2010 Blessing

In 1952 (1946-52), we lost the original worldwide Blessing era, in which we would have been able to hold the Blessing on a worldwide scale centering on True Parents.

Forty years later (= Indemnity paid), in 1992, we were finally able to enter the worldwide Blessing era, and so the 30,000 Couples Blessing was held.

This is the formation stage of the worldwide era.

/SMM 1996.1.1

The year 1960 was a very dangerous period, just as dangerous as at the time of Jesus, when the Jews, the nation of Israel, and Rome united in opposing him, and he was finally crucified.

Nonetheless, I performed the Blessing Ceremony under such circumstances. That is how I pulled the 36 Couples away from the clutches of Satan.

The Blessed Families that are united with my family make up a new tribe.

As time progresses, they will grow in number and form a new race.

Further expansion will bring forth a new nation, and finally a new world. /SMM 1969

The Blessed Families must eliminate everything that is in conflict with heaven, and which has been inherited from the numerous ancestors, races and nations of past history. /SMM 1978

In other words, a new race, the people of the third Israel, will be formed.

It is the Unification Church that also has enabled the Japanese people, to become those who will inherit the new realm of the lineage of God, instead of merely remaining as those who inherit the lineage of their Japanese ancestors who lived in the past.

/ SMM1969.2.2

And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, perfect human in Love Be ye perfect as Your Father in Heaven /Jesus and multiply, Loving family and have dominion … Families in perfect Love over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. /Gen. 1:28

The Three Ordered Stages of the Growing Period

Perfection ____________________________________________________ Completion ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Growing period Growth ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Formation ____________________________________________________ Creation

Where are we! - Checklist Individual perfection – after Blessing ask your Spouse Family perfection - ask your Children Tribe perfection - ask your Tribe …

The 3 Blessings are unconsciously twisted in our society;

The 3rd Blessing to create an ideal environment; ex. Green movement, communist system - workers paradise, other –isms…

are trying to take a short cut directly to the 3rd Blessing.

Its like building a house starting with the roof! ;-)

Instead the original ideal is to first revolutionize Mans inner moral status; forgiveness of original sin

=> growing to perfection – 1st Blessing => perfecting marriage – 2nd Blessing => then creating an ideal society – 3rd Blessing

The Fallen World – Based on gratifying the Self You must start with the Individuals perfection – forgiveness of Sin thats why all previous –isms failed – Communism/Nazism… Liberalism

Wrong Selfish order

The victory of the Allied Powers in the First World War fulfilled the formation-stage indemnity condition to restore God’s three great blessings worldwide.

By overcoming Jesus’ first temptation on the worldwide level, they fulfilled the indemnity condition to restore God’s first blessing worldwide.

The victory of God’s side in the Second World War fulfilled the growth-stage indemnity condition to restore God’s three great blessings worldwide.

Having the significance of overcoming Jesus’ second temptation on the world level, the victory fulfilled the indemnity condition to restore God’s second blessing worldwide.

Finally, by laying the growth-stage foundation for the democratic world, it established the growth-stage foundation to restore God’s sovereignty.

God began the dispensation of dividing good and evil to restore the failure in Adam’s family on the individual level and developed it through the levels of family, clan, society, people and nation.

The time has come when God conducts this dispensation on the world level. God intends to restore through indemnity the entire providence, which was prolonged to the third stage, by winning victory in the three world wars, which belong to the final chapter of providential history.

Importance of Holy Marriages

If the people of Israel had united with Jesus as the Messiah, the authority of the elder son could have been restored at that time. Unity between brothers comes about when they share the same level, the same value, and the same standard.

Fundamental unity cannot be achieved without the Messiah, who represents the elder son. But the people of Israel were unable to become one with the Messiah.

If they had made unity with Jesus, the Messiah could have formed a family, and the Blessing could have been given to the people of Israel as the chosen people.

The realm of the third Israel must be established on earth by connecting the spiritual foundations of the first (Judaism) and second Israels (Christians).

In order to do so, the returning Lord must find and set up a family (Adam’s family) that represents the first Israel, a second family (Noah’s family) that represents the second Israel, and a third family (Jacob’s family) that represents the third Israel. (3 Couple Blessing)

Therefore, the 36 Blessed Couples must become the ancestors of humanity. /SMM 1968.3.29

If you want to become citizens of the third Israel (Korea) connected to the Unification Church, you must receive the Blessing.

In the past, at the time of Abraham, one had to be circumcised to become a citizen of Israel;

and in the time of Jesus, one had to be baptized.

It is the same today.

In the Unification Church, one cannot become a citizen of the third Israel without receiving the Blessing.

However, in receiving the Blessing one must fulfill certain conditions that are neither simple nor easy.

I continuously exerted myself and devoted forty years of my life. I have spent my life giving the Blessing.

/SMM 1968.1.1

Original conditions to qualify to receive the Blessing (required up until 777 Couples):

• 3 to 4 years of active work in any public ministry in our movement

• at least three spiritual children

• water fasting for 7 days

• give an offering of money.

When we say that the territory of the Blessed Families will be expanded, it means that the realm of the mainstream God- centered families will be expanded, thereby forming the tribe of God.

The fact that families inheriting kinship with True Parents and inheriting the internal, heavenly heart are emerging and spreading out horizontally signifies that a God-centered tribe, people and nation will be created.

Moreover, it will not end there; ultimately, a world centered on God will be established. /SMM 1978.10.22

NewYorkTimes 15 Oct 2009 Aging Reverend Moon Celebrates Mass Wedding

SEOUL, South Korea — Thousands of couples from more than 100 countries traveled here to tie the knot Wednesday in what was seen as the last mass wedding officiated by the Rev. Sun Myung Moon, the enigmatic founder of the Unification Church.

The world has attained its present form through the motivation of one heart; and history has continued up until the present day through the investment of the heart of God and through the flesh and blood of Jesus.

You must know that you are the substantial beings who, today, can bring all this to fruition.

You must understand that you can remain as the third Israel only when you have become Jesus’ counterparts who possess the desperate, throbbing heart of Christ.

By having such a heart, Jesus offered himself as a sacrifice to create the second Israel.

Therefore, only when you are prepared to do the same, can you become the ancestors of the third Israel.

Only then can you become the original children of the Kingdom of Heaven on earth, the Garden of Eden.

/SMM 1958.1.26

The Blessed Families of the Unification Church are not in the position of the original Israel, waiting and yearning for the Messiah in the tradition of Judaism.

Instead, they are one step ahead, because they have already received the Messiah and have formed a new tribe. / SMM 1970.10.30

When we consider Korea, we can say that the people who do not believe in God correspond to the first Israel, the members of existing churches correspond to the second Israel, and the Unification Church corresponds to the third Israel.

That is why Satan is attacking the center of this providence (=Unification Church).

/ SMM 1968.2.20

The Blessing is the key for entering the Third Israel

Abraham established Israel through the offering of sacrifices, but the Unification Church is creating Israel through the Blessing. Therefore, entering the third Israel is possible only through the Blessing.

/SMM 1967.12.29

The Unification Church is setting up the absolute standard that Adam and Jesus (2nd Adam) failed to establish due to the interference of Satan. (creating a True Family)

The Holy Wedding Ceremony was initiated in 1960 with my family as the center.

Thereafter, we had to form the realm of the tribe, going beyond the realm of the family.

In order to create the realm of the tribe, we should stand in the position of the apostles who were united into one with Jesus.

If Jesus had formed a family after he had established a relationship with his apostles as the subject, then the apostles would in turn have been able to create families of their own.

Comment: Following Jesus example. Instead 2000 year Christianity emphacised non-marriage as the higher ideal (Jesus pattern)

In this way, a new realm of tribe would have been formed within Judaism.

/ SMM 1972.5.7

If Jesus had performed the holy wedding ceremony, the twelve apostles would then have had to completely unite with Jesus’ family before they could participate in their own holy wedding ceremony.

They would have received the Blessing centering on Jesus’ family, and established the victorious realm that Satan could not invade either spiritually or physically.

Remember St Pauls expressions:

For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth

in pain together until now. And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.

(Romans 8:18-23)

“Pray unceasingly”

Today, the new tribe created through the Blessing is completely different from the realm of the adopted sons (christians), who were restored from the fallen state.

This signifies that the tribe that begins from the Son of God has appeared for the first time. /SMM 1972.5.7

3 Spiritual Children

Before everything else, I emphasized the importance of the restoration of the archangel.

This is achieved through the restoration of three spiritual sons and daughters.

I placed emphasis on this until the time of the 777 couples.

The 30,000 Couples were blessed on the horizontal level. (1993)
