World Peace is Our Responsibility

Are you still waiting for the rapture and for Jesus to return?

Christianity teaches that God's son, Jesus will return in the Last Days for the purpose of restoring the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth as God initially intended.

Through the Divine Principle, which this blog is based upon, we learn that the Lord of the Second Advent will spiritually pioneer the way of the cross and will be victorious where Jesus left off.

This is the difficult part of restoring the world and God's people back to their original positions before the Fall.

Since, the Fall began with the first parents, then True Parents must reverse the mistakes of the Fall.

In all of history, when we look at earth, humankind and heaven, has there been anyone who was able to attend these victorious True Parents(Messiah)?

Heaven, earth and humankind have not been prepared to attend such True Parents who do not carry the trace of the Fall within them.  

Now that we are living in the Completed Testament Age, the position of True Parents have been restored and humanity is being prepared to follow to attend them and God.

Is it just enough to attend the Messiah when he returns?

After attending the parents and reaching perfection, you need to restore your own family, tribe, nation and world. God prepared the people of Israel for the birth of the Messiah as well.

To stand before True Parents as true children, you must accomplish the course of the individual level, family level, tribe, and national-level restoration.

After completing the parents' course of restoration on each level, then the standard of parents and children having become one and victorious is thus established and Satan must leave.

Only after this is accomplished can we conclude the restoration of the national and the global level.

Then, what is the mission of the Unification Church and in what kind of position are you who have joined the church? You have been called into the Unification Church, of which I am the central figure. 

As you walk this path or restoration, you have to develop spiritually and physically what has been a sorrowful six thousand years of vertical history.

Then what is our goal?

We must establish a nation of people who are restored to the True Parents position on a worldwide foundation.  In other words, we must establish the world-level nation of True Parents instead of fallen, satanic parents.  This would be a world of peace.

We must eliminate the remaining sorrow, pain and tears of the world as soon as possible. 

As long as brothers and sisters suffer hunger, pain and suffering, a world of peace will never be found.

This is our responsibility and mission.

This is the path you were meant to follow.  You should not turn and look back either with your heart or with your body as the Israelites did.

This kept them from from following Moses and further delaying God's victory to 40 years with the first generation dying in the wilderness on the way to Cannan.

The Israelites suffered greatly in the desert that they even envied their past life as slaves instead of having faith and believing they could conquer the more established Canaanites.

Therefore, we should have the sincere hope to be able to fully attend the True Parents on the behalf of God.

In attending them, we should not attend them after the conditions and difficult path has been laid and everyone admires and respects them.

Rather, we should desire to attend the True Parents of all history as they pass through this sorrowful course.

When you look at the saints and good people throughout history, they have prayed for the day that the Messiah would return and liquidate the fallen lineage and return humanity back to God's lineage.

In their time, even after arduous pray, they could only momentarily keep Satan's attacks at bay.

Our own ancestors deeply are pained that they could not attend the True Parents while they were on earth.  All humankind deep in their hearts have such hopes to attend True Parents.

Therefore, you should become true sons and true daughters of filial piety who are able to attend them from a miserable situation rather than trying to attend them from a glorious position.

Such sons and daughters will cry out that the True Parents are walking the suffering path of the cross that is more severe than that of Jesus, even though the sons and daughters are experiencing difficulty, despair and misery themselves.

As filial sons and daughters they will exclaim, "As someone who attends True Parents, I therefore accept any kind of heavy cross as a matter of course. I praise that, so please, God, do not worry on account of me."

How can we engraft, on the individual level, to the parents' individual victory of restoring the sinful blood to God's pure blood lineage?

Only after we indemnify, restore the worries, pains and sorrow that come to us, instead of giving them to God to bear.

Why have I spread the Blessed Families(families married by the Messiah and rid of sinful blood) out everywhere in Korea? God works with the thirty million people of the Korean people and the entire Korean peninsula, and True Parents are coming to the thirty million Korean people and the Korean peninsula.  Every village, valley, mountain and field -- desires to attend the coming True Parents. 

Serving True Parents is the desire of all people in history. 

You should set an individual standard of indemnity and then become the substantial representatives of True Parents.

You should become the type of people whose whole village will want to serve you without regret.  Of course, True Parents are always in the center making a spiritual relationship with everyone.

There is only one set of True Parents.  However, with limitations of a physical body, they are unable to relate with everyone personally.

This is why True Parents have blessed families so they can stand in the position as their representatives. Therefore, they stand in the position to relate with all people.

True Parents' responsibility is to bear the cross and pass the national level where Jesus had laid the path on to the worldwide level.

Therefore, the cross of the people should be carried by the Blessed Families who live as true children of True Parents.

After the Fall, we fell below the position of God's true sons and daughters.  Through Jesus' difficult path, we were able to become God's adopted sons and daughters.

Now that we live in the Completed Testament Age, we can become true sons and daughters just as Jesus was.

All families that receive the Marriage Blessing which reverses the fallen blood lineage and connects your family to God's direct lineage, must serve as the foundation for the people in order for Heaven to gain victory.

We must love True Parents and separate from Satan based on the standard of original love. We must fulfill our responsibility to go beyond the standard of perfection on the world level.  This is how world peace will come about.

Our mission

We are preparing a foundation so we can directly attend True Parents and assemble other brothers and sisters of the world before them.

We are the ancestors who have this responsibility.  Therefore, we have to remove the path of the cross and persecution so our descendants do not have to bear it.

Currently, the sad situation of humanity is that we pass on the blood of the fallen blood lineage to our children who have to also bear the cross to liquidate their sins.  This is our original mission, not our descendants.

When can God finally appear as the master and Parent of all creation and reclaim His position which was stolen from Satan?

Once the human world unifies and the Abel and Cain world become one.

We can think that all the people living on the earth today, are like children living without their parents.

They fight among themselves.  Therefore, God has to appear as the Parent and teach them that those who are fighting are only fighting their elder brothers and their younger brothers.

Nobody knew this but God. 

The concept of true, ideal parents departed once false parents were established.  Also, because true parents' position was lost, there was no foundation for the ideal children to come.  These positions were sacrificed to Satan.

Therefore, the ideal parents must now appear replacing the false parents linked the blood lineage of Satan.

The time has finally come, awaited through all of history, for God to educate ideal children.  A religion, a movement has taken over this mission.

This is the Unification Church.

We should be proud of the True Parents' achievements.

Next, true children must come together.  They should not just love their family clan, but they should love on the global and universal level.

True children should not say that they only know the American people.  They should transcend any ethnic feelings.

In whose name did the Fall occur?

In Satan's name.

Therefore, in these Last Days, we should jump over the line of the Fall in God's name.

So, God should be above our head and command us directly, just as God was above Adam.

True Parents have no connection to the Fall. 

Our path is to make this new world by gathering people with the true lineage from around the world, who are connected to True Parents and God.

Thus a true family will become a tribe, a tribe will become society and a people will establish a  nation that takes dominion over the world.

Throughout history, the fallen world has been sinking.  Now, we must make a new start and go up.

We are at the time in history where the fallen world and the new world centered on God will meet.  Everything will now reverse.

Then, when will we connect to that central line?

The True Parents had to reach the worldwide level to finally be victorious over Satan who is firing his weapons.

This is why we are experiencing a heavy battle, so we can expand from the nation to the spirit world capacity of True Parents.  

We are approaching the time where the True Parents will be welcomed as national parents.

Return for Tomorrow's Post: Family Created as Good a Place

This Post was rewritten and derived from the Textbook,  Cheon Seong Gyeong Book Two, True Parents and Us Chapter 6

Second Advent Mission

Growing up in the Baptist church, I was told that Jesus would return to earth in these Last Days as a spirit and collect his people and take them to live in heaven for eternity.  I never heard about defeating Satan in that same context.  Only that  he would be thrown in hell for thousands of years to be released in the Last Days.  I was not taught how we would defeat and win vicotry over the beast.  On the contrary.  I was taught that the earth would be destroyed and only those who have faith were to be saved.

I don't know about you, but I will be honest. I struggled with the bible for 10 years because doctrine of pastors and believers contradicted the bible itself.  If God said that a generation passes but the earth remains forever how is he going to blow it up ending in failure?  If God loves all of His children, how can a perfect Father be satisfied with leaving a population of children to burn for eternity NEVER to find salvation as He closes the gate to heaven to them forever?  Lastly, if Satan is to be bound in the Last Days, why do we leave the earth, why don't we restore it back to the way it was before satan entered the scene and messed up God's plan?  I don't believe in such a weak god who gives up on His children when they turn toward wick ways.  A human father will do what it takes to save a child who seems hopeless.  Why don't we see our Father in a higher respect?

2, 000 years ago, every single question I had would not have come into existence if Jesus was completely followed in his generation.  By now, we would have a completely God-centered culture if the people of Israel had followed and made Jesus King.  He would have been married in Holy Marriage with his True Wife and leave God's seed on the earth through their children born without the root of sin.

The Lord of the Second Advent will not literally return in the air on the clouds. There are people who believe that they will be taken up to heaven on the clouds, but it will not happen like this The Lord who went through the cross has returned through the cross in our time already.

When Jesus died on the cross, there were three types of people connected with Jesus' crucifixion. There was the first type, the thief on Jesus' right who repented of his sins and testified to Jesus; there was the second type, the thief on Jesus' left, who was a sinner who did not repent and who vilified Jesus. The third type was Barabbas, a criminal who surely should have been crucified, was saved when Jesus was crucified instead.





At the time of the Second Advent, these three types are realized on the world level. Western Christianity is the first type in the position of the thief on Jesus' right. Although they still have original sin, they believe in the Lord and they are in the position of good. The materialistic, atheistic communist bloc is the second type, and is in the position of the thief on the left. Islam in the Middle East is the third type, and is in the position of Barabbas.

Because Jesus died instead of leaving a lineage on earth to conquer Rome in his time, Islam came to occupy the land of the Middle East which had been divided between the twelve tribes of Israel. The Lord of the Second Advent, who is in the position of the reborn Jesus, has to straighten out the worldwide achievements of these three types which came about through Jesus' untimely death. His death brought spiritual salvation only leaving physical salvation on earth to be conquered upon his return.

In order to straighten out the Western world of Christianity, the Messiah of the Second Advent has to bring about a new movement of religious reformation, just as Martin Luther had done, overcome the atheistic ideology of communism, and bring all the communist world back to God's side. The ideology which can overcome the left wing and right-wing ideologies and bring about a unified harmony between them is Father Moon's proposed Headwing ideology of Godism.

Complete the Ideal of the True Family

 

Leaders of the Women's Federation for World Peace! If together with the Lord of the Second Advent you devote your heart sincerely every day, then God's will of goodness shall be accomplished.

What he is most concerned about is for each of the families to complete the ideal of the true family by becoming one through true love. Through you, morals can be restored.

If you expand this movement of true love, what movement could be more patriotic than this? There is a mountain of work to do. We have to spread a movement for proper morals, a movement for the eradication of drugs, a non-smoking and non-drinking movement, a movement to expose immorality in the leaders of society, and to inspire and encourage the youth. When the society based on women leaders becomes purified, and harmony is realized through true love, then the cherished hope of the society will be achieved. Not only that, our nation will come to lead the world, and a peaceful world will be realized.

You Must Become One with True Parents' Family

Whenever Father Moon, whose teachings this posts is based upon, never gives a direction to his followers in which he has not followed first himself.   I sincerely ask for us to practice true love and devotion in place of cynicism and hateful thoughts toward our neighbors, even if it is one hundredth of the Messiah's foundation, and raise up a great movement of national salvation.

The most effective units of the Women's Federation Movement are the town, village, county and ward. When the movement of true love rises up in these basic units, then it will go through the level of neighborhood and come to settle in the family.

We have to go through the original homeland before the fall and recover the family which has been separated from God before we can hope for eternal settlement. God has worked so hard. He has suffered so much to raise up the perfected Adam who reverses the fallen mistake of the original Adam.

That is why the True Father came about. The true man of heaven has been born. Because the satanic world knows this man is the true groom, the master who comes as the king of the Kingdom of Heaven and earth. individuals in the world are trying to destroy him by uniting individuals, families, nations, the world and the universe against him.

From the position of having to suffer all kinds of persecution, plotting and slandering by Satan, he has gained victory on the individual, family, national, world and cosmic levels and has become one with God.

As the first victor of history, the Lord of the Second Advent came to the satanic world of the individual, family, nation, world and cosmos. The True Mother, who has been in the position of following after the True Father, has for the first time in history come to stand in an equal position. Through her worldwide declaration of the liberation of women, the True Father and the True Mother will take their children, go before God, and inherit all the authority and power of heaven.

As the family of the Second Advent, they will establish the original family, and reclaim the tribe, race, nation, world and cosmos, and reorganize the perfect world of God's will. All men are in the position of the archangel. Therefore, they stand in the position of having to give back all women.

Women stand in the position of being the extension of the True Mother, the perfected Eve, the fallen mother of humankind. From the position of the extension of Eve and on the condition of becoming one with the True Mother, they come to the condition of becoming one with the True Father.

From this position women must educate their sons and daughters in the thought of the True Parents. Through this education the sons and daughters come to have the status of being true sons and daughters and they should become one with their mother. Then they should reeducate the worldly father and receive True Parents' Holy Marriage blessing.

From the position of being grafted to the True Parents, they come to learn the family duty of the True Parents. Because Adam and Eve fell on the family level, restoration also has to be accomplished on the family level. Not through the destruction of the eternal earth.

Jesus was able to restore a True Man, but The Second Advent has found a True Woman to begin the process of restoration on the family level. Restoration has to go beyond the levels of country, ward and block, and settle in the family, and then the families must meet the True Parents.

The True Parents have gone over the individual peak, the national peak, the world peak and the cosmic peak, and have been victorious. However, in order to save each family they have to come back to the cosmos, the world, the nation, and return to the family.

By becoming one with True Parents' family, it is possible for you leaders of the Women's Federation for World Peace to attain family restoration and become absolute victors. You have to connect this to your tribe. The True Parents have already assigned tribal messiahs (those who represent the Messiah restoring their tribe/ancestors) all over the world; if you receive education from them and become one with them, the restoration of the nation also will be accomplished naturally.

In this way the unification of North and South Korea, unification of the world, and the unification of heaven and earth will be realized; God, too, will be liberated. After this happens, we will come to see an age of peace centered on God.

Let the True Mother and the women of the world join together to meet the True Father who comes as the groom and, standing in the position of the bride, let us restore the ideal family of creation. I pray that you become members of the Family Federation for World Peace and create families which will receive much blessing.

Thank you very much.
