[On Wednesday at noon Father came up to the Seminary vlth flve apecial guests from Korea, it was• surprise to everyone. The rumor spread quickly that he vaa coming to go fishing.)
Father’s Dining Room - (Translator, Mr. Peter Kim)
[Father told Peter Kim to· introduce the gµests to everyone)
This lady is Kr• • Olt, Se Byun, she is 92 years old. (clapping) She was the first member to join Father in Pyungyang, North ’ Korea around 1946. Mrs. Ok had received a revelation that the Second Messiah would come in the physical body. So she came to Father when he was in North Korea from Pyung Chana Li vilage. After Father vas put in’ prison she always visited him and brought food and clothing to him.
Mrs. Ohk’s family were all Presbyterian elders of the most famous church in North Korea. When she found Father she did not diplomatically start visiting to hear him, she just left everything and came straight to Father; no indecision. Because of this kind of direct faith she caused a “big persecution” - the Christian churches in the area started accusing Father and when she would not return home then they treated her as if she were a “crazy woman.”
These are Father’s two cousins; they and Father both have the same grandfather. The first is Mr. Moon, Yong ~i, he is called Elder Moon. The second is Kr. Moon, Yong Byun. He is with Tong 11 Co. he’s the younger cousin and his son is blessed with Mr. Kamiyama’s daughter.
Elder Moon has lots of stories about Father’s childhood, but we have no time to hear them, I’m sorry. But he’s a good singer. [Every- one claps for him to sing a song. Elder Moon stands up and sings: “Young Byun Ga.” He sings in the old style Korean folksong style.]
[Then Father asks for the student with the best voice to stand up and sing - everyone calla for senior student Jane Pridgeon - she sings an old English folksong. Then Father calls for a brother to sing; senior student Andre Jenkins is picked - he steps forward and sings a song that he had composed when he was on the MFT: “Father’s Hope is Our Canaan’s Promised Land.” Father calla for another song - Mariel Pearlman is brought in next to Father - she sings “Sun Myung Moon” in French. Father remarked that he had heard that song in Paris and that it was composed by a UTS graduate. A Junior student, who is from mainland China Hong Yu Kovic, was asked to sing; she wanted to sing “Sarang Hae,” but Father wanted her to sing a song in Chinese. She hc1d a difficult time to remember but finally she sang “Chen Chin” (Harch Forward). Finally, Junior stu- dent Moon Sook Yoon sang a song in Korean.)
(Then Father said that he has a busy schedule and cannot speak ·:;..--…___ lohg - that they must eat and go. But then he asked if a senior student had a question? Several students raised their hands but Father picked Will Peat. Question1 “What does Father expect of the UTS graduates when we leave ~he Seminary?!’_)
(Father 1peak1 in !ngll1hJ Tou are repre1entative1 of Cod’• provi• dence of re1toration. ‘nle critical difference betveen the Old Te1tament and the Rev Te1tament and the Dlvine Principle life 11 that the Bible 1hov1 the hi1tory or all record• of ‘’failure•” (prolongation of the provi• dence). But Father’• li(e l1 • record of 1ucces1. This vas to indemnify all the failures from the past. So Father has been fighting to achiev~ the victory. A real foundation ii needed, a real Cod’s.family. You have to think that, “I (you 1tudents) am representing Adam’s family.”
So Father made that kind of victory. Why? In a way our Divine Principle h like a big “sign of victory,” showing everybody what we have done. So you have to read Divine Principb? so that you know these things. You have to think, “1 have to live, not a victorious life, but the “life of a victor.” To live a repentful life; that kind of serious historical life and work, Look how much (very) serious Father was in the family, tribe, nation, and world indemnity course - eight steps. So you must be really smart, reading so many theological •books.(laughter)
Satan is always attacking and trying to control people - it’s an historical problem to get Satan to ‘bow down.” That means that many Christians (although they don’t know it) belong to Satan. How can you make an indemnity condition when all the time Satan is attacking?
But all the time Father welcomes the younger generation; they always say “monsei.” All they do is follow Father, but they don’t make any conditions of indemnity. Do you believe lOOt in Father? (Yes!) Father paved the way for all of heaven - Satan cannot i~vade Did you know all of this? (No) That’s “bad” - Satan understands the Principle more than you do. How about all of you UTS students, do you know this? (Sorry, Father) I don’t vant to hear “sorry” - all the time people say “sorry.” You have to find out for yourselves. (Yes! We’ll go anywhere, Father) I don’t think so … (Yes!)
Satan is in the archangel position, and God is the “subject” and Father is in the Adam position. That was Satan’s foundation: the heavenly world and the physical world, but Satan does not like Father’s providence. How can Cod relate to you? Only in heart. But which is the real way? Which is the closest to Cod’s vay, believing or knowing? (Knowing?) Yes - knowing and action! Believing the Principle, knowing the Princi- ple - you don’t need these (Father slaps the table) you need action!
If you march on - go on - Satan cannot get in there - Cod is be- hind you. It takes more than blood and tears. Every time Father says, “Go out and fight, then you don’t need prayer, you need action. How much are you making that kind of record? Do you understand? (Yes). UTS is now appealing to many outside theologians. After you graduate it must be clear what you are to do. Father doesn’t have time for the Unification Church to get to ~ork - he must make a record all over the world. The same with UTS graduates; the most “failure” is from high positions. If you are in a “lower position” then you can “turn around” and rise up,
The Christian Church {Christianity) has no hope - no hope - is that true? (true) The American people, if they do not listen tom~, then the United States will crumble down. The only hope is the Unifi-
cation Church! (Teal) I don’t believe itl (It’• the only vay, Father) We’re vorking, not for iorea, not for the United State, but (ultimately) for Codi Who can bring victory? Not Cod • it hu to be the “fa11f.ly” re1tored man, V011l4D 1 and children. You don’t knov (underatand) “Adam’•” position • it’• not easy. ;
The important thing is East and West, not North and South· vho can vin over “Satan’• field”? (territory) Father made (founded) UTS in the United State,. He didn’t make it in Korea. Why? Korea 11 too small a country. Thia nation of America ia mainly Christian· you need to teach Divine Principle• to turn around this country. You don’t use the power you have· you don’t know it - the Principle is a good source. If you can’t use that power that’s your problem.
People have fallen blood lineage; they have that kind of circu- lation of Satan’• blood. You must break out of it. Vhere ,can you get that kind of experience? Here - do you understand? (Yes!) Recently, Father opened his mouth and gave you (UTS students) a scolding. (sigh) It’s a serious question - a very serious problem for Father. No matter hov much they persecute Father, don’t worry about it. Father’s whole life has been that serious. How do you like that serious point? (Good) American people don’t like that kind of serious things! (We do!)
So where is hope for the world? (True Parents) Do you have hope for the world? (We dot) Does “we do” mean “l do”? There is 10 much individual culture in America (do your own thing). America is like a “pirate ship” - everything is “me, me, me ••• “ or “l, my, me .• “ (laughter) ----------, la it true in England also? (Father looks at David Fraser-Harris - “Yes, it’s true!) So the more public way is the best - together. The problem is the individual vay. It’• been that “individual way” all through history, not the power of people working together. It’ a not, “I, my, me” - it’s “together” - from that way (unity) a new world will come. You think about it - “I, my, me! I” - Satan loves that kind of culture. It sounds good, but you cannot accept that.
God has been waiting for the “family, tribe, nation, and world unity” - it only takes one time. What counts is how serious you are in finding out the Divine Principle contents. You have to have that kind of experience. You have to have that kind of heart and feeling to know what’s going on outside. You have to know, “ … how much will this condition continue?” You have to know - to do it yourself. Do you understand? (Yes)
[Father continues the discussion about the torture, beating and execution in Korea in early days) Are you thinking, “Oh, Father is too serious . talking about “execution”? But it’s that kind of feeling; your eyes have to know that, your mouth and ears have to know that kind of situation. Who caused th:it kind of “execution” situation? Satan. He cannot “hang” Father.
How can this relate to my deepest heart? To know that the rela- tionship between God and man was lost. What is Satan’s secret? This ,,,--… _ is it - Father found out. So Father wants to tear down this “indivi- dual” wall that surrounds everything. It’s a difficult situation. Only
Cod (and archangel) knev the foundation 1tage clearly• then Patber di•· covered it. It’• been a bi1torlcal 1ecret - do you under1tand • thi1 proc laut ion.
The CIA and KGB all hate me - they’re alvays lletening to “rumors” of Rev. Hoon. Father sponsored the Media Conferences - nov Gorbachev ; wants to have a Media Conference (Father) in the USSR. (Father 1miles) True? (Great) What? (Great!) Father has been speaking a long, long time, forgetting all about lunch. Do you vant to go and eat or atay? (Stay!)
Think about it, in the future the vorld \deology will be oura. Take the fallen vorld at the time of Adam and Eve and the archangel, it is compared to today. America cannot solve the proble~ of the break- down of families and (immoral) love in today’s situation. But our Church can do it • change the blood lineage - our power is “unified power”! Someone did it - we have it! We have many “not the same color” (inter- racial) marriages, blessed couples. After the blessing they are separ- ated for a while, but the “harvest time” is coming.
[Father discussed World War 11 and the nations that were on the Abel (God’s) side and the Cain (Satan’s) sidei America, England and France• Abel. Germany, Japan and Italy• Cain.)
Father discovered the pattern, but Satan knew about this ahead of time. Rome was to take Cod’s position - they did not know - God blessed the Pope for the sake of the world (not just the Roman Church). So you have to save the world from God’s viewpoint. The Roman Church believed they were blessed, they were so “high” and they were saved.” No - God wants to save the world! It’s the persecution course that will save the world.
At last came the American forefathers and the pilgrims - they wanted “one nation under Cod.” This was a Protestant country - the na- tion of the United States - we have to save it so we can save the world. America has an independent concept; to become a modern race. The United States is a big country; there are many resources everywhere.
So when Father came back to Korea from his US mission here he found the Catholic and Protestant churches were fighting; they were con- trolling everything. Whenever anything is divided between “Cain and Abel” it means that Satan is fighting. America couldn’t do it (during the Korean War) make Korea an independent country. Then with9ut Korea centering on Father, and without the Christians and through Ewha Uni- versity Father lost everything.
For the last 2000 years the Christian culture (Christianity) has ruled. But after World War II - wasn’t that strange? If the victorious nations after WW 11 had united with “one Adam” then God would have won. But instead everything was “lost.” Then Father had to go to North Korea (June 6, 1946 • “666”) otherwise Father cannot start the new providence. So he went into the “communist camp” - if there was one rumor about you th~y slit your throat.
Now in Korea vhen Father comes to the “Church” and opens the door, he sees the corridor filled vith people to make “morning greeting.”
-s- So Father hat finally ude a 1ucce11ful foundation. Who lo1t everythlna after W 11 • l.orea and AMrlca. It v11 lo1t, but vho re1tored it ae. W’hyT Satan tried to accu1e ae, “Bov can you choo1e Aaerlcat If a nation lo1e1 it’• original foundation then hov can it be uaed again in Cod’ • providence?” (DP) “If the father lo1e1 lt then it’• up to the child to find it.” All those nation• that in the war were on Cod’s side: England, France and America • vent agdnat ~ peraon who vu for. Cod.
But “Abel” completely follova Father - that le Father’ a “family.” Then came the “Bleuing”, 36, 72, ••• 430, etc. Like Jacob’s family 12 children, the formation, grovth and perfection stagea centering on Father. All this became equa 1 to “Jeaua’ reau~rection” time. So Cod’ a aide made the family foundation. It vaa not simple or easy. It means that the original ancestor lineage that vu lost and aga~n with the “Cain and Abel” situations in the Old Testament vhich were lost every time and they could not restore. They vere restored in the “36, 72, etc. couples. The “Israelites came out in 8 stages”· then Father blessed 777 couples in 1970. At Jesus’ time he could not be a “tribal” Messiah. Jesus’s tribe (Joseph and Mary) and John the Baptist’s tribe (Zechariah and Elizabeth) should have “married Jesus” (found his bride). This was the tradition of the Jewish churches, to have tribes. But the “Roman Empire” took Jesus” flesh, so that meant much persecution • in Rome and Milan. So today the Roman Empire cannot accomplish the mission; unlike England the sun does set on the Roman Empire) Their blessing (God’s anointing of the Popes) was for the vorld, but they did not know that. They became a “thief” stealing everything.
South America (Latin) was developed by the Roman Catholic culture (Cain side) and North America became Protestant culture (Abel side). Nov in Latin America there ia a “third world” situation. Now where the Roman Catholic church has controlled the religion and the people it is going down.
Who will save this “archangel” nation? Only Father. Why? If America is lost then the entire “formation. grovth, and perfection stages” in the spiritual world vill be lost. I vill take responsibility for this American culture. Some American members say, ‘’Why is America the ‘archangel’ country •••• why?? • they complain, “Why is Japan the ‘Eve’ country ••• wby?? But is it clear to you why? (Yes) I told Heavenly Father I will also take responsibility to save Korea. (Japan doesn’t have a Christian culture background).
Look what Satan did during WW II, in Germany where they had the Jewish culture, 6 million Jevs Satan wiped out. Look at during that time all the countries that were enemies: Korea/Japan, Japan/America, Germany/America. After WW II then Korea was lost for God, so now Father must save Korea.
Some Americans have said, “We don’t need any Korean leaders, we don’t need any Japanese (they caused Pearl Barbor) - many complaints. But these people did not come to America for themselves - they came for Cod and Father too, but Father was “cast out.” Father has made a strong foundation in this nation. The US vanted to “kick him out” - they said
.he vaa a “•PY•” But Father h11 aade aany organization, in the US• the aobUe tuk force (KFT) • aaklng a “big nohe” - 1tirring everything up· like a fire. ?bey vere accu1ing Rev, Koon of avalloving up ~rlca’1 youth· brainvaahing, What irony. [Father apoke about hla ‘victory’ in high level,· the Kedia Conference· ‘Perestroika: etc.) ~
America sent Father to prison - vhen Father was in Danbury he sent out 300,000 tapes and book• of our ideology. He bought big trucks and aent out mobile buses. Rev. Moon vas making “more noise” so he vaa a “bad guy” • but many nov add he vaa a “good guy.” (clapping) American veteran• took the CAUSA course and nov have hope· before they said that there was no way that thia nation of America can be saved. I So at this time Father 1a sending out “tribal messiah” leaders - especially UTS graduates. Father has been accused in the media of “bribery” in trying to vln America for Cod. So do you. understand the long history since WW 111 (Yu) The media has accused Father, “You say you are the most famous American patriot, but you are Korean!” But I say “No· I have a green card!’’ (clapping) How many world messiahs are there? (One) How many tribal messiahs? (Many) In the past Father has said we will reach “perfection”· is it happening? (Yes!)
“True love” is a concept that is completely outside the law of the immorality of this nation. The true love concept is very pure you know it - standing on that foundation can you do it? The immorality in this world ls horrible - Cod doesn’t make it that way - only Satan does that. There is “free sex” love, dirty disco dancing, women with so much make-up are like “witches.”
[Peter Kim askss “Does Father speak good English’’? Everyone claps - yes - very good! Father smiles.] How much inconvenience it is to have so many languages. In the future there should b e ~ language - there should be only one religious book, in one language, not many. If you are in the Unifuation Church you must “go over” the language barrier. What language should there be? {True Parents’ language) Of course - the language of the original root of true love from the restored “Adam and Eve”· the original ancestors. You have to learn to speak the “original” language. Thia will be the ideal world, centering on one culture, one language. Western people cannot understand this - but “catching it” means to learn a nev language fast.
So after WW II Father made all the restoration. Christian and Western countries don’t understand that the “communist world” is “Satan.” But they will finally be restored, last. Stalin was Satan’s “Second Advent” figure; he died in 1953. It was then Father started a new provi- dence. In 1988 we will have the “second generation” who will be champions for the world. Cod is working - who is making the universal restoration? It is the “changing lineage”· changing the trunk and engrafting into True Parents’ root - cutting away Satan’s branches. Where do you belong? (True Parents’ lineage) Where? (root lineage)
As ‘’tribal messiahs” in this country you should be welcomed. (centering on Rev. Moon) With the 20,000 blessed couples the Old Testa- ment messiahship vas completed.· Do you need tribal messiahs? (Yea!)
Tribal • tu iah1 mean• “True Parent•’ concept” uking you “Ada11” 1 tudent1. Do you vant to becOtH tribal me11iah1? (Teel) Why? So you can inherit everything - love power• participating in everything! How valuable ve are - with “fut way action”! Making the fast vay has pover! (cl,apping).
