Opening remarks
God is our True Parent forever! God’s attributes are absolute, unique, unchanging forever! These same characteristics connect to humankind to create an ideal family. This is how God’s kingdom should have started, with an ideal family. God’s king’s family. The ideal and purpose of God’s creation––starting from the individual all the way through eight different stages––is the Coronation of God. After the fall of humankind, from the viewpoint of providential history, the terminal point, the final value culminating in human history is the Coronation of God. God and humankind both want to reach this terminal point. How can we reach that final destination?
Please pay attention to what I say. It is not easy to meet Reverend Moon. It was five years ago when I last came here. Today, you will be seeing me for many hours. I cannot run away from you so I may stay here longer than you like. I ask that you please be patient and bear with me. I will give the contents of the address I gave at the Coronation Ceremony of God. I want the seminary graduates to understand this particular message because it is most important. You may be examined in the future about the contents of this particular message.
Our fundamental goal is to liberate God, so I have the responsibility to teach you how to do this. There are many representatives from different religions but they have to study how to liberate God because they do not have teachings about this in any of their religions. I may mobilize the founders of different religions because I want to bring together many young people from various religions like Confucianism, Buddhism, Islam, and so forth. With the permission of their founders and heads of their religions, they can come here and study how to make the entire world one family. That is the meaning of Unification Theology.
Wherever you go, there should not be any conflict between religions and denominations. Our responsibility is to unite them and reconcile all of them. That is the way of the graduates of the seminary. Amen. Amen. Amen.
Today is the 39th Day of All True Things. That means we start the number 40. And this is the 25th UTS graduation so we passed 3 x 8 which equals 24. That is why I’m giving you a new view on the world. I am teaching you and you have to learn. Those who do not have an interest in this may leave.
Congratulatory remarks
Respected Professors, Faculty, Dignitaries, Students, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Today is the 25th graduating class of the Unification Theological Seminary. First, I would like to congratulate all of the students for their academic achievements. At the same time, I would also like to recognize and appreciate the sincere dedication and devotion of the president of the school, as well as all of the board members, professors and staff who made this day possible. Also, my wife and I wish to thank you for the honorary doctoral degree that you have given us.
There are many educational institutions in the world but this school, the Unification Theological Seminary, was founded based on the purpose and goal of cultivating the worldwide leaders who can complete the Will of God, by building a God-centered ideal world based on ideal families.
God’s Will is to build one world centered on God. Accordingly, five colors and races all throughout the five oceans and six continents of the world must become brothers and sisters under God. For this reason all religions should be united and make joint efforts for the establishment of one global family. In order to realize this, all existing barriers among races, religions, denominations and nations must be broken down to create one unified world. The Unification Theological Seminary was founded based on such an inter- religious, international and interracial ideology.
Beloved Graduates and Dignitaries! Now, with the dawning of a new millennium, as God’s providence in the Completed Testament age is in progress, on January 13, 2001 I conducted the Coronation Ceremony for the Kingship of God, our True Parent in Heaven. As the long-hidden secrets about the spirit world are being gradually but clearly exposed to the world, the four major religious founders are now communicating with one another, on which foundation God’s authority is also being manifested to the entire world. Further, both men and women, who are prominent representatives in the areas of religion, politics and culture, were appointed as Ambassadors for World Peace. Now worldwide organizations are being established to implement this idea in substantial ways.
Along with the graduation you are now about to take the first step as leaders to expand and complete God’s Will. Hence, your graduation from the Seminary is not the end, but is a beginning for a new mission. Therefore, I would like to share the following speech with you.
The Coronation Ceremony of God’s Kingship
(True Father’s additional comments to this prepared speech June 21 are in italics)
Ladies and Gentlemen,
When I was sixteen years old I met Jesus early on Easter morning, and set out on the path of Heaven to accomplish the Will of God. I suffered all manner of misunderstanding and persecution, but I never gave up. So I have devoted my life of more than 80 years to the effort of bringing about a world of peace based on the ideal of true families. In 1971, I came to America in obedience to God’s command, and for the past 30 years I have invested all my spirit and energy to guiding America so that it can fulfill the mission for which it was chosen: that is, the mission of the second Israel. Today, I would like to share with you some of my content from the recent speaking tour, as well as the content regarding the Coronation Ceremony of God’s Kingship that was held on January 13 of this year.
God’s Image Passed Through Lineage
Ladies and gentlemen, more than six billion people are now living in the world. Without exception they fall into one of two categories: man or woman. In fact, God created all beings, including those of the mineral, plant and animal kingdoms, with yang nature and yin nature. In other words, He created a pair system. That is because He created the universe to resemble Himself.
Let us ask then, who is God to us? What is His relationship with humankind? We refer to Him as “Father,” because He is our source of true love, true life and true lineage. Thus, the original relationship between God and humanity is that of parent and child. God is our Parent. Don’t be proud of your seminary diploma. What you are proud of will become the tool of enemies.
During my speaking tour, when I presented these questions, most of the western people answered “love.” Many people think that it is love; however, no matter how valuable love and life are, they are horizontal in nature; they appear and conclude within one generation; this is not eternal. On the other hand, lineage is vertical in nature and continues forever, generation after generation. The world doesn’t know how precious and important our lineage is.
This generation has inherited the lineage passed down through our ancestors. We are like a corporation
composed of cells inherited from all of our ancestors, going back to Adam.
Adam and Eve Lost God’s Blessing
What is the reality of the environment in which we live? Our mind and body have been fighting against each other since the beginning of history. World wars eventually conclude with a truce, or the defeat of one side, but the struggle between the human mind and body cannot be stopped; it continues without end. The mind and body failed to form a 90-degree angle in resemblance to God, within whom the mind completely controls the body. The fall of the human ancestors brought on this state of mutual conflict. Even non-religious people have to acknowledge that human beings descended from fallen ancestors. The mind and body are a fighting field.
Did God expel Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden before or after they committed the fall? He expelled them from the Garden because of the fall, so it must have taken place after the fall, and before they could form a relationship of love, life and lineage with God.
Thus, Adam and Eve could not have a marriage ceremony blessed by God. Instead, they married under Satan’s dominion. Doing so, they inherited Satan’s lineage and multiplied descendants. For this reason, Jesus spoke so sharply when he pointed out that the devil Satan is the father of fallen humankind, “You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desire.” (John 8:44) The fall destroyed the eternal relationship of parent and child between God, on the one hand, and Adam and Eve on the other. Therefore, Adam and Eve were unable to generate the love of true parents, true husband and wife, and true children. Because of this, God never had grandchildren of direct descent.
Adam and Eve should have avoided the fall and reached completion, forming one mind and one body as True Parents centering on God, their True Parent. Instead, they entered into a relationship with the enemy and found themselves in a position with their body in total control of their mind.
The Root of Human Sin
What then is the truth behind the fall story? We have to speak truth; otherwise people will be stuck in their spirit world. The Bible states that the fall originated when the first human ancestors in the Garden of Eden ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. This is one of many important passages that the Bible expresses in parables and symbols. It does not refer to a literal fruit. As Jesus says in Matthew 15:11, “What goes into a man’s mouth does not make him unclean, but what comes out of his mouth, that is what makes him ‘unclean.’”
It is human nature to try to hide our defects. A child caught by his mother stealing a cookie will instinctively hide his hands or cover his mouth. In the same way, if Adam and Eve had taken a piece of fruit and put it into their mouth, then they would have hidden their hands or covered their mouths when God called them. The fact that they hid their lower parts instead demonstrates that their crime was committed through the lower parts of their bodies.
There were five masculine figures in the Garden of Eden. First, there was God, who is the subject partner of the entire created world. Then there was Adam and the three angels, Lucifer, Gabriel and Michael. Eve was the only feminine figure. What do you think they felt, standing naked and without shame in the Garden of Eden, observing the insects and animals coming together in pairs?
The commandment given in Genesis 2:17, “You must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die,” was a strong warning about Eve’s love. Eve had to protect her sexual purity until she achieved maturity with a God-centered character and entered into a blessed marriage with God’s permission. Had she succeeded, she would have multiplied God’s eternal love, life and lineage.
Eve fell, however, because Lucifer disregarded his servant’s position and drew her into an immoral relationship based on his excessive desire. Thus, in 2 Peter 2:4 the Bible says, “…God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgment;” and Jude 6-7 states, “And the angels who did not keep their positions of authority but abandoned their own home––these he has kept in darkness, bound with everlasting chains for judgment on the great Day. In a similar way, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion. They serve as an example of those who suffer the punishment of eternal fire.” Clearly, the angels committed the sin of adultery.
I repeat: the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil represents Eve’s reproductive organ, and God gave the commandment to protect her chastity. That would have become the Kingdom of True Love. When He created us, God invested His entire heart and soul in our reproductive organs. He created them as the palace of true love, the palace of true life, and the palace of true lineage. The story places the fruit in the context of good and evil in order to tell us that if Eve were to have a relationship with a king, she
would give birth to a prince, and if she were to have a relationship with a Mafioso, she would give birth to a villain. The quality of the harvest depends upon the seed that is planted. It was called the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil because it could manifest good or evil.
The Fruit of Sexual Immorality
This is how the original sin, the root of all sin, came into existence. This is why it became necessary for human beings to find rebirth. Rebirth is necessary because the problem relates to lineage. Christianity does not understand the meaning of rebirth or the meaning of original sin. True education must be provided for them. What is the meaning of original sin? What is the meaning of rebirth? UTS graduates should be able to answer right away. Otherwise, you will be stuck in the spirit world. Rebirth is necessary because the problem relates to lineage, not because of eating a literal fruit.
The Bible also depicts the archangel symbolically as a serpent. Why is that? The serpent’s tongue splits into two at the end, and so the serpent came to symbolize a person who uses his one mouth to say two completely different things, or a person who will use any means to accomplish his selfish purposes. In other words, liars, and swindlers.
A man’s reproductive organ is shaped like the head of a poisonous snake. Think about it. It is always looking for a hole to slither into. What is this hole? It is woman’s sexual organ. A woman’s reproductive organ is concave, like the wide-open mouth of a poisonous snake with fangs. Once this snake bites, poison quickly spreads through the body, bringing eternal death. Adultery does not just destroy the individual, but also the family, clan and nation. This is most serious. Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed because of this. America may have the same destiny. We have to liberate it. After you graduate from UTS you have to clearly understand what kind of chaos the world out there is in, how it was caused and what we have to do. In the Garden of Eden, Satan defiled the chastity of youth. He is harvesting the fruit of that crime in the wave of immorality that is engulfing the world’s youth in this time of the last days, when history reaches its conclusion.
In the last days, the weeds and the real plants will be clearly divided. Will you look to the families of homosexuals and lesbians or the True Family taught by the Unification Church? It is an obvious decision.
To Whom Do the Sexual Organs Belong?
If the reproductive organs are this important, to whom do they belong? A wife’s reproductive organ belongs to her husband. A husband’s reproductive organ belongs to his wife. In this circumstance, a person’s reproductive organ can be unlocked by one key and one key only. Under no circumstances should you make a spare key. This absolutely cannot be permitted. The wrongful use of this key leads to the destruction of the family and the nation
You famous scholars, what about your reproductive organ? Is it your own? God created it for your wife. You cannot own your reproductive organ because love is only one in the eunuch. Only God-centered love should be pursued through this reproductive organ. Otherwise, we would all end up in Hell. UTS students also, if you fool around, you will be cut off. A husband’s reproductive organ belongs to his wife. In this circumstance, a person’s reproductive organ can be unlocked by one key and one key only. Under no circumstances should you make a spare key.
The one son and one daughter of God should last for tens of thousands of generations. This was the only son and only daughter of God. But Satan came in and destroyed this relationship with God. As a UTS graduate, if you don’t know God’s providence in this particular time that’s no good. I repeat: in this circumstance, the response is: a person’s reproductive organ can be unlocked by one key and one key only. Would you like to say that you wish to have a box of spare keys? If you don’t believe what will happen, go to the spirit world and see what you will face.
The owner of the reproductive organ is husband and wife and no other person. If you don’t follow this direction, then you will face the consequences in the spirit world. If my teaching is wrong, when you join the spirit world you can challenge me. So do you need a spare key? You professors, do you need a spare key? If you feel this is what you need, then you’d better pack up and leave. Anybody who deviates from this principle should be cut off. So make sure that your life will be straight with this teaching. Under no circumstances can you make a spare key. This absolutely cannot be permitted. The wrongful use of this key leads to the destruction of the family and the nation, just like Sodom and Gomorrah, just like Rome and just like America which is declining because of the misuse of this key. We have to be alert.
Do you understand, David [S.C.] Kim and Dr. [Theodore] Shimmyo? What about Dr. [Tyler] Hendricks? Do you understand this? Make sure nobody violates this universal principle. The fall of the first human ancestors allowed Satan to have grandchildren and prevented God from having this experience. Isn’t it true? Because of the fall of Adam and Eve, the entire humanity fell into Hell, so therefore, God could not have the third generation for grandchildren of His own. God represents the first generation and Jesus
represents the second generation so the Lord of the Second Advent will represent the third generation. Without having grandchildren you cannot have a family
God’s family has not existed because of that. UTS faculty and graduates should understand this. I know the spirit world; I know about God; I know about Satan; I am the one who discovered all this truth. I’m not a passerby; I’m not a beggar. Without Reverend Moon you think you can manage everything on your own. We have to be straight. Because the false parent influenced the act of adultery, there was the need for a savior
The first two presidents of UTS did not do their mission well. They sold assets; they spent endowments I did not give them permission to do so. How can you sell the assets and spend endowments that I gave for the sake of UTS? I don’t like that kind of management. You have to repent. Even if you have to sell your houses, you have to reimburse UTS; I’m ordering you. I’m telling the incumbent president of UTS to create classes for Confucianism, Buddhism, Islam, and so forth., and by the time students graduate, we will have taught them precisely about God and the spirit world. That way we can harvest from all this evil. For the last 25 years nothing was accomplished. I cannot trust just American leaders. We have to restart. In the beginning, I use to come here almost every day for three years, but I stopped coming because of the reluctance of UTS to develop further under my directions. But because of my children’s involvement at UTS, I came here. We will turn the corner now.
Restoring the Blood Lineage
Because the false parent influenced the act of adultery, there arose the need for a Savior, or Messiah, and for True Parents. Since Adam and Eve’s marriage was wrongful in God’s eyes, the Messiah was destined to come as the True Parents in order to restore humankind through marriage rightful in God’s eyes. Because of the fall, Satan cut off the blood lineage between God and humanity. The True Parents must restore this lineage back and we have to create the God-centered family, nation and world. Even though the nation and the world opposed me, I finally won victory. The country of America, and even the communistic regimes all opposed me but I won
I repeat: The messiah was destined to come as the True Parent. Do you think Parents should come as a pair or first just as one true son, a true parent of humanity? One. Only through one begotten son who comes as humanity’s true parent, will God’s lineage be bequeathed. Have you become the true sons and daughters of God? Have you resembled God? Our eyes and our five senses are still on the side of Satan. Therefore, we have to take care of ourselves. If UTS cannot provide the proper teachings to do this, I will close it down. Do you understand this?
The branches of the wild olive tree must be cut off and engrafted onto the true olive tree. The wild olive tree represents fallen humanity and is engrafted onto the true olive tree yielding true love. It takes more than three years; then after the engrafting, the true olive tree will grow and branch out and bear fruit; then the entire wild olive tree world will be eliminated. There will only be true olive trees and true olive tree fruit. That is the way we can build the Kingdom of God on Earth. Then all the true seeds will enter the Kingdom.
The Church is not the place where we collect debris and fallen people. For this cause the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification, centering on my teaching, has been working to bring the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth and in Heaven through the ideal of true families. If you doubt this, please pray about it. Some people have joined the Unification Church after they went through periods of opposing Reverend Moon because of media or other negative influence. Then they prayed and found out the truth.
Even during opposition from others, Reverend Moon never thought about himself or his own body or well-being. Reverend Moon has examined himself through all difficulties and trials. Because of my lifestyle and history in this way, many people who used to oppose me have come forward and are still coming forward to surrender themselves to me and follow me. I am not a cheap person. It is not easy for you to meet me. You professors, do you understand that?
We Have to Harvest True Fruit
UTS is under my umbrella and it should follow the directions given by the founder. Without knowing that direction, then UTS is no different from an ordinary Christian seminary. HSA Headquarters and UTS should work together. We have a branch campus in New York City. We have to harvest true fruit and offer this to God and we have to multiply this true seed to the world, just as the owner and founder wishes. If we become unripe fruit and become rotten or eaten by birds, we are not qualified to do the mission.
I discovered this truth through prayer so intense that my very life was at risk. I do not think there is anyone who knows more about the spirit world and God than I do. All the prominent theologians in the world could not answer if I were to give them three questions about God and the spirit world. I’m not a
passerby, I am not a beggar, I am proud of myself because I am representing God. Well, there has been much opposition but I am still proud of what I am doing for God.
David Kim, you should go and join your children. Theodore Shimmyo… the third person, Tyler Hendricks, Tyler, means tithing, learning… What is the meaning of Hendricks? Exchanging hands freely? You have a good English name…seek heavenly power, not position or knowledge power…you have known Father many years, but still you have much to learn… But I should not get so stirred up or I may turn over this podium. Do all of you like to receive this kind of spanking?
No one knows more about the spirit world than God and me. Even all the saints are united in the spirit world to learn about Reverend Moon. Ministers and theologians who joined the spirit world come to realize that what they taught on Earth was wrong. Now just like those in the spirit world, we all have to learn how to establish the Kingdom of God here on Earth. Professors here at UTS will have to pass that exam
I have always taught that we must maintain absolute purity before marriage. Are there any virgins in the world today? There are many homosexuals and lesbians, even among theologians. That’s why we must maintain absolute purity before marriage and absolute fidelity after the Holy Blessing of marriage. By doing so we can build a family that incarnates God’s four attributes of absolute, unique, unchanging and eternal love. That’s the way I have been teaching all these years but people, especially American leaders, who use to call me “ smelly” have come to realize that it was then that were smelly. So now they are following me. Just like a traffic control policeman, I am controlling the traffic of all these different routes of human life. Selfish individualism is an absolute enemy in the world of God. There is no such thing as privacy.
A man who is created in this way, as the reciprocal partner of true love, represents Heaven or half the universe; a woman who is created in the same way, represents the Earth and the other half of the universe. And the couple married in the Holy Blessing are never to divorce. This is the law of the Heavenly Constitution. Divorce divides parents and children. The rate of divorce, which now exceeds 50% of marriages, utterly destroys the underlying social discipline of moral law and human ethics. Nobody pays attention to this and some people even think it is normal. But wait and see.
Ladies and Gentlemen: Are you really ladies and gentlemen? Then what am I? Am I the president of UTS or am I the King of dignitaries? You ought to learn from this matter, whether you are yellow, white or black, a grandfather or the president of the nation, you should learn from me. Nobody knows about God and the world of God. That’s why they have to learn from me.
Relationship of Man and Woman
Who do you think God loves more––men or women? The later the creation, the more valuable it is because the Creator invested infinitely more of His dedication. Women were the later creation into which God poured His heart and being. If you will notice, women more than men, are born to live for the sake of others, for the sake of the husband, for the sake of children, for the sake of the tribe. That’s the way the women are supposed to live. Without doing that, they will be kicked out of the original creation. So God’s interest and love tended to lean more toward women than men.
How about some applause for women. If you receive more interest and love from God, don’t just be happy. You have to understand the agony and sorrow of God and you have to work to live the right way for God; but women run away if they are put on the right track to liberate God. It is not easy. Where does God want to reside? If Adam and Eve had not fallen but had reached completion and become one with each other centering on True Love, then God would have dwelled within them. That is why the first love is precious
God is the owner of vertical and eternal love, and the husband is the owner of horizontal love. What does that mean? When it comes to conjugal love, the sexual organs of husband and wife is the place where God can plant the true seed of true love. If we keep a relationship of pure love between husband and wife like this throughout life, from beginning to end, then the children will be the pure and eternal children of God. Our love organs are that precious. Satan destroyed everything. Satan caused everybody to deviate. Think about it; in society today, a grandfather sleeps with his granddaughter; a father-in-law sleeps with the daughter-in-law. Who can solve this kind of social problem? Reverend Moon is the only one. It’s like a cancer of human society; we have to cut it open and take it out, get rid of it. That’s why the satanic world fears Reverend Moon the most. But Reverend Moon will not die because of the perfection of God. You professors, do you understand?
Educate Everybody
When I say such harsh words, you may think I am rude but I’m telling you: there is only one shortcut to reach God. You will not be killed; you will not be destroyed if you follow God’s direction. Unification
Church members are not fooled. Do you understand the prejudice? What about you young people? Do you understand? The world is wide open. You should go out and persuade and educate everybody, even the president of Harvard University. There’s nothing to fear. With Unificationism and Unification Church teachings you are equipped and there’s nothing to be afraid of. Do you still think that you have something to feel afraid about out there in the world? I say no.
When I was young I was imprisoned many times. I have been brought to trial. You have to save my face, the face of my life. You young people, second generation students, you should go out to the world and conquer. Don’t run away. Just read this message hundreds of times, thousands of times; memorize it and follow these teachings every step of your life. The Old Testament, the New Testament through the Completed Testament, this teaching is clear. The Coronation of God’s Kingship is important and so precious.
Women receive the seed and sacrifice their body to provide the fetus nourishment and nurture it with love and then give birth. That is the mission of women. The baby receives 99% of its bones and flesh from its mother. That’s why we should become the children of filial piety through our mother and father. The father provides only one sperm, but over 99% of our bones and flesh comes from our mother. Therefore, if a child denounces his or her mother he or she then has no place to go.
Shall I stop here? Do you feel tired? Shall I finish my talk? I will follow your suggestion. I am a guest speaker. However, God says keep going — forever and ever! So if all of you leave this temple right now, I will continue with my speech even if I have to stay all night. Reverend is not a rude person. But I know what’s coming. I know how to greet people and I know how to treat people; I know how to help people and how to give advice to people and, though it may be former presidents and heads of state, I give them a hard time; I challenge them; I even call their names sometimes. I push them. I tell them, “ if you collect a lot of money because of your position, don’t spend it for your own sake. Make a donation for the sake of entire humanity.” That’s the way I am teaching them. That’s why the nations and the world are being influenced by my teaching.
Whether Republicans or Democrats, leaders will need my help if they want to run the country. Within three years…just wait and see if you think I’m lying. If you don’t see what’s ahead of us then you don’t know anything. I have hundreds and hundreds of different organizations and sometimes I forget myself some of the organizations or when I created them. There are so many all over the world. With what did I do this? With truth and with God’s love. With truth and God’s true love you can make a perfected world, no problem.
God is the owner of vertical and eternal love and the husband is the owner of horizontal love. American women do not know this. So the seed of life comes from God and is inside the husband. Women are like a garden. They receive the seed and sacrifice their body to provide the fetus nourishment and nurture it with love and then give birth. The baby is the extension of the mother’s body. The father’s love organ provides sperm, life and the mother’s love organ provides all the bones and flesh for the body. Man’s love organ and woman’s breasts and love organs are the most important organs. We have to make sure all of those are straight with God, as an offering to God. As an offering, there shouldn’t be any concept of possession. UTS textbooks do not teach this.
If you look at how a woman is shaped, you will notice that there is no part of her body that exists for her own sake. Is any part of woman’s body for her sake? Do her well-developed breasts and hips belong to her? To whom do they belong? To her or to the baby? Women’s breasts and hips should be loved by the mother more than the baby because they belong to the baby. American professors and arrogant scholars do not think in such a way.
A woman’s monthly menstrual cycle is for the sake of the baby. Nothing exists for her own sake. To whom do a woman’s reproductive organs belong? To herself or to her husband? They belong to her husband. In the end, we see that a woman is created for her husband and for her children. So a husband must attend his wife as a queen of queens. When his wife is breast feeding and nurturing the baby, the husband must do everything he can for the sake of his wife and the baby. We have to have pity on the wife.
Ideal Family
What about American families? Do they have that kind of tradition in their families? You young people should remember this. If you don’t follow this teaching you will be punished. I’m not giving you false teaching. I have checked everyplace––spirit world and physical world––and this is more important than the Constitution. This is a formula. You have to understand that. I didn’t come here to give false statements.
The husband is responsible to rear the children born to him and his wife to become filial children, patriots for the nation, saints for the world and divine sons and daughters for God. As a parent, if you drink and smoke and become drug addicts, you are not doing your responsibility as parents, because you
have to set the example and live an exemplary life in front of your children so they can learn from you to become the filial children, patriots, saints and divine sons and daughters.
Everything stems from the family life. That’s why the family is important. As Unification Church members, on the family level we have to become filial children, patriots, saints and divine sons and daughters of God. That’s why the Coronation of God’s Kingship was offered on the family level. The individual is for the sake of God; the family is for the nation; the nation is for the world; and the world for the sake of Heaven and Earth. Jesus is in the Paradise realm because he could not accomplish his goal on Earth.
The Value of UTS
American tradition has existed for more than 200 years and somehow God has been chased out of its school system and classrooms. We have to change the trend. They have to learn from Rev. Moon and follow Rev. Moon’s direction. There will be millions and millions of people who will want to come to UTS. We won’t allow everybody to come. This school, UTS, will become the most famous school in the world. That’s why I’m sending my own children to UTS. In order to have absolute unity between mind and body we have to learn how to secure the absolute pure object position in front of God. From the individual level, family level, national level and world level we all have to become filial children, patriots, saints and divine sons and daughters of God
When I visited the spirit world I could not see anybody who was qualified, but as Unification Church members in this world we have a chance to reach that goal. You have to understand this message clearly and make a new beginning. American, German and Russian, it doesn’t matter to me; we are all the same. Father is not a fool. Even Nobel prize winners and scholars have come and challenged me but I challenged them back because they don’t know about God and the spirit world and they don’t know what is ahead for humanity or the future world. They surrendered, saying they were sorry and saying they really didn’t know. I challenged leaders in America and they surrendered.
I have a career as a victor, a victorious person in the field. I didn’t live my life in a wishy-washy way. I strictly followed God’s direction. Understand that point. I am not a person who compromises. We have to make sure that our children will become filial children, patriots for the nation, saints for the world and divine sons and daughters of God. In this way, husband and wife relate as subject and object partners; in terms of quality man and woman are equal in value. However, in terms of the order of things, the husband who holds the seed of life within him is the subject partner.
Do American women have that kind of concept? Women in the nation of America do not have this concept. With the husband as her absolute subject-partner, a wife and the children should create one heart and one body and offer a true family to God, together. When the seed is sown we have to be able to harvest.
One World Family
Ladies and gentlemen, with the opening of the new millennium we are moving quickly toward the creation of a unified world. We are going beyond “one nation under God” and are moving toward “one universe under God.” The unified family of humankind that I prophesied many years ago is becoming a reality. Wait and see. All the five different races are marrying each other, regardless of race or nationality. They are following my direction and inter-marrying. Skin color doesn’t matter. That’s the way we build our hometown, our nation. God has not had His hometown, His fatherland yet. We are creating these, step-by-step through interracial, international holy marriages. We have to secure God’s fatherland. Is America in the position of God’s fatherland? No. What about the Presbyterian Church? Is it qualified to inherit God’s elder-son citizenship? What about Catholicism? No. They are all robbers and liars. I am trying to save their lives by teaching them the real truth. Nobody can destroy the Unification Church. Can America? Communism? Korea? No. I have been walking the thorny path and have won all the victories. Don’t hesitate.
There are still formidable obstacles on the path, in particular racism and religious strife. The qualitative makeup of our bodies is 99.96% identical. Therefore, blacks, whites and yellows, are all the same. There shouldn’t be any discrimination whatsoever. If anybody discriminates they are Satan’s tools. These stand against the Will of God. Satan created national boundaries, not God. Between our eyes, nose and mouth there is no boundary. They are all interconnected. You professors, follow me; try it; they are all interconnected. There is no boundary. Then why are there so many different walls and boundaries in the world? If your parents are starving while you are riding a Mercedes-Benz then you will be punished. Poor people will come out and burn your car. There will be a rally and demonstration. Rev. Moon is the only one who can stop them because of the power of True Love, not because of force.
The last time I gave an address at the United Nations I declared to the world the national boundaries should be torn down and if they have no confidence in doing that I suggested that they should all come to me and receive education from me because God is the God of loving enemies. We have to reach out all
the way, even between enemy nations. The children of enemies should exchange marriage vows. In other words, they should have their children marry each other’s children. What about you educated professors and scholars? Are you willing to offer your child to a poor laborer’s child so they can marry? We have to go beyond these human, physical boundaries.
Korea and Japan, historically, are enemy countries, but I am practicing the exchange of marriage between the people of these two nations. Between communist Russia and America, if we apply the same principle, by exchanging marriage between the children, peace will come. The world of peace can be established. The division began from the family so we want to bring unity from the family level first. Between theism and atheism we have to solve the problem by establishing the true family, one united family. That’s the way we can create the parallel and equalization.
The DMZ line, the 38th parallel line which divides South and North Korea is there. We have to have an equal line, a straight line, on the family level and the national level. We must be able to offer our children to the children of the most hateful enemy of ours and that’s the way we practice loving our enemy. By doing so, you will have good children. Even my children married with very poor, unknown church leaders, but my grandchildren are very bright. They will become world-renown leaders. We should learn a lesson from salmon: after being hatched, they go out to the ocean, travel more than 5,000 miles and come back to lay their eggs. If you just keep having your white race lineage, your race will diminish. We have to mix the blood, mix the races. That’s the way we can expect a stronger, brighter race from our descendants.
So if you can marry the most hateful enemy you have and create the most happy life, then you are a champion. You may say, “Oh Father, you have a beautiful wife, that’s why you are saying this.” But Father never thought about this. Because of my path of trials and tribulation, God provided True Mother to me. At the age of 40 I married a girl 17 years old. That’s the way God’s providence directed me. I just followed God’s providence. Nobody understands Rev. Moon’s life. It’s mysterious, full of mysteries. Even now I have many things to tell but I don’t share everything about the future of humanity.
In a manner of speaking, white people are a polar bear race. Starting in the Arctic regions they spread to Scandinavia, Britain, and on across the world. The yellow race lived mainly in Asia practicing agriculture. They had a deep love for the land, so their skin turned brown, like a brown bear. Black people are like the black bear of the tropics. The reason their skin is black is that they lived near the equator, where the sun’s rays are intense. The different skin colors among the races have no significance in terms of superiority or inferiority. It is simply a matter of our having adapted to different environments.
A fish called bakku caught in South America is a golden color but within 10 minutes the entire color turns dark, a protective kind of color is there. In fact, we know that the qualitative makeup of our bodies is 99.96 identical. Only 0.04% is different. There is virtually no difference. We have only one ancestor. White race, black race, yellow race, there is no difference. In terms of numbers, the yellow race is the majority. Two nations–––India and China––have approximately 2.5 billion people. Asia alone has 3.5 billion people. But the white race has only about 800 million. There is five times more of the yellow race. How can the white race compete with the yellow race in terms of numbers? You need my teaching. The world needs my love and teaching. Otherwise, there will be bloodshed in the future
What about the famous Mr. Rockefeller who use to be known as the tycoon of America? If an entire village launched a demonstration against him he would have to run. Suppose half a million communists launched a demonstration against the Bush administration. I could stop them. Most people do not know, but some special people understand my ability. I am the one who offered the Coronation of God’s Kingship. I have power and knowledge to persuade all the demonstrators to turn away.
Think about the term Faith-based Initiatives. They need me. Without my input what do they know? They have no direction. They have no knowledge of how to implement it… UTS graduates, I do not expect graduates like you. You have to take a quantum leap to reach another dimension, in terms of your commitment and your mission. That’s the meaning of the new millennium. You have to understand the spirit world in this new millennium. Without knowing life in the spirit world, even as a UTS professor you are disqualified. I am proclaiming new secrets, new facts, new truth to the world, which the world has not known. Just today, I made a proclamation in a daily newspaper in Korea.
I came to this world as a special emissary of God and give all kinds of statements and proclamations following God’s mainstream of teaching. This teaching will become the mainstream teaching of God’s Kingdom here on Earth. Can you understand?
The God of love is colorblind. God did not create different races with differing skin colors. In the spirit world, there are no white people or black people. The only color that exists there is the color of True Love. That’s the color of God, the color of harmony and reconciliation to which we become one. Just like all different colors of races are there and if we mix all those colors, that becomes white. Even if you have black skin color, if you join the spirit world with pure heart then you will become even whiter than the
white race. Think about it When you reach that level in the spiritual world you will meet a white person who was once your enemy, who use to persecute you, and that person will be shocked to see your shining brightness which is far greater than his.
Strife among religious groups is a particularly serious obstacle blocking humanity’s effort to bring about world peace. God did not create denominations or religious groups. In fact, RELIGION ITSELF IS A RESULT OF THE FALL. Without the fall of man, we would not need religion, Jesus or the Lord of the Second Advent. That’s why I took down the Unification Church sign. After 40 years of effort, putting sweat and blood into establishing the Unification Church, I took down the sign. Even if there is a beautiful tree standing, if you need to cut it down in order to build a beautiful house, then you do it. By the same token, in the Last Days I followed God’s providence. Did I do it, you graduates? Did I do it? Have I done it?
If I am the True Father of you, you have to follow my path, my footsteps. If you follow money, if you follow knowledge; if you go after power and authority, you will join the liars and when you come to the spirit world you will be hung upside down. You shouldn’t follow those earthly things. You are on the right track. Show both your hands if you understand this, particularly you graduates. At the age of 80, how can I keep educating you? It is too much for me. You have to learn quickly..
Satan fosters denominational schisms and religious divisions. In the spirit world, there are no walls between nations, denominations or religions. It is a world composed of one large family. That’s a picture of the spirit world. One huge, large family is the world of spirit. Love between brothers and sisters should be expanded beyond it, transcending the national boundaries so that all the people of the world are considered your brothers and sisters.
That’s the path I have come. Jesus is praying in Paradise. What is he praying for? He is praying that his unfinished mission be completed by the Lord of the Second Advent. In that regard, Jesus could not complete his mission. Jesus could not bequeath his lineage, God’s lineage, to his descendants. Was Jesus a man or a woman? As a holy man, divine son, he needed a begotten daughter. Do you think Jesus’ five senses were sleeping all the time? That his sexual organ didn’t feel anything? No, he needed his bride. That was his purpose of coming. If I teach this, the Unification Church is accused of heresy because we are talking about Jesus’ unfinished mission here.
I am not a fool. I studied science, but when I found out about the spirit world and God, I dropped my specialized education in electricity and followed God’s footsteps, to fulfill God’s providence. So that whoever I meet, I can teach them because I have the knowledge. It doesn’t matter who it is––a politician or scholar, it doesn’t matter, I can teach them. Skipping meals and sleep, I always tried to get to the bottom of everything. The food and sleep is not the point. I must reach the goal to establish the Kingdom of God here, to reach the Prince of God position.
I represent God, I represent All Things; all 360 degrees. “God, please give all the burden to me, I will take care of it; I will liberate You.” That’s the way I have been living my life. That’s the Course of Restoration Through Indemnity. By just talking? No. I have to practice what I have been teaching. I always practice first, then teach it. That’s the way I have done. It doesn’t matter who you are or where you are.
Because I know these things well, I encouraged all clergy during my recent 50-state tour to transcend their denominations and unite as one. Am I lying? I gave more love to them than I gave to my own parents and my own family members. That’s why they were moved and inspired. Many times their good ancestors appeared to them and gave them encouragement and a push, because of my heart and love invested in them. If I sat back and shouted with my voice you might think I am an arrogant person, but I am always practicing the truth first, then teaching it based on that practice. If you don’t know that, then you will have to follow me.
In fact, 144,000 churches are now leading this movement. The United Federation of Churches are leading this movement, centering on the American Clergy Leadership Conference. How many churches did I say? Am I lying? Is this a white lie? Revolution takes place in the nighttime. When others are in deep sleep, I am carrying on in this dispensational mission. In addition, the movement to break down barriers for the sake of world peace, which I explained at the United Nations, is rapidly moving forward. If those in America oppose, I will kick them away. It will become successful.
Congressmen and senators are following me too. Go and ask them. Through the CIA and FBI you can get information. I am not putting down America. It is true, the CIA knows me well. I am not a liar. The CIA offered its help, but I refused it. I didn’t want to destroy America and the world. That is the way of life I am continuing.
I use my own ends to raise funds to do all the providential projects. I created newspaper companies and I purchased UPI [United Press International]. All the different media thought I was crazy, that I was going
to go bankrupt. No, they have all become successful, even UPI. Within one year of purchase, UPI has come up to the well-recognized level. It is not Mr. [Dong Moon (Douglass)] Joo who did it. Was it Mr. Joo that raised UPI’s level, or Rev. Moon?
If you sing a song well that’s a good offering to make. If you go to a bar or even among prostitutes you should witness to them. Who should do this? Ministers should do this. Every corner of this world is now rotten. AIDS is rampant. We have to get rid of it. All of you, you wanted to see me. You complained that I didn’t come to graduation. Now I met you and you met me, so what kind of complaints would you give to me? You would complain that my talk is too long? What if I spoke for 20 hours? Would you complain? Normally, my sermon is about 10 hours long. My record is 16 hours straight. Sixteen hours and 40 minutes, to be exact.
Do you want me to break my own record today? In the Guinness Book I hold the world’s record for matching people. I don’t care about the gooiness record. I’m going to set a new record in the Soccer world and the world of Art and Ballet. Even the Western ballet is being taken over by me. The European ballet, the Russian ballet and the American ballet have all surrendered to the Universal Ballet Company. Some critics are saying this and that, but experts know that what I created, like Universal Ballet, has spirituality.
Blessed couples, show your hands. As a blessed couple, do you think your marriage is better than one in which you choose your own spouse? Just without any reason, you think your marriage is much better than the ordinary marriage? Don’t be self-centered. You will create many knots in Unification Church tradition. Think about True Mother. True Mother came from a very humble family. She was not the daughter of a president but I chose her. That’s the way we can have peace and equalization. Water always runs from the higher place to the lower place. We have to have a flat surface. That’s the way we build peace.
Between whites and blacks, we should create the same situation. I don’t force people to do anything to bring reconciliation and peace; I only give them truth. Through education I try to build peace. When I go to Korea, members have a spiritual antenna so keen that they appear in front of me without being told when and where I come. That kind of life is my life. God never abandoned me; God has been protecting and helping me; that’s why I have reached the top-gun place of the world. And that’s the way I have been raising people to become the royal family of God. Amen? Amen.
The movement WANGO (World Association of Non-governmental Organizations) is spreading from the United Nations headquarters in New York across the continents and oceans of the world. Even if the United Nations oppose me, I will continue this providence. Who can clean up this dirty culture of the world? Who can take care of the family breakdown problems? If they keep opposing me they will be punished. You will see.
The Meaning of Our Age
Ladies and Gentlemen, this year begins the 7th millennium of biblical history and the 3rd millennium after Jesus. It is the time of fulfillment for the Completed Testament age, in which the promises of the Old and New Testaments are fulfilled and the Kingdom of Heaven is brought into reality on Earth and in Heaven in accordance with the completion of the spirit world. The fulfillment of the Completed Testament age means blessings for the nation and the world. Because of the false marriage in the Garden of Eden humanity became Satan’s descendants. Now in the Last Days, receiving the true lineage from the True Parents, the Lord of the Second Advent, we can build the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth and in Heaven. That’s the way we can have total liberation of God and humanity. That’s the way we can enter the Kingdom of God automatically as we finish our earthly life here.
That’s why I declared the Era of the Coronation of God’s Kingship. You have to learn. Say “Amen.” You don’t want to say that. Rev. Moon came here for the first time in five years and he keeps asking us to say “Amen.” You don’t like it? You professors, if you do well, you will be respected as “ Sir” but if not then you are just an ordinary teacher. You will have to pack and leave. If you don’t like Unification teaching leave. White or black, it doesn’t matter. If you don’t do it, I will do it. I can teach more about God and spirit world than you will teach. I have everything to teach them. I am an expert on communism, CIA and FBI. They hated me but now but without any choice, they are trying to protect me. I am that kind of person. If you doubt this, go and check it out. Your faces do not look happy. You have to become the Ambassadors of Peace.
Providential history––because it liberated our Parent in Heaven from the path of sorrow that He has endured since the fall of the first human ancestors–– Hell, Paradise, the Kingdom of God, even atheism, economic viewpoints and knowledge––the hope of all these should be the Coronation of God’s Kingship. The completion of all, not just one field. Say Amen.
The New Age is dawning so everything will become different. Truly, the side of right will surface. Modern
developed culture and civilization is waiting for you to fulfill God’s providence. It is a matter of your determination. Who knows in these Last Days, those who came first may become last and those who come last may become first. The world thought Rev. Moon was the king of fools, but I am a wise man; I know philosophy; I know history; I have studied different theologies. I have already mastered the essence of all those teachings.
We could hold this Coronation of God’s Kingdom for the first time because all the people on Earth and in Heaven have been blessed and form a homogeneous nation. To arrive at that, religion––from Judaism to the second Israel centering on Christianity, to the Unification Church––went through the realms of the first, second and third Israel and the eras of the Old, New and Completed Testaments. Nobody knew the meaning of the Old, New and Completed Testaments. They are not the mainstream. Don’t be proud of yourselves because you know about the Old Testament and the New Testament. If you don’t know what I am talking about, then go and die, like those in the valley of old bones and skeletons [spoken of in the book of Ezekiel].
If you learned the Divine Principle, yet you add your own words and use it to your own liking, you are a swindler and liar. Not the truth, but you yourself become the liar and swindler for your own selfish purpose. There will be many different people like that and groups also––groups of liars and swindlers. Again, like those whose bones are in the valley of skeletons.
Jesus had the power to revive them. In the Last Days we have to revive ourselves through practicing Hoon Dok Hae. Hoon Dok Hae power will revive them. High and low, it doesn’t matter. Through the Hoon Dok Hae practice people can be revived. Study Father’s prayers and teachings. Everything is logical, ordered and structured. Beautiful sentences, poetic, artistic. Many people testify to this. My prayers are like that.
Unification Church leaders didn’t do their missions to introduce these prayers and teachings to the people well enough in the past. You have been living in the dark midnight period. Living that kind of life, how can you unify your family, tribe and nation? You can’t do it. Ask those four saints. They are giving their reports about their life in the spirit world. There are no secrets even in the spirit world. That’s why they are sending messages to this world. Am I lying? Why don’t you ask in your prayers? Your ancestors will appear to you and punish you if you think what I am teaching is a lie. They will tell you clearly whether I am a false prophet or not. Your ancestors know.
If you kneel down and ask God for fortune and wealth, God is not going to give you anything. You have to pray for the public purpose. A selfless prayer should be given. Otherwise, your nation will not prosper
If any of you want to leave from this auditorium, even if there are only a few left sitting here I will continue sharing this truth, because I won’t be able to come back here often. Some of you may need to go out to the restroom. I’m sweating a lot so even if I drink water I don’t have to leave the room because the liquid comes out in this way. For that reason, I could stand here for 10 hours straight, even if I continue to drink water. That’s the secret I have.
The Completed Testament Era
The Completed Testament is the era of the blessing for everyone. Because of the fall of the human ancestors, all things created by God could not stand in the realm of blessing. Therefore, God taught people by establishing numerous religions, leading them through the salvation providence and raising them step-by-step to the era of the Completed Testament.
The people of the peripheral religions were not aware of this. Judaism and Christianity paved the road of serving God as our Father. On that foundation Jesus came as the only Son of God in the end times. God lost control of human history due to Adam and Eve’s failure. For the first time, on the first Israel’s foundation, the only son whose blood lineage God could love was born on Earth: Jesus, the elder son was born. Again I repeat: The people of the peripheral religions were not aware of the Completed Testament age. Through Christianity God has provided every possible teaching. Judaism and Christianity paved the road of serving God as our Father. On that foundation Jesus came as the only begotten Son of God in the end times. Even Adam, to begin with, was the begotten Son of God. But because his blood lineage was stained Jesus had to come as another begotten son, with a pure lineage. God lost control of His human history due to Adam and Eve’s failure
Although Jesus, the elder son and the only begotten son was born, no “only begotten daughter” appeared. Satan took them all. Therefore, we have to get them back. Eve was created resembling Adam, therefore, Adam has to restore them, get them back. That’s the course of indemnity. It can be said that in Jesus God created Adam after the 4,000-year salvation history. In the original creation, however, after making Adam, God created Eve as Adam’s counterpart. He did so by imitating Adam, applying the same principle and blueprint He used when creating Adam.
The Bible says that God created Eve by taking the rib of Adam. This means that God adopted the core of Adam to create Eve. We are talking about bones. After the bones were created the flesh was added. That is why the perfected Adam would be in the position of God’s only son. God found the only son through the direct lineage of love, but did not find the only begotten daughter. Eve. In order to create the royal family, the God-centered King’s family, Jesus came. But he could not find God’s begotten daughter. That is why he could not form his family. If Israel was in the position of bone and Rome was in the position of flesh, they should have united.
In order to find the new Eve, God had to reverse fallen history through a family and engraft it into a nation. For this purpose, God prepared Jacob and the 12 tribes, considered to be the chosen people, and established the nation of Israel, but his chosen people killed Jesus who came as the Parent. Think about the sin they committed. From the moment of the crucifixion of Jesus, Judaism and Israel started being destroyed. That’s why Jesus was resurrected, centering on the spiritual and physical, but because Jesus died he could secure only the spiritual aspect of tradition. The Israelites were captured and became slaves for hundreds of years but they were returned, eventually.
Jesus lost his body. Jesus’ seed should have been given to begotten Eve so that they could multiply the True Lineage of God. But Christianity didn’t have the privilege. Only the spiritual realm for Christianity existed That’s why the Lord of the Second Advent comes to this world, not in the clouds, but as a real person to restore God’s sovereignty in this physical world. The failure of Israel and Judaism should be restored to build the Kingdom of God on Earth. From the family level it has to be established and engrafted into the national and world levels. That’s the way we can build the Kingdom of God. This is logical.
God had to restore fallen history through a family and engraft it on the national level. God prepared Jacob and the twelve tribes, considered the chosen people, and established the nation of Israel. Jacob’s twelve sons gained ground and expanded the area of victory. This brought into being the nation of Israel and Judaism, which led the providence up until Jesus’ advent.
The nation of Israel was an external structure and had characteristics comparable to those of Cain, while Judaism was an internal structure with Abel-like characteristics. Jesus’ bride, who would take the position of mother to these brothers, was to have been chosen on the foundation of the unity of these representatives of Cain and Abel. If there is a King then the Queen should be found and all the subjects should receive the marriage Blessing as well. Through that, the true lineage would be established and multiplied.
Think about it. If Jesus had found the begotten daughter don’t you think he would have wanted to marry? Even you ministers, if a beautiful woman sits next to you, maybe you would want to hold her hand. Jesus had that kind of physical desire too. This feeling of love, this realm of love is where God and humanity dwell together.
No matter how much prayer you include in your life, no matter how much suffering you go through, once you fall because of a man, because of a woman, your effort and your sacrifice goes in vain. If you decide to follow God, you have to persistent; never deviate; never compromise. In modern Christianity some churches accept lesbians and homosexuals as normal. It should not be that way. Jesus’ bride, who would take the position of a mother to these brothers was to have been chosen on the foundation of unity of these representatives of Cain and Abel. Through her, the nation of Israel and the religion of Judaism should have united as Cain and Abel and served Jesus as their father. Centering on their recognition that he was born of God’s lineage, and centering on the blessed family of Jesus, the clan and the nation would have been established. No one can deny this.
Israel was in the position of bone and Rome was in the position of flesh. If they had become united as one, then the world would have turned in a different direction. If there is no root, the trees will fall. The Unification Church has strong root, reaching all the way to the spirit world. The Unification Church will never fall. You professors, do you follow me? Are you listening? I am your elder brother or uncle. I am over 80 years old. [Father asks someone sitting nearby, “How old are you?” That person answered “72.” Father said to him, “Then you have to listen to your ‘elder brother,’ you have to listen to your ‘uncle,’ you have to listen to your ‘father-in-law.’ Are you willing to listen to me?” “Yes,” answered that person. Then Father instructs the staff, “Teach him the Divine Principle. He promised me in public that that he wants to learn more. So teach him the Divine Principle. Even if he would bring litigation I would not lose because he promised me in front of the public.” Again addressing the person: “You have the responsibility now to learn, so the professors will teach you; otherwise you will be stuck in the spirit world. You need Divine Principle. That will become the cane to lead you to the proper place in the spirit world.” Amen? ‘Amen’ means #1 man, doesn’t it?
I’m sorry if I sound rude in giving you such harsh and straight words and talking so long, but if I don’t do it my mind cannot rest. I don’t want to have bad dreams tonight so even if it is difficult, I do it. I don’t want you to have nightmares either, so go and repent, then you will enter the Kingdom.
Centering on the blessed family of Jesus, a clan and nation would have been established 2,000 years ago.. No one can deny this. Two-thousand years the only True Parent to humankind came. If the country of Israel and Judaism had united with the True Parent the world would be filled with God’s children in God’s nation. Also, no Vatican, no Protestantism, no churches, no ministers, no priests would have been needed. Only the Kingship of God would prevail. Children born with God’s wisdom will run this world, according to God’s Will.
Think about it. If the Coronation of God’s Kingship had taken place 2,000 years ago everything would have been possible. For 40 years I have been in the wilderness because of opposition. I have ability to influence even the United Nations. I will change the United Nations. That’s why, because of this kind of power and spiritual energy, the Unification Church members always follow me, Father. Am I right? Even if I tell you to die, you still follow me. Those who seek life will lose their life, and those who are willing to lose their life will gain their life. The same principle applies here.
[I can drink up to 100 glasses full of water. Can more water be provided? Do you want to drink as well? Why don’t you open your mouth and we will drink this water together. It’s like indemnifying water- drinking and eating food. Join me in drinking this water. When you are sweating, and you drink, the taste of water is precious. Nobody truly understands the real taste of water unless you are imprisoned. Then you truly appreciate the taste of it. When you are in prison and they give you one glass of water that has to last for 10 days just think about how precious each drop of it becomes. The same thing with starvation. Given one rice ball when you are starved, every grain of rice becomes so precious. Think about this. What do you think Rev. Moon has not done?
If I had become the boss of the Mafia organization, I would have been the worst the Mafia ever had. If I make up my mind to something, I will never give up to my death. Are you willing to resemble me or should I resemble you? Are you going to resemble your father, or should your father resemble his son? There is no order like that. No son is born before the father. So the father is always there when the son or daughter is born so you resemble your father. Anyway, you shouldn’t resemble your physical father, you should resemble Rev. Moon so you can enter the Kingdom of God! If you don’t answer loud enough I will fall asleep! If I close my eyes, and if I pray for blessings for you then I am a good father. Amen? Amen.
If Rome had dominated the world, even so, it would not have prevailed against God’s foundation made by Jesus. External things are like flesh, while internal things are like bones. Flesh cannot defeat bones. If Israel had taken such a position, Jesus would have achieved the unity of all nations, the liberation of God and the Coronation Ceremony for God’s Kingship 2,000 years ago.
In the 7th century, the religion of Islam emerged among the central people who received much blessing from God upon their return from Egypt. Muslims and Jews were brothers, but became adversaries. Muslims are expanding more rapidly than Christianity. They have a strong conviction. They are not swaying back and forth. But Christians are swaying back and forth, compromising. Ishmael and Isaac were both sons of Abraham but their descendants became adversaries and fought throughout history. They fought centering on Jerusalem, and Israel was lost. The lost Israel should be restored, but not by force.
That’s why Rev. Moon, representing Christianity, and Unification Church founder Rev. Moon, gave his hand to Minister Farrakhan, and also to President Wahid of Indonesia. I want to see Wahid and Farrakhan become brothers. Even at the time of the Million Family March I helped them. The white people opened their eyes in alarm, saying that I should not help them. But I said to those people, “You opposed me so wait and see who is right. Everybody will be blessed by God if they follow me. “ Close your eyes and pray. Don’t open your mouth.” That was the response I gave them and I helped the Million Family March. So ‘after the fact’ all the leaders of the world praised my act.
During my 50-state speaking tour, many black leaders came forward and helped my speaking tour instead of opposing my tour. So Rev. Moon helped them, not Islam. Rev. [Chang Shik] Yang served as Co-chairman of the Million Family March, alongside Minister Farrakhan. Some members of the Unification Church didn’t approve it but I did it because I knew God’s direction. I couldn’t follow your direction. But now most of you have come forward and said, “Father, you were right.”
In the heart of the black community in Manhattan where all kinds of crimes take place, I declared this message; and also at the National Capitol I declared this message. People all welcomed my message. You graduates should all become bones of this word; the outside, the external, the secular world leaders are like flesh. If you understand what I am saying, raise your hands. Thank you. The bone marrow should be sewn into you. That is the message, even if the hole is too small to push this message into, I have to force it in so that you can become the bones of the world.
Cain and Abel achieving peace in Jesus’ time would have resolved the war between left wing and right wing on Earth and in spirit world on the national level. If that had happened, I wouldn’t have gone
through all the difficulties and trials and agony. I would have been welcomed as a True Parent to humankind on the foundation of Christianity; then within seven years, right after World War II, I could have unified the entire world and built the Kingdom of God on Earth. But look at the world now. Because of their refusal and objection, the world has become the world of chaos. There is family breakdown and immorality. But now I still have responsibility to restore this world. That’s why I live my life in pain and suffering. But because the prepared nation of Israel failed to receive the Messiah, the Second Advent of the Lord became necessary. Centering on Christianity, which became the second Israel, the Roman Empire was conquered.
Because Jesus lost his physical body, America is in the position of the heavenly side Roman Empire in front of the Unification Church, but people do not know. However, history will prove this. But because Jesus lost his physical body Christianity expanded its influence worldwide representing only the spiritual realm. After World War II the world unified, based upon Christian culture. If that had happened, Korean unification would have taken place within three years, but because of the failure, after 1953 Kim Il Sung established North Korea. Even Korean Christian leaders didn’t listen to me; that’s why Korea is still divided. By that unification, Satan was subdued at that moment.
On this foundation, if Catholics and Protestants had become one representing Christian culture and had welcomed the Second Advent of the Messiah, the True Parents of humankind, the world would have been united. The allied nations and opposing nations could have been restored to God. This would have taken place within seven years from 1945. By 1952 the Coronation Ceremony for the Kingship of God would have been held. But everything was lost.
But Christianity did not recognize the returning Lord. To this day Christians have tried to persecute the Unification Church. What about you scholars, theologians? You may feel, “Oh, Rev. Moon, you stand in front of us and try to teach us theology?” But if you feel that way and you don’t open your hearts, when you join the spirit world you will become trash. If you don’t believe me, go and face the reality. In the same way, that the first Israel and Judaism opposed Christianity on the national level, Christianity has opposed the Unification Church on the worldwide level.. As a result, due to the grace of the law of indemnity we are now entering the time period of building the Kingdom of God on Earth and in Heaven.
As this has transpired, all religions have lost their footing.. History repeats in the parallel. Christianity, Buddhism, Confucianism and Islam now have the form of religion, but they have declined in spiritual vitality. Not only religions, but also families, societies, nations and the world have become like Hell. God’s ideal realm of love is nowhere to be found on Earth. In America, there is no family in which husband and wife, or mind and body are united according to the original standard. Parents and children are fighting. There is no family in which parents and children are absolutely one. All are separated in a world of selfish individualism.
They have lost the position to connect the love and heart to us and to God. With the inheritance of blood lineage the True Parents and child relationship is possible. Even God cannot separate people from their blood lineage. Nor can Satan. Because of this, in the Completed Testament age, humankind can indemnify the failures of both the Old Testament era and the New Testament era by expanding the true lineage through true families who have received the Blessing of the True Parents. This is logical.
Suppose you go to college for four years with no exams but at the end of the four years, you pass a final exam and you still get your diploma. We don’t have to learn about the Old Testament and New Testament if my teaching in this Completed Testament era is too much for you to learn. We should engraft into the blood lineage of God based on the original standard of absolute faith, love and obedience. Following that, we should become a people of one body, one mind and one understanding to reach beyond the realm of death.
The entire wild olive tree of America can be cut off and engrafted into the true olive tree in one day. It’s not a problem. If the entire nation is united with Rev. Moon and is ready to receive the Blessing of marriage from Rev. Moon then it’s easy. Satan cannot touch anyone who has a God-centered heart and ensures life and death difficulties on the family, national and world level. Such a person is in the direct dominion of God’s heart and Satan has no power over that person. I’m not speaking nonsense.
If the people had received Jesus to the extent that he as the bridegroom could have had his own marriage supper, he would not have died. Satan could not have touched him. Nonetheless, Jesus completed his responsibility and he entered the direct dominion of God. In the direct dominion, God’s blood lineage is connected. Therefore, there is no way for Satan to intrude. Lineage is important. You do not have a family where you can produce your children inheriting God’s lineage. So we have to be re-created; otherwise, we cannot be connected to God. I knew that. That’s why, even if there was opposition all over the world, I kept my life straight. If there was a river, I built a bridge; if there was a mountain, I dug a tunnel. I just followed God’s direction.
The problem is that we have not advanced to that level. If Adam and Eve had married and loved with
God’s true love, they would have been unable to fall. Satan could not have separated them. But Adam and Eve were in their growing period; the fruit was not yet ripe. Unripe fruit does not produce seeds. It has no eternal life. The place to dispose of lifeless things is Hell. They finally came to have no relationship with God.
The father-son relationship hinges upon blood lineage. Extension of the blood lineage does not just happen by itself. It cannot happen through the action of a single entity, but absolutely requires the coming together of the lineages of a father and mother. For this reason, Jesus should have married. Nobody can deny this. That’s following the Principle of Creation from God. God created in such a way. How could you bear a child all by yourself? Upon the foundation of the harmonious unity of man and woman, the internal and external characteristics of their blood lineages become completely one with the fundamental cosmic principles. Then the substantial mind, representing the internal character manifests itself in a substantial body representing the external character, and ultimately a human being is created and a life is brought into the world.
Humanity stems from Adam’s family. We are like a giant tree stemming from Adam’s family. Centering on Adam and Eve, whom God created as substantial beings, we are like branches and leaves that spread from the entire tree in all four different directions. We are like branch factories that manufacture heavenly citizens. Then we will all become the chosen people God will welcome. We will become the citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven. If you witness to many people, you will become rich in the spirit world. If not, you will become a poor person. By doing so, with the help of the True Parents of Heaven and Earth, we earn the qualification to live eternally in Heaven. This is how we co-create the Ideal Kingdom of God in Heaven and on Earth. This is God’s Principle.
Prolongation of God’s Coronation
Christianity, working spiritually, has tried to unite Cain and Abel, to reconcile religions and even to build a bridge between God and Satan. Upon this foundation, if the Lord of the Second Advent had been recognized, built his own true family and secured God’s sovereignty, the history of restoration would have concluded. Rev. Moon has done all. So the entire world should follow me. But this providence has not been completed. After World War II, America, as the second Israel standing on the Christian foundation, should have welcomed the True Parents who came as the third Adam and Eve and Lords of Heaven and Earth.
It takes more than believing in it; you have to know and practice the true way. This is like a math formula. If you follow the formula you can get the correct answer. By the same token, if you follow the teachings of God totally, then you will get the solution. American people don’t know that America is in the position of the second Israel. If we build the heavenly sovereignty everything will be solved. There will be natural unification. Amen.
We have to restore the ideal of Adam’s family. Then we have to build the ideal Adam’s family here and in the nation and world. In order to do that, we have to plant the right seed, the original seed; that way we can have children of filial piety, patriots and saints and divine sons and daughters. Our children should reach that level.
If Jesus said Amen, everybody should have followed him in saying Amen, and followed him all the way to the Kingdom of God. Unification Church members have a strong foundation in logical teaching. Even communists cannot challenge Unification Church members. This is not philosophy, this is knowledge from God.
After World War II, America as the second Israel, standing on the Christian foundation, should have welcomed the True Parents who came as the third Adam and Eve and Lords of Heaven and Earth. The foundation for the Kingdom of God on Earth and in Heaven should have been established and liberated centering on the creation of the Kingdom of the third Israel.
Including the 40 years of detour through the wilderness course, it has been 56 long years since this consummation once failed. Thus, for me to hold this Coronation ceremony to honor God is like a dream come true. At the time of Jesus it didn’t come true. Amazing grace. Nobody can overturn it. Not even God. Nor can Satan. Because of this Coronation ceremony for God, we welcome the age of Liberation. Amen. Amen means I will fulfill as you teach us. You have to follow me. You don’t have filial children, you don’t have a family producing patriots, and what about saints? The time is going into the world level. We have to be able to create saints. We have to reach that level. Then we can enter the Kingdom. Following True Parents footsteps, we will be able to reach that level.
It doesn’t matter whether Buddhism, or Islam, they should all be united, even if they have to sacrifice their own religion. They have to come forward and follow True Parents. That’s the way we can secure the liberation on Earth. Then eventually we will secure the world of liberation of the Kingdom of God in Heaven too. This has been True Parents’ mission. I said ‘amen’ then I accomplished. I fulfilled. What
about you? You have responsibility for your country America. I have sent out missionaries to all the 195 member nations of the United Nations.
If the entire world honors God’s Coronation Ceremony of God’s Kingship, there is nothing to fear. If you don’t follow this course, your ancestors will come and take you away. What about the cross on the roof of this building? It was destroyed by lightning on June 11. Why? Why did lightning strike the cross and not the rod on the roof? It shows the wish of Jesus to get rid of all the crosses in the world. So finally through nature the lightening came and removed the cross from the roof. If the flag is hoisted upside down, then the nation and world will disappear. Wait and see if that time is coming or not. You will see it with your own eyes.
In Adam’s generation he destroyed the whole world. In my own generation I will have to make sure that the world is restored back. At the age of 40 I was supposed to accomplish that goal but because of the opposition of Christianity, I have been in the wilderness for more than 50 years. Now finally the time has come again.
The children of the communist world are now coming forward for the international, interracial Blessing of marriage. But our purpose is not selfish. It is for the purpose of the whole. Therefore, since we have a greater goal, a greater level, we will absorb them. They will all surrender to us. When did Satan, Lucifer surrender? March 21, 1999 Lucifer, Satan surrendered to God and Jesus and humanity. Why? God somehow hinted to him, “Look at the world. Rev. Moon has established a strong enough foundation to build the Kingdom of God on Earth, so you, Lucifer, are losing everything. You will become a loser so instead of lamenting for tens of thousands of years, before that time comes, why don’t you repent and surrender.” God did not say this directly to him, but somehow indirectly hinted this to him. So Lucifer came forward and surrendered. But still the satanic remnants are felt all over the world. But the spirit world is united completely. No satanic force is remaining in the spirit world.
In the physical world we see some foot soldiers of Satan going against God’s providence. Blessed couples’ lineage has nothing to do with Satan. Satan can never invade blessed couples’ lineage. That’s why, centering on blessed couples in the spirit world, the entire spirit world is united. They are preparing to get rid of the satanic forces in the physical world too. Soon the unified nation, national-level unification, world-level unification will take place. If the United Nations doesn’t listen to me I will create an Abel-type United Nations and accomplish God’s Will here. You all received high education so I am telling you this. We can do it. You never know when the United Nations will be closed down and our new United Nations will start functioning.
I ask the question, “Who should hold this ceremony for God?” To answer that, let us ask: who was it that destroyed the hopes for such a ceremony to begin with? Satan and Adam and Eve destroyed it. It was Satan and Adam because Satan encroached upon their love. Adam and Eve could not assume the True Parents’ position and established the True Parents’ blood lineage. That’s why the world has become Hell. The fall inaugurated the trail of Satan’s blood and neither God nor Satan could deny or reverse it. It is not likely that Satan will destroy what he has created. No one, including Satan, likes to destroy or dramatically modify what he created. You too. Everybody is in the same position.
It is difficult for Satan to destroy what he has created. God by Himself cannot reverse the consequences of the fall. If He had the ability to do so, He would never have lost Adam’s family to Satan in the first place. In Principle, it is clear that the perfected Adam is the only person who can repair the damage. Unfallen Adam, perfected Adam, who inherited God’s lineage, is the one who can repair the damage. Nobody else. If anybody challenges this, I will tell him the truth and he can run away, but I will not back off.
We must understand that the perfected Adam’s family is the only family that can bring to Earth the original nature of love that originated from God. Everything needs a central position, like the center of a circle, to use as a substandard or reference point. The completion of restoration is no exception. Then what is the center of the blessed family? To answer that, let us ask, “Who gives the blessing?” The True Parents do. Who should officiate the ceremony through which children come to resemble their parents and inherit their parents’ blood lineage? Without the fall, True Parents would have. And who officiates marriages in today’s world? As a result of the fall, an angelic-type dignitary approved by the secular world officiates the weddings of our children. In terms of its value for restoring blood lineage. this is like climbing a mountain by walking on a horizontal ladder. In today’s world the physical parents do not officiate their own children’s marriage because of the fall of man.
Restoring the Order of Love
On October 14 of last year, I declared the completion of the unification of all the religions in both the spiritual and physical worlds. The false parent destroyed the spirit world too. That is why restoration in the spirit world should be done by True Parents. All the saints in the spirit world, my own children who passed into the spirit world and all the blessed couples were included in this ceremony. In summary, through this completion the True Parents are the King and Queen of the families. If True Parents’ family
is established as the family of the King and Queen inheriting God’s True Lineage, then not even Satan can invade there, because of the strong bond the family would have with God. That would be only a one-way street.
Therefore, centering on that family, the unification of the world will take place. Has there ever been anyone who, as a representative of Heaven and Earth, could claim that he is the King of the family, and stand as a descendant of God’s Lineage, separated from Satan? Such a person would have the subject partner position as the model of God’s True Love on the foundation of the eight stages of restoration. In order to become the King of the family, we have to become the first Parents among all parents, and the first Elder Son among all elder sons. That is the way the gate to the Kingdom of God is opened wide. If we can convince the President of a nation and the Congress and Senate, then the nation can be restored overnight. Amen. The time has come. Amen.
Among brothers, the first son should be the first to marry and start his family. Everything has an order. There is a term “reversed marriage” which refers to reversal in the order of marriage between elder and younger siblings. The order is violated quite often today. This phenomenon actually reflects the path of restoration. Thus people go this way and that way and even follow the reversed order. The disorder should no longer take place. If the right order is forgotten, everything will fall apart as it is in the world today.
Incest, illicit love relationships and such problems stem from this confusion. Couplings between grandfathers and granddaughters, fathers-in-law and daughters-in-law is an example. In Latin America particularly, you see this kind of thing a lot. It’s worse than America. But what about America? America is not safe from this kind of confusion. It’s all out there. Such phenomena reveal that Satan, the King of the fallen world, is making his final desperate effort to destroy God’s ideal of creation, the family. How can we set the right order and solve the problems? Rev. Moon is the one with the solutions
True Parents will reverse this entire course again. Then Satan will fail. Even if the weed is sown, when it grows and bears seeds it will burn. Incestuous relationships occur because people wander around without knowing the center. They don’t know whether to turn zero degree, one degree, 180 degrees or 360 degrees. Consequently, they grab and consume one another. In this era of confusion, chaos and family- level disarray, everyone floats around randomly to hook up with one another without any sense of order. The same is true on the national level and beyond
Who can bring order to this world? God could not interfere with the fall or with marriages under Satan’s reign. Likewise even in the Last Days, there is no way God can interfere. Since false parents created false love and false life, true parents have to reject these and restore true love, life and lineage through indemnity. If they don’t know, then they have to close their eyes and follow.
Liberation Through Sacrifice
What is the meaning of Matthew 10:39, “Those who seek their life will lose it”? We should be able to reach beyond the level of death in fulfilling God’s providence. We should be able to say, “I still have energy to do God’s work, even after I die.” Then, we will live. Because of this energy to do God’s Will there is no resurrection for those who fear death and run away to save themselves. Eternally, they have no chance to be resurrected. You professors are falling into the same category.
Then what about God and True Parents? If God lives for His own life, then there will be no completion. What if God takes the position where He is willing to lose His life? Then He will live. That is the way that God saves fallen humanity. God, who teaches this kind of truth goes all the way to the deathbed. That’s the way God has been working the providence. By establishing different religions. But instead of becoming one among the religions, they became adversaries. But now in the spirit world all these saints, the founders of the major religions, became one. They are all united, centering on Rev. Moon. If you don’t believe me, die and you will see the reality.
I am shortening hundreds of years into ten years to fulfill God’s providence here. Therefore, I cannot live my life randomly. Drinking, smoking, having drugs––there is no time for that. In a short time period of 40 years I have created so many different organizations for the sake of God’s providence, because the Kingdom of God needs those institutions and organizations. In that regard, even the most famous president or head of state cannot compete with me. Well, a president serves for eight years; I’ve been doing this for a lifetime. So I challenge them, if they are willing to listen to me.
Rev. Kwak, you have a mission to go after all those heads of state and the kings and presidents and make them surrender before God. Well, they may hesitate to meet me, but if Rev. Kwak goes, they don’t hesitate. Because if they meet me and they reject me, that’s the end of their life. But I am in the position of Parent so I have to offer forgiveness and love. So I cannot do it. That is God’s strategy. It is not easy for anybody to meet me. If there is a rally or conference I don’t easily appear there. I use my people to represent me and take care of all those functions. I have never had a position as president of a seminary, or president
of a nation, but I can push them, I can educate them. That’s my position as a True Parent. Like God. God wants to see His children become the filial children, patriots and saints and divine sons and daughters.
That’s the way we will build the Kingdom of God and a world of peace to continue eternally. That is the way God saves fallen humanity. God takes the same course. If you want to save somebody dying, you have to go into that place, that situation in order to save that person. If God is in that position, we have to go to that place to save God. If you throw a rope over a cliff to save the people at the bottom, you will have to pull the rope until you bring everybody up to the top. By the same token, when God offers everything for humankind, He too will live. Therefore, the Messiah should work even harder than God. He should be willing to lose his life. The Messiah should do that. People of filial piety should do it.
You graduates should follow these footsteps. Don’t go after your own comfort. Go for creating the world I just described. Tomorrow I will change leaders worldwide by drawings. American leaders cannot stay just in America. German leaders cannot stay in Germany. If it is to the boondocks of South America, you have to go there. Whoever does not want to follow that direction, I will exclude you, whether you live or die. I won’t care then. You don’t want to hear this. You still have to anyway. People in the modern world shout that they want freedom and more freedom. In the satanic realm they shout for freedom and liberation. But we have to see the freedom and liberation in God’s realm, not in the satanic realm. People do not know that. But the Unification Church is seeking the freedom in God’s realm. Freedom in the satanic is destroying power.
Although modern education is good, teachers’ concepts of freedom ignores the idea of sacrificing for others. It confines young people within the limits of the fallen world. Are they restored back to the children of God? Educated with this selfish individualism, people cannot comprehend the concept of family, tribe, people, nation, world and God’s providence. In this regard, the Oriental and Western systems are 180 degrees opposite. I have been doing this very work for the last 30 years and I have been opposed all these years. Just like Jesus waited for 30 years and started his public life, but he was still opposed. Even the perspective on the family is different. From the viewpoint of selfish individualism we cannot find a concept of family, tribe, people, nation and cosmos
How do we do it? We start with the smallest point: mind-body unity. Upon that absolute unity, the family, nation and world can return to God. As long as one clings to selfish individualism, he cannot reach that position. We must secure absolute unity between mind and body. What about you professors? Have you achieved that? Your mind and body is always fighting, day and night. Where there is a fight there is no God. True Love cannot root there. It’s always cut off. So the most critical point is the unification of mind and body. And the unification of parents and children; you have to secure the three generations in this unification. That’s the way we can build the heavenly family. I am telling you logically.
Even those who recently joined the Unification Church, it takes less than seven days to master what you have known. Even my fourth son, when he was studying at Harvard, he was studying in an advanced class and challenged the professor in the class. Hyun Jin Moon graduated from Harvard with an MBA degree. He has the ability to teach corporate executives. When I told him to go to UTS he was reluctant. I kept pushing him and he came. This is like internal, mind-side study; the other is like the external, body-side study. With that foundation now he can fly in the world. He has guts. He’s not going to go around in circles, he’s going to take the straight course. You professors, you can learn from him.
Well, I wish I could give a test to all these professors. How much have the UTS professors mastered my teaching? Confucianism, Buddhism, Islam. All those courses should be provided at UTS, but somehow they were all taken away. You don’t have those courses here, do you? Super-denominational, super- religious courses are not here in your school. You have to create those courses again. I’m telling you, this is my direction. Do you understand, Dr. Hendricks?
As long as one clings to selfish individualism, he cannot reach his goals. This individualism is the enemy of everything. Like Koreans cannot forget about the taste of kimchee. Americans cannot forget the taste of hamburgers. These kinds of concepts should be eliminated. This individualism is the enemy of religion, the conscience and God. It is connected directly to Satan. This selfish individualism was started by Satan.
Did you come here as spectators? Or have you come to hear my message and go through this difficult course successfully? It makes no difference whether you are a laborer or a graduate of Yale, Harvard or Oxford. There cannot be any selfish individualism. In Rev. Moon there is no selfish individualism. I give selfless, unselfish education to all of you. So as a professor at UTS, if you have self-centered individualism then you are not qualified to teach here. You will belong to the world of shadow. I know the spirit world so my answer is correct. It’s your choice. I taught you. I can find much more qualified professors from all over the world than you professors at UTS.
Who likes free sex more, white people or black people? If black people like it more, they do so because they learned to from white people, didn’t they? The life of free sex and homosexuality will inevitably lead people to drugs and AIDS, which threaten human survival. It is reported that AIDS in Africa has reached
a very serious level. Based on this assumption, some areas may almost be wiped out within two generations.
Taking on the Core Problems
Let us turn our attention to the United Nations. The organizations such as NGOs have many problems. They do not want to deal with the more difficult issues. The NGO representatives from around the world talk about this or that societal evil issues within their realm of influence, but when they hear my teachings based on God’s providence for the UN to unite the world and solve the problems of communism and other problems, they know that to achieve it is beyond their ability. On that basis, they accept me as someone who can help them. They believe that I am on the right track. I am telling you this after the experience. This teaching is only provided by the Unification Church. This is absolute. Without knowing this, if you are in the position of a teacher you must be ashamed of yourself. When the master comes to your home you have to honor and respect your master’s property. Otherwise, you are all like slaves.
The NGOs do not know how to deal with problems such as youth immorality, family breakdown and AIDS. No president or UN secretary general knows how to preserve pure lineage for humankind. They may ask themselves, “Is this really an effective solution or am I dreaming?” Rev. Moon cannot tell a lie. Historically, my statements, my teaching, are logically correct. You may have this kind of question, too. You don’t know Rev. Moon. The volumes of my sermons have reached almost 400. You UTS graduates, wherever you may go, you have enough material and enough assets to live your life as a minister. Enough books. I have many followers among philosophers, religious leaders and politicians; they all want to become my disciples. I’m not lying.
Now, I would like to explain clearly the conditions we must follow after the Coronation Ceremony for God’s Kingship. Until now, the most serious problem has been that of lineage, the Lineage that should inherit God’s Kingship. Westerners do not pay much attention to lineage. We are talking about our blood lineage. That is the most important thing. Kingship is not as important. Lineage is more seriously important than kingship. If any king denies the true pure lineage, the king is disqualified. Lineage should be respected and honored. We have to teach how to follow, how to respect pure lineage.
Rev. Moon is the only one who can provide these teachings. The American President has to learn that from me. Even the CIA. If there is a CIA agent here, go and report that to your superior. The CIA knows that Rev. Moon goes around and gives the real truth, no matter what. They know this.
Being parents is not as important as lineage. Society and government are not as important. School is not as important. None of the nations of this world belong to God. They belong to Satan. Therefore, to find their center, humanity has no choice but to follow the teachings of God and True Parents. No matter how you look at it, whether you are oriental, white or black, you are having so much trouble. From now on, whether you like to do it or not, you really should listen.
One reason free democratic nations like America are hampered is that the labor unions misuse their power. I will tell you how you can resolve that problem. In the same way blue-collar workers form a union, stockowners can also form a union. They can work together. Then each year will be much more productive than the last. There should be mutual benefits for each party, the employees union and employers union. They can compete with each other and see how much profit they can generate within three years. If employees have worked hard, they deserve a bonus. On the other hand, if the employers have worked more, they deserve to receive more. By using this method, they will never fight. In western society, no one has given this any thought.
As another idea, I will call on the religious organizations and blessed families of the world and we will make a religious union. Will you join with me? Once we solve the labor union problems, the problem of communism will be solved, too. Communist countries such as Russia, China and North Korea are free from labor union problems. Then what propelled labor unions in the developed countries? It was the diplomacy of Russia aimed at destroying the free world. They encouraged laborers to take as much as they could get.
No matter how you look at it, whether you are oriental, white or black, you are having so much trouble. From now on, whether you like to or not, you really should listen to what I have to offer. It is your decision whether or not to remain engulfed in trouble and confusion. Only True Parents can provide this pure lineage to all of you. If you don’t take it, that is your fault. As a farmer who plants seed in the spring, you must be able to harvest in the fall; otherwise you will starve in winter. Like the grasshopper and ant in Aesop’s tale.
Society and government are not as important as lineage. What about UTS? Is UTS providing teaching on lineage? None of the nations of this world belong to God. Have you seen any leader in your own community who belongs to God? They belong to Satan. Therefore, to find the center, humanity has no choice but to follow the teachings of God and True Parents. That’s the only way you can find the center.
That is absolute answer. Without following the teachings of God and True Parents, you cannot reach the completion. Nothing can be harvested. Pray about it.
The saints in the spirit world know this truth. That’s why they are united and are following Rev. Moon and they come down to this physical world and help their descendants. Not just helping, but if they don’t live in a straight line, they may be punished by the saints and their good ancestors.
You are having so much trouble. From now on, listen to what I have to say. If you don’t believe me pray about it. The saints are waiting for your prayer. They are ready to teach you. Today you decided to stand with me and your determination should not change. Now you must act based on genuine sincerity.
Have No Fear
What are we supposed to do in this new millennium? Until now, neither God nor the True Parents were liberated. But from this moment on, the Parents of Heaven and Earth are liberated and the children also are liberated. There is nothing to fear. God is backing us. The KGB? No. What kind of mistakes has the Unification Church made in America? We have to bring litigation against those people who think we did wrong. There is nothing to fear. Even if you are locked up, you should not be afraid.
You should not be afraid of passing into the spirit world even at a young age. Even the saints don’t want to come down to this physical world. They have established their foundation there and they don’t want to deal with their stubborn followers here in this physical world. So if you pass into the spirit world you will lose nothing. Why should we fear going to the Kingdom of Heaven at a young age? The entire cosmos is in your hands. I have the ability to unify the entire world, the entire cosmos. I have power. That’s why I am giving the Holy Blessing of marriage to all the people, regardless of race or nationality. You should not deny that you have ultimate value as a child of God. You should not worry.
Today, by holding God’s Coronation Ceremony, we have changed the nation. It is the time to worry only about how to follow Headwing ideology and Godism which expresses the Will of God. God has been pained with the history of resentment. God has never had a chance to do what He wanted to do with humanity. We need to provide the supportive force now so that God can have full authority based on what He wants to do. Are you willing to do that? Show your hands. Thank you.
Should we say to God, “God, please wake me up and take me along.” Or should we say, “God, please come out. I will guide you now. You have worked all these years to awaken us and guide us, but from now your hard work has paid off. The Coronation Ceremony has been offered. You have every right to do whatever you want. I will guide you.” You know how to guide, don’t you? Whether or not God can visit you, you should know how to guide Him. From now on things will change. Can you do it? As long as you can guide God, that means, “Can you do Hoon Dok Hae?” If you cannot do Hoon Dok Hae you’d better die.
Do you know how to achieve perfection as an individual? Do you know that individual perfection comes through mind and body unity? At the time of the fall, the body that inherited Satan’s love and blood lineage became stronger than the conscience. This was the problem. Under no circumstances should we follow bodily desires. Drinking? Falling? Gambling? Smoking? They are all the weapons of Satan. We cannot indulge in it. From now we must not follow bodily desire because bodily desire is worse than Satan.
Three Immutable Laws
From now, we have to recognize and abide by immutable law. The first law is that one must not stain the blood lineage, even to the point of dying. The second law is not to infringe upon human rights. Whether female or male, black or white, everyone is equal. One must not discriminate or violate human rights. For this reason, people who are in a leadership position must not change someone else’s position according to their own desire or feeling.
The one who practices true love, honoring human rights in the correct way and living for the sake of others, is in the mainstream. The creation of Heaven and Earth began from that point. The acts that dilute or betray this main current of thought are not to be violated. Violation of this is the second of all sins.
The third law is to refrain from stealing money to fulfill selfish desires. Seventy percent of the people in jail are there because of these crimes. If you are imprisoned, you will see this is true. Human rights infringements and lineage violations are problems that concern man and woman. Then come money problems. Following these are the problems dealing with power. Money, knowledge and power have ruled the satanic world.
From today forward, the blessed blood lineage that has been bequeathed through God’s Love and Life cannot be contaminated by actions immersed in the habitual patterns of the fallen world. Can you abide
by this rule? All couples, even if your spouse is dead, must pledge today that you will not stain your lineage. This is the most fearful. We must not forget this memorial day. When husband and wife are quarreling, they should be able to stop immediately by remembering January 13.
In the West, 13 is the worst of all numbers. If the center number was 13 then the principle of Heaven and Earth would circulate through the 12 months of the year. However, since these 12 numbers do not circulate centering on the number 13, everything is in chaos and it has become an irrational, confusing world. God’s desire is to straighten it out. Once you understand this principle, you must abide by it even if you have to die a thousand times. Think of this as a moment to make an unbreakable, impermeable determination.
What is the first law? Purity! Second? Abuse of human rights! Third? Misuse of money! On this memorial day, in order to maintain the sovereign power, the Kingship of Heaven, and to stand before it as a people, parents, husband and wife, children, and brothers and sisters, this law is absolutely necessary. Therefore, you cannot neglect your older brother. You cannot neglect your younger brother even if he happens to be handicapped. In the secular world, people may not care, but we cannot neglect in-laws or relatives.
Should you who graduated from a university neglect those who only completed high school? That is a sin. It violates human rights. Following that offense is the misuse of money. The selfish abuse of the public environment is as sinful and fearful as taking public money. Those with such a lifestyle will not succeed regardless of how they try to live a good life. The whole universe dislikes those who incur debts.
Within a clan, who likes it when you create problems for everyone else and cause the clan to fall into debt? In the end, the entire clan will come forward and punish the problem-maker. That time is coming. Do you understand these three points? Count the number of determinations that you have made in your heart to follow the laws of the Kingdom of Heaven. Do you pledge to do that?
These laws have to do with purity, equalization of all people and the proper use of the national property. You should understand everything well and make it habitual. You will avoid wrong actions only when you reach that stage in which, as soon as your mouth opens, you spontaneously talk about these Articles of the Kingdom of Heaven. There is no doubt you will face challenges in life, but if you make an effort to abstain from violating these divine laws, the challenges will make you a victorious person.
Goals For Your Life
As long as you abide by these heavenly laws, you do not need my teaching any longer. You will naturally enter the Kingdom of God. How do we do that? What do we do next? What kind of life do you want to live? We all want to live well, but do you consider living alone to be a good life? No. We should live together with what kind of people? And following what rules and in what environment?
It is simple. There are three dimensions: the parent-child relationship, the conjugal relationship and the brother-sister relationship. This last one means brothers and sisters in the position of children to the parents; it refers to a relationship among children of the same parents. This is why once a family has a mother and a father; from that couple come sons and daughters. You have the brother-sister relationship because you stand before the same mother and father.
In my eyes, third cousins, the in-laws and all the cousins and so on including all people are related, sharing the brother-sister relationship. Once the parent-child relationship and conjugal relationship are connected, brothers and sisters will automatically come to exist. The relationships within this wide range of humankind may be called brother-sister relationships. They are created to live a good life in harmony.
To live a virtuous life, guidance is necessary. Each person has to be an example to others. That defines a virtuous way of life. If you cannot become a model for others, you are not leading a true life. If your life can serve as an example before the mother and the father, the husband and wife, and children, then you are living a virtuous life.
There are three relationships: parent and child, husband and wife, and among the children. The brother- sister relationship is a consequence of the harmony of all these relationships. Therefore, whether in a brother-sister relationship or children’s relationship, in order to become a person standing in the position of subject, you must influence others positively, such that not even one person can live without you.
From now on, even if you are accused as a traitor and executed in the view of the world, if you keep these things absolutely, your family will belong to the heavenly royal family that possesses eternal freedom, unity and liberation. I want you to remember this clearly. Keep it as a commitment.
In the standards of the third millennium, I mentioned pure lineage, the equality of human rights, and the preservation of national public assets. That means, do not be a thief. What is next? Be an example! Be an
exemplary parent, exemplary spouse, exemplary child and exemplary sibling. If you form such a family, people in your neighborhood will say, “We should follow that person. I want to live with him.” That person is surely a citizen of Kingdom of Heaven, and Heaven will remember that family forever. I, Rev. Moon, am living such a life too.
On this historic day of the Coronation Ceremony of God’s Kingship, I explained the three most important things that humankind must uphold. By practicing these you can be truly liberated in your family and in your nation. I hope you can remember these contents and keep them as the goals of your life.
In the Completed Testament era, we must know and understand about the spirit world. May you study about the spirit world and God, and may you live for the sake of others. If you do so, you will receive the Blessing and become a blessed family. You prepare for your eternal life by living for others. We should all try to gain this heavenly fortune, which surpasses the fruit of all earthly effort.
In front of the living God, with humility, let us be children of filial piety and loyalty. Let us become the divine children of God. Inside of God’s sovereignty, in this age of His Kingship, let us stand together to establish a world of peace, love and harmony.
I’m sorry my speech was so long! May God bless you and your family.
