hand out two or three to you, this
would become your family treasure. Therefore, work hard. When it comes
to Father's lifelong accomplishments, just you name it, any field
whatsoever, Father has already excelled in. It doesn't matter how
wonderful a college you may have graduated from, or how wonderful a
career you may have established on your own. Unless you are totally
aligned with Father's tradition, in the future you won't have the
chance to work in that major field along with Father.
Those parents who want to see their children succeeding just for
their own sake without embodying Father's tradition of True Love, and
those individuals who are doing the same thing, will naturally become
hidden and fall behind the scenes. America has been proud of its
military and economic power as the super nation of the world. However,
even America does not have what Father has. Father has an ideological
foundation upon which he has formed all kinds of foundations beyond the
national level and which transcend racial, cultural and national
boundaries. Even a nation like America does not have this luxury. This
is what we need to understand. The name of Reverend Moon has been
resurrected and is going up and up reaching to the heights. It is now
reaching the stage where Reverend Moon is the top leader in the world
in this time period. (Applause.)
This is possible because of the various scholars who know Reverend
Moon. They know that Reverend Moon is the only one who cannot be
surpassed for what he has established during his lifelong career in all
these different fields. The time has come that after forty years of
severe persecution at the worldwide level, Reverend Moon has
established so many prominent foundations in all these different
fields. What Reverend Moon is saying is that the Second Advent will not
come as a spirit descending on the clouds, but as a man. As a man he
will work as the Messiah for mankind. They must accept this conclusion
now for we are living in such a time. If the Second Advent comes as a
human being, then Reverend Moon is the only one who can possibly claim
that role. They have to accept it now because the time has come.
Father's goal now is to establish the ideal model for the community and
based upon that community the ideal model for the country.
The size of the location for the creation of this model is probably
bigger than Rhode Island, almost as large as the state of Connecticut.
[Father is drawing on the board.] Almost one million acres of land is
where Father will build this ideal community. Father will divide this
particular land into 160 different parts and each division will be
taken care of by each country, 160 nations. How can we build an ideal
community there? Within that particular boundary of one million acres,
we will have 160 different nations transcending race, culture, nation
and religion. Every single person all the way to the entire group will
be ideal people like you. Therefore Father needs you to come there and
demonstrate that kind of standard. (Applause.) Also this is how Father
will begin saving all these people who are dying of starvation all over
the world.
Once we have this kind of ideal community established there, people
from all over the world will pour into it, even if only just to see it.
It will become a tourist attraction. When people realize that under
this kind of heavy persecution for the last forty years, Reverend Moon
built this ideal community, then naturally people will open their
hearts. About four-fifths of the entire world population falls into the
category of poor people. There is only one Father standing at the
remote corner of the world village. But using God's truth Father is
educating the entire world. This is a reality. With the Divine
Principle book, even a high school graduate can teach anyone, any
place, anywhere using that standard book. This model village can make
a powerful influence all over the world particularly as the secular
world is declining fast. Only Reverend Moon is creating this formula.
It will appear like a lighthouse in the darkness. The world now is in
darkness and Reverend Moon has built this lighthouse in the midst of
the dark. Do you understand Father? (Yes.)
The Christian world took 2000 years encouraging members and now has
one billion people. They are against us but we will turn all of that
upside down. North America has to save South America. The American
Unification Church is in Abel's position and the Christian world is in
Cain's position. If they combine into one they will make a big Abel
position. The Christianity practiced in South America is Catholicism
which is in the elder brother position, Cain's position. North America
and Protestantism are in Abel's position. When these two unite into
one, this foundation can be connected with Germany. Europe is becoming
one nation centering largely upon Germany. However, Germany is unable
even to unite East and West Germany successfully. Out of Germany came
the split between Catholicism and Protestantism. Therefore, once this
unification between Catholicism and Protestantism occurs victoriously
this big plus can re-unite East and West Germany. This is the formula.
We are now reaching the final stage of history. No advanced nation
of the world is able to bring about this kind of unification. Only one
person is able to bring this about, and that person is none other than
Reverend Moon. The whole of humankind have lost their direction and
Father is solving all the problems of mankind. That is the task which
Father is implementing now. Father is planning to buy tens of thousands
of acres of land where we will build the ideal community. Father has
already established a sufficiently strong foundation in terms of the
metaphysical field. Now Father is beginning to work on the salvation of
the physical level. Father only has to deal with the United Nations in
order to turn the world around. Now the physical salvation will take
place through Father.
During the last forty years Father has indemnified 4000 years of
human history. During this time Father has been persecuted by all
manner of people, religions and organizations, and each time he has
prevailed and won the victory. It is as if Father has already
constructed the infallible castle wall which Satan cannot pass through.
No regime in this world is able to persecute Father anymore. Father has
formed a band of STRONG unification soldiers throughout the world.
(Applause.) You are the heavenly army. We have to make a revolution.
This is the final war. The fact is that Father has already won the
victory on the spiritual level worldwide and now he begins to tackle
this physical level salvation to save all these thousands of people who
are dying of starvation every year. The world should recognize this.
The time has come. These dying people are our brothers and sisters too.
While your younger brothers and sisters are dying, do you still wish to
keep your property because you wish to protect yourself? Or would you
go out and sell your property and save their lives?
The day that all those wealthy countries are willing to sell their
excess of cars and houses in order to save their brothers and sisters
in poor countries, will automatically usher in the Kingdom of God on
earth. Remember that Father has poured one billion dollars into the
Washington Times during the last fourteen years. This is a fact. All
the government bureaus such as the CIA have a record of this. In order
to save this country, that regarded Father as its enemy Father has
sacrificed this much. But in order to save our poorer brothers and
sisters who are not our enemies, we should do even more. Will you do
that? (YES!) Those rich Americans, if Father tells you to sell your
houses and land in order to save those poor people will you do that?
Will you voluntarily do that? (Voluntarily.) Father has voluntarily
sacrificed in order to save this enemy country of America. The starving
people in the poor nations of the world are not your enemies, they are
God's children, your brothers and sisters. You have to save them. This
is your mission from now on: to embrace and unify the people of South
America. God wants that. Do you want to do that? (Yes.) Really? (Yes.)
I cannot believe it of American people.
Whether you believe it or not, when Father checked into the price
of land in South America it costs one-tenth of what it would cost in
America. It's that cheap. Therefore, in the near future the land in
South America will become more valuable than the land in North America.
Who knows but in the near future a phenomena will occur where North
Americans will rush into South America and the situation will be
reversed. Then South America will build their fence high and select who
will come and who will not, just as North America is doing to South
Americans now. (Laughter.) If they connect with Reverend Moon's ideal
base that kind of phenemona can occur. Father has confidence to create
that kind of foundation. Do you believe that? (YES!) I don't know. I
don't believe it myself. God wishes the unification between North and
South America. Originally God desired complete unification between all
of His children.
You have to inherit from Father how you can walk with absolute
confidence within the satanic world, without being influenced. If
Father were the size of this circle [indicating to the board] then you
should become a circle too. Father will help you to become formed this
way. At Father's level he is talking about 160 nations and at your
level you have to be responsible for 160 families. That is the
responsibility of the tribal messiah: to restore 160 families. Do you
understand? If you truly want to inherit Father's tradition and
Father's foundation you need to restore 160 families as a tribal
messiah. Jesus Christ was crucified because he was unable to secure 120
absolutely loyal disciples. In order to restore the failure of Jesus
Christ, as a tribal messiah, all Blessed couples need to restore 160
families so that you will be able to inherit Father's foundation. We
now stand at a worldwide level in this age and so we need to restore
160 families. Do you follow? When you accomplish this 160 family
restoration, you will be registered in a permanent record. Father
established a foundation in 160 nations during this heavy persecution
period. Now you are able to restore 160 families without receiving
persecution from now on. Then the entire world will have to follow in
your footsteps.
Since the tribal messiahs are supposed to restore 160 families, the
second generation are standing in the position to relate to the
children of those 160 families. It is the mission of the second
generation to work with their parents in order to restore those
families along with their children back to God. Historically Satan has
been abusing, manipulating and controlling mankind for the entire human
history. Mankind has been driven by Satan. But now, because of the
appearance of True Father as the Messiah of mankind, Father has stopped
this trend and it is being reversed. Now Satan is being pushed
backwards. You should have confidence even to be able to proclaim to
Satan, "I am a true son or true daughter of True Parents." You must
have absolute faith even if you have to deny your own nation or your
world. Still you have to be able to proclaim yourself the child of the
True Parents. The reason that you are free to declare to the world that
you are a child of the True Parents, is because Parents have won all of
the victories and conquered Satan. Therefore, whatever True Parents
possess belongs to us as their children. Automatically, as long as you
are the sons and daughters of True Parents you are able to inherit
everything. Do you have that confidence? (Yes.)
Are you able to imagine the suffering course that Father has
walked? Father has had to deal with every kind of suffering and
torment in his life. There was even the temptation that the world's
richest family's most beautiful daughter was offered to Father if he
would forget his mission. Father spat at that offer. Even if the
entire nation of America was offered, Father would reject it. Are you
able to do as Father does? (Yes.) Now Father has a strong foundation
all throughout the world, but when Father first began he was without
anyone who could support him. Father simply relied upon the revelation
from God. Father was without resources or manpower. But your situation
is so different. Now you have Father's truth clearly leading you all
the time. It is a much easier course. Spiritual world is always
fluctuating and changing, but in this physical world Father is showing
everything to us. Therefore we have to understand what happened in
Adam's family, how Noah's family failed, and all the details throughout
history, and in this way build your own confidence to stand on Father's
foundation. Do you understand? (Yes.) This is the only way for you to
win the victory.
Now Father will touch on this main topic of today, The Total
Evaluation in View of God's Providence. This will be taught [Father
draws on the board]. This represents the Old Testament era, the New
Testament era and at the bottom here [indicating to the board] the
Completed Testament era. Each period marks 2000 years as you know. All
together we have 6000 years of human history. The end of the Old
Testament era until the present day is 4000 years. The Fall of man took
place in the family of Adam and this represented the first failure of
Adam. The second failure of Adam was Jesus Christ. The third Adam is
represented by the Lord of the Second Advent. Even in the case of the
third Adam the mission was postponed because of the failure of America
centered upon Christianity. But instead of failing, True Father
restored the foundation again in the last forty years and won the
victory in indemnifying 4000 years of history. Therefore, the world of
peace and unification is dawning.
Now Father is drawing the size of the Old Testament age [Father
draws on the board]. At the end of the Old Testament era Jesus Christ
appeared and was supposed to establish tribal level, social level, and
national level foundations. The Old Testament era was centered upon
Judaism in the position of Abel and the nation of Israel in the
position of Cain. Christians are proud of celebrating Jesus' birth in
the stable. But this is not something to be proud of. What was supposed
to have occurred was that the people of Israel and Judaism should have
prepared everything necessary in order to receive the birth of Jesus.
However, Jesus was abandoned and he was born in the stable. At the time
of Jesus' birth, centered on God, Joseph and Mary were supposed to be
in the position of plus and minus and together become minus to God in
the position of plus. Then united with God the three of them could be
in the position of plus and Judaism would be in the position of minus.
Had they been totally united together in that way then everything would
have gone well. In the eyes of God they represented fallen mother and
children and restored mother and children. [Father draws on the board.]
When restoration of the children occurs it is not usually through the
original wife but rather through the concubine or second wffe.
After World War II had those victorious allied countries, centered
upon Christianity as the bride culture, accepted True Father as the
Messiah, Father would not have had to divorce Sungjin Nim's mother.
Instead, with Sung Jin Nim's mother and Sung Jin Nim together, he would
have started building the Kingdom of God, unifying the world as one
country. The victorious foundation was lost completely; Father had no
family, no tribe, no nation. The only alternative was the course of
bitter restoration; otherwise, the ideal family, tribe and nation could
not have been built upon the earth and spread throughout the world,
completing the purpose of providential history.
That is what happened in the family of Jacob. Because of this
formula course of restoration, a special relationship between Rachel
and Leah took place in the family of Jacob. Otherwise their son could
not have become the central figure who could possibly be in the
position of the Messiah. [Father draws on the board explaining.] In
order for Jacob's family to establish this on the earth, they had to
make that perfection through the second wife's position. The second
wife had to accomplish restoration following one direction, not two
directions. The elder wife and younger wife, who also represent elder
and younger sisters, had to unite following the same direction, which
leads back to the realm of pre-fallen Adam. Their following two
different directions is a problem. Jacob's family uniting in one
direction made the foundation for Jacob's settlement.
Because of this formula, the course of restoration usually takes
place through the second wife or concubine, not through the original
wife. That is why in the family of Jacob you can see the relationship
between Rachel and Leah. Leah had every reason to confront and oppose
Laban because in a way he sold his daughter twice. Jacob's mother had
the responsibility to work with Jacob and straighten out this
situation. But this course of restoration in terms of the family level
at the time of Jacob, finally was established and continued. But
because of the disunity between these two sons, Jacob and Esau, the one
son became the Northern Kingdom of Israel and the second son became the
Southern Kingdom of Israel. In order to receive the Messiah they had to
set an absolute condition of unity between Cain and Abel represented by
the Northern and Southern Kingdoms of Israel. Elijah came and
attempted to bring about this unity, but he failed. When Elijah
ascended into the spiritual world he promised to return. But who came
in the place of Elijah at the time of the coming of the Messiah? John
the Baptist.
Elijah tried his best to demonstrate God's almighty power in the
Northern Kingdom of Israel but the people tried to kill him. Finally
Elijah prayed telling God that he was the only one left. But God told
him that there were still 7000 people who had not surrendered to the
false god and that Elijah had to work with and unite with them. This
was a prediction from God that when Elijah came again in the form of
John the Baptist, that he should be united with Jesus and restoration
could be fulfilled at that time. Had John the Baptist been totally
united with Jesus and mobilized the 7000 people around him and
established this ideal community centered upon Jesus, the entire nation
of Israel would have accepted this group.
Up to the time of the coming of Jesus, the Israelites used
circumcision as a sign of indemnification of original sin. Water
baptism was not even recorded in the Old Testament, but at the time of
Jesus John the Baptist appeared and began practicing baptism. Who was
the father of Jesus Christ? (Zachariah.) What about Elizabeth? She was
the wife of Zachariah. Elizabeth was in the position of Leah, whereas
Mary was in the position of Rachel. At the time of Jacob, Leah and
Rachel fought in order to occupy their husband Jacob. At the time of
Jesus this had to be indemnified. The original wife, Elizabeth, was in
the position of Leah to Mary, in the position of Rachel, who was
supposed to become the second wife or concubine. But Mary was supposed
to be in the position of plus in terms of restoration, and had to be
united together with Elizabeth, in the position of minus, in order for
restoration to occur. We can't ignore this course of restoration. At
the time of Jacob's family Rachel and Leah always fought in order to
occupy their husband, whereas at the time of Jesus, Elizabeth in the
position of Leah, the first wife's position, introduced Mary, the
second wife's position, to her husband Zachariah. It was completely
opposite to what occurred in Jacob's family. Do you understand? Behind
God's providence lies this complicated situation. Many people were
unaware of this. Only Father's appearance on the earth can make these
things clear. Do you understand?
Mary gave birth to Jesus and Elizabeth gave birth to John the
Baptist. John the Baptist was in the position of Cain and Jesus was in
the position of Abel. Centered upon their mothers, this Cain and Abel
relationship was supposed to be restored. By doing so, Jacob's
position, in other words the position of God was supposed to be
restored. Only on the foundation of the unity between Cain and Abel
would this occur. Suppose Mary revealed whose baby she was carrying?
According to the law of Israel at that time any unmarried woman found
pregnant was supposed to be stoned to death. Therefore Jesus would
have lost his life even before he was born. In the Garden of Eden Eve
betrayed God and her own husband, Adam. In order to restore Eve's
position, Mary in the reverse course, prevailed in faith over her
father and her husband, just like Jacob and Esau's course. Through
following this indemnity course she could stand victoriously in Eve's
position upon the earth.
Adam lost his position to the Archangel and so when Jacob was
returning home he fought the angel and was victorious. The Bible tells
us that he wrestled with God and won the victory. The Archangel
represented internal and after this spiritual victory Jacob was to win
the substantial victory over Esau. Only after this spiritual victory
and physical victory through Esau surrendering to Jacob could the true
blood lineage begin through Tamar. At the time of birth the twins in
Tamar's womb struggled to be born first. If we reflect upon Tamar's
life, her husband died and she was supposed to marry the second son and
he died. Then there was still a third son she was supposed to marry but
she disguised herself and slept with her father-in-law. In other words
she prevailed in faith over her father and husband in order to inherit
the lineage of God. It was a revolutionary act on her part. From her
womb, the elder and younger brother relationship was restored and
because of that condition then God's purified blood lineage began from
the family level. This extended up to the national level through the
Israelite people up to Jesus.
God's nation was supposed to appear at the time of Mary. Also Mary
acted in faith in deference to Joseph, her husband-to-be. At the time
of Joseph's marriage his parents prepared everything in order to see
their son Joseph have a new married life and happy family life. When
they were told that Joseph's fiance was pregnant Mary was in danger.
But instead of betraying Mary, he saved her by embracing and protecting
her. Joseph's parents strongly criticized and accused Joseph for his
actions, but nevertheless he protected Mary by telling his parents that
he had caused her pregnancy. Because of Joseph Mary was resurrected
from the dead. This symbolized the restoration of what occurred in the
Garden of Eden where Eve spiritually killed Adam. But this time, Joseph
saved Mary's life.
In order for Mary to be qualified as Eve on the national level she
was supposed to prevail in faith over her father figure, husband figure
and son figure. That is what occurred. The reason why Mary had to set
the condition just like Tamar before her was, for 2000 years ever since
the cleansing of the blood lineage in Tamar's womb, many different
things occurred. These events caused the blood lineage to become
stained. Mary had to purify the lineage once again and so she had to
follow this same pattern but on the national level. Because of this
condition, Satan had no claim over Jesus. Due to that purification and
condition set by Mary and Joseph, Jesus was the first begotten son born
in this physical world throughout human history. Jesus would have
become the King of Kings and established the Kingdom of God on earth
within his lifetime if he had not been crucified. But due to the
failure of the people of Israel this task was postponed for 2000 years
until the time of the Second Advent. Father's mission is to restore
human history and establish the foundation to build the Kingdom of God
on earth. This is what Father is doing. Do you understand?
Father wants you to clearly understand the relationship between
Elizabeth and Mary, Jesus and John the Baptist as Cain and Abel and
Zachariah. Suppose Jesus had found his bride and married, then the
history would have totally been changed from that point on. In those
days it was customary to marry as young as eighteen years of age.
Therefore, Jesus could have married at the age of 18. Why did he not do
so? Because he couldn't find his bride? There were many brides, but he
was unable to find the bride who could fit God's providence. The Fall
of man took place around the age of sixteen years. At the age of
seventeen years Jesus honestly told his mother Mary all the
providential details that were needed in order for him to marry. Three
times he spoke to his mother in all, at the age of twenty-seven and
then at thirty. But the family could not accept his proposal. After
Jesus realized that his goal for marriage could not be accompllshed
through his own family, from the age of thirty he went out and walked
the public course for three years. But finally he was crucified.
In the Garden of Eden, Adam was in the position of Abel and the
Archangel was in the position of Cain. The meaning of the Fall is that
the Archangel took away Adam's younger sister, Eve. In order to restore
that relationship, Jesus was supposed to take Cain's younger sister,
who was John the Baptist's younger sister and make her his own bride.
Who was the younger sister? It would have been Jesus' stepsister.
According to the law of Israel at that time it was not permitted to
marry a close blood relative. After Joseph saved Mary's life and they
became officially married, don't you think that Joseph kept on asking
Mary whose son Jesus really was? Yet Mary could not reveal the secret,
because once she would then the entire family, including Zachariah and
Elizabeth would be condemned by the society of Israel at that time.
Therefore she could not do that. The entire family might have been
stoned to death. Suppose Jesus had married John the Baptist's younger
sister, restoring the phenomena in the Garden of Eden. Even John the
Baptist knew that Jesus was his stepbrother. Even though Jesus wanted
to marry his own stepsister, Mary could not allow that because she knew
what the consequences would be. Even if Mary had agreed Elizabeth would
not allow that. If Elizabeth agreed then Zachariah would refuse. It
would create so much trouble with all of the family. It was a doubly
difficult situation at that time. Do you understand this clearly? You
have to understand this hidden secret clearly. This is the truth Father
is proclaiming to you.
If everything could have happened according to God's will, Jesus
could have married his stepsister with the agreement of Mary, Elizabeth
and Zachariah, and then the family and tribe would have been
established. This would have been the beginning of the Kingdom of God
on earth. In the Last Days, due to the confusion in Jesus' family, many
people have more than one wife and the children from the second and
third wives are even brighter than those from the first wife. Because
of this particular failure in Jesus' family we see a lot of confusion
in our world, even incest taking place in families. Had Jesus been able
to establish his family and tribe within the one family everything
would have gone well. But Jesus was crucified. Centered upon the bride
culture of Christianity this nation of America should have accepted
True Father in 1945, but due to that failure we see America is rampant
with all manner of sexual problems and even incest. It is like a living
hell. This is how history reflects the course of indemnity.
After the rejection of Christianity and America, Father spent forty
years laying the foundation through each stage of the indemnity course.
He has set a strong enough foundation in North America and is expanding
his foundation even to South America. Because of Satan's interference
and invasion, Father's family still has some tasks to be completed.
Sung Jin Nim's mother, Father's original wife and our True Mother have
never met. They are strangers with no relationship whatsoever.
However, Father's true son Sungjin Nim may wish to come to Father's
house and live together. As Father's true son he has the right to bring
his own mother. Not even True Parents could prevent that. There would
be confrontation between Sung Jin Nim's mother and True Mother and
Father knew that. Therefore, Father has been workmg on this matter
quietly this last forty years. That is why the first son and first
daughter of True Father are, in a way, in trouble. But when Father
looks at you here in America, some of you, instead of helping True
Children to stay away from trouble you have supported their involving
more deeply. Do you understand? That is why True Mother has paid a
tremendous amount of suffering indemnity. Unless True Mother offered
more love for Sung Jin Nim than her own children, she couldn't go over
the hill of indemnity course.
If Sung Jin Nim's mother, Father's first wife, passes away she were
to leave a curse on True Father and True Children then it would be a
problem. Then the restoration cannot be accomplished. Do you follow?
You have been ignorant of these facts. But this is an historical
formula. It is like a formed cancer in God's and Father's hearts. You
must understand that upon this foundation Father has appeared. You all
have been born upon this foundation which Father has established. You
did not appear from nothing. You have to realize this. Right after
World War Ii America had the chance to accept True Father and to turn
the country around, to free America from free sex and the problem of
incest. But due to the failure of America to unite with True Father,
this entire country is going down the drain with the problems of
homosexuality, free sex and incest. It is like a living hell. There is
no way for America not to perish. But Father came and put on the brakes
to this trend. In order to apply this brake Father had to endure even
Danbury. Do you now understand the historical background?
If John the Baptist had brought 7000 of his followers to Jesus
Christ and totally united and made his family united, that would have
been the foundation to build the Kingdom of God on earth. It is like
indemnifying the Northern and Southern Kingdoms of Israel. History is
living with you. If you are sick you have to be healed before you die.
Without knowing this formula you have no way out. Father is erasing
this from the board now. Father revealed this truth to those Japanese
women who came to Korea, but in America this is the first time for
Father to reveal these things. Father revealed these truths to the
Japanese women because Japan is in the position of Eve.
As Father is in the position of Adam he should reveal this truth to
Eve first. Korean women are in the position of the elder sister and
Japanese women are in the position of younger sister. American women
are in the position of the third daughter. It is again restoring Cain
and Abel relationship in order to restore this history and indemnify
it.
Do you clearly understand the concept of the failure of the first
Adam and the second Adam, and the role of the third Adam? Jesus was
supposed to restore the failure of the first Adam and establish the
foundation up to the national level after restoring the family and
tribe. But the mission of the Lord of the Second Advent is the
extension of this mission which was supposed to be accomplished by
Jesus. In other words the perfection or completion of Jesus' mission is
the mission of the Second Advent. However, the Lord of the Second
Advent has to establish the foundation to the worldwide level. True
Father has restored the first Adam's family failure, the second Adam's
failure, which was a national level failure, and he has won the
victorious worldwide level. Do you really understand this? [Father is
drawing on the board.] Father is pointing out here, ancestor Adam,
ancestor Jesus and ancestor Lord of the Second Advent.
At the time of the Lord of the Second Advent, Father has
established the foundation to establish the worldwide level victory,
the national level and family level. All three levels are completely
perfected. Centering upon the family True Parents appear and then the
national level True Parents and the worldwide level True Parents
appear. Family level True Parents already includes the national and
worldwide levels. This kind of failure of the vertical relationship has
to be restored, at the time of the Second Advent, on the horizontal
level. [Father draws the diagram to explain on the board.] You see the
different levels here [indicating to the board]. All have the same
value. Vertically this represents the vertical brotherhood of the first
Adam who was in the position of elder brother and Jesus who was the
second brother. But the Lord of the Second Advent represents the third
brother. This 4000 years of history had to be restored in forty years.
[Father continues to demonstrate by drawing on the board.] The tribal
messiah mission of restoring 160 families instead of 160 nations has
the same value of inheritance. This all applies to the same concept
that Father has explained here.
When it comes to the relationship between brothers and sisters we
are referring to one generation. This is why this 4000 years of history
[indicating to the board] had to be restored within one generation.
Within forty years that task had to be accomplished. Because Father won
the victory at the worldwide level, it automatically means the family
and national levels are included. Therefore, if Father now wishes to
share this victory with Adam at the family level and Jesus at the
national level, Satan cannot oppose it. The goal of the Completed
Testament era is equal to the Old and New Testament era. Because of the
proclamation of True Parents and the Completed Testament Age all of the
spirits in the spiritual world from Adam's time on, are able to come
down to the physical realm and work with us. Adam's family is like the
fallen couple who married by themselves without concern for others.
Jesus' time is like the couple who live together without being married
but who produce children. At the time of the Lord of the Second Advent
only the pure men and women establish genuine families and produce pure
families.
In the Unification Church history Father spread this vertical
relationship from Adam down to the Second Advent to the horizontal
level. When it comes to the Blessing Father gave different titles to
certain couples as Adam's family representative, Noah's family
representatives and so on. Do you realize that ever since Father
declared True Parents and the Completed Testament Age two years ago,
this time period has dealt with more dramatic change than the last
forty years of change? The world has been totally changed. Even in
America, those who opposed Reverend Moon have disappeared because they
can now be challenged by others who know Father's foundation.
When Father goes to nations in South America the leaders are very
eager to meet Father. The president of the University of Bridgeport,
Dr. Rubenstein, came to Father recently and declared it was his first
time to visit East Carden. What about you, is it the first time?
(Second.) (Father laughs.) Father is sharing horizontally and
vertically the glory and victory he has won on the worldwide level.
Because of Father's distribution of the glory to the different levels
such as Adam and Jesus, then all the ancestors related to those levels
can work together. Satan's power cannot come against this now. The
problem at the beginning of the human history was the false marriage.
But now, centered upon True Parents' love, everybody is being engrafted
into the True Lineage. Children automatically inherit their parents'
property. Therefore, centering upon True Father then all humankind have
the opportunity to become true children and create perfection.
The crossing point where Father's glory and victory is won is the
point where you can deal with the spiritual world vertically and the
physical world horizontally. You have a free pass. Do you understand?
(Yes.) Centering upon True Parents we must exercise absolute faith and
that is how we can restore the lost love and lost blood lineage in the
Garden of Eden. Once this is done, this True Lineage will last for
eternity. We had 30,000 couples' holy wedding ceremony in 1992. Next
year how many couples? 360,000. What about 3.6 million couples? Would
the world remain calm? (Laughing.) This is not empty talk. The time can
come when the entire five billion people can be blessed within seven
days through utilizing the mass media system. The entire world is like
our one day work boundary. You can travel to every corner of the world
in one day. Before you pass into the spiritual world, unless you have
the experience of living together and eating together with True Parents
you are not qualified. But because we have the advantage of living in
the age of highly advanced mass media, then the entire five billion
people of the world can discover what Father is doing every moment of
his life.
Do you know that Father has a very substantial foundation in the
media world? Examples are the Washington Times and Nostalgia. Nostalgia
will become the number one channel in the world soon. Once that
happens, and television channels compete to introduce Divine Principle
through the mass media, it would take only forty days in order to
educate the entire five billion people. If you want to do that you have
to follow Father's path of tradition. This 4000 year long history
culminates here at the time of the worldwide level perfection of Father
being here. This spreads out horizontally in Father's forty year
course. For Father to reach to this point is the final evaluation in
view of God's providence. [Father writes on the board.] We are all
living in the same time period and the entire humanity are all now
brothers and sisters. Therefore Father has been working to save all of
humanity for this forty years. Now he has finally won the worldwide
victory. Therefore, in order to inherit Father's mission and victory
the second generation have the task to clean up the mess of this world
and save humanity. Do you understand that? The second generation have
to go all over the world and plant True Parents' tradition.
It is a miracle that you stand in the position whereby in your
generation you can be totally welcomed and accepted as True Parents'
true children and establish the Kingdom of God on earth right here. If
Father tells all those American members who have followed True Father
up until now, to turn around and revert back to their old life, or if
Father tells the Japanese brothers and sisters to go back to Japan and
return to their old life style, would you do so? (NO!) Did you decide
this in your own mind? (Yes.) Yes in Korean means Jesus Christ. That is
true. Because of this forty year course of indemnification where Father
has won the victory, from now on restoring the world should be easy.
Father is going to return to Korea tomorrow. Don't expect Father to
return to America again, because Father wishes to see you after you
become qualified before Father by offering yourself to those
underdeveloped countries of the world. Suppose the grandchild of
someone like Rockefeller becomes our member and Father tells him that
he should sell his property and go help the starving people in Africa.
Do you think that person would do that? (Yes.) Can you take that kind
of action? (Yes.) When Father sees you American members you always have
this pride that Americans are the best. Father sees that sometimes even
in James Baughman. But suppose you all sell something you own and you
buy a piece of land in South America or Africa then you will become the
savior king of that particular land. Will you do that? (YES!) Father is
reaching almost the age of eighty and suppose he becomes sick and tired
of it. Will you still do that? (YES!) That means even without Father
being around you will do that, right? (YES!) Are you going to be in
front or do you want to stay behind Father? (Front.)
When Father went to South America recently, even those young
members all wanted to stay behind Father rather than going ahead of
Father. Even catching fish, nobody could beat Father. Working without
having meals they were unable to endure. And of course, without sleep,
nobody is able to catch up with Father. Therefore, in terms of physical
age, will you be beaten by Father or will you outdo Father? (Outdo
Father.) Your voices have been recorded on tape. Remember that. I
believe in you and have hope in your position. Am I right? (Yes.) In
your lifetime you have been working together with True Parents, how
wonderful that is. This is Father's conclusion and blessing to you on
this special Christmas Day. Father heads for Korea tomorrow and once
there he will launch a new fight there. (Applause.) Father has taught
you clearly this morning because Father feels that even if he does not
return to America, he knows that you will do as he has directed you
this morning. Is that right? (Yes.) (Applause.)
