God's Will Is for Humanity to Become One

True Father’s farewell message before he entered prison in Danbury, Connecticut (U.S.) July 20, 1984

It is God’s Will that everything be brought into oneness. Had the Fall not occurred, our mind

and body would have become one.

The mind and body of man would have united and the mind and body of woman would have

united. Had this happened, the unification of these two beings of harmonized mind and body as

a couple would have engendered a world of unity. When we look at today’s world, we can see

that it is not a united world. What does the world of today reflect? It is meant to be a magnified

expression of man and woman.

Can you say that your mind and body have been united throughout your life? Whether this

question is posed to a man or a woman, I do not think that anyone can answer affirmatively. We

can reach the overall conclusion that this world is not the outcome God desired. This is why we

say it is a fallen world. Thus, since there is not a single person whose mind and body are united,

the conclusion is that we have no unified families, tribes, peoples, nations, world or cosmos

(heaven and earth).

Therefore, we can see that if one person succeeds in uniting his mind and body, God will seek to

manifest Himself as God to that one person.

This is how we think. Thus, if two such people become one, it is clear that God will manifest

Himself as subject partner to this couple. And if this couple forms a tribe, God will manifest

Himself in this tribe once it achieves oneness. Thus, thinking this way leads to the understanding

that even though there are hundreds of millions of people in the world, the Almighty God wishes

to manifest Himself before each of them as their subject partner.

Then what is the path I am taking and what is the work I am carrying on? This is the issue. The

ultimate goal is to find the path to the oneness of all humanity. This is the path the sons and

daughters that stand in the position of God’s beloved children must take. Had human beings not

fallen, who would have been responsible for the unity of human beings? It would not have been

God; human beings should have achieved oneness and lived a life of attendance to God. We must

understand this point. Had this been achieved, it would have become the starting point of unity

and would have brought together all the hundreds of millions of people.

However, due to the Fall, all of this was destroyed and human history after the Fall became the

history of recreation and, at the same time, the history of restoration. Accordingly, God’s

position became one of seeking and hoping for someone to redress this outcome all the way to

the global level.

Jesus was alone when he carried the cross. He bore the cross by himself. As a result of Jesus’

crucifixion, God lost Judaism. Christianity, the new ideal religion that would have formed had it

not been for the crucifixion, was lost, rome was lost and the world was lost. Then on what

position is rev. Moon standing today? What work is Rev. Moon doing? Because I knew what

work God desired…What is the Unification Church doing today? You need to clearly

understand this. Your fathers and mothers are trying to separate you from rev. Moon; you face

opposition in all corners. Judaism seeks to separate you; Christianity and the Communist party

also. Nonetheless, you are saying that you will not be pulled away.

My philosophy is to choose and follow the path that leads to the realization of God’s hope of

bringing together the four billion people of the world.

After hearing the Supreme Court’s verdict, you may be asking, “God, what next do you have in

store for us?” After the Supreme Court’s verdict, however, Christianity returned to the side of the

Unification Church. What kind of great blessings do you think await us through my going to

prison after this legal battle? Humanity will take our side. Henceforth, on the path that I take,

united families not seen in the fallen world are following me, united tribes are following me,

united countries are following me and a united world is following me. This is why when I

overcome this hill, a united group of people from all over the world will be waiting for me.

Therefore, I believe that the path I am taking is the path of hope. I am setting out on a path of

hope and joy.

This is why all of you who are gathered here must gather and make unity with all the different

people of the world, and then follow me. Blessed couples must make oneness with their families

and follow me. Leaders of tribes and nations must be united with their tribes and nations and

follow me. All the members of the Unification Church worldwide must unite and follow me. I

know that because of this day, the Unification Church tradition, which is capable of bringing

unity, is connecting the True Parents with their sons and daughters, with the existing churches,

with the United States, and with the world.

On this day, as I set out on my assigned path, I do not want you to send me away with tears. I

welcome your tears if the tears you shed spring from the thought of fighting ten times, a hundred

times more than I have for the sake of this nation and this world. If your hearts are sad and

grieving, please become pillars of the Unification movement who, when I am released, will come

to see me, having united thousands and tens of thousands of people. Please do not forget that

God is staking this moment in the hope that you will accomplish this.

With the belief that you, our Unification Church members whom I leave behind, will make

oneness with Christianity and the world, I am going to prison with the aim to bring the people

there, who are not united, into one. Since that is also our territory, please know that I am going

there to ignite a movement that will newly bring all those living there together. Therefore, all of

you who are remaining outside must unite completely. If you do not unite, we will not be able to

further the movement to open the gates of hell and liberate hell. This is why to open those gates,

you who are remaining outside [of prison] need to first unite. That place is also our territory.

The number of people listening to me in East Garden today may be small but you must know

that there are many outside people, people that believe in God, who have been shedding tears,

without your knowledge, because of this day. Why am I trying to accomplish on a global scale

what no one else has been able to accomplish? I have fought until now waiting for the day when

the world can welcome the blessing of becoming a new world. From now, when I cry out, all

those with conscientious hearts will spring forth and engage in a unifying movement that will

spread like wildfire. There can be no despair before the path that leads to greater unity. There can

only be glory and prosperity. You must know this. Please have this resolve and reach out to

everyone around you, investing with the heart, “Staying outside [of prison], I will build a bridge

to reach across to the realm that possesses the good fortune of unity on a global level, and play

the role of the concrete that cements things together.”

Look at the world. We have our Unification Church, we have Christianity, we have so many

friends and colleagues around the world. You must be more confident. Until yesterday, people

laughed at you and called you Moonies. Do they do that even now? You know who the great

Moonie leader is. Take pride in being a Moonie. Therefore, we must stand up anew. This is the

right time. We have no time to grieve. We have no time to cry and no time to despair. We only

have time to move forward for hope. We may be distressed tonight but we only know of

advancement. Why? To liberate God. From that moment, the era when God can freely oversee

the world will come. I sought out this path because I knew that from the moment God becomes

free, the kingdom of heaven on earth will be realized from there. You and I share the homework

of uniting the world and I entrust this task to you. As for me, I am going there to open the gates

of hell. “We will bring about unity! We will realize unity!” This is our homework. We shall move

forward for this purpose. All of you who desire this, please stand up. We shall move forward

toward that purpose.
