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.

We Imprisoned God's Heart

My own pain and grief are nothing. God has not been able to fulfill His role as God. You must understand that God's bitter tears which melt the marrow of His bones and His bloodstains which spread throughout the course of history are crying out from the ground.

I have been doing this work because I know that the mission remains to liberate God from His anguish.


Reverend Sun Myung Moon

Since humanity caused God such grief, we must liberate God who is confined by love.  It is the same as Him being in prison.

God has to be set free.

God intended for the ideal world to be established based on love, but it was snatched away by Satan.  Thus, God could not be liberated in heart from losing His ideal.  It is the same as a Father who prepares a beautiful nursery and life for his child, only for a the servant to run away with the newborn baby.

God lost His rightful position

How can God''s heart and mind be at rest when His beloved children have died?  With our own efforts, we should liberate God.  He is not free.  He is in confinement after He lost His sons and daughters.

Even if one has ten times the filial piety of the lost filial son, he cannot easily free the original heart of the the parent who lost His sons and daughter.  The situation is worse if he suffered the death of His son of filial piety.

I am going to liberate God.

Why is all-knowing, all powerful God full of grief and distress?

Those who work hard in this world during their youth are assured to enjoy a hopeful future.  God has painstakingly invested all of His efforts since the beginning of history, but when did He ever have hope in the world of peace He envisioned?

When has his dream ever been fulfilled?

How old do you think God is?  God transcends the universe, so He does not have an age.  God is beyond the solar system.  What is there to calculate?

God, who is our Parent, is unable to free Himself from lamentation unless all His children are free from lamentation.  How is it possible for even a human parent to live comfortably while their loving children live in anxiety?

This is why we should liberate God who is stuck in such a situation.

How is it possible to liberate God?

We are responsible to find the realm of liberation where God can freely love all of humankind.  Since humankind was corrupted through the Fall, we must liberate God by becoming children who are victorious over the Fall.

What happened because of the Fall?

After the first parents went against God's ideal, He was shackled and restrained and so were the first ancestors of the human race and the realm of angels.  Countless religious people and saints have struggled against these shackles along with all of humankind.

A child who does not demonstrate filial piety restrict their parents.  How can a parent have absolute freedom with their child who is not a true object partner of love?

The parents can only be liberated when the child displays filial piety that is greater than his impiety.  He also must be officially recognized by the general public.  Only then will he be able to cleanse himself from his past sins.

This is heavenly law.


By the same principle, I do not need people who say, "I will live only for you, Father." The neighbors, this nation, this people -- they are all a pitiable lot.  I am glad they will attend both parents, but why live in a small cottage for tens of thousands of years for parents? They are a pitiable people. 


We must guide those pitiable people who are penniless and poor.  Also those who have failed to obtain God's blessings, where will they go and live without someone to care for their well-being?

God could not function as God

We must persist on this path to restore humanity's pitiful situation to an ideal world until the planet Earth, the spirit world, and ultimately the heart of God is liberated.

We must ultimately liberate humankind, the spirit world and God. 

If loving parents have a rebellious son, their hearts will not be liberated until they see that child rise to a position where he freely fills his parents' expectation of a filial child.

This is probably the first time you are hearing this.  We throughout religious history have sought God to liberate us from our dire situations, but in fact, we have to liberate God.

We should know and understand that God's true heart has been restrained and needs to be freed.

God had created Adam and Eve as His greatest partners of love.  Humanity is God's partners of love.  In the vertical position they have a parent-child relationship with God.  Horizontally they were created to become husband and wife centered on God.

Then God would have been able to practice all the ideals of love in heaven and on earth.  Yet, when Adam and Eve did not center their love on God, He lost everything and ended up in prison.

How is that possible?

God is a being of love, without His object partners to give and take with love, He is kept from truly expressing the desires of His heart.  It is the same as a spouse who has run away from their responsibilities.

If one has not established a base of heaven while on earth, there is no foundation for him to go to heaven in spirit world.  As the Bible says, what is loosed on earth is also loosed in Heaven.  You must experience the four realms of heart while of earth before entering spirit world.

Father Moon speaks of His heartfelt experiences with God while imprisoned in North Korea for teaching Christianity:

"Even when I went to prison and manacles were placed on my wrists, they could not restrain me because I had love. When I was in a cramped position that made it hard to sleep, I woke up at night to find light shining from my hand. Why was there light? It was because God was embracing me. I discovered His love.

That is why light could shine even in that dark room. If I sat quietly and reverently in the corner of a prison cell after hearing someone groaning and crying, the following day people would give me packets of rice powder. 

They had heard a distant voice, 'If you don't give this food to this particular prisoner, all the prisoners and even your family will be uncomfortable.'  Therefore they followed."

Rev. Moon

God is a God of love.

Members, therefore should not be an ungrateful group of people who persecute such a God, during the times of suffering.

God has searched for thousands of years for a people that thirst for faith and hope burning with love that want to unshackle God on the account of humankind.

He looked for people who say, "God was accused by Satan because of me; He was imprisoned because of me; Jesus died on the cross because of me; the Holy Spirit went through a bloody history of struggle on my behalf.

God please give me strength.  I will bring rest and liberation to the Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit."

God had no foundation on which to stand because there was not a devoted son through which people could uphold the heavenly kingdom by fulfilling the way of a loyal subject, saint and divine son or daughter.

If God and Satan were fighting, who would stop the fight?  Would the fight just automatically end between the two?

Is it possible that just one day Satan will surrender on his own and the world would automatically enjoy peace?

God has carried the sorrow in His heart from the situation of the heavenly kingdom.  God has been incarcerated and confined from exalting His absolute love and authority upon the earth.

Do you know of any grandfather or grandmother which God has been seeking for thousands of years?  What about a mother or father, a wife or husband who God has searched for?  Have you ever met a true son or a daughter whom God is seeking?

Because of the fall, you have not met such a person.  Who can sever the chains which have bound this heart?  How will we be able to dissolve the bitterness of this quest?

God can do anything at will, but because of the reality of unprincipled love His hands have been tied. 

Who has ever known how much He has suffered under lasting regret and sorrow?  Who understands how unimaginably weary he is?

People in the church pews cry out for the God of glory to give them blessings.  But God is not that kind of God.  On the contrary, God is a miserable God.

God's sorrowful situation can be liberated through the birth of a son.

Hence, you must liberate God.

If you are not able to free God from the pains of humanity's fall, then there is no way to create the heavenly path and make straight a way for the ideal world to be established on earth.  This is the history and the mission of the Unification movement to rectify this fallen history.

These core teachings, sermons and words can liberate God's heart.  God is suffering in grief because of the Fall.

From the outset, the history of such lamentation has been a global one.

Thus, Paul has said that all of the creation, our ancestors and each of us wait in eager longing for the appearance of God's true sons and daughters.

We are living in the age where the truth which the Book of Revelations speaks about is being revealed.  Through the practice of these teachings we will separate ourselves and God from that realm of grieving.

Liberation of the World's Women

What kind of woman was God's ideal before the fall?

Eve tempted Adam who still enjoyed God's direct dominion out of fear and wanting to be closer to God through Adam.  Ever since, our first ancestors fell away from God's commandment and law, women have been cursed away from their original position.

Afterward, God said that woman would be under the rule of her husband and he was to rule over her as a master.  If this is the curse given after Eve's disobedience, what is God's original ideal for women in this context?


All Creation Exists in Pairs

Everything that exist has a partner.  The pair system is very important.  If we find ourselves in the upper position, we must think about the lower position.  If we are on the right side, we must consider the left side.  We consider the other side because we want to harmonize.  This concept is a must: whatever position you have, you must keep the other in mind.

Everything in creation lives for the sake of the other.  When you say up, you must first recognize down, before you recognize up.  When you say right, first recognize left then recognize right.  Even when in circular motion, one moves for the sake of the other.  The person that is down lives for the person that is up.  Without this you do not have motion.

When an individual does not keep the other person in mind, this is the beginning of destruction.

"Everything we see, including motion, is the expression of the desire to serve the other. So the more we move, the greater we serve. Here we see the principle of God's creation."

Satan's way is opposite of the true way.  He says, "Live for the sake of me".  Who are women born for.  Are they born for the sake of themselves?  No.  This cannot be.  When we mention 'women' we automatically think of a man.  Women are born absolutely for man.  And men absolutely need women.  This principle does not only work for men and women, but everything in all of creation works this way.  Because of this principle, we see that the universe was able to develop.

What if a grandfather in a family starts to say to his relative, "Live for the sake of me"?  Harmony would not be possible only destruction and separation.  Instead, when we live for the sake of the other, the more we move forward, the greater the other becomes.

In a situation, if the object and the subject each demand they be treated best by the other, they will fight constantly and begin to decline.  This situation is turned around when they say, "I should live more for the sake of the other" and the greater the good will come to the whole.  If each says, "I will live more for the sake of the other", this creates a circular motion and they will rotate faster and grow.  Is this true or not?


Consider America

When we consider today's situation of America with its deep roots built upon sacrifice of the people and a Christian foundation, we see now that it has become a country of individualism.  Yet, the citizens do not think twice about the country's position and think is fine.  But, this defies the principle, the law of the universe which spits at America. 

The law proclaims that those who say, "You live for me", will perish.  Those who live for others are protected. This fate and outcome is connected to the cosmos and is eternal.  When the universe sees one living for the other, it is good.

When your mind and body is centered and united on God's will and live for the other, this is good.  This base will grow larger and larger connecting to the universe. 

How does one connect mind and body?

The first principle is to deny oneself and get rid of ego. The rule of living for the sake of the other is cardinal and when it is practiced, you will feel good and universal fate will support you.

When you roll like this, you are dancing.

But look at dancers today: are they dancing for the other or are they trying to pull others to themselves? If someone drinks a lot of wine in order to give money to another, that is good, but there is no such drunkard. They all drink for themselves. If there was a drunkard who drank to give money to others, there would be lines of people following him.

The situation of individualism, living for oneself, is the worst disease and is America's unfortunate reality. 

Women reading this, do you consider man's appearance or his mind to be more important?  Even the most handsomest man who is empty will be rejected over a man of heart.  The man's mind and soul is important.  Can we see the mind?  How do we distinguish if someones mind is good or evil? 

We can see if the mind is living for the sake of the other.  One who lives and sacrifices for another is a good man.  Don't you think if you find such a man and marry him that both of your future will be good? 

The true champion of the world's women would want to live for the sake of the world.  This woman would not have to make up her face.  No one can deny that living for the world and others is the best policy.

What constitutes a truthful woman?  When a man loves a woman with intensity and the woman tries to return this love, this is a truthful woman and vice versa.  What happens in a relationship where the two partners cannot out do each other when loving the other?  True love will grow.  There is an infinite potential which breeds infinite prosperity.

America's way of living is to sue the company if they work for less, but this is not God's way or how He thinks.  If you are willing to work for your company for less, you will become the head. 

What if God decided to sue humanity for not paying him?  The whole human race would be wiped out. 


True prosperity

Everyone in the world wishes for a peaceful planet.  This will not happen without this principle stated above.  Everyone wants to be the center and the top of the world.  When the one appears who is the representative from the level of the individual to that of the universe, then the universe will be saved.

Why? Because God exists and God is like that.

Even if that is only invisible or a dream and only exists in the mind, it will come about, because God will create it for us. How wonderful.

The awesome conclusion is that each person wants to become the best. To do that, each must think, "I represent the entire world and live for the sake of the world." If you think that, then you think that you represent the past, present and future. Such a man loves woman the best, and can come to the conclusion that there is no woman who does not love him.

All women will want to marry that man.

In order for you to have that kind of husband, you must be that kind of woman.  In that way you can be the best. When you learn about this, you say to God, "I will do not only that but better." If you are anxious to do better than God, you can climb on top of God's head and God will say, "That feels good."


Return for Tomorrow's Post: First Man and Woman's Mistake Was Love

This text was rewritten and taken from one of Reverend Sun Myung Moon's speeches which is based on his book: The Divine Principle.

God Needs Liberation, Too

"No matter how many times I may have said that I want to liberate God, God says, 'All right. Before you consider liberating me, please take care of the problems of the world first. Then come and tell me that you want to liberate me.' This is why I have sought out the most difficult problems of the world and taken them upon my shoulders."

Many people and nations may wonder how such a country with such a young government ever came to power as America in a few short hundred years.  America was started with the founding heart of rebels.  People who left their country who wanted to serve God and not the church on a new land.  Their reference to God and the Bible in their laws and in their way of life is directly correlated to the country's rapid growth and dominance in world. 

Fast forward not too far into the future and America's biggest problem is the loss of the order and discipline of love and the lack of a guiding clear philosophy of life.  True Love has been downgraded in our ways of life and through the media.  There are many religions, but no guiding principle of how individuals express their love on a brother, matrimonial and parental level.  In order for every person to experience true, lawful love, we need to restore its discipline and order.  In addition, the majority of the population lack a superior philosophy of life, and thus life their life day to day without a central, guiding principle.

The other problem in the world today is communism.  The walls came tumbling down, but communism still spreads its atheistic viewpoint like a poison to the world.  We live in a free country that practices freedom of speech and faith, but everyday we lose religious freedom in all facets of life as the atheistic viewpoint takes over our country.

Satan's vehicle is communism, and he must be driven out.  The faithful must reestablish the order of love and restore the eternal unchanging ideology which is the central theme of all human life.  This is not an easy task. 

The only way for change is for the Messiah to return and guide humanity to solve these problems.  That's right, for us to pick up our plows and begin the work of recreation.  If restoring the world was easy with the snap of God's finger, the world would have been restored in the garden of Eden and God would have never given us free will to choose to live by His rules.

Because God gave His children freedom to choose His way or the satanic way, when we chose satan's words over His in the garden and to this day, it essentially placed God in a prison not of his own making.  A prison where he watches His children get murdered, become reckless and live individual lives without His purpose and die and go to hell.

So, God is all powerful, but gave His children 5% responsibility to go after that power. 


The Order of Love

When the Messiah returns, his first task is to restore the central ideology which will lead humanity to reestablish the order and discipline of love.  Then humanity will be able to return to the true, lawful love.

The second responsibility to return order to the world is to chase out satan. 

What about you? Are you restoring the order and discipline of love within the realm of your life and activity? You need the Marriage Blessing given directly by God in order to do begin the true work of recreation of your lineage. The Blessing is the pinnacle in your course of restoring love.

These are not my ideals and concepts, but those taught by the Returned Messiah.  These teachings explain what the world should be like, what the nation should be like, and how society should function and how each of us should live. 

These teachings of the Divine Principle which is based on the bible is the basis of each of Achieve World Peace blogs.   The central theme is the ideal pattern for individuals, societies, nations, the world and even the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth.  Each of these facets has a clear-cut formula to follow to return to true love.

Right now, religion is trying to banish Satan from this world, day in and day out.  You and others are waging a "Knock Out Satan" campaign whenever you restore the order of love and the ideology of God.  On the other side of that, satan is always trying to promote illicit and abnormal love.  Abnormal is when objects just float around without following any principle and is confusing front and back, right and left.

What is abnormal love?

The evidence is evident in our nation when it is 'normal' for a gentleman to sleep with one woman one night and prowls for another every night.  Also, when one has sexual relations with a family member or homosexuality tendencies.  These are just a few examples of abnormal illicit love that has nothing to do with God's original love.  Even though these practices have become the norm, it goes against God's purpose of creation and ideal of love.

How many of us desire and hope for any type of these loves?  Does society agree that these few examples are abnormal type of love or normal?  Society has deemed that temporary, illicit love is in fact normal behavior. 

If one is not clear on the distinction of abnormal and normal love, satan will keep following them until they fully practice the normal way of love.  Once true normal love is practiced which begins with living for the sake of others, then satan can no longer follow that person.  How can he follow someone who does not have his traits?

When we live for a selfish purpose, only looking out for ourselves, we make it easy for satan to always be right behind us.  There is a remedy for anyone following the wrong path.  Once we start living for the sake of others, satan must retreat.  This is the dividing line. 

Satan can not claim someone who is living for the sake of the whole and for others.  Once you are living for the sake of all people of the world, the entire world will welcome you and satan will have to go away.

Since the world is entrenched deeply in sin, how do we save the world and then release God from the prison in which we have placed Him?  We have been discussing about the two principal needs of mankind: liberation from illicit love and liberation from the bondage of false ideology. 

When mankind is liberated, satan will leave completely.  He will not have a source to attach and have give and take relations to exist.  The presence and existence of satan who was formerly the good angel Lucifer is the main cause of God's imprisonment.

How is it possible for God to be imprisoned?  Because God gave you and I free will to follow Him or not, we chose to not follow God and satan has complete control over God's creation.  Does this sound like freedom for either humanity or God?  It look as if the only winner is satan.

As soon as Satan leaves, God will stand up and slowly walk out to greet us. "Finally I'm free!" He will say. "I have no more worries in the world! Who did it? The Messiah, the Second Advent did. He liberated me!"

Liberation

Until now, you didn't fully comprehend what I meant by the liberation of God and mankind or even knew that God required to be rescued from slavery as well. You didn't know the definition of liberation. By establishing the central ideology that restores the discipline of love and expels Satan, you are liberating mankind and liberating God. Is the task easy or difficult?



When every individual receives this ideology and puts it into practice, there will be no room for Satan. God will be welcomed everywhere. That is how liberation will take place. So to liberate mankind means to liberate God. The two liberations are simultaneous; they are not separate events. One solution will suffice.

Therefore, why do you go out to witness? It is to accomplish this very task. You witness for the liberation of mankind and the liberation of God. Who is working hard and daily for the direct liberation of God, those who accept and practice the words of the Returned Messiah who reveals the hidden truth that the disciples of Jesus' time did not have the ears to hear or the heart to believe.


Digest Everything Through Love

There are many wars, but the world is embroiled in an ideological war. There is a conflict between the God-accepting ideology and the God-denying ideology, between democracy and communism. What is the ideology of the Returned Messiah? Completely on the opposite spectrum, it  is Unificationism. We are bringing everything into harmony and unity. The role of our ideology is to digest everything; it is a "melting pot" ideology.

Reverend Moon the author of the Divine Principle said, "I have a healthy stomach: I can take in everything and digest it. I can eat hot pepper sauce and Korean kimchee, and at the same time I can eat cheese and bread. It makes no difference; everything can be digested into one stomach. Such a stomach is ideal, isn't it? You must be able to digest everything to be an ideal person. What kind of person are you?"

Only Belief in Jesus Not Enough

This could be argued a had said he needed us to have belief that he was the son of God.  That's it...for that instruction.  Jesus also said to pick up your cross and follow him.  Follow his instruction, work on your problems and become perfect like your Father in heaven was perfect.

If only the mere belief in Jesus caused a Christian, Catholic or Jew the ability to become perfect, please bring those sisters and brothers forward to give their testimony to the world.  I have friends and clergymen who believe that Satan will always be the dominator on earth and that humanity will never have the capacity to become perfect. 

 

My response is, that will be true in your life as long as you hold onto that notion.  Satan will always dominant such a person's to some extent and that person will stop working on themselves to a certain extent.

 

Why have we made God so small!!!!

He had the expectation for Adam and Eve to reach perfection and never gave up that dream after they fell.  He also gave us power over the angel and even though int he beginning we followed him instead, does not mean we can not dominate Lucifer, a servant, back to his position.

If there were no tools or God's words in existence that gave us the ability to do either one, would I be so bold to announce it without fear of his attack?  No, I have not reached perfection, but I do have tools that have bound Satan from interfering in mine and my families life and have been given the chance through the Lord of the Second Advent's words, to liberate thousands of years of pain caused by my ancestors which you and I repeat generation after generation.

We can go beyond the 2,000 year doctrine of just follow to being owners alongside Jesus in the battle to win the world back to God's side.


Paradise Is Not The Kingdom of Heaven

If at the beginning of creation, a family could have been realized in which God and man could have united in a relationship of True Love, today we would not have to worry about Hell or Heaven because we would have automatically entered the Kingdom of God.  The problem here is that God's true love and true man's love did not begin at a common point, united as a subjective and objective love. God's love and man's love began in two different directions with two different goals. Therefore, it has been impossible to realize the ideal world which God and man long for. God's ideal of beginning in a common point was completely frustrated.

What does the conscience do to win the true love God? Even if a person has money, knowledge or power, and she loses the love of her life, none of those things have any meaning. If you unburden and liberate your mind completely, your conscience will automatically connect with the True Love of God. If we compare the conscience's size to love's size, we will see that the size of love is greater. We can know this due to the fact that the conscience begins from love.

The Kingdom of Heaven is the place where we go to live in unity with God's True Love and a free conscience. It is the place we go after having lived centered on love and after preparing ourselves to be the lineage of God's love. Without winning this love, we can never enter the Kingdom of God. We will have to wait thousands of years until that day comes. Due to the fall, there will not be a connection with the Kingdom of Heaven so long as man is not illuminated by God's true thought and sustained by God's True Love.

The person who lives in unity, with a true conscience and true love, will automatically enter the Kingdom of Heaven. No matter how much a person believes in Jesus, he cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven if he is not linked to the love of God. The fact that our mind and body are struggling prevents us from entering the Kingdom. The person who inherited Satan's lineage cannot enter the Kingdom.

The religions which have the mission of opening the way are struggling amongst themselves and will have a sad ending in the Last Days. God cannot be found where there is conflict. Religion is a movement to subjugate the body and liberate the conscience. It is not a key to open the doors to salvation. We have to know that the key which opens that door will not be received if we fail to inherit the love, the life and the true lineage of God.

By believing in religion, we will not receive salvation. In reality, religion exists to discipline the body. When our conscience is liberated, its ambition can be raised up to God. How does this seem to you? Think first about what you are doing. Will you try to find out more about this? Who will know first what someone is doing? Who will know first? The conscience or God?

The conscience will know first. Man is a distinct person from God because he occupies the object position. In the same sense, husband and wife are different. The characteristics of each are clearly different. If we were to conclude that God could know everything prior to it happening, we could say that we are a part of God, as if we are a single body. But in such a case, we could not be God's objects of love. An ideal cannot be perfected when it is alone.

After Adam and Eve sinned, God asked, "Adam, where are you?" Adam hid himself behind a fig tree and answered, "I am here." God understood and said, "You hid yourself because you have sinned." Man comes from God's love and returns to God. We must return to God. Ladies and gentlemen, when sons and daughters age and when parents reach the age of 100 and their children reach the age of 80, the relationship of father and son also becomes a relationship of friends. Friends!

We cannot compare the physical strength of a woman with that of a man. She can never defeat him. But through love, wife and husband are attracted to one another and follow each other. If Adam and Eve had been the objects of God's love, would that have been pleasing to Him or not? God created the universe before Adam and Eve would have perfected themselves as His objects of love. God had the ambitious hope that in the future they would be His ideal object.

If, after having perfected themselves as the object of God's love, they had asked God to create something greater than what He had already created, do you think He could have done so or not? As infinite as the ambition of our conscience is, we should know that God can create everything that we desire. God created us with the value of True Love objects. Because this value was lost, it must be restored.

This restoration is the purpose of human life and history. God established religions and promised that some day each of the founders of those religions would return. Christianity has taught that Jesus will return. In Buddhism they speak of the return of Buddha. Confucianism alludes to a new Confucius. Likewise in Islam, believers await the return of Muhammad. What would be the reason that God established the different religions?


Restore Us to God's Ideal

We need to understand that the will of God is accomplished centered on His beloved children, children who are like God's flesh and blood. With that type of son and daughter, God wants to form families, tribes, races, and nations. We need to understand what kind of person the Messiah is. In his Second Coming, the Lord is the person who perfects the ideal which has been longed for by all the religions, coming to the earth for the first time in the eternal love of God.

He will become a TRUE FATHER and centered on that lost True Love, He will work to establish an ideal family on earth on the foundation of true life and true lineage. That is the purpose of the providence of salvation. Due to the fall, God lost the true Mother as well as the children of Adam's family. This means that God could not have true children. There was no family which was connected to the pure blood lineage which was to come from God's love. Instead we linked to Satan's fallen lineage perpetuating sin throughout humanity.

The providence of salvation is the providence of restoration which God has been leading to restore His lost sons and daughters and restore the unity of mind and body, the absolute unity of husband and wife, and the absolute unity of parents and children in the True Love of God. This true family which is qualified to live eternally with God should be connected to Christianity which is in the position of bride to the Lord.

By establishing such a blood relationship with God, we can realize united families, tribes, races, nations and united nations which would thus conform to the united world which is the culmination of the providence of salvation. Distinguished leaders of this nation, is it not true that this nation would like to receive God's blessing? To do so, you must become a people whose mind and body are united in God's true Love.

You must also unite as absolute husbands and wives. When the number of families in any nation which can unite as absolute children of God grows, then God will come to live in that nation. If this happens, then automatically that nation will become the central nation of the world. Human beings have this kind of nature. If his beloved one lives in the countryside, in poverty, he wants to live there with her. In the same way, if there is a place where God's beloved sons and daughters dwell, that place, if poor, will be the Kingdom of Heaven. If rich, it will be the Kingdom of Heaven as well.

Today the Founder of the Unification Church is here speaking to you. If you ask me, "What is the mission of the Unification Church?" I will say that it is a place where God's True Love is present. It is the place where we want our mind and body to unite in true love. It is the place where we want to form ideal marriages with absolute unity between husband and wife. By means of an ideology which can make all people into inseparable brothers and sisters, we are carrying out the mission which God has given us.

With the love of the True God and the love of the True Parents, we are cleaning everything that was dirtied by false love, false life and false lineage. The Lord of the Second Advent has achieved the True Parents position. The mass international marriage ceremonies are the ceremonies to sow the seed of true love, true life and true lineage which results from the unity of God's love and man's love.

The blessing marriage is a ceremony to restore families formed in false marriage which, due to the fall, received the seed of false love, false life, and false lineage. Having families participate in these mass marriage ceremonies from around the world will connect them to God's great blessing. It is my fervent desire that all people receive that great blessing and become families and a people which can establish the Kingdom of Heaven on earth.


World Peace Through God's Marriage

The Lord of the Second Advent initiated through God the Mass Wedding movement bringing people of different races, religions, cultures, and enemies, together in Holy Marriage which links them directly to God's lineage.

The following is the how Father Moon expresses his desires to those who are learning about the movement to open their eyes to the truth to the foundation he laid for all humanity, not to just those who are members of the Unification Church.  In the beginning, Father Moon never wanted to be a minister or open a church, just as Jesus did not wish the same.  it was only through the many failures of the higher leadership to recognize that Jesus was Lord that Jesus had to savage lowly men who did not know to the deep extent the teaching Jesus was trying to portray in his time.  The same misery was afford to Father Moon who was rejected and persecuted by the Korean Christian leadership, so he had to go the hard way through making his foundation from scratch which the established leadership should have followed the Lord of the Second Advent.

The following may sound blasphemous to those who do not have the ears to hear or are awakened to the time they are living, but so was the same when Jesus was telling people that no one could enter heaven without going through him, to drink of his blood and that they should love him more than husband, wife and mother.   One should read the bold statements which Father Moon has declared himself rewritten in the third person for the purpose of this blog:

The purpose of the Unification Church is to succeed through this means to establish relationships of brotherhood which transcend nations. Through this means we want to realize the ideal of one great universal family centered on God and thus proclaim the ideal of True Parents. True spouses, and True brothers and sisters. In this way we will begin the world heart culture.

From earth to Heaven, we will be liberated to fulfill the world of the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. Since the end of the Second World War and during the past eighty years, Reverend Moon has been persecuted and criticized by the entire world. The time has come that you should know that such persecution was not because he committed any crime. Instead it was to save you. And unlike in the past people now think that I am the most admirable man.

By the hand of Reverend Moon, communism collapsed. It was Reverend Moon who awakened Mikhail Gorbachev and Kim Il Sung. To save the United States which is going towards a collapse, he established a foundation which leads Americans to feel that Reverend Moon is the hope. Also behind the difficult political context of North and South Korea, Reverend Moon is involved. The same is true for the Middle East.

You need to know that after 40 years, the Republican party triumphed in the United States, thanks to the influence of Reverend Moon. Perhaps you are unaware of these facts. But you should know that if any nation precedes the United States in receiving and absolutely embracing Reverend Moon, that nation will become the first nation in the world. Everything which Reverend Moon has said has been fulfilled.

The entire world did everything it could to put an end to Father Moon yet he did not die while laying the foundation, and he firmly stands on the top of the world.

Because Father Moon spoke to out loud these statements, it is because God loves him and is on his side. You need to know that if I survived, it is because God absolutely protected me. For that reason, I believe that you should seriously study about his teachings through the Divine Principle. You have met Father Moon this day of deep significance.

God asks that to follow the proper path, you make a determination based on this new awakening to bring God's blessing to your families and your nation. In that way, ideal families will begin to appear on this earth. As you probably know, Reverend Moon and his spouse are known throughout the world as the True Parents.

If it is true that as True Parents we are connected to God in True Love, True Life and True Lineage, I would like you to remember that beginning from a true family and from you a realm of liberation, liberty, unification and happiness will begin. It will allow the hope of peace to sprout upon the earth. Thank you very much.
