Mass Weddings: World Peace Through Marriage

What is the distinction of God-given marriages and current ones?  Simply, the first marriage was outside of God's dominion and has been ever since.  We are blessed to our spouses in a 'conditional' marriage before God.  A True God-Given marriage sanctified and given approval by God will cleanse the blood lineage of the children and they will be born free of sin. 

Who has been in a marriage that has such a blessing? Every human was born into the bloodline of Satan's lineage, whose word we followed instead of God's, except Jesus.  Also, we have stated in several posts that Jesus was to plant God's seed substantially on earth through his holy blessed marriage directly sanctified by God and produce - Holy Sinless Children.  This was God's first choice. 

These two paragraphs alone explain a considerable amount about biblical history: why Jesus begged to stay on earth if it was God's will, why God dispersed the Israelites after they murdered Jesus and why Jesus returned in our time.

Since Jesus could not marry, he could only set the foundation for spiritual salvation, Jesus returned to the earth in our time to complete his mission to cleanse the bloodline through his holy children leaving the foundation for humanity to have physical salvation.  Who can deny that Jesus, no matter how holy, lost the battle of his body to satan.  This has to be reversed.

God’s desire is to end human suffering and build a world of true, peaceful families. God needs for us to take care of our portion of responsibility. If humankind receives and acts decisively upon God’s message, the achievement of God’s Kingdom will be relatively swift and joyful. If not, God’s and humanity’s suffering will be prolonged, and the misery and needless deaths will continue.

 
Blessing of Marriage by True Love

Then how can God’s headache be solved? How can families become fundamentally healthy? How can divided religions reconcile and cooperate under God? That answer is in the international Marriage Blessing Ceremony. The Messiah upon his return, Dr. Reverend Sun Myung Moon and his wife, began officiating blessing of marriage ceremonies starting with three couples in 1960.

With God’s help and going beyond nation, race, and religion, the blessing ceremony of 39.6 million couples, promising purity and fidelity, was carried out in Korea at one time.  This phenom has been titled Mass Wedding or Moonie Wedding ceremonies.



Here is an excerpt from one blessing ceremony:

"Respected leaders! I only want to stress once again that, through the Marriage Blessing, the world’s families can stabilize and finally fulfill their original role. For true family to be restored, we have to establish true love character, we have to attend God, and we have to seriously pledge to become true couples and true parents. Those harmonious families that are restored to the ideal through the Marriage Blessing Ceremony can create a peaceful society, nations, and world.
"This Marriage Blessing that encompasses all nations, races, and religions and goes beyond all boundaries is itself the foundation for world peace. Is this not God’s desire? That this miraculous number of families – almost 40 million! – can participate in this blessing of marriage is because of the active support of the world’s religious leaders. It was also made possible because many national leaders agreed that this true family movement can cure the fundamental teenage problems and the breakdown of families, and they have actively supported it. I would like once again to thank all the volunteers.

"The Marriage Blessing Ceremony can awaken people, especially young people, to the value of true love, and it can become the motive and catalyst for them to realize the necessity of absolute purity. All the world’s good young men and women who are awakened through this movement should gather together to stand up for a true love revolution, establishing themselves as eternal couples under God’s blessing.

"All these new families can receive support from already married couples who have renewed their vows before God and practice right ethics, and they can all become examples of moral citizens and build an ideal family, society, nation, and world – the fruit of true love.

"The Marriage Blessing Ceremony eradicates the connection to false (satan's) love and brings to life the holy content and value of marriage centered on absoluteness. This ceremony recovers true couples’ love, true parents’ love, and true children’s love. Therefore, those who participate in the Marriage Blessing Ceremony value purity and trust as highly as they do their lives and promise unchanging couple’s love.

"On the foundation of that true love, they can establish a true family, raise true children, and pledge to sacrifice themselves to build a true nation and peaceful world. In the world of the future, God, humankind, and creation are in harmony, living in a new culture of heart, a culture of love centered on true family.

"In the world of the future, true love means living for the sake of others in a world of interdependence, mutual prosperity, universally shared values, and cooperation. In the future, the natural desire of young people to live in a world of true brothers and sisters, one family of mankind, will be realized by centering on true love, true parents, and true family.

"Esteemed world leaders, the Marriage Blessing is the most precious gift that God is giving to us. My wife and I devoutly hope that you will participate in this historic ceremony to receive God’s blessing of marriage. From now on, the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification will expand the true family movement. By the year 2001 we will carry out the 360 million couples blessing in three different events. Because of immorality and the loss of values, our young people are falling into moral decadence, and the family is being utterly destroyed.

"Is there anything more important than saving humanity from plunging into ruin? My effort to globalize and universalize the True Family Movement and the Marriage Blessing Ceremony, which are the fundamental solutions to save humanity, needs the active support from respected leaders like you.

 "Those who understand the fundamental problem and the solution God is offering should band together within their country and form a True Family Marriage Blessing support group and create a movement to save your nation. I ask that you put yourselves at the center of this great work to restore humankind to its original ideal. We have to quickly educate all men and women so they can establish true families and enter into the age of God-centered kingship on earth and heaven, centered on true love, and live in the victorious world of freedom, peace, and unity."
