Translator -- Peter Kim
The providence of salvation is the providence of restoration which
is equal to the providence of recreation. Of course, the providence of
restoration is through indemnity. In this process there is a lot of
waste. The meaning of the restoration through indemnity means that we
restore the original place and position which was lost because of the
Fall of Man. Therefore this means the process of recreation. Humankind
lost the original creation which God made. So humankind has to recreate
that original state. In order to do that we have to understand the
principle by which God originally created.
One of the principles of God's creation in the beginning was that
God needed a love partner. However, in modern theology there is no
such concept. God needing a partner? People do not understand that. We
all are seeking love. We all have life. We all have lineage. In order
to continue our lineage men and women contain sperm and eggs. We all
have conscience within. But can we see life, love and lineage? No one
can. Are you able to see your conscience? Even though these things are
contained within you, still you are not able to see them. We cannot see
them nor touch them. Why can't we feel their existence? When we examine
our body, in every square centimeter of skin there is one gravity. This
kind of gravity is always upon us, but because of total balance we are
unaware of this gravity. Our eyes continually blink and yet we don't
notice because we are totally one with this function. If we place our
hand on our heart we can feel our heart beating. With a stethoscope it
sounds like a bomb exploding. However, in our daily lives we don't even
notice that. Yet if Father were to touch one strand of Mr. Kim's hair
he will immediately feel that. The reason being that it breaks the
balance. But because our heartbeat is in total balance with our body,
we don't even think about it for months at a time. Isn't this true?
(Yes) Where there is perfect balance you don't feel any difference.
When we put our palms together, and we put something in between, when
it reaches the level of perfect balance you don't feel anything in
between.
Whom do you resemble? (God) Well, before talking about God, first of
all you resemble your parents. In many ways we all resemble our
parents, but we don't feel that because we are one with them. We all
have Love, Life, Lineage and Conscience within. The reason we often
don't feel them is because we are in total balance with them. These
four aspects Love, Life, Lineage and Conscience resemble God. God
Himself has Love, Life, Lineage and Conscience within Him. But because
they are in total balance, then God doesn't feel them either. It is
logical to say that although God has Love, Life, Lineage and
Conscience, He cannot feel the excitement, love and joy by Himself.
That is why He felt the necessity to create His love partner. God
wanted to experience the powerful stimulation of Love, Life, Lineage
and Conscience. So He created His love partner.
God created the environment first in preparation for humankind.
Without the four basic elements of sunlight, air, soil and water,
nothing can exist on the Earth. If we take away sunlight, for example,
life cannot be sustained. If we eliminate water, life cannot be
sustained. Each one of them is necessary. If we look at this sister's
head, it appears to be a solid thing, but if we look inside it there is
light, water, air and an element of soil. Within the environment there
is always a formula of subject and object. Even within the mineral
world the subject and object relationship exists, plus ion, minus ion.
This is the formula. This is true within the plant kingdom, the same
principle, stamen and pistil, the animal world, male and female and
humankind, man and woman. All of us exist within the boundary of this
formula.
The reason God created this entire world in the relationship of
subject and object was because God wanted to see the achievement of the
love relationship. The love relationship requires a subject and an
object. Without subject and object we cannot expect to find the give
and take action which creates the stimulating power of love. That is
why, even in the mineral kingdom, there is always this power of give
and take relationship. This give and take action creates a spherical
motion which exists eternally, centered upon True Love. In the plant
kingdom, the same action, stamen and pistil, having give and take,
centered on True Love, make the stimulation of Love power, Life power,
Lineage power, Conscience power, feeling everything, male and female
connecting, centered on love, all connecting to God, the original root,
vertically connecting. Horizontally, lower levels go up to high level
places where the center is true humankind. All love is where total plus
is man, total minus is woman.
When we look at the world of creation there are many different
levels of subject and object relationships that occur. If there is a
higher dimensional give and take action it will always absorb the lower
dimension give and take action of subject and object. When we observe
the plants and trees growing, they are actually absorbing the nutrients
from the mineral kingdom. When they absorb the nutrients from the
mineral kingdom then insects and animals, in turn, absorb these plants.
Insects eat the vegetables and small birds eat the small insects.
Larger birds, such as eagles and hawks, absorb the smaller birds. The
same is true within the animal kingdom. Who is the king of the entire
animal kingdom? Human beings. In fact, human beings are the most brutal
of all because they kill animals and eat them. In this case, who is
supposed to absorb human beings? God.
Darwin's theory of evolution claims that the strong eat the weak. We
may feel that to be brutal. If we stick with this evolutionary theory
then the strong can always kill the weak and there should be no crime
involved. However, that evolutionary theory does not contain the
Principle or theory of creation. The ultimate purpose of all levels of
creation is the original point of God's Creation of Love, Life, Lineage
and Conscience. This is true even for the mineral kingdom. Every aspect
of creation, plant kingdom, animal kingdom and humankind all have the
same goal, the same terminal point, which is the original point of
God's Life, Love, Lineage and Conscience.
However, there is a certain route, or process or ladder to reach
that original point. Minerals cannot reach that point all by
themselves. Rather, they have to go through plants, by being absorbed
by the plants. The plants have to be absorbed by insects and small
animals. Then small animals are absorbed by larger animals. The larger
animals are absorbed by human beings. Then in theory they will become
part of human beings and reach that final goal together with human
beings. When minerals are being absorbed by the plants, the plants are
in the position of plus and the minerals in the position of minus. The
ultimate goal of the minerals is to reach that original point of God's
Love, Life, Lineage and Conscience. In order to be absorbed by the
plant world they take many different forms: flowers, grasses, trees,
fruits. Through this they feel proud to become a beautiful flower or
delicious fruit in order to reach that original point.
In the same way, plants feel pride in becoming part of the animal
kingdom which will lead them to that original goal. Within the animals,
they desire to be absorbed by a higher being so that they can also
reach that original goal. But if there is a choice, the animals will
desire to be eaten by human beings because human beings have the most
direct access to this goal. All aspects of creation desire to reach
that original Life, Love, Lineage and Conscience palace. By doing so
all of these animals, plants and minerals desire to become a part of
human beings' sexual organs, which is the original Love, Life, Lineage
and Conscience palace. How precious this place is. All these created
beings, the minerals, plants and animals, are all being mobilized to
complete this substantial portion of the Living God, which is our
sexual organ, the ancestors' sexual organ.
There are two kinds of sexual organs: male and female. God
originally divided the sexual organ into two, creating a little
distance, so that their drawing together and meeting would be like an
explosion. This is where the stimulating excitement would take place.
This is what God wanted. Why were we given sexual organs? Because of
Life, Love, Lineage and Conscience. Without going through that
particular organ we cannot expect to have Life, Love, Lineage and
Conscience. We all have these four assets within, but a woman alone
cannot feel the excitement of these God-given assets. However, if the
most ugly young man should appear and stimulate her assets of Life,
Love, Lineage and Conscience then these assets would explode like an
atom bomb in front of him. And if the boy happened to be handsome then
the power of the explosion would be even greater!
In nature, we can observe the same phenomena. When it rains, what do
we see? Lightning and thunder! That is the natural world. That is a
marriage-like phenomenon in the world of weather. This is Nature's way
of marriage. Even though a man by himself as the subject has the assets
of Life, Love, Lineage and Conscience within, nothing happens without
his love partner, woman. In order for human beings to have all of this
exciting and stimulating joy and pleasure, the entire creation,
beginning with mineral, plant and animal kingdoms, are being mobilized
for that purpose, stage by stage, ultimately in order to reach that
ideal of God's love. The ultimate purpose of any small mineral is to
become a small element of the human sexual organ. No matter how
insignificant its role may be, nevertheless that is its goal. Which was
easier for God to create, our five senses or our sexual organs? In the
sexual organs, God created love, created humankind, created lineage,
created conscience and the second fruit, a baby. Without that, all of
the world of creation would cease. Until now humanity has not realized
that the sexual organ is the most precious place. The sexual organ is
the truth factory. This is true for you professors also. What good is
all your knowledge without your sexual organs?
This is enough for you today for Father's birthday message. This
really is the conclusion. (Laughter. Applause) However, there is one
thing that we need to clearly understand. The subject does not exist
for the subject. Man's sexual organ does not exist for man. It exists
eternally for his wife. There is absolutely only one owner eternally.
Not two. Is that clear? (Applause) The woman's sexual organ is
absolutely only one, her husband. No power on Earth nor in Heaven can
change this. Reverend Moon cannot change this. No matter how much power
True Parents have they cannot change this. No matter how powerful God
is He cannot change this. This is forever, unchanging power.
The sexual organ is the King's owner place, palace of the Life
King's place, Love King's place, Lineage King's place, Conscience
King's place. The place connecting to all human history. Do you
understand? (Yes) Do you clearly understand? (Yes) The owner of man's
sexual organ is absolutely, eternally his wife. Everyone has this kind
of precious place. It cannot be exchanged by anyone. It is the number
one precious place, place of number one value. It is absolutely the
King's Authority place. It has that kind of value. The original sexual
organ place. It is even positioned in a safe place from all harm. From
the original settlement place the original formula can expand to the
nation and the world, and on to the expansion of the Kingdom of Heaven
on Earth. This is the formula world. How can this be denied? Why do you
need the Bible? Rather, we need the concepts of the original world.
God's truth is high-level, number one. There is power there. Even a
small woman can control God with love power! With heart and body we
control and occupy our love partner, our property. Centered on True
Love, they become combined into one property. "Partner" means "mine
forever." My love partner cannot be exchanged any place, any time. God
descends and connects. Forever. The owner of woman's sexual organ is
absolutely, eternally her husband. No child wants to have two mothers
or two fathers. They absolutely want only one. Therefore absolutely,
there can be no divorce. The fallen world means that this formula is
completely broken down and ownership has been exchanged. Those of you
who want to have divorce in your life, please raise your hands. How
about free sex? How about the consumption of alcohol and drugs? How
about those who want to become gay or lesbian? That is the road that
will drive you to the bottom of Hell which is against the Principle of
Creation. Therefore, do you have the right to fool around? (NO)
Absolutely not.
Reverend Moon is teaching such a deep truth to humanity, and yet the
Unification Church has been given many dirty labels by the world. Do
you think that God is happy about that? (No) Do you think that God will
come forward and destroy the Unification Church or will He help it to
prosper? The reason that the Unification Church has grown and prospered
in the face of the worst kind of persecution in this world is because
God took the fortune from those who persecuted us, and blessed the
Unification Church with their fortune instead. That is how we have been
prospering in this world.
If the people of America were to propose to Reverend Moon that he
give up the position of True Parents and become the President of the
United States of America, do you think that Father would welcome such a
proposal or would he reject it? (Reject it) The True Parents are
forever, absolutely only one. How can that ever be exchanged for
anything? Never. Do you think that Father is happy sharing this kind of
story with you? In the secular world many people oppose Father when he
proclaims "True Parents." But they are the ones who will decline
eventually.
In the Garden of Eden the original couple, the original family was
lost. Therefore, we have to rediscover that original couple and family
by walking the road of indemnity. That is why, in these last days,
Reverend Moon came to this world as True Parents and gives blessings to
humankind so that their sins can be forgiven and build original couples
and the original family in this world once again. That is why Reverend
Moon is holding a 3.6 Million Couples Blessing this year. (Applause)
You are clapping with excitement but Father feels miserable. Because
when we go out to the world, who recognizes the value of the Blessing?
How many people? Father has overcome all the hurdles and difficulties
all of these years and has laid a strong enough foundation to launch
this kind of providential campaign this year of 3.6 Million Couples
Blessing. That is why you are now clapping and many dignitaries in the
secular world recognize it. However, Father had to pay an incredible
amount of indemnity to do so.
Do you think that God has eyes? (Yes) Have you seen them? (No) Then
how do you know? Because we resemble God and so God must resemble us.
Does He have ears, nose, mouth, hands and fingers? (Yes) In observing
this world, where can God find the ideal man, ideal family, ideal
tribe, nation and world that He originally desired to see and have? He
cannot find it anywhere. Because He cannot tolerate this evil world
God closes His eyes, ears and even pinches His nose so that He does not
have to smell this rotten world in its present condition. God cannot
destroy humanity because He is a God of love. Instead of destroying
humankind He turns His back and stays far away trom humankind in their
present situation.
We must understand that Adam and Eve gave birth to their children
only after being chased out from the Garden of Eden. The children of
Adam and Eve had nothing to do with God from their inception. These
children had nothing to do with God's Life, Love and Lineage.
Therefore, the world that they created was the world of Hell. This is
our present reality. No matter how famous you may be as a minister or
theologian here today, unless we can clean up this mess there is no one
who will be able to enter into the Kingdom of God. Reverend Moon has
the right to proclaim that this is the absolute truth. Someone may
declare that Reverend Moon is like a dictator insisting upon his own
dogma. Well, if you don't believe it, when you die and go to the
spiritual world you will see who is right.
Reverend Moon has absolute confidence in this truth from God. That
is why, even if all five billion people of this world oppose him he
really doesn't care. True Parents are only one couple in this world
among five billion people. Even scholars such as Dr. Rubenstein need
True Parents, don't they? More than the teachings, Reverend Moon
himself should be the question to you. Most valuable is the substantial
body, not truth. Body has all truth, concentrated, making oneness. The
center is the so-called flesh-body. Within it is finger-truth,
hand-truth, leg-truth, and so on.
At the time of the Garden of Eden it was Eve who began the deviation
away from God. I am now going to speak about the real historical
background of the Israelites. This kind of content has been hidden
until now. In the beginning of human history Eve committed sin. Since
Eve became the first sinner we can call her a bad woman. Generally
speaking, is it men or women who actually push the world in the wrong
direction? Generally speaking, wherever you may go it is easy to notice
that women like to take it easy, have a good time, eat delicious food,
and wear luxurious and expensive clothing, all of which Satan likes the
most. They like to boastfully walk down Fifth Avenue in New York City
with their expensive clothing, enticing men to look and admire them.
"Come to my bosom." "Come to Satan's king place." So we can generally
conclude that women are the first targets of Satan. You are the
connection to Satan more than men.
Women like to wear jewelry on their fingers, around their neck, and
on their ears. In a way, women act like a necklace to men by hanging
around their neck. (Laughter) This is true, because women are generally
shorter than men. This is the reason why women like necklaces. [Mr.
Kim: Father is giving a very interesting anecdote here] During the
Vietnam war thousands of American soldiers went to assist the
democratic side of Vietnam. After the war was over many soldiers
returned home. One particular wife who was awaiting her husband's
return had prepared herself in expensive clothes and jewelry and went
to wait for her husband to arrive. But he didn't come out from the
airplane. Everyone there seemed to find their husbands and left from
there happily. However, she was unable to find her husband. But at the
end of the line there was a man who seemed much smaller than her
husband, was not as handsome as she remembered and a little shabby
looking. He walked by her but she didn't recognize him and then she
looked more carefully and realized this was her husband. Once she
realized that this was her husband she ran to him and jumped on him and
hung around his neck like a necklace, without any hesitation. At that
very moment the husband was smiling and embraced his wife so happily.
While they were hugging one another the wife raised her right leg and
they went spinning around 360 degrees. In Father's mind, this is the
best piece of art. (Applause)
When this happens to you women, you should not have a big waist and
tummy, because if you have big tummy or big waist, it is uncomfortable
for you and your husband to make a circle. For that reason women should
have slim waists. And keep it that way. This is one of the ways in
which you can make your lives more exciting and happy. Whenever your
husband returns home from a long journey, or home from work, don't
just ignore him. Rather run to him and give him a hug around his neck
and make yourself like a necklace. This is how you will have a much
happier life together. You ministers try it. If your wife is wearing a
long pearl neckiace, while you are spinning around, and hugging, this
necklace will follow you. How beautiful a phenomena. Wonderful. Amen.
Why do you think that women like to wear rings more than men? The
ring and the finger represent the sexual organs of men and women.
Wearing a ring is like the joining of these two love organs. In order
to keep it safe the woman has to put the ring deeply onto her finger so
that it cannot be taken off. (Laughter) After you hear Father
explaining this to you in such a fun way, can you ever forget it? (No)
Now you wives remember all what Father has taught you today when you
wear your jewelry. This is for your love. It doesn't matter whether
you are young or old, all women live their lives hanging onto their
husband's love. If you lose the grip on the spouse's love that means
that your family is broken down. Is this true? (Yes) Do you follow
Father? (Yes)
Regarding the restoration through indemnity, was Eve's behavior in
the Garden of Eden good or bad? (Bad) How many male figures existed in
the Garden of Eden? (Lucifer, Gabriel, Michael, Adam and God) That is
correct. Five male figures. How many women? (One) Only one woman. Do
you think that God felt secure to leave Eve alone in the middle of the
Garden of Eden? (No) Against whom do you think you would try to protect
this particular woman knowing that this woman is supposed to grow to be
your spiritual spouse? When a master leaves his home to go on a
journey, usually he will leave some instructions or command to the
closest person to him. Either his wife or children. Not his servant or
his driver. That is why God gave His commandment to Adam and Eve not to
eat the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. He did not
leave this commandment with the Archangel or anyone else. What is the
fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. It is symbolic of the
woman's sexual organ.
Humankind was unaware until now that the fruit of the knowledge of
good and evil meant the fruit which had the potential to become good or
evil. There is no literal tree of good and evil. This is symbolic of
woman's sexual organ. The commandment should have remained with the
woman. God's original lineage was reversed through the Fall to Satan's
lineage and Satan's tradition. Eve was in the position of God's
daughter and His daughter-in-law as she was supposed to become Adam's
wife. Also she was supposed to be in the position of Adam's mother and
God's relative. However, she lost everything because of the misuse of
her sexual organ. Her original position was to stand as grandmother,
mother, wife, and daughter. After the Fall everything was cut down and
so God's side no longer had a woman figure. Because of this failure the
religions of the world generally emphasize celibacy.
God began the providence of restoration from Adam's family all the
way to restore the original state of the Garden of Eden where the
restored Adam and Eve could establish the ideal original family and
expand this to the ideal tribe, ideal nation and ideal world. Therefore
Jesus came as the Messiah, but even Jesus was unable to fulfill this
mission completely. Therefore, humankind is still awaiting the Lord of
the Second Advent. After the Fall, Adam and Eve were split two ways and
this split remained throughout history all the way down to Jesus. But
at the time of Jesus, the Israelites and Judaism were supposed to
become totally united centered on Jesus so that the ideal world could
be built. But due to their disbelief, this mission was unaccomplished.
Even after the coming of Jesus the entire world was divided into right
and left wings which eventually became communism and democracy.
Reverend Moon came to this world to reunite these two worlds. Now he
is pushing to have humanity build one world, not a divided world. That
is the goal that he has been pursuing. The divided world should become
one and make a complete circle.
In order for anyone to be able to enter into the Kingdom of God you
should have absolute unity between your mind and body and between
yourself and your entire family.
Remember, you as an individual are not able to enter into the
Kingdom of God. You need your family in order to enter. From this
perspective should Jesus have married or not? (Yes) We lost everything
at the time of Adam's family. At the time of Jesus the entire nation of
Israel and Judaism should have worked together to form Jesus' family so
that the entire nation and people could enter the Kingdom together.
Immediately following World War II, Great Britain was in the
position of the mother nation, America was in the position of Abel and
France was in the position of Cain. England was an island nation,
surrounded by the ocean. In a sense the island is always longing to
become part of the mainland. The United States was probably the first
nation to be established by the Protestants. The nation of France
stood in the position of enemy nation to both England and America.
However, these three enemy nations became one right after World War II.
The real force to unite them was the power of Christianity.
Christianity represents the bride culture. Christianity means bride
culture place. Bride wants to meet bridegroom. Without the bride, the
bridegroom has no value.
Because of Jesus's crucifixion only spiritual salvation was
accomplished. Christianity needed the substantial body, the substantial
figure as Lord. On the other hand, three axis nations existed at the
time of World War II: these were Japan, Germany and Italy. Japan was an
island nation like England. Hitler stood in the Abel position on
Satan's side. He killed the Judeo-Christian world. He was the worst
kind of man. After World War II, centered upon Christianity, the
unification of the three allied nations came about. The reason God
created the unification of the Christian world was for the sake of the
coming bridegroom. England was in the position of the mother nation and
she bore a son, America. France was in the position of the enemy
nation, Cain's position. The mother nation and Cain and Abel combined
into one.
If those allied nations had received the Lord of the Second Advent
then the entire world could have been restored right then and there.
However, they were waiting for the Lord to come on the clouds. The
Christians were unaware of the true reality. Just as in the time of
Jesus, the Israelites were waiting for Elijah to return in a fiery
chariot. But, in reality John the Baptist came in the position of
Elijah. The Christians made the same mistake right after World War II.
They were expecting the Lord of the Second Advent to appear on the
clouds. However, they should have realized that Reverend Moon came as
the Lord of the Second Advent to work with them and restore humanity.
(Applause)
Reverend Moon had to come in the flesh in order to indemnify the
time of Jesus. Nobody knew how to unite the communist and free world.
The only one who was able to do this was Reverend Moon. However, he was
rejected. Jesus wanted to embrace the right and left hand thieves,
representing the right and left wings, in his time in order to build
one world under God. Unfortunately, this did not take place. This
caused the right and left wings to be divided right there and
eventually become the communist and democratic or free worlds. Reverend
Moon's mission was to unite them together and to re-build the one world
under God, the original world which God had intended from the very
beginning.
The restoration of the individual, family, tribe, nation and world
was done by Father at every level, one level at a time, making a circle
of 360 degrees, completing the entire circle. Through the Blessing
ceremony Father is accomplishing this cleanup job from the individual,
family, tribal, national and worldwide family. Once this 3.6 Million
Couples Blessing is accomplished within six months we can even
undertake a 36 Million Couples Blessing. (Applause) If we reach our
goal this year, this Blessing will become like a fad, sweeping like a
heavenly wind throughout the entire world. Then students will begin
asking their teachers the meaning of the Unification Church marriage.
They will want to know: is the Unification Church marriage better than
secular marriages? What kind of response do you think that their
teachers will give to them? (Yes)
At the beginning of human history, this evil seed was sown in the
Garden of Eden. In these last days the secular world is reaping these
evil fruits represented by all of the decadence of morality in this
world. However, God cannot intervene directly in this, just as He was
not able to intervene at the time of Adam and Eve's fall. Only True
Parents have the right and knowledge to intervene at this juncture.
(Applause) No matter how powerful God may be, still He is not able to
deal with fallen couples. Do you understand? (Yes) They represent evil
parents, evil love, evil life, evil lineage and evil conscience and
those four characteristics cannot connect with God's ideal viewpoint.
Therefore, God cannot touch them. With the appearance of True Parents
the Blessing of marriage can be given and upon that foundation God is
able to touch everything, because of True Love Lineage. The fallen
world does not connect with God's blood lineage. Through the Blessing
of True Parents humankind can reconnect with God's original blood
lineage.
There may exist those who are older than True Parents even those who
died long ago, who, horizontally speaking, stand in the position of
Father's elders, but once True Parents appear in this world they all
become True Parent's children and grandchildren downwards, because
there has to be only one line established to God. Until this time two
lines have existed. True Parents are needed in order to restore this
satanic line and make one line to God. From God's viewpoint, fallen
children exist in this world and they are supposed to be restored. The
restoration through indemnity occurs through the restoration of the
satanic lineage so that they are able to stand behind the Abel heavenly
lineage line and form one straight line behind True Parents. This is
how they can follow True Parents into the Kingdom. The Last Days means
the crossing point of these two lines. The heavenly line goes above and
the satanic line goes below.
Centering on this crossing point we can expand from the individual,
family, tribal, national and worldwide level. This directional line is
True Love. This angle will represent individual, family, tribal,
national and world levels as the angle increases. In the Last Days we
have to totally negate ourselves. Otherwise we will never be able to
join the heavenly line. Negation should occur at eight different
stages. This is why most religions have encouraged individuals to leave
their families, their societies and follow the path of God and live as
monks and nuns, because God had been alone up until this point and True
Parents had not yet appeared. Therefore, how could humanity marry and
have children?
Even some religious people are practicing homosexuality today. Who
knows how many of them have HIV. On the contrary, the Unification
Church is instructing its membership to become tribal messiahs of their
clans and, as Blessed couples, have their relatives all receive the
Blessing in True Parents' name. Even you prominent theologians here
today cannot deny this teaching.
There are two different lines of lineage. On Satan's side there is
the elder son, elder king and elder parents. This group has to be
restored back in order to rejoin the heavenly lineage. Simply speaking,
we have to restore the secular families back to the heavenly families.
This is what is needed. From God's point of view there are two
different kinds of mothers and children. In order to restore them it
requires that the younger son take the elder sonship, father should
become the son and the son should become the father. Grandparents
should become the grandchildren, grandchildren become the grandparents.
This kind of reversal is needed.
Adam was in the position of head of the family. Jacob was in the
position of head of the tribe. In Jacob's time, he had to implement
this course of restoration which was the reverse course. In the Garden
of Eden Eve cheated God's elder son, Adam and God. Through this she
turned over the entire family to Satan. Therefore at the time of Jacob,
Isaac's wife Rebecca, who was the mother of Jacob, cheated her husband,
father and elder son figure, Esau. Rebecca took this family back to the
elder son and God. This was the reversal of this course. That is the
course of indemnity. Rebecca, in Eve's position, had to take the
indemnity way and reverse the course.
Israel means victory. What is the meaning of this victory? The
reversal of the lineage from Satan back to God's side. At the time of
Tamar, she was married to two of Judah's sons. Both of them died
without leaving children. Tamar felt the importance of the continuation
of this lineage and knew she was the one to carry it on. She wanted to
marry the third son. However, Judah forbade it. Risking her life, Tamar
deceived Judah, her father-in-law, into having a sexual relationship
with her by disguising herself as a prostitute in order to continue
this lineage. She conceived twins, who fought in her womb to be born
first. God told her that two nations were fighting in her womb. The
restoration which took place at the time of Jacob between the elder and
younger brother, now took place directly inside the womb of Tamar
between her two sons.
Through this complicated course of restoration through indemnity, at
the time of Jesus mother Mary had to indemnify the course of Tamar
before she could give birth to Jesus. This is the brief history of the
Old Testament era and the dawning of the New Testament era. By the time
Jesus was born the Roman Empire had spread throughout the world.
Therefore, Jesus needed the national level foundation in order to deal
with the Roman Empire. If Jesus had not died, but rather had been
supported and accepted by the Israelites and Judaism, then and only
then, upon that foundation he could have conquered the Roman Empire
within seven years. However, he was crucified. After murdering their
True Parents, the Jewish people have been wandering throughout human
history; since that time millions of Jews have been killed.
Everyone, regardless of their nationality, race, or religion, from
the individual level to the worldwide level, all need True Parents.
Once you truly understand the value of True Parents then the entire
world can be united. That is the key.
We need to clearly understand the relationship between mother Mary
and Zachariah's family. If Jacob's family was the starting point at the
tribal level, then Mary and Zachariah's family were the starting point
of the national level providence. In the family of Jacob, Rachel should
have become the first wife, not Leah. However, Leah became the first
wife. In this regard, that particular providence failed. The mother was
supposed to assist her daughters so that order could be established in
the correct way. However, this was reversed. If Rachel's mother had
been totally united with Rachel and had pushed Leah away, then at the
tribal level Rachel could have become the first wife of Jacob. The same
mistake took place at the time of Jacob because of these two wives. At
the time of Adam and Eve, Eve was supposed to become the first wife of
Adam, but only after she had made a relationship with Satan did she
become Adam's wife. This meant the order was reversed. Same situation.
At the time of Jesus, on the national level, in the family of
Zachariah this order had to be straightened out. The position of the
original wife was taken by Elizabeth, Zachariah's wife. Elizabeth's
son was John the Baptist. However, through them alone there was no way
to complete the restoration. There had to exist the younger sister's
position in order to establish the heavenly lineage. Because of the
Fall of Man, restoration always has to come about through the second
wife, the concubine line. That has been the history of restoration.
In Jacob's family, Leah hated her younger sister Rachel and she
completely dominated Jacob and produced ten children, whereas Rachel
had only two children. However, Elizabeth, the wife of Zachariah
actually volunteered to introduce Mary to Zachariah because of her
revelation from God. She allowed Mary to stay in her family for three
months. A woman doesn't become pregnant through staying overnight. If
you really research into the Bible you will see this. Therefore, after
three months of staying in Zachariah's household Mary became pregnant.
Mary had the responsibility to indemnify the failure of Eve as well as
the failure of Rachel and Leah. Therefore while she was pregnant she
had to deceive her husband figure (Joseph) as well as her father
figure.
Because of Mary's success in reversing the course which had failed
at the time of Eve, Rebecca and Tamar, now the son she had in her womb
at the national level was sanctified. That is why she was able to give
birth to the Holy Son of God, Jesus. Jesus was born completely free of
Satanic accusation. God controlled everything concerning his conception
and birth. He was God's begotten true son; begotten son, begotten
father, begotten king, like Adam. Turn back everything to God from
Satan's world. There is no way out from the restoration through
indemnity. We have to go through that course. The message that Father
wanted Mr. Peter Kim to read to you was given this year on the Day of
the Victory of Love. Briefly Father will explain to you the meaning of
the Day of the Victory of Love and we will conclude today.
Because Jesus Christ went to the spiritual world without
establishing his own family in this physical world, he has to come back
again. Because Jesus did not have his family foundation here on the
Earth he remains in Paradise, not in the Kingdom of Heaven. On the
cross Jesus promised the right hand thief that he would be with him in
Paradise that day. He did not say the Kingdom of Heaven. Why? Because
the Kingdom of Heaven is only open to the family level perfected
people. [One of the Christian ministers present said: "I now
understand better than I did before"] (Applause)
The meaning of the Second Advent is the Lord coming down to this
Earth to find his bride and establish his family. Because Jesus lost
his bride in this physical world he has to return again to this
physical realm. Jesus gave the keys of Heaven to Peter and told him,
"Whatever is tied up on Earth will be tied up in Heaven. Whatever is
untied on Earth will be untied in Heaven." This means that this world
is now completely decadent. Therefore these problems have to be solved
in this realm. God has to restore His family, nation and world here in
this physical world to begin with. Where did God lose His family, His
tribe, His nation, His world? Up in Heaven? No. Right here on this
Earth! Disease erupted right here in the physical world. So it has to
be cured here. We have to untie the knot here in this physical world.
(Amen) That Amen from Christian ministers sounded too weak. (AMEN)
(Applause)
Most religious leaders and Christian leaders do not clearly
understand the spiritual world. The physical and spiritual worlds are
like two palms together. Counterparts of each other which should become
one. Unless we have total unity between mind and body we cannot unite
the spiritual and physical worlds. Do you want your love partner to
hold double standards? (No) Do you think that God's mind and body are
separated? (No) God is absolutely one, and upon that foundation He
created this entire world. Because of the Fall of Man, only human
beings are still separated. Therefore we must become one between mind
and body. Once we are absolutely one, then and only then, can we become
united with God. That is the only hope that we have. Satan always tries
to divide us. Wherever conflict exists, there Satan resides.
Within Christianity there is always conflict. Between Catholics and
Protestants there is always fighting. God does not stay with them.
Whenever you are divided one from another, God is not present. The
beginning point of peace is within your own mind and body. The war
between the mind and body is the most fearful of all wars. We need a
cease-fire. You must control your body no matter how difficult the
situation may be. The problem with fallen human beings is that their
five senses all operate in two different ways instead of one absolute
way. Do you young people here understand this clearly? (Yes) The
problem is your inability to unite your minds and bodies. The mind is
so sorrowful to have lost God's True Love because of the fallen body.
Do you American women understand? (Yes)
America and the Christian world have been my enemies. They have
wanted to kill me until now. But my desire is to save this enemy. The
most fearful enemy is our own body. Because our body connects to
satanic love, life and lineage, we must be vigilant in controlling our
body's desires. You all have been out fundraising where you must be
humbled. This is a most serious issue. In the fallen sense, the sexual
organs of men and women are their worst enemy. Most fearful place. This
is because of the Fall.
In the Last Days, the children from the second wives, or the
concubine lineage, will become the leaders of the world. Because of
this law of restoration through indemnity the lineage of the first wife
will have to go through the lineage of the second wife. That is the
reversal process. Originally in Jacob's family centering upon Rachel,
the second wife, she was to produce the elder son of Jacob. However,
because of the conflict between Leah and Rachel, Rachel lost that
right.
In order for us to feel true joy we have to comfort God who has been
suffering great han throughout the course of history. The only
way is to reverse the world of Hell into the world of the Kingdom of
God. That is our mission and that is the meaning of a day such as this
and the attitude we should have deep within us on such a day as this.
Do you understand? Upon the victorious foundation which True Parents
themselves set up, Heung Jin Nim could pass into the spiritual world.
Even in the spiritual world Heung Jin Nim could travel freely between
the spiritual world and the physical world based on True Parents
victorious foundation here. Also he was able to expand his influence
throughout the spiritual world and become king and embrace Jesus and
lay a strong enough foundation. Therefore at the time of the 3.6
Million Couples Blessing, Heung Jin Nim will be able to give the
Blessing in the spiritual world. (Applause)
In the world of the Unification Church we have no concept of death.
We are living together with the spiritual world, are we not? (Yes)
Centered upon God's True Love I give my blessing upon the Unification
Church for long life, long peace, success and victory in restoring this
entire world. Amen. (Amen) (APPLAUSE)
