We speak about World Peace, beauty queens speak about world peace even soccer players and politicians all have the agenda toward world peace. Is world peace simply just war ending and everyone laying down their weapons as a nation?
Then if this was to happen what about on a societal level of peace? Is it true peace if there is no more war, but people still are afraid to leave their homes in their neighborhoods, or go home because of a fear of a spouse?
What is truly World Peace and what will it look like when God's ideal dream finally is realized in our reality?
After we entered into the new millennium we moved quickly in the direction of an unified world. The twentieth century was the most violent in all of human history. The religious call this Armageddon. the last struggle between the good side of God's people and the evil side that fought on the side of satan through the use of the communistic world.
We are going beyond the "one nation under God" and are moving toward "one universe under God". This will bring about the universal family that was prophesied for many centuries. Some call. this the Utopia. A world of peace.
This will now begin to become a reality and not just a work of fiction or an fruitless dream of many who fought for good.
Even in this new era, there are obstacles on this path toward world unity pertaining to racism and religious strife which are a formidable, lingering force.
God is the first ancestor.
These obstacles stand against His will. God does not see race or national borders. In reality, the five different colors of humanity reflect the climate from which they originate.
White people began in the Arctic region and spread through Scandinavia, Britain and across the world. The yellow race lived mainly in Asia practicing agriculture. They have a deep love for the land. Their soft skin eventually turned brown. Black people are like the black bear of the tropics. Their skin is black because they lived near the equator where the sun's ray's are intense.
The different skin
colors among the races have no significance in terms of superiority or
inferiority. It is simply a matter of our having adapted to different
environments.
The make up of every human's body is 99.6% identical. God did not create skin color. He is the God of love and He is colorblind. To God, color does not hold any qualitative importance. In the spirit world, color does not exists - only the color of true love.
In the spirit world,
there are no walls between nations, denominations, or religions. It is a world
composed of one huge family.
Jesus' words:
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one
and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal
life,"
John 3:16
Let's take a look beyond the boundaries of Christianity to reveal the nature of salvation on a universal, global level.
One roadblock to a peaceful world is the divisions among the religious group. God only created religion in order to usher in the new world and teach you and me the path to walk. He did not create religion to break into different denominations and religious groups.
Religion is the direct result of the fall - not a part of God's original ideal.
Originally, Adam and Eve would directly link their love to God directly and bare children with God's lineage. Satan is the originator who created division between religions, nations and peoples.
Satan works to build barriers between the people and God works hard to tear these barriers down.
The great founders in spirit world, Jesus, Buddha, Muhammad and Confucius have worked as well to tear down any barriers between their followers in spirit world. These leaders can go back and forth and communicate freely with one another.
In the future, the Home Church format of witnessing of God's love to 360 people in your hometown will gradually become well established on earth.
Ultimately, organized churches, temples and mosques will disappear.
Why doesn't God just intervene and return the world to the original Garden? Even Satan does not want to destroy the evil world he created. God by Himself alone cannot reverse the ill effects of the fall. If He had the ability to do this alone, He would have prevented the Fall or would have reversed the problem as soon as it happened and end sin within the first generation of Adam's family.
The only one that can reverse the mistake of Adam partaking in false love is a person who conquered on the individual level the position of Adam before the Fall. The perfected Adam's family is the only family that will possess the original nature of love that originated from God.
Jesus was brought to earth and became the perfected Adam, but many wrong paths of the people of his time occurred and instead of building a world of peace centering on his family, he went the secondary way through the cross in order to bring about salvation through the spiritual level only.
In the original world, parents would officiate their children's ceremony where the children come to resemble their parents and inherit the parents' lineage.
Restoring the Order of Love
"The completion of the unification of
all the religions in both the spiritual and physical worlds have been declared. All the saints in
the spirit world, my own children who have joined the spirit world and all the
blessed couples were included.
In summary, the True Parents are the king and
queen of the families. Has there ever been anyone who could claim that he or she
is the king or queen of the family, standing as a representative of heaven and
earth, with absolute purity?
In order to become the king of the family, we have
to become the parents among parents and the first son among first sons."
All of Creation Has an Order
There is an order to everything. Among brothers, the first son should be the first to marry and start his family. The order is violated a lot these days which mirrors the path of restoration for humanity. People go this and that way, follow the reverse order; the disorder should come to an end.
When the right order is not followed, everything will fall apart. The world has become this way.
How do we begin to repair or undo these problems? All problems that deal with illicit love relationships stem from this confusion. When people revolve around without knowing the center or the source, these wrong kinds of relationships occur.
As a consequence, they grab and consume one another. In this era of confusion, chaos and family-level disarray, people bump around hooking up with one another without any sense of order. This goes even beyond the national level.
The self-indulgent lifestyle of many diplomats can testify to this statement.
God could not interfere with the tragedy of the fall or with marriages. Even in these Last Days. Since it was the first parents that became false parents through false love and false life centering on satan's ideal, the true parents have to reject these false ideals and restore true love, life and lineage through indemnity.
Liberation Through Sacrifice
What is the meaning of Matthew 10:39,
"Those who seek their life will lose
it"?
We should be able to reach beyond the level of death in fulfilling God's
providence. We should be able to say, "I still have energy to do God's work,
even after I die."
In this way, we will live.
There is no resurrection for those who
fear death and run away to save themselves.
Even if God takes the position where He might lose His life, He will live. But if God lives for only His own sake and His own being and life, there there will be no completion of the ideal world.
This is how God saves fallen humanity. When you throw a rope to the bottom of the pit you have to keep pulling the rope up until you bring everybody up to the top. This is how God offers everything to humankind Therefore, He is not sitting up on His throne enjoying being glorified.
Therefore, the Messiah should work even harder than God and be willing to lose his own life.
Those in the Western word always shout out, "I want freedom! Freedom!" Even though the Western world has high-standard education, it is still confined within the context of the fallen world. The idea of family, society, world, religion and the providence of God are missing. In this respect the Oriental and Western systems are 180 degrees opposite of the other. Even the family concept is different.
"Ultimately we even have to liberate God. I started from the
smallest level and finally came to the position of liberating God."
Therefore in these last days, the concepts of the Western world will diminish where we cannot find the concept of tribe, people nation, world and cosmos in this selfish individualism. How do we begin to awaken a new concept in the world and cosmos?
Reverend Sun Myung Moon has brought the Completed Testament The Divine Principle to the earth by conquering satan spoken of in the book of Revelations. He has taught the view of the family all the way to the view of God.
How was it done? By starting with the smallest point: mind-body unity.
When one clings to selfish individualism, he cannot reach a position of absolute unity in order to build a family, nation and world that can return to God. Individualism is the enemy of religion, conscience and God. It is connected directly to satan. It makes no
difference whether you are a laborer or a graduate of Yale, Harvard or Oxford, this rule is true for all.
The life of free sex and homosexuality will lead people to drugs and AIDS which are detrimental to human survival.
Have No Fear
We have entered the era of Heaven on Earth where the True Parents and children have been liberated. There is nothing to fear even if you are locked up, you should not be afraid.
The cosmos is in my hands. You should not deny that you have ultimate value as a child of God. You should not worry.
Today, by holding God's kingship ceremony, we have changed the nation. It is
the time to worry about how to follow the will of God. God has been pained with
the history of resentment. We need to provide the supportive force so that God
can do whatever He wants to do freely without restrictions.
His children are to build heaven on earth and should be able to say to God, "Please wake up and take me along." From now on things will change. You should know how to guide Him. God is to have full authority based on this new kingship.
Before, satan was the ruler of this world doing as he pleased breeding suffering. Thankfully, that old world has now passed away and it is time to bring in new wineskins.
How do you achieve individual perfection?
It comes through the mind and body becoming one. When we centered our mind and body on satan at the time of the fall, we inherited his blood lineage. This fallen blood became stronger than the conscience. To cut this tragedy we should under no circumstances follow bodily desires.
Three Immutable Laws
We should recognize that there are immutable laws that we should follow:
The first law is not to stain the blood lineage even unto the point of dying.
The second law is not to infringe upon another human's rights or heart.
Whether we are female, male, black or white we are all equal with God as our Ultimate Parent.
One must not discriminate or violate human rights. Extending this, one in the leadership position should not change someone else's position based solely on their own feelings.
The one who practices true love, honoring human rights in the correct way,
living for the sake of others, is in the mainstream.
The creation of heaven and
earth began from that point. Whoever commits an act that dilutes or squanders
this main current of thought is not to be tolerated. Violation of this is the
second of all sins.
The third law is to refrain from stealing money to fulfill selfish desires.
Seventy percent of the people in jail are there because of these crimes. If you
are imprisoned, you will see this is true. Human rights infringements and
lineage violations are problems that concern man and woman. Then come the money
problems. Following these are the problems dealing with power and money.
The third law pertains to taking money solely to benefit selfish desires. The jail system is filled with crimes such as these. The human rights and lineage violations concern both the men and the women. Then comes the power and money problems.
Money, knowledge and power have ruled the satanic world.
Starting today should pledge not to contaminate the blood lineage bequeathed through God's love and life. To not follow the actions of the fallen world. Even if your spouse dies, you must pledge that you will not stain the blood lineage. When a husband and wife quarrel, they should be able to stop immediately when they remember this unbreakable, impermeable determination. Once you understand this principle, you must abide by it even if you have to die a thousand times.
What's the first? Purity! Second? Abuse of human rights! Third? Misuse of
money!
This is absolute necessary to maintain the kingship of heaven. Therefore, do not neglect your older brother or younger brother. In the secular world, people do not care if their siblings need help, but we cannot neglect in-laws or relatives.
How Shall We Live?
Those who graduated from a university neglect those who only have a high school diploma. This is a sin. It violates human rights.
In the beginning, God called out to Cain and asked where was his brother and Cain answered that he was not his brother's keeper. This was after Cain had murdered Abel. Those with a selfish lifestyle will not succeed no matter how lavish or great a life they may portray. Try living this way or look at many people who have fallen from the top.
Following this offense is the misuse of money. The selfish abuse of the public environment is just as sinful and fearful as the misuse of public money.
The whole universe dislikes those who incur a debt.
Would those in a family or clan love it if one of the members created a debt that caused the whole clan to fall into debt? In the end the whole clan would punish this person. Debt does not always mean money.
"Do you understand the three points? Count the number of determinations you
have made in your heart to follow the laws of the kingdom of heaven. Do you
pledge to do that? The laws have to do with purity, equalization of all people,
and proper use of national property. You should understand everything well and
make it habitual.
You will avoid the wrong actions only when you reach the stage
in which as soon as your mouth opens these articles of the kingdom of heaven
come out.
There is no doubt you will face these challenges in life. There will probably
be many such circumstances, but if you make an effort to abstain from violating
the law, the challenges will make you a victorious person. As long as you keep
up with these heavenly laws, you do not need Reverend Moon's teaching. You will
naturally enter the Kingdom of God."
We all want to live a good life. Does anyone consider living alone a good life? We should live together. Then what kind of people, rules and environment would be best for this environment?
There are three simple answers: The parent-child relationship, the conjugal relationship and the brother-sister relationship.
Brothers and sisters are in the position of children in front of their parents;it refers to a relationship among children of the same parents.
When you share the same mother and father, naturally you have the brother-sister relationship. Those of the extended family such as in-laws and all cousins are related. Once the parent-child relationship and conjugal relationships are connected, the brother and sisters automatically exist.
Then all of the relationships that are shared between humankind would become a brother-sister relationship on the worldwide level. God created these relationships in order for us to live a great life of harmony.
If you cannot become a model for others to live the best life, then you are not leading a true life.
Every person has to be an example to others because in order to live a virtuous life, guidance is necessary. If you can become an example before the mother, father, husband and wife and the children, then you are living a virtuous life.
Goals for Your Life
The time will come when the nation will recognize the family within
its borders that is living the best life. This family will have three generations each of which form the perfected four-position foundation (the oneness of God, husband, wife and children).
The time will come when the president will present the award inside the home of the family exemplifying the best life.
"There are three relationships, parent and child, husband and wife, and among
the children. The brother-sister relationship is a consequence of the harmony of
all these relationships.
Therefore, whether in a brother-sister relationship or
children's relationship, in order to become a person standing in the position of
subject, you must influence others positively, such that not even one person can
live without you.
From now on, even if you are accused as a traitor and executed in the view of
the world, if you keep these things absolutely, your family will belong to the
heavenly royal family that possesses eternal freedom, unity and liberation.
I want you to remember this clearly. Keep it as a motto. In the motto of the
third millennium, I mentioned pure lineage, the equality of human rights, and
the preservation of national public assets. That means, do not be a thief.
What
is next?
Be an example!
Be an exemplary parent, exemplary spouse, exemplary
child and exemplary sibling. If you form such a family, people in your
neighborhood will say, "We should follow that person. I want to live with him."
That person is surely a citizen of kingdom of heaven, and heaven will remember
that family forever.
I explained to you on this historic day, the day of the Coronation Ceremony
of God's Kingship, the three most important things that humankind must uphold
and by which you can be truly liberated in your family and in your nation. I
hope you can remember these contents and keep them as the goals of your
life.
In the Completed Testament era, we must understand about the spirit world.
May you study about spirit world and God, and may you live for the sake of
others. If you do so, you will receive the blessing and become a blessed family.
Through living for others, you prepare for your eternal life. We all should try
to gain this heavenly fortune, which surpasses the fruit of all earthly
effort.
In front of the living God, with humility, let us be children of filial piety
and loyalty. Let us become the sacred children of God. In light of God's
sovereignty, in this age of kingship, let us stand together to establish a world
of peace, love and harmony.
May God bless you and your family.
Thank you very much." SMM
