Turning Ceremony of the Offering - 36th Day of All Things

1998-05-26 · Source: tparents.org

Today is the 36th true day of all things. The time for restoration has come. We need this word because of the fall, the misuse of love, which created the false family, tribe, nation and world, created the kingdom of hell. History started with the worst parents. They gave birth to the worst individual, family, nation. The nation is evil as well. Since God could not interfere, He cannot halt the development of the worst nation, world and cosmos. God cannot interfere when it belongs to Satan. The world includes spirit world and physical world. Hell on earth and in heaven. Caused by false love. This entire world has nothing to do with God. He is confined to His throne. How can God clean this up?

Satan could not love Adam and Eve with absolute faith, love and obedience. So they became the worst parents. So God must see the True Parents come and love the worst one, even Satan. God created all things for love and joy, but it all was lost because of Satan. So the providence of restoration has come, leading to the chosen people. The chosen people should love the satanic world more than anyone else does. The satanic world focuses on obtained sovereignty. Satan divides, but God wants to have unity. Because of this, God established religions and they should have as their goal beyond the national level. But Buddhism, Islam, and even Christianity in America, are confined to the national level.

Israel expected that the Messiah would lead them to conquer Rome and attain power. But that was wrong. They should have prepared to sacrifice for the world and Rome. They should have had the absolute concept to build one world under God. Then the lower levels would be taken care of. Israel followed Moses’ teaching, and it was on the chosen nation under God level. They should have gone beyond that and succeeded, but they didn’t. The messiah is the one to teach how to go to He has the one world under God concept.

But Israel looked down on Jesus. They judged him and ignored him. He had no schooling. Jesus came there not to repeat Moses, but to teach one world under God. But Israel wanted him to teach on one nation under God. As a result, Jesus lost his body. So Christianity has no nation.

Father has three courses, beginning in Adam’s family and connected to Eve too. John 3:16 says that God so loved the world. Every Christian memorizes this. There is no denominational concept. This is world completion, not nation, tribe or family. But all of these are contained in the world. Each can connect to the world. So Reverend Moon came to America to deny all the concepts and bring one world under God.

For children there is no concept except parents. Even if they are bad people, parents love their children. Create the family, tribe and nation of numerous proud children. This is the parents’ concept. This is from

God. The mother will not make a mistake as she leads this way. The family will follow one line. God’s love is direct and straight; Satan’s love is twisting.

Who is God? God is my friend. God is your father, elder brother, king, and creator. Then we become creators. How much proud!

The ideal world comes through the blessing. True Parents are bequeathing the heavenly tradition. Go through the gate and fulfill all the conditions True Parents give to us. It is like driving on a highway with no roadblocks. You can go where True Parents go.

Today is the Day of All Things. Those who have any possessions, show your hand. Are these possessions yours? [No.] We think it is ours, but we are wrong. We think that our spouse or children are ours, but that is wrong. Only after the fall did we receive these things. But behind the scenes, God has been working for thousands of years to change this. So we have to deny all things from Satan’s world. When God wants all things, He cannot force it, so there will divide God’s side and Satan’s side. The offering was the condition to determine which side belonged to God and which to Satan. In Old Testament we saw this. When God’s side went over half of the total, He could send His champion for that era.

The Old Testament means through sacrificing all things, the offering determines ownership, so God’s area could expand. Even the people were divided to God and Satan’s side. The two sides become one when the priest offers it to God and it is accepted.

That created the area for God’s son to take over later. The steps were so serious in the Old Testament to make the offering. The purpose was in order to receive the king who then could receive the messiah. Judaism was Abel and the nation of Israel was Cain. They should have become one, and on that foundation received Jesus as king. The king of Israel was the perfection stage, with the people as form, and the priest as growth. People have families, the priest is the parental position. The Israelites should have become family, church and national level kings, centered on Jesus. The Unification Church is entering the era to become kings. So we have to know the process. The Old Testament, New Testament, Completed Testament and kingship are attached to Father. To build the kingship era, we should offer everything we possess for the nation, and then the nation for the world.

By offering all things, the world should have received the son from God. Because it did not happen on earth, the martyrdom of Christians, for 2,000 years, came about.

The leaders of the church and nation would have been one with Jesus. In the New Testament Age, children sacrificed their lives to receive the parents. So the prophecy of the coming messiah was prevalent. Because of the cross, Jesus could not expand his family, nation and world. Therefore, True Parents come on the cross to establish the family, nation and world there. The New Testament Age paid indemnity for the Old Testament Age’s failure. The Old Testament Age expected Elijah to come first on the clouds. Christians believe Lord of the Second Advent will come on clouds, too. Did Elijah come on the clouds? No; he came as John the Baptist. Before the Lord of the Second Advent is finalized, many John the Baptists will arise. That’s why many federations will come about.

Our name was formerly HSA-UWC. After World War I, the women’s liberation movement started. America was the Christian kingdom, so all the women were to be queens, and you started the movement to get control of the family. Also divorce started rising. Because of a woman’s problem, the fall came, so in the last days there will be women’s problems, such as divorce, the rejection of one’s husband. A woman who deals with many men is called a concubine. In the Bible are several such concubines — Bathsheba, Rahab, and even Tamar. Leah, the first wife of Jacob, and Rachel, the second wife, battled. That’s why the American family tradition is being destroyed by the wife leaving to become the second wife to another man.

Before the fall, God owned everything. Then Satan stole it all. Now we take it back. After dedicating it to God, you can receive it. The Old Testament sacrificed all things, the New Testament sacrificed the children, and the Completed Testament sacrifices the parents. Adam lost the family, Jesus lost the nation, but the third Adam comes and is welcomed on the world stage, centering on the blessing time, which recovers the family and nation. The Completed Testament means the blessed couple, family settlement, inviting God to live with you.

So we have no ownership. Old Testament and New Testament also had no ownership. Then Israel was to give everything to Rome, to create one world under God. But Israel was captive to the concept of one nation under God. Because of that failure, Christianity developed, eventually Protestantism.

From today on, drop the notion of ownership of our things, our children, our spouse, through true love. By doing so, you can possess the higher true love of the nation, world and cosmos.
