HOW GOD IS PURSUING HIS RESTORATION PROVIDENCE

Now that you know God exists, I am going to talk about how God is pursuing his providence of restoration. For the restoration God always goes by the Principle. Because of the fall of our ancestors, we b~came fallen and couldn’t live with God . In the Garden of Eden, God, Adam, Eve, and the Archangel could have formed the ideal world . By the fall they formed the world in which they were not united into one. The cause for this world was not slight. It was brought about by a basic, fundamental cause. Adam, Eve, and the archangel committed this crime against God; therefore God couldn’t live with them. God kicked Adam and Eve and the archangel from the Garden of Eden. In this situation, the ones driven away by God must have felt sorrowful. But God also must have felt great sorrow. Therefore our ancestors left God with tears- that was the start of human history.

Adam and Eve should have shed tears of joy when they fulfilled God’s will and returned joy to God. But instead they shed tears of sorrow . That was a most miserable situation. Adam and Eve left God with no hope of return. Without this hope, how much more their sorrow must have been! And for God, too, who saw their life of greatest difficulties. He was to lose his beloved son and daughter eternally. There was almost no hope for Him to restore them. At that point, how great His sorrow must have been. For God, Adam and Eve were to be His great son and daughter. But Adam and Eve were kicked away by the enemy Satan an became his children. God could not save them, the archangel could not save them , Who could save them? God was the parent of Adam

l antl Eve, so He had the mind to forgive them. But He was in such a position that He couldn’ forgive them. Therefore His pain was much greater.

If there were another son or daughter who had not fallen, and if this unfalle,n son would have asked God to save the fallen brother and sister--not to expell them from the Garden of Eden and to r::J give him their punishment- how would God feel toward that son? If there were such a brother asking God to forgive the fallen pair because of him, God would have a mind to forgive them . Such a mind of God became the basis for the salvation of fallen man .

In our Divine Principle we teach about the problem of Cain and Abel. To save Cain, there must be an Abel. This Abel is~ the position of the unfallen brother who asks God to forgive th@ fallen Adam and Eve because of him . To become Abel he must first be in a position to receive God’s ~ o receive God’s love, he must come out of the fallen sphere of Satan. Because~he comes out

~---:-c~------ ----- of Satan’s hands to love God, God can love him . Therefore Abel first must come out of Satan’s - world to receive God’s love. By doing that he comes to be in the position of Abel. And to save the 0 fallen Adam and Eve-that is, Cain--he must make himself a sacrifice for their salvation. This becomes the central principle in the providence. of God’s salvation.

When Adam and Eve left God they shed tears of sorrow~ that is the heart o Cain. Therefore Abel should shed ~ars of hope for God’s hope in him and for God’s providence of Restoration, thinking of God’s painful heart when He lost Adam and Eve . Such a man always comes to the central position in the providence of restoration.

After Cain and Abel, God ound hope in Noah. For years Noah could only think of building the ark, and went to the mountain to work there. Do you think there is a woman who can endure t~n ;:ears with such a husband? An American wife sues for a divorce if her husband goes away for

six months. Noah’s work was not an ordinary task. Therefore this event must have been the greatest event after God created man. And if a wife starts to persecute her husband, the children will also do the same with her. How much pain Noah must have felt in his heart when ~is family could not under- stand him. Because of this he had great troubles. When he asked his family to get him something to eat, or something to wear, they treated him as if he were a beggar. Noah could bear the persecutions from outside of his family-from the village or from the nation. But these sufferings and persecutions w.e1;e_ cominfLfrom inside his own family, the most difficult for him to bear. In spite of that, he had to finish his work. He had great confidence, great faith in God . We have to admit that Noah’s life was full of persecution and rejection-he was entirely alone . But he couldn’t throw away God, even if he could throw away all others. His wife and children might have felt they would have liked to kill l:lin.h But the more he received persecution from his environment, the more his heart for God became greater. He became separated from his circumstances and his commumty. He became separated from The world, so he came into the position where he could receive God’s love. If he had rejected those people who persecuted him, then God’s will wouldn’t have been fulfilled . But Noah sacrificed himself for those who persecuted him. Instead of causing them to suffer, Noah had a mind to forgive their sins for God . He was standing in the position of the unfallen brother asking God to forgive the fallen brother and sister and ~llingl>:: bearing all the difficulties. Noah had such a mind. Because of that mind God could proceed in His providence of restoration . The position of.complete self-denial-that was Noah’s position.

Abraham also went the same course. God gave Abraham the order to come out of the land of his forefathers . For Abraham the.r:e was no guarantee. But he left his homeland and went into a strange land, just like a gypsy . If Abraham had said no, the providence of restoration could not have gone on. If he had felt he couldn’t leave his home, his native place, or his relatives, the restoration could not have been done. Because he cast aside his good environment and good circumstances, God could continue. And after he left his land, the more he received suffering, the more God could love him. ~ Even in the face of such difficulties ~braham had a mind to console God’s broken heart. Abraham was suffering for the fallen Adam and Eve , and he wanted to restore them through his sacrifice. And God led Abraham to strange places, to other lands, and put him under very great difficulties. But even then Abraham never protested to God. Instead he always thought of God’s will, and the fallen people. Therefore God could only bless him . And God promised to multiply his descendants as the stars in heaven and the sand on the earth.

Isaac also had the same course. Abraham was 100 years old wheh Isaac was born, but he did not hesitate to offer his own loving .son as a sacrifice for God . Isaac was born in a place where he could receive God’s love; he was severed from Satan. But Abraham wanted to offer even that son . If Abraham had protested when he received the orders to offer his son as a sacrifice, then what would have occured in the providence? Also Isaac himself did not protest to his father when his father put him on the altar. So he became the sacrifice, offering to forgive the descendants of Abraham . Therefore he did not protest.

And Jacob had the same course . H e bought the birthright from his elder brother and took it from him . He left his home. He went to the land of Haran and worked for his uncle for 21 years as a slave. His uncle had promised to give him Rachel. But after seven years, he deceived Jacob and gave him Leah. If it were you, you would have submitted an instant spontaneous protest. But Jacob kept silent, worked for another ~even years, and got Rachel. Then his uncle Laban deceived Jacob by trying to take away all the things which God had given him. Still Jacob did not complain. Here we must know that even though Jacob was in the loneliest of situations, still he though t of nothing else but God’s will. Because of that, other things in his life did not matter-the important thing was ilie accomplishment of God ‘s will. Therefore he grew farther and farther from the world, but he came to receive more love from God . And after 21 years he took back all the blessed things and we11,t back to Canaan. He knew his brother Esau was ready to kill him . So Jacob had the mind that all his

servants and his material wealth belonged to his elder brother. He wanted to give them all to Esau- all the things which he had earned for his life. And his mind was such that he prayed before God not to punish his elder brother Esau, and asked God to bless him as He had blessed Jacob. Because of that, Esau did not try to kill Jacob, and he too received the blessings from God.

Moses went the same p incipled course. He spent his youth in the palace. But when he saw his people suffering, he left the Pharaoh’s palace. He killed an Egyptian who persecuted Israelites. The Egyptian represented Satan, and Moses killed him with that mind . The Jewish people were like .J Clfl’l’-- fallen Adam and Eve. Moses’ position was to save them, in spite of the danger, the same as the 1S ~ ,”’-~” unfallen brother would have asked for Adam’s and Eve’s forgiveness of God. But the people of f \ 10 ~ Israel didn’t receive Moses, who tried to save them . They persecuted him, and expelled him to the ~\c,,.vv-’j wilderness of Midian . There Moses longed for God, loved God, and made a resolution to save his people. Because of that intention, God chose him to free the Israel people from Egypt. In that way Moses followed the same course .

Think of John the Baptist at the time of Jesus. He lived in the wilderness for 30 years, leaving his relatives at home. So he came out of his home and went to the wilderness, thinking of the will of God and wanting to save the fallen brothers as the unfallen brother would have. In the Bible we read that John ate locusts and wild honey . But his life must have been painful in’the wilderness. Do you think he lived solely on locusts and wild honey? It can’t be. If you have been to Israel, you know that it isn’t a land which would yield much honey . Therefore, he acted like a beggar, going from home to home. Many children followed him. But his mind was concentrating on the idea of the Messiah’s coming, and he looked for God’s love in the form of the Messiah. So his hfe was worthy of God’s sympathy, and he could stand in the position of witnessing to the Messiah.

Jesus had the same course . The Jewish people had waited for 2,000 years for the Messiah. If they had known him, they would have followed him . They would have come to him and become one with him. They longed for the Messiah and worked in accordance with the preparation for the Messiah. In other words, the Israel people should have been severed from other people to stand in the same position as the Messiah. They had to form a nation which could receive God’s love, just as Jesus received God’s love. After forming this one soverei n nation with Jesus, they would have ‘sacrificed it for the entire war . uring that time the Roman Empire was declining. If the Israeli ‘nation and the Arab countries had become one, they could have defeated the Roman Empire. By subdwing the Roman Empire, they could have established God’s will . But the Jewish people didn’t receive Jesus, so Jesus alone was determined to sacrifice himself for the nation and the world . Jesus had to leave his family, live in a solitary way, and receive God’s love. Finally he made himself a sacrifice for other people, just as the tinfallen brother would have sacrificed himself for the salvation 9-f the fallen Adam and Eve . All people were in the position of the fallen Adam a n ~. He killed himself for them-he became the sacrifice. He did not curse those who killed him . He prayed and asked God to bless them . Therefore Jesus stood as a mediator between God and the fallen Adam and Eve. He died as an unfallen Adam of the world . And he practiced the formula for the salvation of the people of the entire world . Therefore, he became the exemplary Adam-whoever followed him received salvation.

From him a new world of salvation could be established . That is the history of Christianity. It went through the same course as Jesus, Whenever Christianity went to a strange country for the first time, the men who went with it had to undergo difficulties and shed their blood . Those who died went to such steps to be separated from the world and from Satan. They stood in the position where th_ey could receive God’s love and make themselves a sacrifice for others . If they had wanted to cmse those who killed them, there could have been no providence for restoration. Even at that time, they had t o pray for those who killed them . Without that kind of mind Christianity couldn’t proceed in the manner it did. Those things occurred because God had the intention to forgive Adam V

and Eve after the fell if onl an unfallen brother Id have come out to console God’s painful mm , m ing of the pain of his fallen brother and sister, and willing to sacrifice himself for eir sakes.

During this period today, we have to indemnify all the conditions lef:t over from Jesus. Jesus was persecuted and put to death on the cross; therefore he must come back from the cross. The highest point, the crest of the providence was in 1960. At that time Master received persecution from · the government, the nation, from all people, from all the churches, and from all the families of our {S_J members. So he received persecution from everyone . He was Q_alled by the police to undergo investi- gation, but even in those circumstances he blessed 36 couples. In that situation he had to determine life and death. That was the dividing point of whether the Unification Church would exist or perish. He had to breakthrough those difficulties, and have the blessings. From that point, a new history started. So that was the turning point of history. Many historians say that 1960 was the turning point of history. )C,lo0 }Y1,v He came down from the cross, and then he began to solve all the problems. After a seven-year course h~could establish a firm foundation. During the first seven-year course he proclaimed Parent’s Day, Children’s Day, World Day and God’s Day. He blessed 36 couples, 72 couples, 124 couples, and 430 couples. And in 1965 he made 120 holy grounds in 40 nations. According to the providence, history is turning towards our movement because he made such conditions. Therefore the first seven- ~1 year course was a perio~rifice for his family . He sacrificed his home for the salvation of the world. That was the time to fulfill the formula on the family leve). We are now in the second seven- -year course . During this course, the children-the blessed couples- musl go through those difficulties. They must make their homes a sacrifice for the salvation of the world. In the first seven-year course, Master sacrificed his family and home to save his children. In the second seven-year course, his children’s families must sacrifice themselves to save a nation. When we acquire that nation , it will be sacrificed fur the world . Therefore the second seven-year course and the fortune of the nation are equal. The second severi=year course indicates the growth stage, corresponding therefore to the days of Jesus. So during this seven-year course we have to make a nation, its people, and its churches one with our movement. This must be done in three yeai:s, just as Jesus had three years of public ministry . 1970- 197 2 are these three years.

So we sent all the wives of the blessed families ta th e fron t. That is because Jesus failed his mission; he couldn’t acquire a wife and establish his family . _T oirulemnify that, the wives must go out from their families. If a bride and family had been one with Jesus, then a nation and Judaism could have been one with him . The three-year course from 1970-1972 is to indemnify that. Among the Jewish people, the country was divided into north and south. Korea is divided in two- north and south . They are fighting like Cain and Abel-the northern side is Cain, and the southern side is Abel. The dictator of North Korea, Kim 11-Sung, is called the perfect Communist. The whole world admits he is the most severe Communist there has ever been. Evil tries to establish God’s form of the ideal before God can. Therefore North Korea’s Kim 11-Sung js the strongest Communist; he calls himself “father” before the people, who serve him in that way. In the Unification Church in South Korea, we call Master Father. So now the false father and the True Father are confronting each other. To defeat Satan, the True Father and a nation must become one. Fallen Adam and Eve, the fallen parents, could have been saved by their children Cain and Abel -if the had become one . Likewise, w en t e nation an e c urc ecome one, the True Parents will have the right to dominate the false parents. We are now fighting for this, and on our way to 1972. By 1972 we will have paved r “ the course. So this is the most tense time in the history of restoration .

This year, 1971, is_the middle year of the seven year course. This year Masteris on his third world tour, which has great significance. He left Korea, came to Japan, then to Canada, and then to America. To come here he had to fight many obstacles, but from now on those difficulties will be

loosened . Ganada is in the position of Eve to America because it is an extension of England, which is in the position of Eve. He wanted to link the victorious foundation which we fought for and acquired in Korea to Japan, Canada, and America. He had to come throu Canada to America, and because Canada is in Eve’s pog_tion, ~ could do that . Because he wanted to link the victonous oundat10n to America, Satan tried to stop it. That’s why there were so many difficulties in his coming. Also, the United States State Department has something on our Master. At this time those conditions had to be broken before you Gould inherit what heaven has restored in Korea-the victorious foundation .

After visiting America, we will go to Germany. It will also be a problem. We will go through England to Germany. If that is successful, the conditions will be broken .

The restoration rovidence is not done without a formula. It must follow the formula strictly. • Now God is asking for the nation which Jesus and the Jewish people should have forme . If orea - is the nation, the north and south must become one. When that happens, that nation becomes an Adam nation.

When Korea was liberated from Japan after the Second World War, it had no government other f ‘llt> than the American military . If the Christian churches had received Master at that time, the world J, restoration could have rapidly progressed as Christianity and Master and America became one. Most of the Christians in Korea had come from America. If they had united with him, then all the Christians in America would have become one with him. There would have been no difficulties in making Korea and America one. At one time, the individual, family, tribe, nation and world could have been /ti ,7-firc;, restored. If that had been the case, the power of Communism would not be as strong as it now is. c (.”W\.~ But because Master was persecuted and rejected by the Christians, he had to move back and restore -/Jr from the individual to the family to the tribe and then to the nation.

In individuals there are Cain and Abel, in families there are Cain and Abel, in tribes there are Cain and Abel, and in nations there are Cain and Abel. So he had to fight to join all these. The world also is divided into Cain and Abel. During the last twenty years Communism has come to take hold of power. In 1950 Red China was accused by the United Nations as an invader, an aggressor of peace. That very nation, twenty years later, not only became a member of the United Nations, but also be- came a member of the Security1 Council. How can such an ironic thing happen? Because the demo- cratic world, the Christian world, rejected our Master, God had to give Satan such power. The past twenty years has seen the struggle between the democratic and Communist worlds. The evil nation, which the whole world branded aggressor, is now stepping up and over the United Nations this year. That means she has the highest power of Satan. That is the inevitable result because the democratic world, the Christian world, persecuted God’s providence. So it had to come .

By killing one man, Jesus, the Jewish people had to suffer for 2,000 years. Countless numbers of people have been slaughtered. During the second World War, 6 million people were slaughtered to ] cleanse all the sins of the Jewish people from the time of Jesus. After that, the Israeli people could have their independence restored in 1948.

Satan has come to the highest position from a position where he was expelled from the United Nations in twenty years. Therefore Qod’s side must also restore the highest position from a positiq__n where it received all the persecutions in twenty years. Red China is a nation in the Orient. Therefore one Oriental nation must fulfill God’s side.

What is our third seven-year course? That is the end of the twenty years. We are now in the middle of the second seven-year course. So this is the time corresponding to Jesus’ fight with Satan, when Jesus, God, and Satan fought for a nation. This nation will be Korea. If Korea is Adam, there must be an Eve country and an archangel country. If the Christians had not rejected the Lord when

he came, then Korea would be the Adam country, England would have become Eve, and America would have been the archangel country. 1’his wouid happen all at the same time. But when the fighting in Korea retreated, the couQtry which shook hands wi ia was En land the Eve country. America now is following ng and, being drawn by the strategy of Soviet Russia. America pulled her forces out of Viet Nam, therefore it lost India to Soviet Russia. Ame,rica has a great responsibility for Asian problems.

For God’s side, Korea is Adam, Japan is Eve, and Free China is the archangel. On Satan’s side, Soviet Russia is the archangel, Red China is Eve, and North Korea stands as an Adam country. They are now confronting each other. AIL the problems of the world are faced here in these countries. Don’t you think it is that way? Soviet Russia, Red China, America and Japan are facing each other there. If they come closer on the outside, inside they’ are still far from each other. Inside Satan’s world and the democratic world there are still many divisio s. As America pulled out from Asia, its distance from Japan increased, as it also did from Korea and Free China. And by the membership of Red China in the United Nations, the relationship between Red China and North Korea, between Red China and Soviet Russia, and between Soviet Russia and North Korea became more distant. Now the heaven~y archangel country is meeting the Satanic Eve country. That is the conference between President Nixon and Mao Tse-tung. If Nixon does something wrong, then America will be hit by Red China, just as the fallen Eve pulled away from Adam and made him fall. By the membership of Red China to the United Nations, the United States has already been hit. So now it cannot go positively; it is just standing still. Then what will happen when Nixon goes to Red China? Master’s not going to give you the conclusion, but if America becomes ope with our Master, then the problem will be enfirely different. It will depend on what you do with the American government. Now he has told you this; he has given you the responsibility. That is how the direction of the world will be decided. The result will be straightened out by our movement. Without our nation we are nothing-it is very miserable. So by the end of the second seven-year course, our church must become one with the nation. Now in Korea a family-seekin vement is oin on for the first time in history . After ~eeking a am1 y you can restore the nation, therefore Satan and God are now fighting to see families. There is a place in Korea called Panmu jom-the only place on earth where Satan and God fight face to face.

To make a nation, the tribe of Jesus and Jesus should have become one, and made all of Judaism one with them. We are restoring this at the present time. Th:is is the crossing-over peak. So this year ~e called more than 1,000 ministers to our church to give them Divine Principle training. The Jews who crucified Jesus still remain on the earth, and still deny Jesus. But during this 20 year course we have to indemnify that. Toward that end we invited the ministers.

We were God’s, but we fell from him . We went out and now we are coming back-we are returning to the position we should have reached without any persecution. So now we have to make all the indemnity conditions to reach that place. And if Master and our Church had prayed to God to cause all the Christians or nations who have persecuted us during this course to perish, this providence couldn’t be established. If you have prayed to God to cause those Christians who have objected to our movement to perish, repent at this moment, and Master will forgive you . Is there anyone who has prayed that?

NOT TOW ARDS THE CHRFSTIANS, BUT TOWARD THE COMMUNISTS .

At this time, that is all right for a certain period . The persecution by the Communists is done for our sake as well. That is to sever us from evil and make us unite. But in the end we have to save even the Communists. We’ll restore Adam and Eve by love and restore the Archan el b the words, because 0 the Archangel made Eve fall throu words. o we save free men with love, and Gommunists with ruth . 80 you canno e defeated by the Communist dialectic. We are fighting the democratic world

with the Divi e Principle, and fighting the Communist world with anti-communist theory . Therefore, these two, the Divine Principle and the anti-communist theo , are the two pillars of restoration. (Mrs. Choi: He thinks you now understand what the time is.)

When Korea becomes the Adam country, then which nation will be the Eve country? Because the democratic, Christian world persecuted our Master, he has to take Eve from the enemies. ~ Therefore Japan, who was an enemy of Korea, and also the enemy of God’s providence, was Ghosen . In the Second World War she stood on Satan’s side. In order to be chosen as Eve, Japan should be situated the same as England-thus they are both island countries. An,~ island always longs for a continent. That is an Eve country. Korea was dominated by Japan for 40 years, but now Master sends his words to Japan, and through Japan he is controlling all the Asian problems. H,e is doing this as he controls the Japanese Unification Church and the IFVC. When the Free China problem was talked about at the United Nations, the Japanese fo eign minister Futuda came to the United States to talk with the government here. He made Japan the co-sponsor country for Free China. That was because Qf our Master. He gave orders for Mr. Kuboki to meet with Mr. Fukuda, Prime Minister and Mrs. Sato, and ex-Prime Minister Kishi, to persuade them to do that. In this secret way he is working with the people of Japan, and with Free China in connection with Chiang Kai-Shek.

Korea, Japan, and Free China have the same fate. The providence expands from Asia to the world. On the Asian level the archangel country is Free China, but the archangel cannot have a nation. Being expelled from the United Nations, Free China is in the position of losing her nation. That means its time has come to the end. Who is to save this archangel country? That must be Eve, because by Eve two fell-Adam and the Archangel. Therefore in the last days the Eve country must restore the Adam country and the archangel country,. So in Asia, by the efforts of Japan, Korea and Free China will be saved or lost. So they are standing as Adam and Eve stood at the time of the fall. That is on the national level. For Eve’s country to stand as Eve, she must receive control from Adam. And the archangel country’ n{‘ust receive control from Eve. Most people understand that the three countri;; are divided. To unite them our Korean Unification Church and the Japanese Unification Church must become one. When the great powers come closer, the inside becomes divided. But the inside of the heavenly countries will be united. Japan now is going after Red China, just as America is doing. We have to prevent this. The Japanese government, all the political parties, and all the people worked for the admittance of Red China to the United Nations. Our Church’s IFVC was the only one to object. From the standpoint of the Japanese people, our movement was insane. But we are severed from evil and are marching forward. We appealed to God to save Free China. That was the seven day fasting by the Japanese melflbers on the street. At the beginning people laughed at our fasting. But day by day they came to think about it. At the end we had many sympathizers.

The nation which should save the Asian archangel nation is the archangel nation of the world. That is why Mr. Kuboki came to America and fasted with our members for Free China at the United Nations. How many members here went to New York for fasting? You did very good work. That was done by the order of our Master. But how many did that willingly, with pleased minds? So in Japan, in spite of opposition, we fu1filled our responsibility for Free China. And we fulfilled our responsibility for Free China in America.

The archangelic cou try originally should have been ope, but now it is divided into three. Free China is the archangel country in Asia, the United States is the archangel country in the demo- cratic world, and Germany is the archangel country on the world scale. So all archangel countries are divided in two. That is: Free China and Red China, America representing the democratic world and Russia representing the Communist world, arid East Germany and West Germany . If Americans cannot fulfill their responsibilities, _their counfu will also be divided in two.

You have the struggle between the black and white . The Communists may come and do their work through the negroes, since U.S. has a good relat~onship with Soviet Russia. Jf Soviet Russia comes into America, it will be very easy for them to form a foundation here. So Master is very serious about this, and finally he thought he must fight in America to save America. The one way left is to rearrange the Christian Churches in America to make them one with our movement. That way we can prevent the struggle between white and Negro and the coming_ of the Communist fo rces in America. Do you think it can be done? You sho 1d not hate these people, even though you are persecuted. You must love them. Thei;e are all kinds of people in America-negroes, whi es and yellows. They are- the descendants of Cain, Abel and Seth. Because of the struggle between Cain, Abel, and Seth, this world became what it is. So these three people must unite to make a peaceful world . But who can make them unite? That can only be done by the Lord of the Second Advent. From that point of view he would like to holtl mass meetings in major American cities, to give a message to them. He feels he..has to do that in several cities this time. It will be good for your country. What do you think about that plan?

Because hethad such a plan, Satan tned to stop him. That’s why there were so many obstacles. He came through Japan, but originally he should have come directly to America. While he was in Japan he did not speak or hold public meetings. If he holds such a public meeting, it will be for~ first time in his life. He will explain the significa~ce of this visit sometime later. He is planning to hold these meetings in at least 7 cities. Three days for each city will be about 21 days. So if you like that and want to do that, mak~ the plan. If you don’!, he will do it himself. This 1s the start of hiL pubiicimnistry. You-should take the responsibility for this plan . There may be objections or persecu- tions. There may also be people who welcome it. The people will be divided into two groups. Use the radio and newspaper. So if you plan tl_!_e_details of the cities and the ~chedule, he will speak. He wilfalso hold meetings ii; Gerin°any and England . So for Satan this is a great event It is a historical event for Master. This is his third world tour, and he.himself must talk this time . He has been waiting for this day. If he could speak good English he could speak directly . It is difficult to convey ideas through an interpreter. The reason he can’t speak English well, !is because he couldn’t study it much when he was in middle school, only about 15 hours a year . That was during the Second World War, whe the Japanese government controlled Korea. Heis studying Engiish now, but it is a difficult language.

In Japan we went through the same formula for restoration. We made our membe!]__S~!lli:t:ate the~elves from others, re,£ejye pers~ on .1md. God ‘s love, and sacrifice for others. When our members fasted in front of the United Nations building, many people may have thought they were crazy. It was that course also in Japan. Now Free China and the Japanese IFVC are one. Free China cannot stand up to any other nation by herself. So our IFVC did that. In Korea, Japan, and Free China we united our spiritual and anti-communist movement. When we have armec!_ the Free Cjiinese people wi.tlk-our~ant”-con:Lmupistjd_e.ology, the Korean government will be forced to do that with the Korean people. The same with Japan . We are working to make Japan and Free China one. The Japanese Unification Church is doing many personal assignments to accomplish this, and directing the economical movement for three years, 1970-1972. I;or Eve’s oountr,y to receive the victorious foundation which was made in Korea, Master mobilized 700 blessed wives and sent them to the rural areas. Through these wives, the Japanese members became one with him spiritually, and Japan can inherit the victo,rious foundation from Korea. In Japan, the blessed wives arej”ollowing the pattern of the Korean blessed wives. -

We are fighting to make Japan and Free China one, The talks between Nixon . - and Mao Tse-tung will oome at the crest of history, the time when it is decide whe er history goes to the heavenly side or to the Satanic side. Kim II-sung wil b.JL6_Q_years _oJ in A.J2!i!.of 1972. 60 is the completion number of Satan. So for Kim II-sung this is a\so the crest. Whether Nort Korea will invade South Korea will also be decided . The North Korean Communist party and the peoQle are strongly: united

around Kim II-sung. Therefore, if we are to stop their invasion of South Korea, our members and our blessed couples must be united with Master even more strongly. If our side is united and surpasses Satan’s side, they cannot invade. Korean members are now dedicating themselves, and praying a special prayer to prevent that. So whether you American members are united with our Master more strongly than the Communists are united with Kim II-sung is the problem. With our members united Il)Ore strQQgly th,m the Satan-centered people, God’s side can overcome the Communist nation. We don’t have a nation. Wfrhout that nation, we are always open to attack from the Satanic sovereignties. If we restore a nation, we can quickly restore the whole world through the embassies in all countries. If our embassy and the Unification Church become one, the Abel group or Abel bloc is formed in our country. So restoration of the world will not take too many years. Therefore, the most important thing is to be united with our Master.

Last year we had a wedding of 777 couples in Korea, with members coming from 10 nations. That was to prepare for this third world tour. It was also to connect those countries with the founda- tion made in Korea, to extend the foundation horizontally to other nations. Therefore, those who participated had to come to Korea. As he (Master) has already explained, the restoration providence is not carried on without principle. What should the blessed cour, es all over the world do? Do they have enough confidence to move according to Master’s word? It will be difficult to follow h~ rds. He will drive y_ou out. You will have to follow the formula. For all of you there is a seven-year ~uf course. It is not carried iny ourliome; it must be carried out in the position of representing the world. Will it be carried out in America? It must be carried out in the hardest situations. It is not a task for all families, but for some of the blessed collI)les. These families will become historical f~~- Thereas~ som; of you must got h~ough such’ 7 “ ~is explain~d t~~her ~lies. For that, we must drive the women out. How would you like to see that?

Was there ever a time when your family took responsibility for the salvation of the world? But now God’s and Satan’s sides are in a level position If one family participates in God’s side, then the scale will go to God’s side. It is such a serious time. We have to save the world . By 1974 we have to send missio aries_to-120 untries. That must be done To prepare for that he made l 20 holy grounds. We have to fulfill them during the second seven-year course. And who will be sent to those countries? If we send blessed couples, there will be less persecution. Therefore, he thinks he shou¼} send blessed couples rather than other members. But if he carr’t find blessed couples, he will select one who has a special relationship with that country, having a father, mother, or grandparents born in that country. So if these genetations have lood relationships he will send the111..

In the thirg seven-year course we should work throughout the world on the basis Qf th ose 1_20 ~ n~ . So we have to prepare for the third seven-year course during this second seven-year course. He is now planning to organize <!,.~ .d-w· e r..evni:aLteam. It will be composed of members from seven nations-Japan, Korea, Chin,a, America, Germany, England, and France. For that we have to have a financial foundation . He thinks we will have to continue that world-wide revival movement for at least seven years, and seven million dollars will be needed for that. Our Unification Church in 1980 will be a different dimension than in 197 0. It will not have - — such small groups. All the Christians !!!_ the world are destined to be absorbea by our movement. This is the time for the .1.2.filL.s. We have .

to prepare to take off.

The responsibility for the restoratiq_n of the whole world is laid on our shoulders. We have to accomplish it. Jf ot _we will have !Q__g.~,..QlllpJish it wh~n _we g to piri.t odd. And how will we be able to do that? All our American male members should think of themselves with thee mission of Jesus; they have to save their own tribe . All the women shguld thi11k of themselves as the brides of Jesus, who also have the mission to save th eir tribes. Originally, when we received blessings, we should bring ourtribes witli us. After that we are entitled to receive the blessing. In the world, when a wedding takes place, all the relatives come to congratulate the couple. Our weddings must be done in a more creative way, in a better atmosphere with more friends and more relatives. -9 -

This period of time cannot exist again. This period of providence comes only once in history, no more. There will be no other time x ou can receive directions directly from our Master, and work with his heart. There has never been such an opportunity. If Master is the one who assumes the responsibility for restoration of the whole world, all your ancesto,rs must concentrate their attention on him . Also, you are selected to represent your tribes, so your ancestors will be attracted to you. Your conduct and your fulfillment of your mission affect s the fate of your ancestors-living and dead- and x.om deSQ.endants too. So if you do not go the way of our Master-if you go against’his instruc- tions-all your ancestors, your relatives, and your descendants will accuse you. When you think of that, you realize how serious a position you are in. You have to be more serious than any ancestor and superior to any minister or Christians who are living in the world . You have to make traditions which your descendants will long to follow . So remember, this is a fearful position. If we do not fulfill our mission, then just as we accuse Adam and Eve, our descei;idants, relatives, and ancestors will accuse us. Master doesn’t know how long he will live on earth. But if this time passes by, there will be no such period of time again. If you know that you cannot waste time, you cannot think of other things at this moment. We have to be serious about this. Jesus was this serious when he went to Gethsemane with his disciples to pray. We have to be momserious than Jesus . Jesus decided to bear the cross. This is the period for us to decide to bear the cross. Also, if we go to spirit world without fulfilling the standard which Master has asked of us,~do you think we wili be able to see him ~ And spirit world is eternal. Lif on earth is short, but during that short period of time, what you do decides your position in spirit world. The martyred Christians live in spirit world. They are ’ looking at us and thinking if they were born in the world at this time, they would do all Master asks. Therefore they will accuse you when you go to spirit world. Master knows all these things very well, therefore he cannot think of himself. So he has that kind of life. His ability or divinity does not 0 matter. Friends, relatives, or parents are not important. Abraham was willing to offer his loving son as a sacrifice. Master has to give more than that. When he receives God’s order, he thinks there is S 1¥- nothing he c.(nnot do. If he were asked to offei”his parents and his children as a sacrifice on the altar “ he would be willing. Withthat mind he is doing his work. So for him, he can throw away his parents, ~ ~, throw away his wife and children. It is the same at the present time, and it will be the same in the y\<’:.”e,”-”’~<l””” future . That is the course of our Master. If you are a devoted follower, you will inherit these thoughts (,rv”} ~ ) from him. If you are the true children, you have to inh,erit such thoughts to save the world and realize ,-v--,,”1-?~ God’s will on earth. To save man, Master didn’t want to be inferior to anyone on earth. He never thought of being defeated by anyone. \,JL 1<, , ,,-,-~ wJL 0 \ P-- God always works with us. How serious we are decides the results. Miracles occur, even in this center, as they occur ed in the old days. As the Divine Principle teaches us, when subject and oqject become one through give and take, multi lication takes lace. That give…and take must reach ape in his lifetime. at period is this seven-year course. It will be extended to the second seven- y ear course , and the t\)ird seven-year course. So you must remember that this is the most important period of time. This is the time to love the nation and the world m@_e than your husband or wife. If during this time you love each other more than the world , and neglect the world , when you go to spirit world you will not be able to put up your face. An,d when you go to spirit world, you cannot ’ but go to his place to see him . When he sees you he has to face you according ta the prin cj:R_~- He will be able to ell if you are fit for the principle. So this is the period to devote yourself whole- heartedly . Therefore, during this period, “.’,’.hen we have meetings or programs, you should attend ~first before anything else. This will be the only opportunity for you to work for the United States and for the world. In the future when he has plans, he will let you participate in them.

The formula which he explained before applies to you. You have to remember that. So when your family stops persecuting you and becomes one with you, then you must become one with other families who have persecuted you . That way you can go through the fonm1~ To conclude, you have to shed your tears. They must be teai:::s of hope . You have to shed tears, thinking of this providence, tears of gratitude, when you think of how hard God and all the saints and all the Christians -10-

worked to save us. How wonderful it is that you have came out of this world, and that you could come to the position where you could receive God’s love. Have you shed tears, thinking of God’s heart, consoling him to save the fallen Adam and Eve, and the fallen brother and sister? God is weeping for those who are fallen and in the dominion of Satan. Fallen people go to hell if they die without knowing these things. They will die eternally. When your pa:i;,e nts and your friends are sick, e 1) p 1 you have to carry them, to do everything you can to cure them. But that death is physical. This ~crnJv-c,.. death is an eternal one, which cannot be compared with the physical one . So when we see other people we have to have that kind of heart, feeling for them. We can ot give our true love and become the true highest son until we devote our lives. To reach the highest point we have to give our lives. Which is more valuable- a man who worked for his nation for 20-30 years, or another man who worked for one year, but gave his life for that nation? The one who lost hisJife stands in a higher position than the one who did not lose his life. And the more miserable way in which he died, with his arms or legs cut, the higher positi~ he will reach. That is the reason Jesus said, he who wants to lose his life will gain it. When he gave his.life, he gave also the life of God, the life of Jesus, the glory of God, the glory of Jesus, and the glory of that nation. So he gave not only his life but all these other things. The way of Jesus’ followers, therefore, was to devote everything they had, including their lives. Of the three Asian countries Korea, Japan, and Free China, the country which undergoes the most difficulties, the hardest ways, and the most sacrifice will be the leading country in the future. So if America is put under such hardships, it is to bless America more than other countries. If you go that way by yourselves without receiving the direction from Master, then you will receive eternal blessings from him.

If between now and April is so significant, what can we do to influence the meeting between Nixon _- and Mao Tse-tung?

Pray. He has been praying for .this for three years.

What is happening in the Middle East now, in Israel and Egypt?

If the Jewish people had not crucified Jesus, then Israel would have been united with the Arab countries. But by crucifying him, they have to restore this path by aving the Arab countries as their enemies, and go on fighting. The problems of Israel, will be solved when they are united with our movement. We are the third Israel. The first Israel isithe Jewish people, the second is the Christians, and we are the third. Therefore the first Israel, the second Israel, and the third Israel must be united. fn the history of Israel and Korea there are many resemblances. That is because the third Adam must restore what the first Adam and the second Adam could not do. Likewise the third Israel must restore the second Israel and the first Israel. After we restore the Christians, the restoration of the first Israel will come.

I prayed two angry prayers. I ask your forgiveness.

!:’_orgive yourself in your heart. Master often hears the voices of Korean ministers, praying to God after they have been killed or die. S~metimes tie listens to spirH world just like he was listening to a radio . When he listens to those prayers, he feels he has to pray for them. Now he’s going to explain ~we can’t go over the road without loving our enemies. It is not written in the Divine Principle V book, but it is very important to know . If Satan accuses God, that archangel isn’t part of God’s creation, but God, because He is God, must observe the laws which He established, even though the archangel fell. God is absolute. Therefore He must relate to what he made according to whatever laws or regulations He set up, even after the archangel fell. That means that whatever God should do to the archangel, he must do it after the fall as well. So the archangel says to God, “God, you are

supposed to love me to the stage of perfection, and even after perfection.” The archangel received God’s love until the time of the growth stage. But he couldn’t receive love after that. “Even though I became Satan, you have to lo e me.” That is what the archangel accuses. So until God fulfills what He must do, the archangel cannot go back to the trinity. That is the archangel’s exis~ “Not only God, Himself, but hls son Adarr;and da ghter Eve also must love me to the perfection stage. That is the law.” So if you are driving the archangel away, first you must fulfill your responsibilities. “Until that tcime you cannot drive me out.” So God wants to make the condition where God and His son love the archangel the full amount. That was fulfilled at the time of Jesus. When Satan tried to Kill Jesus, God couldn’t hate Satan. He had to come to a position where he loved the archangel more than his SO..!!,: Jesus was killed by Satan, but he loved Satan, so he prayed for Satan. By God’s loving and Jesus’ prayer of blessing for his enemies, Father and Son could fulfill their responsible part of loving the archangel. So from that point on, the Satanic world and God’s world were divided. From this principle, if we have a mind to love our enemies, we can stand on God’s side. If not, we stand on Satan’s side. In our time, we must not only Jove our enemies but also restore them . That is our responsibility . Because of this Jesus taught us to love our enemies.
