UNTITLED ADDRESS

Rev. Sun Myung
Moon
1976 Special Speech Enlightening What Has Happened and TF's Strategy
September 20,
1976 -- Tarrytown, New York
"I would like to
share something important with you. I have had many experiences in which I was
misunderstood, yet I remained absolutely silent without protesting and stood
quietly on the side of God, giving Him my utmost loyalty and knowing that He was
on my side. There is no death anymore, and if I were to suddenly die I would
continue to work in the same way in the spirit world. That is why I don't
protest, even though the world curses and criticizes me and is scornful to me.
After my death millions of people in the spirit world and here on earth will
testify to my deeds, and to what I have done in history. This may not come in my
own lifetime, but in eternity I know that my deeds will
shine.
Moreover, I will
have opened the way to help those who suffer most, after I go to spirit world. I
can be in a position to assist those who are suffering here on earth, because by
my suffering I will have set the condition. You see, in the spirit world those
in history who suffered the most in the name of God occupy the central
positions, so I intend to outdo or surpass the suffering of all the past saints,
so as to not only dwell among them but rise up above them, so that together we
can more quickly liberate the suffering souls of the world. Do you understand?
It's all a part of heavenly strategy. Even though I have suffered, and will
suffer still more, and I will be misunderstood and accused even more, by taking
this treatment without protest I continuously nurture this tradition, and
eventually our way of life and our truth will prevail. I know it. The work will
never stop, whether I am here on earth or up in heaven.
Thus it is
immaterial whether or not I can unify the world within my lifetime, for this
work will go on and on, and I will continue to lead it, whether I am here on
earth or in the spirit world. This ideology, this philosophy, this tradition and
this heart will inevitably unify the world. Even after my death, as a spirit man
I will constantly appear and lead you into the same tradition, the same way of
life, until we have achieved the complete kingdom of God here on earth. This is
the principle under which I am operating. I do not expect this to happen in ten
years or even in my lifetime, but in eternity.
I know the spirit
world so well. I know its system and organization inside out. At present that
world is invisible to you, but the assault of the spirit world upon the physical
world is almost like a hurricane or a typhoon. Soon the new heaven and earth
will open up in front of you. I know that timetable so clearly. It is coming,
and it will bring a new world and a new way of life. When an extreme high
pressure point and an extreme low pressure point confront, the impact is great
and the result is new form. We might say that an historical typhoon has come to
blow in front of the Unification Church, and the high and low pressures will
clash and explode, opening up the way for us. That time is not very far away.
The spirit world and the physical world are getting closer and closer, and I
must lead you and this movement in the right
direction."
