A True Family is the Kingdom of Heaven

The beginning point of Kingdom of Heaven is not based on an individual or nation, but a family. 

Jesus knew this and sought to work through the relationship of a bride and a groom on earth.  

Is the starting point through an individual?  

No, it is a family.  The family is the basic foundation for the Kingdom of Heaven.

Once you visit the Kingdom of Heaven where there is only unity, you will never want to return back.  

You will never tire of dwelling there with God’s beloved.

If all of humankind wanted to live and meet there, then the world will unify quickly.

This does not happen all at once.  

First, an individual must unite his warring mind and body or flesh and extended this through the family, national and worldwide levels. 

Your family represents the sovereignty of heaven:

Parents represent sovereignty, children represent the nation and your possessions represent the land.  To be dutiful toward your parents means to be loyal to the nation and to practice being saints.  This was the original ideal world.

Instead, we have fallen families that are the origin of disgraceful behavior.  God truly believes that the family can be the sacred site to turn all of history around.

Our mission is to guide all corrupted families in the fallen world toward the heavenly path.  We do not have the right to turn away from them.

These three, parents, children and belongings are necessary components defining the boundary of a family.

A husband’s duty is to relate to the church, and his wife should tend to the material.

Then the family members should become completely one.  This is where the Kingdom of Heaven starts at this point.

Heaven is only established if a couple becomes one centering upon God’s love.

This union can never be dissolved and it will never split.

What kind of love are you centered upon?  

If you found God’s love, your mind and body are completely one so He can dwell completely in you.

The Kingdom of Heaven is realized through a family where a father and mother are completely one through God’s love and the children love them.

“As Father did when he started the Unification Church, you must take sincere care of your friends when they visit your house. You have to make them say, "Your house is better than mine. This meal is more delicious than at my house. Can I stay here one more night?" 

“When you make your house a place where every guest or friend wants to come and live, even abandoning their own families, you have the Kingdom of Heaven of a family.”

We don't need so many people in the church. The Kingdom of Heaven starts not from the church but from a family -- namely, from a bridegroom and a bride. 

The woman was born to see a man and a man born to see a woman.

The first person on earth a baby sees when he or she is born is ‘mommy’.  A couple should treat each other in a way that the husband calls the wife the same way the baby calls their mother and vice versa.

A couple that lives in this way will not envy young couples when they get older.

The whole family should participate in worship service and learn from exemplary families and guide the families that are in a bad situation.  This way, we establish the kingdom of Heaven of the family.

The Kingdom of Heaven on earth cannot be established without the Kingdom of Heaven of the family.

Do not forget the dignity you have as a family member.

Heaven begins from the family and nowhere else.  You must think that whenever you embrace your spouse, it is in order for the men and women of the world to become one.

The family is the place where you can set the condition to love the whole of humankind.

Reach the status where you can even feel God’s mind, heart and appearance and His suffering as your own mind, heart, appearance and suffering.

This should be accomplished here on earth.

“Now Heavenly Father feels that I should teach the norm for life in the Kingdom of Heaven. People in the restoration course should learn from those who are expert in the Principle. 

“Father cannot be responsible directly for those problems. That age already has passed. The organization of the Unification Church is the organization of a family. The Unification Church is centered upon a family, not upon an individual, which has been the center so far.”

Where is the Kingdom of Heaven? 

It is not in the sky. 

It is the place where the father, mother and children experience 100% joy when they use all things for life and for ideal situations.

What does God’s ideal world look like?

It is a place where Heaven on earth is founded upon the True Parents who have reversed the fall of the first false parents.

The Kingdom of Heaven is established only through the foundation of love. 

There is no trace of such love in the fallen world or spirit world.

No one has received the love of true parents on earth and spirit world until the Second Coming of the Messiah to make a way.

In God’s original world, man’s love, woman’s love, son’s love, daughter’s love, parents’ love and God’s love were part of the original family.

When one loves parents, spouse and children in such a harmonized place leads a life of the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth.

You are qualified to go to Heaven when you respect your spousal love and parental love.  We can create a unified house of love.

Grandparents hand love down to the parents, the parents hand down love to a husband and a wife.  The couple hands down love to children.

To deny any of these denies the establishment of Heaven.

The world is afraid of the Unification Church and owes the families that were blessed in marriages more than the Principle.  

The Messiah and the blessed families become one in love centering upon God's love. 

The Messiah, the blessed couples, and the blessed children: these three generations are connected to be one in love on earth. 

The Unification Church is the place where three generations can be linked.  When three generations live together in happiness, the ideal of creation is realized. 

Husband and wife should love one another and pray for their children with love and take sincere care of them.  This will create a harmonious family and perfect love is established.

Cousins and second cousins should become one in love and form the perfect shape of love.

The Unification Church regards the tribe as the start of the Kingdom of Heaven.

When parents, brothers, cousins and second cousins become one centering upon the grandfather, a perfect three generations are established. 

A wife must serve her grandparents-in-law and parents-in-law in place of God and her husband.  

She must also harmonize with the sisters-in-law and brother-in-laws.  When this kind of relationship expands to the society, nation an world, this becomes a world of peace and love - not crime and war.

The Kingdom of Heaven of a family is established when a man and a woman are completely one.

Husband, wife and children should center upon God’s Will for the sake of humankind.

We work for the sake of humankind’s salvation, not only for God.  God’s dreams is to find a family that has such a standard.  If we do not have such a heavenly family on earth, then God cannot save all of humankind nation and families.

Such families were raised by the Messiah of the Second Coming that center on God.  These blessed families should strive to lead a life that is connected to God’s nation.

The heavenly nation and world is established from their existence and when we work for others.  The family is responsible for organizing the world centered upon God.

The members of the Unification Church centered upon the Messiah’s word which is like a tribe and a nation following God.

The Unification Church’s role is to form a nation for God that is composed of five races that is united and can work for the sake of the whole world.

The purpose of the Messiah returning is God wants to accomplish this through his bringing God’s new truth to the earth testified in the Book of Revelations in the Bible.

Return for Tomorrow’s Post: 

This post was rewritten and derived from the religious textbook Blessing and Ideal Family Part 2 written by Rev. Sun Myung Moon.

Will Jesus Return in the Flesh?

In light of those things, do you think the Messiah should come in the flesh or just in spirit?





In the ideal world we are going to build, we will be liberated from sin both on the physical and spiritual levels, under the actual guidance of God as our parent.



The Lord must come again in the flesh to accomplish his mission of saving the physical world.

The fall began by one physical man and woman on earth and can only be rectified through man on earth.

If he comes on the clouds of Heaven, spiritually, he cannot accomplish his mission of restoring the whole world both on the spiritual and physical levels. The problem is the sin and corruption of this world, and not of heaven.



 Q. How will the Lord come at the Second Advent?

We can see through the parallels of history repeating itself that Christianity is in the same position as the elders, scribes and priests at the time of Jesus.

At that time, the people were waiting for the return of Elijah in the sky.

Why did they hold onto this kind of belief?

They were simply following the Bible prophecy written down in Daniel 7:13:

"I saw in the night visions, and behold, with the clouds of heaven there came one like a son of man, and he came to the Ancient of Days and was presented before him."


Because of the great prophet Daniel, the people of Israel had every reason to expect the arrival of the Messiah to return on clouds of heaven. Christians are expecting the arrival of the Lord in the same way today, in a majestic show on the clouds.

Many people were denying Jesus as this Messiah because he was in the flesh - to them an ordinary man.

John condemened these people as the anti-christ in II John 7 "...many deceivers have gone out into the world, men who will not acknowledge the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh; such a one is the decevier and the anti-christ."

How, then will Jesus in our day and age if Elijah returned through the works of Jesus?  Still today the Jewish people wait for such an arrival and deem this second coming as the first coming of Elijah.

Unless we know the whole truth, we like the people of Jesus' time may fall victim of the words of the Bible by taking them in the literal sense.

In Jesus' time, the people were waiting for the return of Elijah upon the clouds and could not accept Jesus as the Son of God.  They would say that he had a mother and father, Joseph and Mary, how could he be the Son of God?

The disciples and the faithful of Israel argued this point all of the time.

Those who believed in the letter of the Old Testament and not the spirit would miss the Messiah.


Q: Then how will the Lord appear in the last days?

Believe it or not, we are in the exact same parallel to that of the time of Jesus Christ.  If we become slaves to the letter of the New Testament, we will commit the same crime that the elders, scribes and Pharisees committed 2,000 years ago.

What would you do if the Lord did return in the flesh?  If one told you that the Son of Man already returned with flesh and bones?  You would say I was a heretic.

It does not matter how one looks at the world, a man's views, or what one thinks, what matters is how God looks at the world.

The Bible states two prophecies: arrival of the Lord on the clouds and another that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.

What do you do with these two prophecies?


If the Lord comes on the clouds, then he surely can't appear like a thief  unseen in the world.  There would be a lot of attention around his arrival on the clouds and could not be hidden from anyone's eyes.




When you see the signs of the Last Days, the Bible urges you to go into a dark room and pray. Who can tell you the time of the Last Days?

The angels do not know that day. Jesus said not even the Son of man knew when that day would arrive. Only God knows the time of the Last Days.

"That is why we have our answer from God. I am not saying you must believe me. I am just revealing what I know to be the truth, but you must verify this truth with God."

Christians simply believe in the words of the Bible and that Jesus will return on the clouds and only true Christians will be lifted in the air.


That is horrendous, empty, hollow. Religion is not out there, up in the stratosphere.

I am testifying that the Lord cannot appear in that kind of supernatural fashion. Jesus Christ could not return that way because the work of God is to be done here on earth.

The mission of the Messiah is a physical, realistic one. As a man he must come up from the bottom of human misery just as Jesus had done.



He must come to the most miserable nation and lift the human status from the slave position, to the servant position, to the adopted child position and to the direct child position by physically putting together the Kingdom of Heaven here on earth. That is the mission of the Messiah.

Do not rely on anyone's answer.

In the Last Days, the Bible says, do not just believe anybody. Do not believe me, and do not believe someone just because of his or her official status in church or society.

Famous leaders will not necessarily give you the guidance God would want for you. Heaven is so near, and you can be lifted up by the spirit so high, that you can speak with God and receive the answer directly from Him if you are earnest enough.

 Jesus said, "He who has ears to hear, let him hear." (Matt. 11:15) And he said to his disciples, "But blessed are your eyes, for they see, and your ears, for they hear." (Matt. 13:16) He was not referring to physical sense organs.

When you use your spiritual senses and listen for the Word of God, you will find His direction and guidance. But it is not easy to become a citizen of the Kingdom of Heaven.

It is very difficult for a foreigner to go through the process to become a citizen of the United States.

How much more difficult it is to remove ourselves from our corrupt life and transfer ourselves into the Kingdom of Heaven. But we can achieve this very thing.

We know that even after Adam and Eve fell in the garden of Eden, they still were able to communicate directly with God.
The only way we might miss that day is if we look for the Lord to come from one direction, and he appears from another direction in an entirely unexpected manner, just as Elijah did at the time of Jesus.

This is the reason you may not see the Lord at the time of his second coming.

Another mysterious prediction was given by Jesus Christ himself He declared about the Lord at the second coming: "But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation." (Luke 17:25) If Christ at his Second Coming appears in the glory of the clouds of heaven, who would deny him?

Nobody would cause him suffering and pain. The only way this prophecy can be fulfilled is if people expect his return from the clouds and he suddenly appears as a humble man in the flesh.

Do you think that Christian leaders of today would make the same mistake that the priests and scribes and elders committed at the time of Jesus? Yes! They may very well deny him and reject him, because the manner of his coming would be very difficult for Christian leaders to accept. However, in this way the Bible will be fulfilled. He will first suffer and be rejected by this generation.

Jesus once asked a most important question: "When the Son of man comes, will he find faith on earth?" (Luke 18:8)

Although we do have faith today, it may be mistaken faith based on a belief which expects the Lord must come on the clouds of heaven.

There are few men or women on earth with the kind of faith ready to accept the Son of Man appearing in the flesh.

If this were not the situation, the Bible prophecy we are discussing here would not be fulfilled. Please note that Jesus did not say there would be no believers, but he said there would be no FAITH.

Jesus also said: "Not every one who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?' And then will I declare to them. 'I never knew you; depart from me, you evildoers.' " (Matt. 7:21-23)
This prophecy cannot be realized if his second coming is on the clouds of heaven.

At the time of the second advent, people again will be crying out, "Lord, Lord." At the same time they may be in the process of trying to crucify the Messiah if he appears in a manner different from their expectations. They will then be the worst evildoers.

This is the Bible. Those who truly have eyes will see Those who truly have ears will hear. Throughout history God has sent His prophets before the time of fulfillment. He warns the people of His plan. No matter how devout Christian faith is today, no matter how many millions of people are in the Christian churches, they and their churches and their world will decline once they fail to accept the Lord, however he may appear.

This was the tragic fate of Israel and the Roman Empire when they denied Jesus Christ, regardless of their righteousness otherwise.

We must therefore also be open to a new message. Jesus Christ did not come to repeat the Mosaic Law.

Just as Jesus revealed himself with the new expression of truth, the Lord at the second advent will reveal himself with God's truth for our time.

That truth will not be simply a repetition of the New Testament.

I hope that you consider these ideas seriously, and pray to God. He will answer you.



Return for Tomorrow's post: What Truly is Good, What is Evil?


This post was rewritten and derived from the text, Jesus and the Second Coming God's Warning to the World -message from prison

What Makes One a Messiah?

If a non-believer was to ask you this question, would you be able to answer it clear enough without a lot of relgious jargon?  How about giving a satisfactory answer to why humanity needs a Messiah from your heart?  How do you answer such a question?

What is a Messiah's purpose?

There are several Messiahs by definition for each religious sect.  A person who comes to save for that specific realm of belief, correct?

Why do we need a Messiah?  To bring us bakc to the point connecting to God's love.

In short, a Messiah is connected to God at a higher level and connects us directly to God's love.

Humanity who has inherited satanic blood needs to go back to that point.

 

 

The blood lineage of fallen people is disconnected from God's love.

We must indemnify this fallen blood and return to God's pure blood such as Jesus.

The original sin of lust or love outside of God must be removed from humanity completely.  But how do we go through the process of removing the fallen blood?

We cannot do it on our own. Even though we try to bring peace to the earth, we need a Messiah to connect us to God in order to begin that process.

The Messiah makes conditions where humanity can go back to God.

Therefore, since this has been God's strategy throughout the ages, He set up champions from the eivl world.

To understand God's process of bringing the world back to its original position, we must look in history from God's point of view.

Let's start with the first family that God created.

This family consisted of a man Abel, who served God as His first champion after the first parents fell away from God.

Abel was the first man to give up his life for God's purpose.  He had to reject and separate himself from Satan in order to go back to the bosom God by fighting and defeating Satan.

He had to be different from his fallen brother as the first position to receive God's love.




There are three stages are the important formula: the one who is willing to save the world must fight against Satan and win the victory over him; then he or she must come into the love of God; and then, feeling the heart of God and fallen people, he or she must be willing to sacrifice him or herself in place of the fallen people. Only on that condition can the fallen people be taken back.




When Cain's offering was denied by God, Abel should have come into the love of God and through feeling and experiencing God's grief and his brother's grief he should have sacrificed himself in Cain's place.

This sacrifice was not supposed to happen through the shedding of his blood through death, but as a living sacrifice so that God could work through him.

Instead, Abel was arrogant and not compassionate toward Cain who represented the fallen, satanic blood lineage and was thus killed by his brother.

God then worked through His champion Noah who accomplished a very unusual mission. 

God directed Noah to go to the top of a mountain and build a boat.  This is awkward even in our day.  Common sense would say to build a ship near the water in a shipyard.   Who could in our day and age accept this mission or obey such a command without having any doubt?

Even in Noah's time no one could believe that this kind of command came from God. 

Still, Noah went up and down that mountain working on his boat.

To think of it more on a human terms, Noah's wife must have packed his lunch everyday and struggled with how she and her family appeared to everyone.

But God works in such 'odd' ways for a reason --- because of evil.

 

 

 

God cannot dwell together with evil.

The direction of God is 180 degrees contrary to the direction of evil.

God abhors evil!

He does not accept the things that the evil world accepts and does not want to have anything to do with the evil world or anything that is tainted by evil.

Even we do not even want to look at our enemy; God also does not want to have nothing to do with the evil, satanic world.  Therefore, when he gives commands to his champion, He chooses ways that seem incomprehensible to humans.

God test our faith and cannot do so by doing so in a comfortable way to His people.  Therefore, it is important that we are willing to comply with God's extraordinary instructions when He asks.f

This is an easy task.

People of faith see Noah's actions as glorious, but in his time, they thought he was a crazy man for building an ark away from water.  Nobody could see that he was the central position in God's providence - a messiah of his time.

Let's take a moment with Abraham.

He did not come from a religious house, but from one who made idols for a living.  He had to separate himself from his evil surrounding and leave his homeland in order to be God's champion.  That was God's command.

If Abraham discussed his descion to follow God's direction, as an idolmaker, he would have thought his son was crazy.

God instructed him to journey away from his homeland. This was a lonely journey.  He had to wander like a gypsy and give up everything.






The champions of God have one characteristic in common: They begin their missions by denial of themselves and their surroundings.





Always we find that their life in this world was lonely because they suffered many, many things and. were persecuted by this world. When they had nobody to convey their thoughts and feelings to, they could go only to God and talk to Him.

Also, when we look at their lives in the world, their material lives-they were so narrowed down, received so few material things; naturally, they turned their hearts and lives toward God. When we think of how they were living in this world, their scope of consciousness was so narrowed down that they had to cognize everything centered on God. That was their life.

They naturally had the task to live centered on the oneness of God in every area - recreation with other, knowledge and cognition.  They plunged deeply in their relationship with God and relied purely on Him.

They did not have anyone on earth to rely on.  The reality of this fallen world was seen as narrow to them where they needed to build an opening for God by relying on heaven.

 

Even if a narrow detour must be taken to God we as God's champion, are not supposed to be depressed.

There is a way out.

We should not be discontented.  All things were created for the purpose of happiness and satisfaction and contentment.

From this narrow point where the evil world and God meet is the new relationship between God and ourselves begin to open.

For example, St. Francis emphasized pure poverty, a nothingness in which he could find happiness, appreciation, contentment, and satisfaction. From that point on, God could move and let him feel happiness and joy.

True oneness with God was created from that point.  We have to realize that we are fallen people with the blood of satan pumping through us. We stand on the center of two lines between the evil world and God's side.

 

We have to know when to narrow down, so we will know when the new era of happiness and joy will begin.

Let's examine this line throught the life of Jesus Christ himself.


The Bible has scanty details of his life. It doesn't even say he went to elementary school.  He was a laborer, an assistant carpenter.


Reverend Sun Myung Moon speaks on this fact:

"There is so much to know, so many hidden truths within the Bible which are not written explicitly. If I revealed some of those secrets I am sure you would be amazed. Even though I know these things, I could not tell you those stories lightly.

For you then would ask, "How do you know such things?"

I learned them from Jesus. Yes, and I learned from God. Remember, at the time of Noah nobody could believe Noah. At the time of Abraham, nobody could believe Abraham. By the same token, even though I will honestly tell you what actually happened at the time of Jesus, no one will easily believe me.

 

Who is the Messiah?

The Messiah is completely united with the heart of God, like a direct import to earth from heaven. When God sent Jesus to be the Messiah, did He just take him as a baby and place Him on earth, or did He at least have to utilize the body of a woman for him to be born?

We must think on a human point of reality when we look at Jesus.  He was born of Mary.  Since she was a human, she was born of parents.

She must have been a descendant of the fallen lineage so how could she have a child with the blood of God pumping through him?

Q. How do we know Jesus Christ is truly the Son of God?

When we look in other religions and do a comparison, we see that Mohammed, Confucius and Buddha had many more followers than Jesus did in his time. So what makes Jesus so special?

Jesus is the Son of God because he came from the heavenly lineage whereas the above founders did not.

Based on the foundation of Jacob and Esau successfully fulfilling the indemnity condition of Cain and Abel's mistake God prepared another step to be able to bring about a Godly lineage to protect His childre from the womb.

This providence was sealed within the next three generations of Jacob's descendants. It is recorded in Genesis chapter 38.

Adam and Eve fell through fornication, and Tamar was one example of how God frequently used women of most unusual character in restoration.

Judah was the fourth son of Jacob, and Judah's first son married a woman whose name was Tamar. According to the Law, if a son died without leaving sons, his brother must act as a husband to the dead brother's wife so that the dead brother's lineage would be continued. Tamar did not have children when her husband died, and when the next brother refused to fulfill his responsibility, he also died.

Tamar saw that through the third brother as well, she had no hope to bear children.

She knew that her mission was to continue the family of her husband and Judah, his father, and she finally decided to sacrifice even her honor in order to fulfill. Disguising herself as a prostitute, Tamar enticed her father-in-law to have a relationship with her. Without knowing she was his daughter-in-law Judah consented. At that time adultery was punished by death. In order to save her life for the sake of her child, Tamar asked Judah for his signet and staff as a pledge for payment, and then confiscated them.

Three months later when it became obvious that the widow Tamar was pregnant, she was brought before Judah to be judged. You can imagine Judah's horror, "Bring her out, and let her be burned!" But she answered, "By the man to who these belong, I am with child," and she brought out the things that Judah had given her in his pledge.

 Why would God use adulterous women in the dispensation?


God selected His champions from the most miserable situations. Tamar was a righteous woman, and though she was placed in a sinful position, she completely dedicated herself to God's mission, risking her life, honor, and prestige. Paralleling the way Eve lied to God and her husband-to-be in the process of the fall, Tamar deceived her father-in-law and her husband-to-be, Judah's third son.

She reversed the position of Eve by reversing Eve's actions, and the significant thing is that she risked her life in doing it, just as Eve did in falling at the cost of her life. Thus, God could have a claim on Tamar's womb-on the very life emerging in that womb.

Tamar conceived twins, and the struggle of Cain and Abel began within her very womb.

The Bible records how Rebecca's twins also struggled within their mother's womb. Rebecca prayed to God to understand what was happening, and the Lord answered her, saying, "Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples, born to you, shall be divided; the one shall be stronger than the other, and the elder shall serve the younger." Ultimately Jacob did gain the birthright from his elder brother, Esau.
When the time came for Tamar's children to be delivered, the struggle ensued directly within her womb. The first child started to come out and the midwife tied a red thread around his wrist. That sign foreshadowed the emergence of communism in the last days.

Esau was also named "Edom," which means "red." (Gen. 25:30) However, before the first child could be born there was a struggle, and the younger brother pulled the other back inside the womb and was himself born first. That son was named Perez, and the other named Zerah.

The result of this struggle is that for the first time the restoration of Cain and Abel took place inside the mother's womb, the younger brother having subjugated his elder brother even prior to birth. Tamar's extraordinary action cleansed Judah's lineage and rendered it intact from satanic invasion from the time of conception.

Through this victory at the time of Tamar and also Jacob's earlier victory, God could claim a foundation that spanned the entire human life-span. Jesus was born in the lineage of Judah, and Satan had no way to invade his life in the womb because the cleansing process was already completed.

Jesus came years after the dispensation of Jacob and Tamar because God had to wait for Israel's national foundation to be established. The conditions were fulfilled on the family level at the time of Jacob, Tamar and Judah, but God needed to create a foundation to receive the Messiah within a nation, that he might be received on the national and international levels as easily as possible.






Return for Tomorrow's Post: You Are Spy For Heavenly Kingdom




This post was rewritten from the text, God's Providence in Scriptures - God's Warning to the World message from prison

Attend the Messiah to Liberate Your Sin

Liberation of your forefathers will take place in proportion to your efforts.

Reverend Sun Myung Moon

We have entered the era where the unification of North and South Korea is possible.

Everything is possible.

Now, there is a welcoming environment in which heaven's law can work.

You should feel mortally ashamed if you are unable to witness your tribe in such an environment toward the heart of God. 

History is a course seeking the truth. 

The truth should show the true path of the true individual and a true family should live.

How a true society, a true nation and a true world should establish.

Therefore, the perfection of the world, nation, tribe and family and the individual is possible when the focus from the individual  level to the world level is one.

The person who brings these logical key words, the truth, is the True Parent.

The truth is God's true love.
Now, people of the world must listen and pay attention to this truth.

The teachings of Rev. Moon is the truth for the salvation of the world.  They are humanity's words of true love and life which are needed for eternity.

If the Savior comes to save the world, then he should not come to judge humanity with a rod of a real iron in the real sense.

Not even one person would give in by being hit by the messiah to submit to God.

The sacrificial love of a mother, with hands as tough as a toad's back, whose fingers are so bent from working hard for her children they cannot be straightened out, can have the power to make the disobedient child repent and come back to the right path.

Even though God is the mighty king of judgment who leads heaven and earth according to His will, the cosmic unification is impossible without true love.

In other words, we are living in the time where we can bring about humanity to God through love - not through war, fight or force.

Difficulties are not an obstacle in true love. 

While in true love, there is the vigor to go forward at the sacrifice of one's own life.

We fail if the people can say, "In that church, the words are good, but the people are bad."


Did I give you only words? No, I did not just speak. I have done all the things that I am teaching you now. Therefore, there should be no doubt about them. I am teaching by creating a system of thought that is free of inconsistency and contradiction in both its intellectual and the practical aspects. No one can say anything about that. Both Satan and God approve of it.



God is calling us with His words.

Therefore, we must go according to His words.  What is the way that True Parents and true children can meet each other?

It is through true words.  Those words are my words.  You cannot be children without knowing Father's words.

My words are absolute and true. You won't feel tired even if you listen to the same words for a thousand or ten thousand years. You'll never get tired of them. We must search for such words.


Just finding words is not logical enough.  It is a dominant principle that can give life even after one hears them again and again for eternity.

You must seek such words and live such a way.

The words of the True Parents are eternal and transcend time and space.

Therefore, God's words transcend history.

These words transcend time periods, principles, and ideologies.  They are more precious than the words of others.

These words whether you listen to them at night or during the day or read them at night, flow into your heart endlessly.  You must seek these words.

What is my bitter sorrow?


I failed to fulfill my duty as a filial son; I should have cried  and pleaded with my parents to join the Unification Church. I am trying to resolve this through you. I could not even witness to my family. There were eight brothers and sisters, but I could not say one word of the Divine Principle. My older brother obeyed me completely whenever I said something. I have restored Cain completely. If I told him to sell the house, he sold the house, and if I told him to sell the cow, he sold the cow. My mother and father could not be like him. To that older brother, I could not speak about the Divine Principle once.

From now on, don't keep quiet.

When people gather around, try teaching for seven years as I taught you for seven years in the 1950s, without sleeping more than two hours a night. You don't have to do this for seven years. It won't take four years, either. It will all be done within four months. When I return to my homeland, I will unite it in an instant. Therefore, you must teach your parents well.


Also, teach your brothers and sisters the true significance of these words.

Through your own blood sweat and tears, you should teach this yourself without the help of others.

Then you will become the precious uncles, younger siblings, older sisters, and sons and nieces and nephews who follow the model of the sincere attitude you have when you are teaching.

You must confidently proclaim these words from now on.

From this moment, you must proclaim the Principle to your neighborhood for eight hours or however many hours a day, even staying up through the night as I have done for seven years. You must do so. It won't take seven years; it will probably be restored in seven months. When this happens, I may load up a truck and come and see you. I am sure your families will invite and welcome me.



Father made the national leader, Mr. Eu lecture for sixteen hours a day for three and a half years.

When Mr. Eu was tired, Father felt his heartache when he would tell him, "Who are you trying to kill by lying down?  You lay down without even asking me?"

Why did they live in such a way?  They lived that way in order to establish a tradition.

Organize Reading of God's Words/Hoon Dok Hae

Words of the Messiah's speeches, which this blog is based upon, can be considered Hoon dok hae or reading of God's words. Reading The Divine Principle or various books by Reverend Sun Myung Moon has the same spiritual effect.

Why?

Father's words are never spoken directly by him, but they are words spoken by God through him.

Your hearts will be moved no matter where or when you hear these words.  There will be a great revolution within your body, when the heart is inspired.  There is such a power in those words.

Whenever there is a meeting, this is an opportunity for studying.  Whenever you find that you have time, this is a time for studying the word.

You should continue to read material hundreds and thousands of times until it becomes yours and you can embody its substance. 

Our members will become sick if they are inactive.

In order not to become sick, you must read hard, be tested and put forth the effort.

In other words, don't just read the word, but become the embodiment and put them into practice and spread it to others.

True Parents are the ancestor of words, character and heart.

Hoon Dok Hae, the reading of God's word,  is the treasure chest that I stored up under all sorts of hardships and deprivations and that I have opened up to the people. I have told everyone not to translate it; it cannot be translated. You should do Hoon Dok Hae until I say otherwise. You must know that. You should do Hoon Dok Hae whenever time permits. You should always keep a speech book in your pocket and do Hoon Dok Hae even when you are alone, even in the bathroom, and keep a record of the part you have read, even if it was for a couple of hours a day.

You should read the Divine Principle, but you should also read Blessing and Ideal Family and all the other major speeches because they are the records of victory over the satanic world.

We should become one with these speeches which include all past battles of the True Parents up to the present point.

By uniting with and following these contents, you will become one with True Parents.

These speeches and posts should take root in yourself, in you family up to seven generation, and then 160 or 180 families horizontally, all united together.

Between husband and wives in the Blessed Families, Hoon Dok Hae should be done for one hour every morning. If you cannot do it in the morning, then you should do it in the evening before midnight or 1 am.

Father has done Hoon Do Hae every day.

When he had to do a tour in South America, even though he was tired, he still did Hoon Dok Hae, even after midnight.  He did not miss even one day.

Therefore, he instructs us, too, to try to read it every day without fail.  Since he has built the super highway road to restoration to bring a world of peace, we should be able to become cars filled with gas and go at the maximum speed.

Talk about the contents of the Divine Principle until it makes you sick to even think about it.

When you keep going until you get sick of it, you will find that it is very interesting and exciting.

You should clearly know that sermons have the ability to create. 

Because God is with you, then your heart will influence the people directly.

Do you understand?


If you have not read the entire collection of my sermons, you are a dreadful bunch of people.


Father did not even speak the deepest contents in those speeches and he is unable to express them now.

You must understand how precious these words are that are held captive in text with the source of life within them.

This source of life is flowing away.

It is our responsibility to find a way to have this eternal water of life, finding a way to connect the water pipe to this source.

 But what have you done?

Are all of those books something that you can just sell to an antique book shop?

The contents of these words hold a greater value.

Jesus and the Spirit World

Despite the fact that people of faith adapted that we call God our Father, even the most devoted Christian can only become God's adopted son, not a true son.

Which saint, famous religious leader or person of faith can nobly say that they are God's true son and are one in heart with him? No one.

Therefore, we are in the same position as Cain.  If a child does not have the same blood lineage, they will remain in the archangel's position who stole the children of God.

Therefore, there has been a struggle until now throughout providential history to link humanity's lineage to God's sinless lineage to reverse this mistake.

This might be new information in these last days, but it is part of the revelations Jesus knew in his time, but could not relay the information because his disciples "could not understand earthly things, how can you know of heavenly things?"

Jesus died while bearing the cross to complete the mission of John the Baptist who was born to witness to Jesus, link his foundation and follow him to the end.

Therefore, based on John the Baptist's foundation, it would have been easy for the people to believe that Jesus was the son of God because they revered John.

Jesus was not able to complete his mission and must return to complete his messiahship beginning on the family level.  He has been going the way of the son restoring the way of the archangel who fell by going first going the way of the servant, and that of God's adopted child.

Jesus was able to offer his spirit, which was not attacked by Satan, but this left his mission incomplete.

He returns on his foundation to bring his true family carrying God's blood lineage on earth and bring total salvation, hence our physical bodies, not just our  bodies will be resurrected.

This means that once you are engrafted to the Messiah's true lineage, Your body and spirit both will no longer be attached to Satan.

This will bring about  a true world of peace here Satan can no longer be able to have dominion.

Now, people of faith can only go to paradise and receive only spiritual salvation.

Paradise and Heaven are two different places in spirit world.

Physical salvation means that Satan cannot attack your body anymore, no more sickness, accidents, diseases and so forth will come to a family carrying God's true blood lineage.

In order for this to happen, this victorious realm must be fought for and established on earth.  This was the reason for Christianity to come into existence.

The Returned Messiah will have the authority to subjugate the angelic realm in the spirit world, or else he would not be able to begin his mission on earth.  He inherited the spiritual realms where Jesus attained victory.

Jesus descended to hell for three days after he died as a test.

Death holds the greatest dread for humankind, but going to hell held the greatest dread for Jesus. 

Did Jesus become the master of dread or happiness in hell?

Jesus had to overcome the suffering there -  the lowest of human misery.  God is fair, so the Messiah has to come to humankind with an ideology which is of equality.  The Messiah is the savior who comes to save every last person of fallen humankind.

God creates a fair environment for the age.  Whoever unites with him is his disciple.

The Messiah begins his mission in the bottom of hell and ascend to the top of the most glorious placee in the world.

Because Jesus has victory in that lower realm, this means that there is no corner in the world of spirit world where he would not go, even if it is the risk of his life in order to save humankind.

When we know this viewpoint, is it still logical to say that the Messiah will appear on the clouds from the sky at some undetermined time?

Everyone will know once they enter the spirit world if this is true or not.  Why do people in the spirit world keep making effort to contact those on earth?

Without resolving the issues on earth, the path to perfection cannot be attained. 

This same rule applies to every person whether they are rich or poor, religious or atheist.

We have to establish corresponding to the spirit world through relationships on earth in order to open the gates and breakdown the walls in the spirit world alongside the Messiah.

The Messiah begins by establishing these victories through the level of individual, family, tribe, nation and world.  These victories on each level is then connected to the spirit world.

These victorious foundations must be established while we are on earth.  We will not be able to walk the path of restoration after we have passed on without the aid of people on the earth which can take thousands of years.

While the Messiah walks this path, he must restore the individual, family, tribe, people, nation and world in the correct order.  This is why people continue to seek and move forward toward one goal and one world now.

The Returning Lord and the Spirit World

The returned Messiah comes as the ancestor of the first and second Israel.

To find the center of all of this, the Messiah had to go the hard way through hardships and suffering in order to go this way.

The returning Lord must proclaim the ideology of unification and organize his 12 tribes, due to Christianity which lost the center and could not bring God's will of world peace to the earth.

Since God does not have a body, God must acquire a body of a perfected human.

In this way the incorporeal and the corporeal become one.  This symbolizes the universe becoming one.

God created Adam and Eve for this purpose: so He could assume a body through them and this is only possible through love.

There must be love in order for God to have a body which resembles His image.

When Adam and Eve were to become God's outer form through their body, He dwells in their minds and is able to rule the physical and incorporeal worlds through them.

This is when His kingdom is created.  It is a kingdom of love.

The spirit and body unite only through love.

It is not able to unite based on anything else.

Become Part of God's Direct Lineage

We have spoken in many posts about how Adam and Eve were suppose to become true parents. They were to attain true oneness centered on God and pass their pure blood lineage on generation after generation.

These true sons and true daughters who are born into God's direct blood lineage would fulfill God's ideal world full of peace.

As we know from the biblical account, the first ancestors formed a bond with Satan and thus became the satanic ringleaders giving birth to children of death born into sin.

Therefore, you and I are fallen ancestors.


If we are not true parents, this means we are false parents still passing on the lineage of the fall nonstop.

We are in the point of history where humankind must deny this false lineage of false parents and find the true parents who do not have any trace of the fall.

They carry God's direct lineage.  This has been God's Providence of Restoration, restoring the fallen world, since the moment of the Fall.

The Hope of Fallen People

Even if they are not aware of it, all fallen people have a deep desire to meet God's true son.

Even the communist nation had the notion of a world of peace; we all have a deep desire for peace.

They lament that they were born as Cain's children through a fallen blood ties with Satan.  We each can feel the internal conflict between our separated minds and bodies.

Imagine if Abel and Cain had united in their offering and Abel or even Jesus was to have children.

They would have been born on God's side.  Yet, mankind has suffered greatly while seeking God's true son at the individual level and family level.

God sent the Messiah; if people had received the Messiah they could have found God's son.  The time of the Messiah was to convey the joyful news that humankind could finally meet God's son up to the national level.

You and I were born with sinful, fallen blood inherited from Satan.  We have to meet God's son who can transcend all of the accusations of Satan which holds each of us down.

Then we would meet him as our parent after he fulfilled Messiahship on the individual level.  We have been raised by fallen, sinful parents, not true parents no matter how well they are, they carry the fallen bloodline of Satan.

Therefore, we seek true parents whom God directly loves and is connected in lineage.

Next, we must seek the family that those parents create.

After that, we must seek God's love upon finding it, we can meet God.  So, when the Messiah returns, he will perfect himself on the individual level, find a true bride, create a true family of true children that carry the direct lineage of God without any trace of the fall.

We should be aware that this is the pathway of humankind.  If parents and children who live a life worthy of God's love form families, they automatically prosper.

They will sing songs of love in a setting that can bring success to everything through harmonized families.  When this happens, a race centering on God's love will automatically be formed.

Is this a dream or is this where humankind is headed?  Will this standard of world peace be found through political ties, force, war, science or philosophy?

This standard must be found through religion.

If a true family becomes the model for the world to live is not established, then an ideal family, tribe, people nation and world will not be established.

Humanity needs a model of how to live such as shown through religions such as Jesus, Buddah who accomplished much on the individual level.

What is our ideal desire and hope?

This is the conclusion: first, attend God as our Father is our greatest hope; second, we are to become His beloved sons and daughters; and third, we are to inherit everything He owns.

What other human hope is greater than this?

The Goal of Restoration is Adam's Family

Our goal as we walk the path of restoring the world of peace, is to establish Adam's true family.

Immediately after Adam and Eve fell, God launched His providence to restore them through their children Cain and Abel.

That foundation was lost when Cain (representing Satan's side) killed Abel (representing God's side).

Therefore, the providence passed from Adam's family to Noah's family, building a foundation for His providence by annihilating all humankind through the flood judgment establishing a family that transcended above Satan's accusations.

Noah lost that foundation of building the Ark through his sons not completely following him and doubting him and covering his naked body when he was drunk after his successfully accomplished God's will.  

Again, this task was passed on through several saints: Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses and Jesus down to the Second Coming.

Through each age, a condition failed to be completely set in order to eradicate sin from the earth.  This caused each time period to elongate and the conditions were of a greater indemnity each time.

What has God sought until now?  He has been seeking an ideal object partner, not a subject partner.

God has been searching for one who resembles Him and has the same inner and outer qualities of the world He created.

What is the starting point?  The family.

Nothing else can represent the universe better than the family.

Then where will history conclude?

With substantial true children and true parents; it concludes at the level of the family.  This is the basics of the universe.

Without parents, then children cannot be born.  Children should inherit and have dominion over all things centering on the parents.  Adam and Eve were meant to rule over all things.

This principle applies to everything.

Through the six thousand years of God's Providence He has sought to establish a family through which they would be His true object partner.

Family is indispensable in the formation of a nation.

The basis of everything is the family.

Since the first family was destroyed, it is our responsibility to restore it.

Jesus had been born on earth as the unfallen Adam. Therefore , he was the second Adam.  Since Adam, who was the first ancestor of humankind, became a fallen ancestor, God sent Jesus who was the true ancestor to reverse Adam's mistake and start anew.  

We must establish Adam's family centering on such true ancestors. 

The Bible testifies of the Fall of the first human ancestors. 

This occurred between two people, Adam and Eve.

If after Eve and the archangel gave into the fruit of evil, Adam had refused to eat the fruit, then the problem would have been simple to reverse.  In such a case, God as the Creator would have re-created her.

Why did God have to restore the world starting from a family?  Because this is where everything went wrong.  

Evil began in the human world from the first human ancestor's family.

Humanity experienced a loss of God, the expulsion of the angelic world, the loss of the perfect world of creation and the loss of the value and love of humankind.  This all occurred through an unprincipled union of a man and woman in Adam's family.

All religions show a way to individual salvation, especially Christianity, but they do not represent perfection.

This is just a rudimentary form of salvation that is just the beginning, the very first step on the road to complete spiritual and physical salvation.  

The goal of salvation has family salvation as its unit; individual salvation is the beginning.  These families can lead the world and bear responsibility even for world salvation.  

Our life of faith should have the highest ideal of realizing families with such a realm of heart is firmly established.

The Restored Family Was to Be Realized by Jesus

What was Jesus' main purpose for being born?

He came to establish a true family centered on God.

This history of salvation from Cain and Abel to Jesus is the history of restoration.

This is where those who are sick need to be healed.  Jesus came in order to save fallen people and open  a pathway directly to heaven.  

What is salvation?  Since the family was destroyed, it must be restored.

How do we restore the fallen family?  We must return to the original position that was lost because the original family was destroyed.  

Humankind is sick and needs healing.

God absolutely conducts Himself according to principles and laws.

Since Adam was lost, he must be recovered from the satanic world.  Adam had the responsibility to dominate and possess Eve, but he failed his role as a husband and she was taken by Satan.

Thus, she must be recovered from the satanic world.

Will this be done easily without a struggle?

God worked throughout the ages to lay family, religious and national foundations to restore Adam and Eve.

He established Joseph's and Zechariah's families.  

Then if Jesus, who was from Joseph's family and John the Baptist from Zechariah's family had united, God's will would have been fulfilled in a short time.

What if John the Baptist would not have questioned later on that Jesus was the one they were looking for and followed him?

Also, what if Jesus was to receive Zachariah's daughter as a bride and they start a true family with God's direct blood lineage reversing the sinful blood lineage on earth?  Jesus would have become True Father bearing True Children of God's blood lineage.

Then the will of God would have been fulfilled.

Such fundamental facts such as these are immediately opposed by Christians.  They cry and argue over it.  But it will be to no avail.

Those who oppose these facts will realize that this is the truth when they pass on to the spirit world.

God planned for Adam and Eve to achieve unity as substantial father and mother and complete the perfection of a family of love, which is God's ideal of creation.

God did not create this world to be full of evil, struggle and broken families.  To conceive of such an ideal for a perfect God is hurtful to the work of restoring the world.

Yet, since this was not accomplished, Jesus had to come in order to complete it.

Jesus came as the bridegroom to receive his bride.  Then, if the Israelites  had united with God and restored the position of the perfected Adam in the Garden of Eden and bonded in that love, then nobody could have made them repeat the Fall.

What was God's will?

It was for Adam and Eve to establish the standard of perfection of man and woman and establish God's family based on love.  Was this accomplished in Adam and Jesus' time?

God's family was not established.

Jesus understood and believed in this aspect of God's will.  But because the Jewish people could not follow and believe that Jesus was the son of God, Israel's four-thousand year foundation for Jesus collapsed.

Therefore, Jesus died a miserably death on the cross as God's second path toward only half salvation - spiritual not physical.  Even Jesus lost his physical body to Satan, but brought spiritual salvation to earth.

If death was God's first and only choice, Jesus would have gladly went the way of the cross, instead he asked God if it was His will to let this cup pass and he lamented to forgive them for they know not what they do.

If the Jewish people accepted Jesus and God's will, he would have lived to start a family and pass on God's true blood lineage through true children.  Followers would have been able to engraft to Jesus' true blood lineage and start true families.  Heaven on Earth would follow thereafter.

Through the cross, Jesus lost his physical body to Satan, but was able to bring spiritual salvation to mankind.  This was not God's original intention for bringing Jesus to that time.

Until now, who has been able to truly understand this heart-wrenching situation?

No one!

Since this is the case, how glad Jesus must be to witness this being taught for the first time.

Without Jesus' family being established, the will of God remained unfulfilled.

Without a God-centered family carrying God's pure blood lineage, neither the nation nor the world could be restored.

As a bridegroom, Jesus must find his bride.

This is the reason Jesus' mission must be returned to this earth to center the providence on one man that true parents, true couples and true siblings can emerge.

This will be decisively fulfilled through the prophesied Marriage of the Supper of the lamb in the Last Days.

Return for Tomorrow's Post: The Love of a True Parent

We Should Attend the Lord of Second Advent

Everyday we wake up, we may already be burdened by things of the past or debts we have to face even before we brush our teeth.  But we must remember, that we are not living in the original world in which God planned for us to live.

God's ideal was for us to live our lives completely for Him.

In God's original world of love, we would live and die surrounded by love.  Thankfully, God never abandoned humanity at the point where humanity separated from God, but has dedicated all His knowledge and energy into restoring man to their original position before the fall.

All our activities would be in reverence to bring joy to God.  Therefore, we are all destined to live in attendance to God.

Therefore, how great would it be to attend God and receive His joy and love that we exclaim, "I want to live for thousands of years!"

A verse in a Korean poem reads:

"Moon, Oh moon, you bright moon, moon
loved by the poet Lee Tae-baek!
Oh moon, on you grow a laurel tree.
I want to chop it down with a jade axe and
trim the branches with a gold axe
to build a thatched cottage to bring my parents to..."

These words sound nice, but we must think, where are the Parents in this scene?  Isn't this like the current situation of the world - just brothers and sisters without parents on the worldwide level?

If these parents base everything on their own desire, they will completely disappear.

We need Parents who can reveal the straight path to create Heaven on earth and plant the tradition for future generations to follow.

This was Adam and Eve's task, but they fell away from laying a tradition to lead toward heaven.  Therefore, parents have only laid a foundation to continue the path toward hell on earth.


My life's purpose, until I die, is creating the way for the world that is like that folk song.   Religious leaders prostrate themselves and pray in an effort to receive blessings, but I have never prayed to receive any blessing. 

When we look at the Testaments in the book, we can see how God worked through the saints of history in order to lay a foundation for future generations to prepare for the coming of True Parents who reverse the fallen mistake of the first human parents.

The Old Testament Age was the age of finding God's people through the sacrifice of material; the New Testament Age was the age of sacrificing the sons and daughters such as in the Roman times through countless religious people shedding blood;  the Completed Testament Age is the age of liberating God by sacrificing the Parents' (the Messiah and True Wife) own family.

This was the foundation for the True Parents to be born to the earth where we would live with them for thousands of years.

The Last Days is the time we receive the True Parents who will lay a straight pathway for heaven on earth.  The Lord of the Second Advent, the Messiah, returns to take a bride, known as the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, and become True Parents of humankind reversing the acts of the fall of the first parents, Adam and Eve.

The poem above is about the moon and the laurel tree singing of bringing parents and living with them for tens of thousands of years.

If you look closely, the tale has a revelation within it: "..wanting to bring the heavenly parents to earth and live with them for tens of thousands of years..."

Whenever I think about this song, I cannot escape the intense longing in my heart. Don't ever feel bad about having been born as a Korean. In the past, you might have felt pity for yourself for having been born Korean, saying "How is it that I was born in a thatched-roof among these poor Korean people, although Korea boasts of its five-thousand-year history?" 

Father does not feel happy when he hears the song that sings of building a thatched cottage. 

The Korean song that goes "Moon, Oh moon, you bright moon" sings of building a thatched cottage and living there for thousands of years.

How can we bring True Parents to a home with only a thatched roof?  This song connects with the Christian belief of the Second Coming and with the belief in a savior to come that is present among all people and nations.

The son about the moon, tells us about attending the parents.  Which parents?  Your neighbors' parents, your own parents?

This is about attending the parents and the grandparents on both the father's and the mother's side.

This song sing praises of the people's long cherished desires.  This is why we even have a concept of True Parents.  True love that can bring us to live together for thousands of years comes from and is taught by the True Parents.

We have a desire to live with both sets of parents. 

Parents symbolize masculinity and femininity with God as the highest authority.

The authority of their sons and daughter should be at least as high as their shadow.  You should not seek to join the movement and keep your old habits and greed which you acquired in the satanic world.

Our church is different from the established churches. It is a place where we wage a battle of life and death, building an altar of love and prepare the arrows of love. We do not go to the Heavenly Kingdom to be judged by God above. 

God is here with us and judges our lives every day.

By attending God with the Messiah, we are able to share in God's pain and in His joy in our daily lives.

Because we attend the True Parents with such a heart, we have not come to ruin through this age of tribulation.  We received many blessings and protection in these Last Days of turmoil.

Can God die?

No, God is alive.

Today, having achieved global victory, I have returned to this nation. Our nation is divided and I must reunite it. While we build a unified nation of North and South Korea, you must also establish your own nation, people, tribe and family. It is simple now for Unification Church members, because your Parents have completed the entire indemnity mission.

Once you are able to know the real God and True Parents, then everything will be finished. You can become true husband and wife, and real, true sons and daughters by attending and connect to the True Parents' true lineage like a wild olive tree engrafting to a pure tree.

You must be able to love them.  Once you have loved them and liberate your brothers sisters, the twelve apostles, and 120 disciples on the satanic side, then you can love your owns sons and daughters, and bring them to live with you forever. 

"Moon, Oh Moon, you bright Moon, Moon loved by the poet Lee Tae-baek!
Oh Moon, on you grows a laurel tree.
I want to chop it down with a jade axe and trim the branches
with a gold axe to build a thatched cottage.  I want to bring my parents
and live with them there for thousands of years"

The Korean people can receive this song as the chosen people.

This song is a prayer that sings praise for eternity.  The meaning behind it is about attending one's parents for thousands of years in a thatched house.  You probably don't know what that is.  This means you have to start at the bottom from the individual level to restore the ancestor's path of the fall.

Without serving your parents in a thatched cottage you cannot find the royal parents. 

You then organize a tribe and then a people from the tribe.  

Where is the base where God's love and human love harmonizes?

God created human beings because of love.  Even God is lonely by Himself.

God created people because He wanted to live in love for thousands of years.  Even if we only live in a meager cottage, we still want to live with parents forever.

This is the same with the ideal God.  It is amazing that God is infinitely big, but He can enter a small cottage and still embrace Heaven and earth there and breathe love and live.

Therefore, is this a small house?

If God is there, even a thatched cottage is a palace of the Heavenly Kingdom, a universal palace.

Return for Tomorrow's Post: How to Be a True Parent

This post was rewritten and derived from the textbook  Cheon Seong Gyeong Book 2, True Parents and us chapter 7

Leave No Condition for Satan to Attack

How will it be possible for you experience the heart of the Messiah and God's love and heart?

The question is how to enter into that state.  To do this, you must return to the position of Adam and Eve who have not fallen, and are free from Satan's accusation.

How is it possible for you to be liberated from the satanic world and blood lineage of sin?

You have to win the battle with Satan.

In order to accomplish this, how hard do you think you will have to work?

In addition, how much suffering will you have to go through to achieve this standard?  Only the Messiah was able to do this.

Bequeathing of heart

Many saints in history were deceived: Jacob and Moses were deceived ten times and Jesus was also deceived in the same manner.  We must overcome this.

Through overcoming deception with a grateful heart, we come to understand God's heart.  We come to know the heart of the Parent.  Without overcoming this, we will never have a chance to experience such a heart.

As long as you do not have this experience, Satan will never leave you.

As long as you do not overcome Satan's taunts and triumph over him, you will never know the Parents' heart or God's heart who have gone through this suffering course.

Thus, everyone of faith must conquer Satan on the frontline.

If instead we just live a comfortable life of leisure, we will not be able to find God's love, the Parents' love, the True Parents' realm of heart, or find God's realm of heart.

I must send everyone to the frontline. 

You need to go out and be persecuted, despised and beaten.

You can receive all sorts of harsh treatments.  Through this experience, there can be an inheritance of heart.  A ceremony of inheritance will take place there.

Therefore you should always stand at the forefront and march forward like the Messiah.

The frontline is harsh persecution, but this is natural.  When you witness or fundraise and receive such treatment, God will protect you.  You will be able to experience the same heart as God as you stand in the same place.

How do you experience this Parental heart deeply? How do you come to know the real True Parents who reverse the Fall, and know that God is your Father down to your flesh and bone?

The question is how will you know down to the cells of your body that God is your Father even without thinking about it?

You must overcome the situation of being exposed to Satan's accusation. 

How do we not leave any satanic condition through our actions and thoughts is the biggest problem.

It is simple how to experience True Parents' love deeply: you must stand in the position of unfallen Adam and Eve who have conquered Satan on the global stage.

In order to completely separate from Satan, how much blood and sweat will you have to shed?  How much of Satan's accusations will you have to bear?

How tremendous the battle, because it will only happen after you have victory over the course of indemnity, paying back for sins.

When you are faced with such difficulties, if you do not appreciate facing these challenges, then no matter how much you pray or what you do, you will not be able to go beyond it.

We should be grateful for the persecution as we paved the way to get rid of our fallen lineage, overcome Satan and return back to God.

You have to have this experience deeply yourself.  You will receive direct guidance.

During your experience, the problem is how to feel oneness. It will not come until you are able to defeat Satan completely, make him retreat in every facet of your life.

Power transmission towers have been established.

Power stations have been built in individuals, families, nations, the world and even in God.  Now the power lines of heart must be hung there.  Who will hang those lines?  God is not the one to do it.  You must do it.

Sons and daughters inherit from their parents

If God was to give a gift to humankind, what would it be?

That you would become the ancestors of humankind and become true mothers and fathers. There is nothing higher than the true parents position- not even being the president can match it.

There is no greater gift God can give us.

To be able to be pure sons and daughters that reverse the sinful blood lineage into God's pure blood lineage and become True Parents, then there will automatically be true children, tribe, nation and world thereafter.

The most important title in all of creation is to be a True Parent.

What is the nature of the Fall?

It is people doing and living as they pleased.

We must reverse any situation that is not centering on God and True Parents who have come to reverse the sins of the first human parents.

All men should become incarnations of True Father and all women should become representatives of True Mother.  When God enters you through your eyes or anywhere else, you should welcome Him.  Do not reject Him.

Do your walls remain in place even though you walk this path of faith?

God's love comes through you. 

You must not be negligent; you need to study this phenomenon.

Once you inherit this tradition, True Parents will come to you as God's messenger and give you the inheritance.  Since humanity has not had True Parents, therefore, true children had never appeared before.

The Unification Movement says, "Acknowledge True Parents, discover and serve them.  We say we should become true sons and daughters of True Parents."

After we become true sons and daughters, what happens?

We inherit all that they have which include: heaven and earth, and even God.  Yes, we should even inherit God.

If no one owned heaven and earth, then it would not have any value.  We should fully acknowledge the value of heaven and earth, and claim their value for eternity.  We also need to meet the one who can officially recognize that.  God is the one to do this.

You will continue to walk this path and then receive the Marriage Blessing based on the gratitude you show before Heaven.

You should be always individually grateful and never forget the value of receiving the Blessing from the True Parents in order to change your sinful blood lineage to the pure lineage of God.

Blessed families inherit the responsibilities True Parents carry out for the restoration of the world.  Blessed Families walk the course of restoring people through witnessing and suffering.

True Parents have walked the course to restore the world to peace after setting the standard of restoring people.  Then they go one step ahead.

You must shoulder the responsibility to restore a people, until your death or until the sorrow of the people is removed completely.
