THE DIVIDING PEAK OF THE DISPENSATION OF HISTORY REVEREND SUN MYUNG MOON

March 1, 1991 Belvedere Translator - Sang Kil Han The topic of Father's talk this morning is "The Dividing Peak of the Dispensation of History." Are any Barrytown students here? Just one? Are there any 777 couple representatives here? What anniversary will you celebrate this year? You were married in 1970, so this will be twenty one years. Are those attending this morning leaders or those who don't have responsibility for a group or organization? How many countries are represented here? Korea, Japan of course, America, how about Germany? France? Any other nations? England, Peru, China, Brazil, Australia, Soviet Union, Guyana, Vietnam, Italy. Do these countries have a mixed blood lineage or just one? America, for example is combined. Each race keeps a certain identity then they get together. But still you cannot exactly call it a nation of mixed blood. You can say the Unification Church meets the qualification of being both combined and mixed. Do you understand? In the Unification Church, the blood itself is being mixed and gathered together. America is a country which is comprised of people who crossed the boundaries of many nations. Religiously persecuted, the early settlers sought freedom and independence for their own belief. They all came to America and formed a country. So America is a country which founded the new Protestant denominations of Christianity. Until then each country had been like a hermit, but America went over the boundary and united based on Christianity. Still, within the United States certain sects or inclinations have been visible. That means the Protestant denominations basically go beyond the boundary of nation, but the churches which have their roots or surroundings in Italy or Germany or even England still retain some of the identity of their origins. They united but they still keep somewhat to themselves. In the background of these faiths there is a strong Catholic influence. Other influences from different nations also have been shaping American faith. Many races have many different backgrounds of Christian denominations. But all those denominations cannot unify. That's the problem. The true ideal of Christianity, what God and Jesus meant to come about, was a true unity, a true intermingling unity, and that has not been fulfilled. At the time of Jesus we see that three disciples were antagonistic to each other. They competed and fought. In fact the seventy two elders fought, each exerting themselves. Even the 120. When each country grew they continued to fight and continued to widen the rift rather than closing it up. Today especially, the Protestant groups have kept their own independence. Today we see the result of that. 120 countries have formed centering on the United Nations. Instead of all becoming one, there are many countries. We can conclude that even though it is in the second born son position, America is supposed to gain the older son's position which Catholicism has. America is to become an elder son and influence all the world. In other words, the first son is supposed to influence the world including the second son, but this time with America its the other way around. America is restoring elder sonship. This is what America was supposed to do. Protestantism is the second generation to Catholicism. It is true that America exerts a great influence even over the Holy See, in fact it takes the position of elder son though it is the second born. In 1960 Kennedy became president of the United States. He was Catholic-the first Catholic president of the United States. But 1960 was the year of equality, a time when everyone become equal-when there was equality between the elder son and the second son. Until then the second son had been raised up, but from that time they had equality. It was because of the True Parents arrival. The parents cannot arrive until the brothers become one. So at that time in 1960, when the two brothers became one, True Parents were able to reveal themselves here on earth. President Kennedy should have given economic aid to all the world, expanding the horizon of American influence. Instead, since he did not know the dispensation, Kennedy and his administration went the wrong way; they went backward. They decreased aid and contained themselves, saying they would mind their own business and let other countries take care of their own. That was clearly against the way God intended America to be. That is the reason Kennedy met an untimely end. The same happened to the United Nations: Dag Hammerskjold died. These things were the result of non-compliance with God's direction. America was not meant to be just an Anglo Saxon country for itself. God meant it to grow into a country which does things all over the world for the world, not just for their own country. But since people did not know this was the dispensation they decreased. 1960 can be called the transitional year of all history. That is the decade that the victorious countries of World War II helped the defeated countries become independent and equal . They were to raise them up. This is what happened in 1960. We see very clearly that 1960 was a year when the victorious countries raised up the defeated countries. That was in accord with the world wide direction which they were to go. But America, which is a mixture of all other nations, should clearly have moved in the same direction-to exist not just for themselves. But that is the trend they mistakenly took. The administration tried to go backwards, to go against this direction. They tried to get together for themselves, not to help and influence other countries. It is very important to recognize the importance of Christianity in America. If we disregard that element, America has very little meaning. When America won its independence, George Washington was a betrayer to England which was their mother nation. It was not something that could be encouraged or even praised. It was not. How can you tolerate the country which betrayed its origins without clear cause and became independent? America at that time was in the son's position whereas England was in the mother's position. This time the son was not supposed to follow the mother, but the mother was supposed to follow the son. This is the view point of restoration. So God helped America to be born as the first son of the mother, England. The dispensation allowed this situation to exist for the restoration of elder sonship. Comparing to that, how does the Lord of the Second Advent come? The same way. The second advent will be born of a woman. Do you understand? At the time of the last advent that son occupied all the mothers country, all the mother's people, all the mother's-side traditions. That's what Washington was and did. In Korean, Washington rhymes very well with a word which means 'wash stone.' Stone is symbolic of Jesus and the Christ to come. So wash the stone means make preparation. Clean up the atmosphere. This is the principle point of view. This is the right perspective to look at American history. As for the matter of the Indians, did more Indians die from illness or from being killed? [From being killed.] There are many problems that can never be solved unless we come to understand the Principle and then for the first time that puzzle can be explained. The owner of that perspective and the principle is Reverend Moon himself. How and why did the events with the Indians take place? In the world arena, Asia is the first born and the second born- America-has to restore elder sonship. Asians are in a first son position. They have such a huge population which means a longer history. The Indians, who were Asians, were already in America. They were the first sons. But to restore the elder sonship, the second son, which is America, came in and God "allowed" them to turn things upside-down, or right side up. America became a great nation by great blessing. But just like the Indians who shed their blood and sacrificed themselves for the second son to become elder son and to satisfy the dispensational direction, if Americans shed blood themselves for the sake of the world America would remain to become an even greater nation. If Americans had carried that out, sacrificing their nation for the sake of other nations and for the sake of becoming one, then America would never have declined like as it has. Do you follow? If America like a live offering takes itself to the alter and is prepared to be killed for the betterment of the world and to serve the purpose of God, and to embrace the whole world, America would be quite a different nation today. It would be very prosperous, very much loved by God and every nation of the world. But they did not know that dispensation. What they did instead was to try to embrace other nations for their own sake to serve their own purpose. They tried to digest others for the sake of themselves rather than offering themselves for the sake of others. This is how America went against the direction of the dispensation. America has clearly only one way to go. That is to exist for the sake of other nations. Otherwise there is no way they can get out of the realm of blame by those who have been killed, by those who offered themselves as a sacrifice. In other words, Indians were sacrificed and to vindicate their offering America should have gone the right way. Then America could not be blamed. But because America went against God, they can be blamed. The way that Christianity must go is clear. First we have to reveal these little understood principles and satisfy the condition of sacrificing oneself for the sake of others. The one who is willing to shed their blood, the one who is ready to die, will live. So even now the only way for American Christianity to live is to connect with that sacrificial deed. Because God helped America, raised America to restore elder sonship, He "let" America kill all the first sons so that they themselves could become first sons. Now that they have done that, it is their turn to suffer and offer themselves for the sake of other nations. We have to do that for American Christianity to continue. No one can deny through logic and reasoning that the only way for this restored elder sonship to continue to receive blessing is to go backward, the same way as they came to be raised as the first son. We must go the way of sacrifice. Maybe you do not understand this very deeply. Maybe this is the first time you are aware of this, is what Father says really true? Without going through this course there is no way to reach the goal. Has Father been thinking cleverly to come to this point? If this speech were broadcast to the entire nation of America, would they say, "Oh Reverend Moon, you're wrong, it's not so." Or would they say he is correct? [Correct.] But how many young Americans in reality are ready to shed their blood for someone other than themselves? What about other people, other races, other nations? No. If there is none, in order for America to survive and prosper somebody had to take up this task because there is no other way for America to receive blessings. "Who is to do it?" is the question. Let us look at those who have gone for many years of training in the seminary, including all the staff members-higher or lower it doesn't make any difference. All want to come and hide in Father's shadow and get a salary from the church and from Father and somehow live day by day. But let Father ask you a question. Have any one of you ever given Father a salary? It's alright that we received one so far, but has anyone ever given one to Father. And when the going becomes difficult those people look around and then pack up and leave. Why did Father create the Barrytown Theological Seminary in the first place? To let the students know this principle, strengthen themselves and carry it out. How can such a person be the first one to escape and flee? Today Father has helped many essential organizations for example, The Washington Times and ALC, which played crucial parts in reviving the hope of America. But after a while they become comfortable and say, "Reverend Moon give us more money, We need more money." Every year they ask for more money instead of saying, "We will support ourselves and eventually we will support you." Things haven't gone in that direction. Americans say, "It is our tradition. We are the job fulfillers, we are the job people. I do work and somebody has to pay me." That is their mentality. Father, who doesn't even have a country, comes here, sacrifices himself to the utmost, provides money and everybody just asks for more money. In the view of the dispensation the elder son of all elder sons, and the king of all kings, and parents of all parents came to this country and sacrificed everything. Reverend Moon is in the central position, the central son's position, parents' position and center king's position. All those three combined into one center on Father. That kind of man who came to America and sacrificed himself has been persecuted by America until now, day and night. This is the providential perspective. America is losing its elder son's position and therefore its future parents' position and kingship position. Those three things will be lost. Now America is going down, down, down. Who can pick it up? Only Reverend Moon who is centered on the providential viewpoint. America must follow me; otherwise there is no way. This is why God called Reverend Moon to help America to do the right thing. It is even difficult to talk about in the same mind, but Father actually put the president into his office according to the dispensation, according to what God wants for fourteen years. Can you imagine how difficult it is even to express in words, let alone put this into action and make it reality? Father is not just thinking and talking about it, but doing it. Father didn't even have the language or anything, but single handedly came to America and while Americans were all dreaming, he actually saved this country physically. How difficult it must have been. It wasn't the CIA or the FBI, but Father himself who made the president and we all saw how it went, what Father predicted and what would happen. Looking back we see that everything happened. The one who is in the position to have a consistent view, those who have had the opportunity to be watching Father for the last ten or twenty years, like politicians and intelligence sources, those people know what has transpired. There is no question that Father did these things: Father came here and then restored the things America did not do. If Father did not do those things America would have gone farther down than it is now. Centering on America, Father made up that foundation centering on leader's rights-on parentship. That mission is the American president's. But he didn't do that, so standing in the center position, Father did everything. 1974 was the year Father officially entered America and got his green card. During the next fourteen years up to 1988, Father accomplished these things. During this fourteen years of intense work solely for the sake of America, there was not one day when Father was welcomed by the American people. Reagan, who is deeply indebted to Father, betrayed Father. He never paid him any attention or gave any support to Reverend Moon. Even though all Americans betrayed Father, including the president, God has embraced Father even more tightly. So it is very clear, if America does not follow the wake of Reverend Moon, following him wherever he goes, there is no way they can come alive. They will perish and decline. America is in the elder son's position to Father because they represent the whole Christian world. Christianity was born earlier than Father. In all perspectives everyone is in the position to praise and thank Reverend Moon, but when they do not, but instead go the wrong way, then their direction will be one of decline. Dispensationally doing what America is failing to do, somehow Father provides the condition and makes good. God says, "Yes, I accept." Then Father reaches out for Russia. Russia is an enemy too. During this long reign, the dark ages of communism, they along with Kim I1 Sung tried to kill Reverend Moon. Even Gorbachev wanted to assassinate Reverend Moon. But Father repelled that. They cannot beat God. Ultimately, Gorbachev has to bow down to Father. At the time of the fall, Adam didn't know where he was going. The mother country did not know where to go, the fallen elder son did not know where to go. The archangel, Satan, did not know where to go. The only one who knew was God. Father's time is coming now. In all history-America, Russia, the Christian church, the elder son, the second son, the Eve country, England-no one in the world knew the direction to go. Only the man who centers on God knows. Who is he? Reverend Moon. So Bush and Gorbachev do not know. Just like after the fall, nobody knows. But Father brings them the right understanding. They aren't even willing to go and yet Father brings them. Christianity too is in complete darkness. They can't see even one inch ahead of them. Nobody knows. Other religions don't know either. What do you say? "Yes Father, I think I can understand" or "Yes Father, I know that is true"? [We know its true.] This is reality. You have to be convinced of this concept. People did not know this kind of history and tradition. Who can solve America's situation? Only by centering on Father's viewpoint. Until now what has been your attitude? Are you absolutely connected with a Principled viewpoint? No. You also have to make a new direction otherwise there is no hope for America's future. Do you understand? So what is the title of Father's sermon this morning? "The Dividing Peak of the Dispensation of History." That peak divides the fallen past from the victorious future. Has America crossed over the top of that dividing peak? How high is this peak which is the highest mountain of the dispensation? Is it a low hill or a very high mountain? We know Mount Everest is high. Is this mountain taller or lower than that? [Taller.] It is the peak which God Himself could not go over, it is so high. Father knew that it is not the peak which God has to stand in front of and cross. Rather Adam and Eve have to stand before God and go over first . Then God will follow. The purpose of creation is not fulfilled by God. The planning is all done by God, but the actual achieving of the purpose of creation is done by Adam and Eve themselves. How? To live in the right relationship with God. Living like that is Adam's responsibility. In going over this peak, is it just Adam and Eve and God? Or do Adam and Eve and God make their difficult way, pioneering and pulling, and lead all the rest of mankind beyond the satanic territory by going over that dividing line? Does everybody have to go or just Adam and Eve? [Everyone.] This is one reason God had to send the messiah to the earth. He has to go in front of God and help every one of mankind go beyond that boundary. After that God can follow. That is the order. America, England and France became the victors of World War II. They united based on their Christian background. They became victors but they did not know which way to go after that. This was the first time unification had an historic foundation- when England (in the mother's position), America (in the elder son's position) and France (in the archangel position) fought for victory. Those three countries made up one unified nation after the second world war. It was the first time in history a religious background made up that kind of foundation. What would have happened if that unified atmosphere united with Father? One world under God would have been established. Elder sonship would have been restored, parentship would have been restored and kingship would have been restored. All these things would have been completed within seven years time. Today we can only imagine it, but this would have taken place. The Protestants, Catholics, Christians and non-Christians, even non-believers would have gone over this peak. If the Holy See and America became one, in essence the world would have been united already. If they became one and accepted Father then the world would already be one, every country not just a few. If that happened Russia would have ceased to exist as a hostile nation. Communism would have melted like snow. In the last several decades Father has shown us the blueprint of how the free world has to go under God's dispensation. Also he predicted and he taught that communist theory is wrong and he taught the alternative. Father already did that. Father still wants to cross this dividing peak. What Father could have done easily in seven years, took him seventy years. Since it did not happen as originally planned after WW II, Father had to indemnify all of it in order to go up to the top of this mountain and cross over the peak now. America today has no idea what is in store for them. For example with the Gulf War. If American leaders had intently listened to what Reverend Moon said, they could have found a way around that war. But they didn't know. That alternative would have united Bush and Gorbachev completely into one. They are minimally united now, but not like that. Then also the war would not have had to come. This world is blind; they do not know what to do. How many Americans are confident they can take care of the aftermath of the Gulf War? The war ended but from here on they don't know what to do. Now everyone comes back saying, "Yes, we won. Mansei for Bush!", but it is not that simple. How do you resolve the consequence of that war? Father knew this would come to pass, so he prepared already by educating the Muslim realm. Father told them God's dispensation. Miraculously, Father worked so hard for them that fortunately they listened. Father has arranged all things with the Syrian Grand Mufti. You saw that they came here and went through the forty days training, learned Father's doctrine for the first time in Muslim history. They didn't understand all the details of Divine Principle, but they have one thing clear-they know the Grand Mufti is their father. He is their father-figure. Now they discovered that here is a new father, and the new father is somehow greater than their father. That much they understand. You know how difficult it is to reach out to the Muslims and try to convert them. They are very rigid and even if they listen to the theory of some other religion they can be executed. But here the top of the whole Muslim community came to listen, so no one is in the position to stop them. No one among them can say, "He is a heretic." This is the same in the Buddhist world. Just before the war last year there was a religious congress in San Francisco where they decided they would all follow Reverend Moon. The glad fact that Syria did not get seriously involved in this war, that Egypt did not, is due to what Father painstakingly has been carrying out in the past. They have a reason to be grateful to Father. That is easy to say, and even easier for you to listen to because you sit down. Listening is a much too easy way. You should pay. Since you didn't pay you don't know how valuable it is. So you say, "Oh, Father I understand. Still Americanism is number one." Is that number one or number ten? Not even ten, more like 1000 or 100,000. Americans somehow feel America is the best and you can't shake that idea off. You cannot solve this problem by laughing it off either, only by shedding your own blood can you come to understand where you are. This is why Father started chasing American members out of this country to the world. And everyone who went out to the mission country, were they glad or not? [Glad.] For the first time it occurred to them, "Maybe America is wrong." First they understood they have sinned very much against our Father. For the first time they understood this. Our members understood two things. First they understood America sinned against Father very much. Secondly, even Unification Church members have sinned against our Father much. Because they always thought, while Father was speaking and doing things, "Father doesn't know America. America's way is better than his." They always thought like this, and by doing so greatly hindered Father's work. Since Father came to America, American Unification Church members joined IOWC and went to the east, south, west, and north. We immediately went around to stir up the country making too much noise and so were persecuted. Everyone asked, "Why are they making so much noise? Why don't they be quiet?" I know that. During three and a half years Father had to turn around America. Father knew that. But Americans asked, "Why don't we just do things in a gentlemanly way? Why don't we just work quietly, which is the American way?" But there wasn't time, so Father had to move quickly during that time, or America would have become an eternal enemy. The peak was here for Father to cross, but that did not happen. Now Father has to indemnify the whole thing and not go on as an individual. Rather he has to go over as a family. So Father blessed the thirty six couples which is three times twelve. And seventy two couples which is twice the thirty six number. And 120 which represented 120 nations when Christ comes again. When Father gave the Blessing at that time there were 124 countries in the United Nations. There were actually 124, the four additional being included as representatives of those who committed crimes in the satanic world. Father's desire is to save even Satan, so representing the worst Satan four more couples were included. 120 would have been sufficient, but the fact that Father added four more made a big difference. That number could symbolize everybody in the world. For this addition Father was incredibly persecuted, just to add these four to the number. In America they get married and how many days does it last until they divorce? How many hours? You laugh because there is truth in it! Should we bless the one who has a husband or wife? That wife and husband should lead all their relatives. That means in Korea, that if this man's wife wants to marry another man, he has to lead the way and bless them. Do you understand? It's that difficult, that impossibly difficult. To give the Blessing is not easy for Father. Because Father wanted to save even these four extra couples he has been blamed and labeled as a family breaker. In reality Father tries to save even Satan, but Satan didn't understand and tried to turn it around the other way and so blamed Father for giving the Blessing. Here in America Father knew well the basic circumstances of this country. How many are virgins on either the man's side or woman's side? If virginity was required, there was no way for the blessing to be given here. It was never easy-the Blessing that you got. Father has been persecuted and has borne the cross on his shoulders because of giving the blessing to unworthy people in an unworthy position. Do you understand? So if you think you're blessed and that it came easy and you are privileged, you should not. And you certainly cannot think it is the same as marrying in the outside world. The average woman has been living with over thirty men; that is the result of free sex. Sometimes 1000. Father really feels such people deserve to be hit by lightning. Then Father blessed 430 couples. Here too Father added four to make 434. Father extended that into 4300 which includes all the major family names. Centered here everything is attached to Korea. No one can separate from Korea which is the P. That is why Father did that. With this foundation, an acceptable foundation to God, Father proceeded to bless m couples which Father extended to the entire world. So the 777 blessed couples are representatives of all the world. 777 is the number twenty one. That was in 1970. This Blessing embraced more than forty countries. Centered on that Father gave the blessings for holy grounds in every country. After that, as we know, there was the 1800 couples blessing. That is three times six. As we know six represents a satanic number. 6000 couples included all the nations in the world. Even though Father did not yet have one country Father has formed one blood lineage. Like Adam and Eve and their few family members who were alive at that point, they have multiplied to this point. Father here has the same base of starting a new lineage and has brought them up both spiritually and physically and has crossed over this dividing peak. America has gathered together in number and has united pretty well, but has never really intermingled. There has never been real unity. Whereas we, though we may have a small number now, we are one in blood and one race. By the time it reproduces and expands in years to come you can only imagine! In the matter of a few years the whole world will be flooded by our race. This is why Father has planned and is about to make the Blessings public through the World Cultural Olympics. On this foundation anybody who wants to join Father and our race can come from now on. So American young people and Japanese, even Russian young people want to come and join in. China too. The boundaries of democracy or communism, are no hindrance; people will come and join from all other countries. All are coming under one intermingled blood lineage. When the satanic world looks at these large numbers of people coming to be involved, how disappointed or desperate it must be. Satan's country is coming to an end now. There is a big tree which has a satanic origin. Father uprooted that tree and Father planted his own new lineage into it, so Satan is desperate and doesn't know what to do. Religious Americans may have thought they knew about Reverend Moon, since he is working on religion, but Father went beyond what they thought. Many countries, many origins are coming into America and being united. They thought that was pretty good, but now they are really flabbergasted to find out that Father is coming down even beyond that level to mix the blood. They could not imagine that. The word WASP means they are secluded and isolated, and they even thought that was God's will. But here they see blacks and all different races and colors altogether. Not just Western, but everyone is in it. That pure white blonde is willing to accept anyone. What she is proposing is to become the elder son's wife. Men, too, want to become the husband of the elder sister. Just like Abraham was grateful for his blessing, we are eternally grateful for our blessing and matching because we know that we will become ancestors of a unified black and white race. Even white people know that and want to partake in that historical position. This blonde is ready and willing to cross over even the heaviest burden or cross of marriage in interracial or international marriage. How much has God worked in the past to make our blessing possible and to keep it working? How much has God done? None of us could possibly know how much it has taken to make it to this dividing peak. If we did know we would take our marriage much more seriously. Blessed couples number more than 24,000, and whose tribe is it? Centering on God, it is God's tribe. There are many tribes in the world, and whose are they? Satan's. But here we know we are God's tribe. This is the dividing point we have crossed. Who are you? Are you a member of God's tribe or Satan's tribe? To be in God's tribe means you are part of a special race. What kind of race? [Love race.] What kind of love? [True Love.] The True Love race! Are you the True Love race really? [Yes.] Just think how difficult it is to attain the contents of True Love. Father has always got that True Love content every time, everywhere. But still God couldn't use that. Why? Because He didn't have an object. Father took that kind of position where even his True Love couldn't be fully received by God. But from this difficult, miserable place God's race began. How Satan tried to deny that! It has not been an easy way. You have to know that. How much God has been thinking all through history, even on the cross, how to make True Love flourish in the midst of the fallen world. All through history He has been persecuted. It is a serious situation. Do you understand? God is my Father, your Father. So you have to take the indemnity course, take that reverse course on the individual level, the family, tribe, nation and world level. God is paying indemnity, carrying the heaviest burden all through history. By paying indemnity we are creating a victorious atmosphere which increases the good atmosphere. Father understood everything going on behind God's providence. He persevered through persecution and after that has made the providential perspective clear. Anyone who connects with the Divine Principle can immediately understand the Fall. Immediately they can know God's situation. They will see how miserable all history has been. Also they will understand "God is my Father. More than me, He was persecuted all through history." Then they can decide, "At this time I will stand in Father's situation. I will pick up the rest of God's love cross." Going that way is called the unification way. Do you understand? You have to know this position clearly. Compare this point with your situation. Realistically you cannot compare Father's situation to yours. You would have to imagine a situation ten times, a hundred, even a thousand times more filled with persecution. You can never compare yourself to God's situation. Father clearly understood what was going on behind God's providence all through history, so no matter how impossible the indemnity seemed he said, "I will take it on. I will march onward and upward." He took the progressive way, no matter how difficult. And this course is a one-way course, not two ways! So have we crossed the dividing peak or not? [Yes.] Who crossed it first? [True Parents.] Now we have reached a point where no one can come against Father. This is a course where even you as an individual and you as a blessed couple or family, as a representative of race or country, can never change our position back to anything in the world. Our position is far too precious. The only thing we need to know is how precious our position is. Ten times 24,000 blessed couples is 240,000. One hundred times is 2,400,000. One thousand fold is 24,000,000. It doesn't take that long. Very quickly we will reach to that level. Does autumn come quickly or slowly? Which is faster, the speed of Fall when the leaves start falling, or spring, when everything turns green and starts to grow and becomes tall and mature and then ready for fall and winter. Which period is faster? [Spring. No, fall.] Who answered spring? There is always an oddball. Maybe Satan is staying very close to him. Satan will say, "In there is my foundation." When you are in a serious examination and you say "No," when you were supposed to say "Yes," or you answer "Yes" instead of "No," it sounds like an easy mistake, but what are the consequences? The difference is like that between heaven and earth. The world has now become tinted with Reverend Moon's color, hasn't it? America is dropping its opposition and now it is becoming the spring of faith. Father gave his new grandsons and grand-daughters this name, for example Shin Son means goodness and spring. Father feels "Now the springtime is visiting us again. This is the springtime of faith." It is the religious spring into which we are now coming. Father is leading this world into one world, one new spirit. Does it look like that? [Yes.] In autumn Father harvests the fruits, but did Father harvest the fruit on the fallen side of the peak or after crossing over the dividing peak? Did you go over by yourself, or just by following, so that without knowing you find yourself over the top? [Just followed.] Like the Pilgrim Fathers, we preserved our food and then started planting. They wanted to plant more and more so they could have a bigger harvest. They were working very hard to plant because they knew that this would bring more harvest. That is the Pilgrim Fathers' spirit. They sold everything, cast out everything-nation, family, cultural background, they cast out everything. You too must forget everything you own. Only the seed, this one hard seed is our concern. That is the seed of a new territory. Father gave us a new order didn't he? Father told us to go back to our homeland. When you go to your hometown to witness it is a new land. This is the new settlement of Moonies or the new generation's new age. The Moonie is not really a proper name for us, what would you call those who belong to this world? [Worldists.] We need to build a worldist country. Which is bigger the country or the world? The worldist country has the land in it and man and the sovereignty in it. The name is simple, it is a country, but it includes everything. Do you understand? One world under God, one nation under God-same thing. So do you want to sell everything and come here over the peak to find a fertile land and plant as much as you can? Do you want to give up everything and forget everything of this land here? You're very light then, you have nothing to worry about. Forget the culture, forget your future, forget everything, but sow just like the Pilgrim Fathers so that you will have plenty in the future. If you do that then when Father says, "Now you come to Korea", you can also drop everything and come to Korea. There you can buy land with the money you gained from selling things here. Would you like to buy land in Korea? Just imagine Korea! Everyone in the world will want to own a piece of land there, and Korea is not that big a country! How high the price will be! Like a Pilgrim Father they drop everything, forget everything, sell everything and they come to settle down in Korea. They will say I forsook England to come to Korea, I gave up America to come to Korea and now I have this proud foundation for thousands of years of my lineage to come. How wonderful that person would be as an early settler in Korea. Do you want to follow Father to Korea too? [Yes.] Why? Because we have to cross that dividing peak. Now if we remain here and get richer here and more influential here it is closer to hell, whereas we have to go over this peak and arrive at the other side. No matter how difficult it is, no matter how many elements come against you, you cannot be stopped by that. You have to go beyond. If the person drops here [halfway up the mountain] it's not that difficult, it's not so far to fall. However if you come almost to the top, which is so much more difficult, and then you drop down, you will fall down even further. Even here near the top we've got to make total effort no matter what. When they reach the top and somehow drop back down, that is the worst hell one can experience. So we have no choice except to go over to God's domain. We all saw President Nixon's situation. Nothing happened there and in conclusion he was ousted. You know what it is like to be ousted. Compare how much more important our situation is to Nixon's. Where would we be if we were ousted? How miserable we would be. Here everything tried to stop Father, no one sympathized or supported him. Everyone thought it was impossible. America did so, Christianity, the Muslims, all the religions and all the nations, communist countries too, opposed Father. But today, what happened? They are all beaten. No matter how many men they had and how strong they were they have just been knocked out. Now Father's plan is to educate the leaders of America and the Soviet Union and not at two different places, but in a unified class. Still many people do not respond favorable to Orientals, but what about American leaders today? Father is saying now you are Unification Church mediocres. Would you follow them on their tail or would you stand before them and lead the way, which one? [Lead the way.] With what? You know well! You have the seed, the new seed. They don't have the seed. You can say, "I have in my pocket many seeds." They will go out but they have no seed to sow. If you go you have seed. You cannot take the result effectively in the future time. If you don't have result, they will spit you out. Don't say then that you are a Moonie. If someone asks you "Don't you have some kind of effective seed?" and you say, "No, I liked only Divine Principle," with that kind of attitude you have no seed. Jesus told Jerusalem about the fig tree. Someone wanted to take the fruit but there was no fruit. Jesus told them immediately, "Get out." Do you understand? What will happen to your profession for God and the nation's future population? That means fruit, that means effective, that means result. What is result? The people of God's nation. Not apples or peaches. You know well. What is fruit? How can you harvest more? The fruit is the people of God's nation. Until then God didn't have the nation's people. He didn't have complete people. Father told us to become Tribal Messiahs, right? Tribal Messiah means we will represent the world messiah. The Tribal Messiah must contribute to help to save the world. We need manpower, economic power, knowledge power, sovereignty power. Invest everything there. Invest for the sake of God, connected to the world dispensation. Father always got the world foundation. Father's footprints have covered the world. After that he is making the Tribal Messiah center. This is our mission, do you understand? In there, there is no persecution. Going downhill after passing the peak is easy. During ten years to the 21st century, how many will be over the top-we can only imagine. How many countries have completed Father's foundation? So Father really has done more than enough for the sake of this country. If you have any reason for Father to stay here longer, please mention it now. [We love you.] Love, love, love, but then we have to be reminded, we are not the only ones who love Father. In every other country there are people who love him. Think about it, do you think white people love Father more than yellow people or black people? So that is not a good enough reason for Father to stay. Black people are talking about getting together and making a group, they are saying "Reverend Moon we want to be connected to you and we want to help you." Spanish speaking countries and their leaders are saying the same thing. The South Americans came to be on Father's side when he went to prison in America. They awarded Father a Ph.D. from a South American Catholic theological seminary. Father got four honorary Ph.D. degrees from South America. And you all need at least one Ph.D. degree, don't you? When every nation practically offered Father to give him this kind of degree he said no. Father told them, "You will give me one degree, but you will try to get ten times more than that out of me. Isn't that what your thinking?" That's business sense, not heartistic sense. Maybe Father will accept everything that they offer if the professors and students come and say, "We will become servants to you." They will bow down to Father and then maybe Father will accept. Your eyes look like the eyes of the CIA. They are very inquisitive. That's the way you look! You may not mean it, but that is how other people see you. Make it a point to keep a low silhouette and posture and try to focus on something immediate, not piercing direct at others. You too opposed Father, didn't you? Are you great Unification members? No, bad Unification members. When Father said, "Bear your own cross and go suffer. Today do this and tomorrow do that," what did you do? Every time Father comes here he encourages you only to go and suffer. "Oh, Father just says go suffer again" You said that didn't you? Did you like Father saying, "Suffer?" Every time Father comes to the same conclusion: we should receive more persecution. It's true. The outside world didn't know that, but you know me well. The worst persecution comes from those close by. Father constantly thinks about God, thinking how to take the persecution away from Him. Now you are supposed to be the inside, the most loved ones of Reverend Moon, but still you want to go the opposite way. Why? You have the contents of accusation against God. You want to be embraced and every time love God. Even in the most serious situation Father never accused God. He only said, "I will obey you more and follow you." The only way for you to reach the center is to go the way of persecution. I was thankful every time. One time Father looked back and was immediately embraced. He affirmed, "You are my most precious of my love center. I obey you and I follow you absolutely." Turn back, look at that time of embrace. How wonderful such a place is. Now Father is in God's position to you. Do you understand. Welcoming you everytime and being thankful and proud. No matter how difficult a situation you have, even if no people welcome you, and you are miserable, think, "God understands me. I am most miserable, but God understands me. This is the same as God's situation." So we can be thankful for this situation. After ten years you can look back and say "I am the center of love." You can see that your level at the beginning of those ten years was low and now the level is high. They cannot be compared. That is heaven on earth. Heaven on earth means God visiting love center place. Why? That is God's mission. In there is everything. Money-no problem. Work- no problem. Agony-no problem. Worries-no problem. Why? Because you are connecting with the center of God, immediately. With what? True Love. The True Love attribute has contents that can be inherited. It dwells on every level everywhere, including God's mind and all creatures' minds. Am I unhappy? No, the finest happy. Do you think so, do you like that? Until now you work and act as if you don't like that kind of thing, but the result is good. Do you like that? [Yes Father.] The, "Yes Father, yes, Father," sounds pretty good, but do you take action? American people want to sleep more. Clean up everything. Plant good seeds in the deepest place you can prepare, then cover them. Why? When you plant real seeds you cover them with dirty smelling fertilizer so immediately they can grow up like bamboo. Bamboo grows almost instantly. Compare this to Father-Father has good seeds in the bottom side. Father is covered with dirty smelly things because he understood that in the future you would need good fertilizer. Eve doesn't have seed, just Adam. But live seeds are planted in there. Is fertilizer a good thing even if it is dirty? [Good.] You know very well it is good. You American women are much too smart! Now live seeds can be put inside and they will grow immediately higher than Mt. Everest's peak. Look down the opposite side, you can see a green field there and you can move to that side. Now you are to planting new seeds, that is your responsibility. The Unification Church has been surrounded by fertilizer with many dirty things all around us, and we could grow because of that. Now we are budding and bursting-ready to plant. Now we don't have to worry about so many things. Don't worry about whether it will rain or not, don't worry whether you will die or not because you are prepared for that already. Don't worry if there is a war here or a war there. Father is now going to Brazil and Argentina and other countries representing the Summit Conferences. Twenty nine countries in fact will all come to Father and say, "Why don't you visit our countries? Why do you only go to Argentina and Brazil?" They will say that. Father will answer, "If you really insist, then I can send somebody in my place." Who should Father choose to go? Should Father send someone who was not suffering while Father was suffering? No, that person is slimy like an eel, but that kind of person will say "Yes, let me go ahead of you." That kind of person never became an example of Unification Church, so if he is sent as an emissary he will not be welcomed. But when an exemplary member who always enthusiastically obeyed Father and always dedicated himself whether he would live or die, day or night, living like crazy, if Father sent that kind of person as an emissary then they all will bow down just the same as they would bow down to Father. What kind of category do we want to be in? That's what Father is wondering. If Father has one missionary who suffered so much, maybe he didn't accomplish anything, but he suffered because he was persecuted so much that he got sick, even maimed, he became lame and he cannot even move because he suffered and got hurt so much, then Father would pick him and send him as a representative. Looking at him and knowing how he became lame, all the country will bow down to him. Even though you may refuse they would build a statue for that person over the whole country. If Father goes to spirit world do you think that country would build a statue to Father? Every village where Father has been will have one. Now a representative of a state has said that their state wants to build a statue of Father. Father just scolded them stiffly because if you build a statue of a live person, it means he has to go to spirit world more quickly. Someone in Korea made a beautiful monument there. Father asked them why, saying he wasn't ready to go to the spirit world yet. They cannot help but do something in praise of Father while he is alive. So what can you do? Instead of that, we must build a strong and beautiful statue of Father in our own bosom, one which no-one can steal away. Make it better and more beautiful every day. Looking at this we have gone over the dividing peak of dispensational history. It is truly an amazing gift which Father has given to us in saying go back to your hometown and become the Tribal Messiah. When the Israelites went into Canaan, there was not even a house. They had to pitch a tent. There was nothing to eat, so they stole some of the unrefined grain. Still they were happier than during the best times they had in Egypt where their future was never certain. Now they're in heaven, the beginning of heaven. All they had to do was create it. When Father came to America he had that thinking in mind. Just like Father came with that mind and loved America with no regret, if you love America the same way as Father, this country will definitely revive. It will never die. Father loves America so much and God does so much. Why? Because God set this country as the center of the world and put so much effort and blessing into this country. In two hundred years of history, America has received many prominent guests, but none like Father. He incomparably the greatest. That is the kind of guest Father is. Father came to this country to give and we have received so much from Father. Father never spent even a dollar of America's money for himself. Father never consumed a meal of America's food without paying a price. The air doesn't belong to America and the water doesn't belong to America. If America doesn't do well and behave correctly the air and water will flow away. No matter what anyone says to Father there is nothing he can be ashamed of or afraid of. Now remaining in Father's thinking is how to close down Las Vegas and Atlantic City and Hollywood and the Mafia world. To deal with them you actually need physical power. Father is always thinking and studying. During Nixon's time Father asked to be entrusted with the drug war. The CIA, FBI, State Department and Defense Department said, "No." We have to turn around their thinking. They couldn't accomplish anything, but we can. We have to change the taste of American young people. We have to change their habits. They need healthy habits instead of habits which lead to decay. Now they have a free sex habit, drug habit and drinking habit. They try everything to excite themselves but all they find is zero. What America needs is more exciting stimulation, something stronger than drugs and alcohol. Something which would satisfy them and never disappoint them. What is it? The True Love habit. All you have to do is just get a hold of a part of it and hold tightly and you will feel the whole world become yours. You will feel all the world will come to belong to you. If I get a hold of that something and I can't move it alone, someone will come and help me. So I am excited, I am stimulated all the time. That kind of something is what we need to get a hold of. Father will forgive you so therefore raise your hand, who drank after they came into the Unification Church? You were seeking something, so you drank. Do you think that was something nice you've done or something you shouldn't have done? [Shouldn't have done.] Why? It makes you feel good. You can smoke and do whatever you want to do that helps make you happy. Why do we say we shouldn't do that? Because those are the very weapons of Satan. By giving into them, drawing from that and making it a habit, they are the very weapons to kill your own mother and father and brother and sister. Like a spy's weapon, that kind of thing destroys your most beloved family. Drugs, alcohol and tobacco are those kinds of weapons. How can we understand God's plan and heart? Free sex is Satan's real secret weapon. Through free sex Satan can bring the end of all nations and all humanity. We inherited dirty blood lineage from our ancestors. How can we relax? Those who took a glass or two of alcohol or even tobacco, are you going to continue that or never even think about that? When you are going up there to the peak do you think you can have a half a pack of cigarettes or a small bottle of wine in your pocket? You need every ounce of energy. Even our ordinary clothing, if it is not holy salted and consecrated, we will not put it on, so how can we carry tobacco or alcohol? Would it become a hindrance at the peak or not? With that kind of mentality you cannot even reach here. Your eyes are also very formidable. Be careful about what you look at. The eye literally means "I". What takes us down is our eyes. What we see can lead us to the wrong place and position. Your ears also, what you hear is very important. Sometimes what you hear will influence you to an incredible degree. [Father draws on the board explaining the significance of the Korean characters for eye and ear.] Our ears represent all four corners of the world, so you have to listen correctly. How about your eyes? Your eyes and ears are like cousins; they are very close relatives. They are about the same height. Does anyone have ears below their eyes? The character meaning saint incorporates the characters for ear, mouth and king. He is the king of ear and mouth. Eyes are already included in the ears. Do we have any saints and sages in America? American people like jokes. Do you think saints and sages like to joke? Does joking bear a fruit? The purpose of a joke is to abolish all traditions and it is used as a harbinger, to make better grounds for attacking someone else. With smiling and laughing a man may say, "Oh you are much more beautiful than my wife, let me touch you." That is a joke and this man uses it to check if this woman will fall for it or not. Jokes are used as a bridge to make a personal attack against someone else. It is a disguised weapon connected with Satan. Contrasted to that, silence is far more saintly than joking. If there is a virtue in joking, that virtue is right here in silence. You don't have to use a joke. To contact all the universe and express the confidence that you can do that, this is what silence means. Do you understand? A joke is destructive in any sense of the word. Jokers are much too talkative. You don't have to say anything and in that silence there can be more eloquence. You know Oriental women are small and they don't speak. In the beginning you think they are dumb. But later on you realize they're not. You don't know what they're thinking, from morning to evening they're just listening. The next day they continue, next day same. For one week they follow the same theory. No words, but through that they can completely surround you. That's their clear inclination. Orientals don't talk so much. As a result Japan won over America before America even knew it. All they did was take pictures and they never spoke! And then Americans complain and say, "That's not fair" and blame the Japanese, but no, it's free competition. Why were you deceived, why did you conduct yourselves in such a way that you were deceived? The one who is deceived is just as responsible as the one who deceives. Isn't it true that the world still does not understand Father? Forget about the world, even we do not yet understand Father's fullest value. These Ph.D.'s still don't know a lot of things about Father and that is why they are still here. If they knew all that Father was going to do they would pack up and go away. That means we have to understand and be submissive to Father. From the beginning we didn't understand Father or truly follow him. Gradually we have begun to understand. A saint is what? Eyes king, ear king, mouth king. That kind of man is a saint. They can represent law and truth. Can any politician theorize about what Father has done here on earth, and discard it? [No.] Can any scholar? [No.] Can any kind of money or power can erase that kind of purpose? [No.] As an individual, Father has done something which a country was supposed to do but couldn't. Father has liberated God Himself, made God free. How can God not follow Father and how can the world have any choice but to follow Father? The only way is to follow Father, both for God and the world. Father is now bringing together American and Russian politicians. Did you know that? Father brought in many Russian statesmen. Soon the Russian students in the Russian universities will conduct Divine Principle lectures inviting students from Harvard and Yale in the United States. They will deliver the Divine Principle to them from Moscow University with a Russian teacher! How about that? Completely amazing. We take losing face as a serious thing. If that happens America will really lose face. Gorbachev himself didn't know who Reverend Moon was, he just heard what was being said about Father. In his own way he found out what Father was all about and he was surprised. Mr. Gorbachev sends his staff like KGB personnel and political aides. Among the group of seventy that came to East Garden the other day was the Soviet Secretary of Justice, a forty-one year old man. They came and they applauded and when they return to Mr. Gorbachev and give a report do you think they will say, "Oh that was nothing"? Or will they say, "You should listen directly yourself to what Reverend Moon is saying"? Which way would they report? Gorbachev knows that something is going on here. He understands. [Father speaks to one brother] When did you come from Russia? [Eight days ago. With a group of Soviet students from Moscow State University.] It's about time you are going back, isn't it? [Today] Why did you come here today? [To listen to Reverend Moon.] Reverend Moon is the very one who crumbled communism. It would have come down anyway, but Father made it happen more quickly. Has Father gone over the dividing peak between this dispensational history, or is Father still going over it? [He went over.] We know holy water don't we? In Korean the words sung su and soon" su are articulated almost the same. Sung su means victory water and soon" su is holy water. So holy water and victory water are almost synonymous. Victory over what? In what sense did you become a victor? We eradicated the satanic blood and lineage. We are part of a new blood and a new lineage. We became a victor in that sense. Even pure bred dogs are highly valued. A pure bred horse is also very valuable. If even animals are like that, what about man? Those in the Unification Church are pure bred or mixed breed? Which is the more pure blood lineage, a white married with another white or white married to a black? [White and black.] Father heard only a few whites here, which is best? [White and black. Whatever Father matches.] That's a sneaky way of answering. In each matching which bears the heavier cross? White to white or white to black? Definitely white and black bears much more of a burden. If white is heaven and black is hell, white has to go down to hell and black has to come up to heaven. So far who lived the more comfortable and affluent life? [White.] Has white been in the elder son's position or the second son's position? [Elder son's.] All of the white people answer very clearly. [Elder son's.] Correct. Who exploited whom? The whites have polluted. How do you feel, white American women? Are American women closer to heaven or hell? [Hell.] Sound is good or not? Bad isn't it? So you have to repent. The word is really formidable isn't it? And the words Father is speaking are not Reverend Moon's own words. Father will take seriously the intermarriage of white and black now and in the future too. Heartistically they are opposite and their task is to unite. How difficult their task is! We have to appreciate that couple. We need a school, we need a house, we need property to provide an atmosphere that can make it a little easier. We have to help them do this. If both black and white have a house we have to sell the white person's house to make it work. Three hours have passed already. Now we understand. Once you cross this dividing peak, if you cross rather easily, then you want to cross it back! Don't ever do that. [Pointing to the fallen side.] But you can drink here. You can twist. You can have free sex. You can do anything in this free atmosphere. No one will be against you, you will be welcomed anytime, day or night in all four seasons. [No!] Father wants a free attitude here so he can do anything he wants. [No!] No matter how strong you cannot escape that attitude. This climb is a most severe, hard situation. It is hell. I know well. It is so hard to march in one direction but you must take only one way. Do you understand? Never complain. There will be many obstacles, but take one step at a time. If you take that way you will not be defeated. You are a winner. Just go one step at a time. When I went to Danbury many people fell back behind me. One step, two steps going ahead and third step over. Three steps always over. You know well the truth so this is no problem for you. You cannot go back. If one time you go back you will experience how serious the situation is. You will be surrounded with agony. There is no way to go down. This is not a two way path. Only one direction can be taken. You must march forward. We must decide in our minds that from now on we will march in only one direction and one way like Father has instructed us. Those who have made up their minds and pledge themselves "Father I will go that one way!" raise your hands. Now we also know clearly American history. Let us pray.

TRUE PARENTS' BIRTHDAY REVEREND SUN MYUNG MOON

February 20, 1991 Grand Ball Room, World Mission Center, New York Can anyone read the topic Father wrote on the blackboard? The Birthday of Our True Parents. Do you know how old Father is? Today is the fortieth anniversary of his thirty-first birthday! Those who are blessed couples, raise your hands please. Those who are going to be blessed raise your hands. What is the fall of man? The fall of man is nothing more than to transform yourself into the realm of death, to be transformed from life to death. Jesus said, "Leave the dead to bury their own dead." How you live here on earth makes a difference. You think you are alive, but in God's eyes you are dead. Human history began with this history of death. That was the beginning. Adam and Eve went to hell at the very beginning. Succeeding generations have been destined to hell. That is the very sad commentary on human history. What is hell? Hell is nothing more than a human trash can. Where do we live here on earth right now? In a living hell, created by us. All of us are suffering from internal diseases. What are those diseases? Those diseases are inheriting satanic lineage and being bound to satanic sovereignty. We are the victims of satanic slavery, which God hates most. We are the fruit of Satan's love instead of the fruit of the love of God, and God abhors this situation the most. Because of illicit or false love, the human race has been brought down to the very bottom, the very pits of hell. The question is how are we to recover and restore humankind to the shining heavenly realm. This is the work of salvation. How can this salvation take place in a world of satanic love? Salvation is the opposite of the fall. It will be done centering upon the love of God. What is the difference between Satan's love and God's love? Satanic love made our bodies the master, trampling upon the mind and making it the servant of the body. If the mind becomes the servant and the body becomes the master, performing atrocities to the mind, this is slavery of the mind under the body. This is the fallen state. Actually the mind should be the master over the body. The body should obey the mind, but this is opposite now because Satan made it opposite and so the mind is trampled by the body. How painful is this life! What about yourself? When you look at yourself, what do you think? Is your mind controlling your body or is your body controlling your mind? What do you think in your case? In a way we all are struggling within ourselves. All the good works of the saints and the religions have served to strengthen the mind so that the mind could occupy the original position, subjugating the body. Then the body becomes obedient to the mind and a harmony between the mind and body is created thus bringing a true happiness to life. That is the purpose of the teaching of the saints. That is the purpose of religion. The work of religions is what? Religion is to boost the strength of the mind, to energize the mind so that the mind becomes strong enough to subjugate the body. This is the basic work of religion, regardless of the name of the religion. All the major good religions of the world have been working for that one single goal. If this is the purpose of religion, then all good religions have to have something in common. The common point is that all religions try to suppress the body, even torment the body so it does not become the strong master of the mind. Therefore all major, high religions go against the cravings of the body. Whatever the body wants religion says, "No." Whatever the body aspires to, religion says, "No." In a way the Bible appears to have many contradictory statements. For example, Jesus said, "Those who seek to gain their life will lose it. Those who lose their life for my sake will find it." In a way it is contradictory to say that if you are trying to live, you will die. If you try to die, you will live. So what is this particular statement really saying? "You are going to lose your life," means lose your body for the sake of the direction of the mind. Then what will you find? You will find life. There are most incredible harsh rules in religion. For example, if you do a seven-day fast, a forty day fast or pray all night and do not go to bed and sleep, these are the kinds of mandates religion issues to the body. Furthermore, there is celibacy where you live alone, not marrying, for example in the Catholic Church. The most noble and sacred divine task is to become part of the priesthood. They would not marry for their entire life. Also nuns would not marry for their entire life. Furthermore, that is not the only religion which espouses this. Look at Buddhism. The monks go to the mountain for their entire life without even the presence of the opposite sex, living by themselves as part of their faith. But then when we look at this point of view of valuing the harsh discipline that good religions have been imposing upon people, and look at the American way of life today, how many Americans can do any of these things? How many can do all night prayers, seven-day fasts or forty-day fasts? How many Americans can really be celibate for their entire life without marriage? When I look I see very little chance of this way of life succeeding in American society today. American society is a society of the body's freedom. American society pursues the carnal pleasure which the body dictates. That is the characteristic we observe in America's society today. But why should I torment my own body? Because my body has become the stage of Satan. Satan always uses the body being arrogant, showing off saying, "I am the one, I am supreme. I am number one." That arrogance is demonstrated through the body. That is Satan's way of life. Furthermore, American life is pursuing artificial intoxication. For example, what is alcohol all about? Intoxication of oneself. What is the drug-culture? Intoxicating ourselves. There are so many ways in America that people are trying to artificially intoxicate themselves and live artificial lives. Another example is tobacco, smoking. Why do people do this? It is a way of intoxicating oneself. It is another example. The external environment enhances the desires of the body and its cravings. Alcohol, drugs, smoking and sexual abuse are the vainglorious activities of the body. There is pressure to forget about the mind; the body comes first. Meet the body's desires. What about your fingernails? What about lipstick? Father has been very understanding of you. He said, 'You've been modest with just a little pinkish lipstick. I allow you to have that. But some women look like they just ate a rat, a crimson rat! I saw Satan in it." How about your eyelashes? Father is not against beauty. Father also knows that beauty saves the world, so Father is not against beauty, but when you overdo it, it becomes a satanic instrument. If you manicure your nails and make them red, someone else will say, "No, make them black!" Some already have blue eyelashes, some black, what about red eyelashes and yellow eyelashes? Pinkish lips sometimes look okay, then they become crimson red and that still isn't too much. But nowadays, I have seen so many purple lips-pink and purple lips! At each stage, who is delighted? Satan is delighted. The truth never changes, so anything that is changeable morning to night, one color to another, one act to another, such are not truthful acts. That is a satanically inspired act. So you can see in our society how many satanic influences are rampant out there, how many satanic nets are everywhere. This is the problem of death. Our society is the realm of death. Who then shall conquer the realm of death and bring it to life? The only hope lies with the appearance of a true religion and a leader of that religion. This is the only hope for the transformation of society from the realm of death to the realm of life. This line represents the fallen act of men. The fall brings us down to the bottom of the pits. From that point on the work of salvation has begun gradually step by step over many thousands of years. First there is the servant of servant religion, then the servant religion, the step-son's religion then what happens? There is mother's religion, father's religion, and ultimately True Parent's religion. That is the ultimate restoration. That is the direction history is running right now. Each stage of religion thinks that's all there is to it. But no, that is only one stage of religion preparing for the next stage. So the aspiration has to be elevated to higher and higher religions. The servant of servant religion prepares for the servant religion. The servant religion prepares for the stepson's religion, then the adopted son's religion, up to the son's religion and ultimately all the way to the True Parents' religion. Religion is making progress, steady progress throughout history. Many people do no know that. Even though the teaching of each religion says a lot of good things, that does not mean all the religions are the same. Each religion has its own realm, its own purpose and own mission which will be elevated later to a higher one. They cannot stop. Furthermore, historically people have thought the oldest religion is the best. But that definition is wrong. Furthermore, the assumption that new religions are all bad is wrong, because each stage of the development of religion appears as a new religion. The greatest religion will become the newest religion. This sounds like a very revolutionary statement from Reverend Moon, but actually this is the most natural statement. For example, Jesus Christ came initially as the son's religion, as the true son of God religion. They were going to have elevated themselves into the True Parent's religion. In other words, Jesus Christ was intended to become the True Father of mankind. But in order to do that there must be the True Mother of mankind. That's why the marriage of the lamb was spoken of in the Bible. Now Christianity is saying, "Oh, Reverend Moon is proclaiming Jesus should have been married, that's why he is a heretic!" But actually, it is truth. It is the absolute truth. In other words, what God intended 2,000 years ago was to establish the True Parents religion for ultimate salvation. In a way religion is like a hospital. When there are no patients, no hospital is needed. By the same token, if there was no fall of man, then this world would not need any religion. To begin with, each one of you was entitled to be born as the true son of God, to grow as the true son of God, and ultimately become True Parents of mankind. Each one is to reach that level, almost automatically. However, because of the fall of man, all kinds of struggles occurred. All religions think that only their religion is sacred and only their religion will bring salvation. Everything else is satanic. This kind of attitude has become prevalent. For that reason the most incredible sacrifices have been made, through religious wars, one after another throughout history. When the True Parents' religion appears, we become naturally intoxicated (not artificially) by it. The True Parents' religion will give us an incredible, uplifting joy that will be stronger than any drug, any alcohol, any smoking or any other carnal pleasure. Everybody shall be living in joyful, natural intoxication under the ultimate religion. Furthermore, once you reach True Parents' religion, you will become completely united with that religion, and Satan will have no power to govern your life. Therefore you really enjoy liberation and freedom. You can eat as much as you want. You can drink as much as you want. You can sleep as much as you want. Why? Once you have reached the level of the True Parents' religion, it will mark the unification of the mind and body. Mind is like the father, it is in the father-like position. The body is in the mother-like position. Father takes the central position. Mother is the object of the center. Also the father is the bone of the human being and the mother is like the flesh of the human being. The bone and the flesh cannot be separated. So therefore father and mother, bone and flesh, can not be separated. By True Love all is completely united. So only with the True Parents' religion will there be true men and women, united in mind and body. The fall resulted in Satan taking the body and mind, separating them and making the body the master. Therefore the body always conquered the mind. Under that circumstance, man always tended to commit sins, to commit crimes. Therefore Satan's influence must be eliminated totally from our life. This is only possible through the True Parents' religion. Satan's basic strategy is to divide. God's basic strategy is to unite. Even the Bible said those who bring harmony shall see the Kingdom of Heaven- "Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the sons of God." Satan always divides. Satan always criticizes. Satan whispers to you, ''That guy says bad things about you. That guy is your enemy, don't leave him alone. Go, attack him." That is Satan. He always whispers something in your ears bad about someone else. Satan says something, and when you respond, "Okay I'm going to get him. I'm going to kill him! I'm going to go and torment him right now," you are a satanic instrument. But when someone responds to Satan, "Is that so? I see. Aren't you Satan?" he is undermined. The talkative person tends to commit more sins. So Father doesn't like talkative ones. American women are talkative. They talk too much! Oriental women are talkative too, but I should say far less! [Laughter]. So your five organs either become Satan's instruments or God's instruments. Your eyes can be either. They can do bad things or good. You can smell good smells or bad smells. In other words you can smell in a satanic way or you can smell in God's way. Your mouth can be used to talk in God's way or in a satanic way. Your ears, your body, your feelings, and thoughts also can be used in both ways. What do you think? I want you to know, the person who only thinks of him or herself tends to become the instrument of Satan. Those who work for the benefit of the whole, tend to do good and to do the work of God. That is another criteria to decide what is Satan's work. What do you think, God has been the one most tormented, most criticized, most cursed. For so many thousands of years, millions and millions of people have cursed God and raised their fists to God, saying all kinds of bad words to God. God hurt so much, but each time did God complain? No, God just heard it, and then forgot those things. He does not remember those things. God of course never forgets really, but He is patient. He withstands. He always forgot those statements and only pursued those good people, always pushing for good deeds. God alone could do this. This is why He is God. He is almighty. So if you want to become the image of God, you have to act like God. That means you have to hear so many things, digest it all and be patient. Always disregard negative things and responds to positive elements. Then you become like God. What if God was given a box of Cuban cigars, and God was tempted saying, "I have never smoked cigars, but this time I cannot resist this temptation. All right, I will try one." So He picks up one and puffs away at it. Will God do that? [No.] On the other hand, if Satan looked at the box of great cigars, he would pick up immediately saying, "God, look at me. Such a wonderful taste. God, You don't know this kind of taste do You? Oh, poor God. Such a great taste!" Satan will make it look like he is in heaven, dancing around with the cigar. "Look at people in this world, they follow my pattern, they all smoke my cigars saying they are having fun, but God, I pity You. You don't have fun. You don't enjoy Your life. You don't know anything about . . . " God listens but doesn't listen. God knows but pretends not to know. God sees, but pretends not to see. God knows everything but pretends not to know anything. What about whiskey? Father has a little knowledge about whiskey, about the best name brand and so on. I have heard that there are also so many good beers. I don't even know what is out there. Satan is bringing the bottle of whiskey in front of God and saying, "Oh, look at this color, this golden color." Satan drinks and leaves a half-cup on the table so that God can see, while he goes to the bathroom to release some water. Coming back he picks up the cup again, "God, You should finish this. It is so delicious. How about You, God, for a change, why don't You drink with me?" God sees. God knows, but He pretends He never heard. Even a more incredible example is heroin or cocaine, you know, a needle in the body. Oh, you are on a high, on a trip and higher and higher and higher. "God, You don't know this kind of great joy? You don't know heaven. This is heaven. Oh, I feel so high." But God is not even moved one iota by such a temptation. God will smile and say, "Get behind me Satan." Then God will say, "Satan, you don't know one secret. I have a far greater natural, heavenly intoxication agent, and you don't know it. That kind of intoxication has no comparison. This is natural and not artificial. It lasts forever, for eternity. You don't have it. That is True Love." Father uses Bo Hi Pak as an example. Bo Hi Pak is already over sixty years old, believe it or not, but when True Love comes in front of even this poor old man, he looks like he is twenty years old. All the energy is concentrated at one core point. I really feel like a twenty year old. Once that kind of True Love intoxication hits you there will be a heavenly explosion. That does not need a translation does it! So if we are living in true intoxication, in truly unchanging intoxication, if we are really intoxicated by True Love, how happy our life is going to be! Yes or no? [Yes!] Do you think Father has tasted smoking or not? [No.] True. How about drink? [No.] How about drugs? [No.] Then poor Father. He has no fun! He does not sleep, he does not go for entertainment, he does not have any particular sports or fun; is there nothing from morning to night but work? What is Father living for? What a poor Father! Is he poor Father? Father is intoxicated by one thing-by True Mother. So you Unification Church members, you gave up your past bad habit smoking, alcohol, free sex, drinking, drugs, you gave up everything. What fun do you need? What poor guys you are! Furthermore, Reverend Moon is not only not having fun, what the secular world calls carnal fun, but he is persecuted! Even now so many people persecute Father. What kind of fun does Father have? Those things have never bothered Father one iota because Father is intoxicated by True Love. "I don't need anything else to further intoxicate me. God intoxicates me. True love intoxicates me. That is the joy of my life." It is Father's birthday today and he is seventy-one years old, but he looks like a twenty year old! Once your reach the room full of True Love, you find all kinds of things. Does it look like an empty place? Not at all. Inside that warehouse of True Love you find that nothing is unavailable. Everything is available. Everything you can name. You drink the water inside and it is sweeter than anything you can taste in the whole world. There is no comparison to whiskey or beer or anything. When the entire earth is covered by True Love, that is the true kingdom because nothing is unavailable. Everything is superb. Everything brings us natural intoxication. May I ask you one simple question? Do you really like Father? Those who like Father raise your hands please. You are crazy aren't you? Well, so many women raised their hands but there is only one Father so are you going to fight one another? Mother is watching you raise your hands. Does Mother feel good or bad? In history, more amazing things have never happened than in the Unification Church. Your own parents kidnap you and lock you in a motel or in a special storage place, but then sooner or later, when you found the opportunity, you got away and ran back into the Unification Church again. Why is that? What power is pulling you? [Love!] What about two lovers, sometimes when someone tries to separate two lovers, they say, "I would rather die than be without my lover." Is the love of your church and Father and Mother and True Love centered upon the True Parents, is this greater than the love between such lovers, or is it weaker than the love between such lovers? [Stronger!] Why? Because parents' love is the root love. Because the religion based on the love of True Parents is the home, the root of True Love. When you come here to the place of the True Parents you can reach down and connect with this root. Once you occupy the root, you are connected to the trunk and branches and leaves and you can be connected with all kinds of prosperity. What about most American youth? Do they have the root of True Love? [No.] Without this true root, can a trunk, branches and leaves survive or not? [No.] Why? What can you do? Without the true root, the branches and leaves are rotten. There are no flowers because there is no connection to the true root there. That is America's cultural background, standing on that kind of love foundation. That is Satan's foundation. Making God's foundation grow is our mission. So if somebody gives you a cigarette, are you going to put it in between your two fingers like this? Are you going to hold the cigarette or are you going to drop the cigarette? What about a whiskey bottle, are you going to open it? You want something very delicious don't you? Everyone has an innate desire to live better and eat something very good and tasty and expensive. In the meantime, you want to enjoy what others are enjoying and so on. But when you came here, Father completely shouts down this sort of thinking. Father does not give you comfort. Father he pushed you down almost to the dungeons of hell trying to let you toughen yourself and survive even under trials. Since your are going to such exotic suffering places, therefore your patents would not follow you. So your parents initially thought, "Oh, my poor child has become a victim of the Unification Church. They went down to a hellish life and so forth." Then what? You are not going to stay down there. You are going to win and come up and up and up and all of a sudden you will see the rest of the world is going down to the same place. Every address is going down to experience that miserable situation, and people will call, "Save me! Save me!" and we can call back saying, "Don't make so much noise!" The situation will be reversed. You will be in the top place and they will be on the bottom. You will keep going up and up, for what mission? To liberate God. We have not yet liberated God. So we are going up and up and up to liberate God, and now these people will say, "Bring me with you, bring me with you! I want to go with you. Save me first." Everyone will cry out to you. So you see, day by day, those against the Unification Church are disappearing. So when we say "Unification Church", what are we going to unite? What are we going to bring into unification? Unification of mind and body, unification of families, people, nations, and ultimately between God and man. What shall we achieve by bringing God and man into one? Why should we do that? By bringing unity between God and man the world will see the visiting of true love; true love coming from God to the world, the nation, the clan and to your family and yourself. True love will come and settle in your home, in the place of original settlement. At Cape Kennedy you can see satellites being shot into space. The boosters are activated to create a powerful lift off. Then what happens? The satellite utilizes one stage, a second stage and a third stage and then it orbits. Once it is orbiting the satellite doesn't need anymore energy. It effortlessly maintains its orbit, going around and around the earth with no end. True love is like that. So your home town, your true love base is where? Where is true love's root? True love's settling place is the home, the family, the true home. What is the true home? It is the place you find the true father, the true mother, true wife and true husband and true children. That's it! That is true love's home foundation. Do you have that true love in your home? You don't have confidence to answer, your answer is too weak. For your "Yes" to be powerful and confident, both of your hands have to be clean. Your eyes have to be clean, your heart has to be clean. You can't have tobacco between your fingers, you can't have a bottle or a needle in your hand. Let's say one person has been greatly blessed with material wealth. They have everything, a great big home, a big television, a stereo, a big automobile, everything. He thinks he is happy. But there is another person who doesn't have anything and he feels he is happy. He gave everything away, but after that he finds he has true love. Which one is happier? That person doesn't even have a fork and a knife, only a wooden chopsticks, which after being used for so long have turned black. Even though that is his situation, he is full of true love. From a value point of view, which one is more precious and happier? [The second one.] I thought you didn't know the answer, but you are not so dumb! You know all the answers. Parents have been giving and giving true love, but it is very rare that one child says, in front of his parents, '`I am giving my filial piety to you. It is my entire life purpose. My life is given to serve you and to give you happiness." This is rare. What if your father, your mother, even God came down to you and said, "You are even greater than me. I take my hat off to you." What if God said that to you, almost bowing down and told you were becoming that kind of person? God sees someone giving and giving true love until they have nothing left, but still they want to give more. He sees them serving others with their body day in and day out crying out for the sake of others. There is no such thing as selfishness. If you live that type of life, God will come down before you, bowing down and will say, "My son, my daughter, you are even greater than me. You are just like me." That is not just between parents and children. How about between husband and wife? The same devotion can exist between husband and wife. Husband to wife and wife to husband. What about this devotion existing between people living in service to a nation? What about service to the world? What about service to humanity? You may not have everything but God doesn't want to be staying upstairs. God wants to come down and live so close together with that kind of person that their skin is touching. God wants that kind of child. God wants to dwell with you saying, "Together we can make a new creation." God will say, "You are my partner, you are like me. You are like God. Let's recreate this world." How wonderful it would be that though you, through God cooperating with you, you could recreate the world in such a way, that the entire humanity will benefit and receive salvation. Amen! What is the title of Father's topic today? True Parents birthday is the topic, but what has Father been talking about all this time? I've been wasting all this time! [No!] Do you need True Parents? [Yes!] How much do you need True Parents? In order to obtain the level of True Parents, Father and Mother have shed the most tears and have endured the most suffering, the most grieving and have gone over the hill of the most hardship. In the history of mankind no one can compete with True Parents. Father lived in the satanic society; his environment was the same as yours. Father has been growing up and fighting the struggle in the same society as you are living in today. So consider how much temptation Father has had. You can well imagine. Temptation such as, "I want to become a PhD. I want to get more than my masters degree." "I want to become president of this country." "I want to be recognized by the entire world." There were all kinds of temptations, but Father fought his way, finally coming to the one conclusion. Satan used all kinds of weapons trying to have Reverend Moon destroyed by temptation. Satan tempted Father with money, by the power of the world, by women, by false glory and honor and all kinds of things. But worst temptation came in a different level. That temptation came through Father's own parents. They thought, "My son is no good, my son is going the wrong way, I have to bring him back." How painful that was. Father had to think whether God was testing him, whether he was able to give up his own parents or even his own wife or his own children. That was the ultimate test God gave Father. Father withstood all that temptation and was victorious. From the very beginning, the title of "victor" was not given to Father and Mother. This was the goal, and now this has been achieved by a most tearful struggle lasting their entire lives. True Parent's Holy Wedding was held in 1960. From God's point of view how many times has this event occurred? Only once. God has been waiting for this event 6,000 biblical years, but that is symbolic time. Today archaeologists and scientists are saying the earth is 4.5 to 5 billion years old. Scientists say the human species has existed during the last 25 to 50 million years. During that period people have been marrying, children have been born on and on, generation after generation. That is the way history has proceeded. What kind of marriages were those? [False.] Why do you call it false marriage? You know it because all these marriages during this long period of time were born only in the lineage of Satan. There was no appearance of True Parents. History has been so complicated. The first, historical true marriage was conducted in our era, after all of history has passed. That was Satan's life and lineage history. From this point of True Parents blessing, for the first time in human history, God's life and lineage have begun. This new lineage is to convert Satanic life lineage into God centered lineage. When Satan's life lineage is completely demolished, then for the first time, Satan will have no place to act. Where were you born, which parents did you have? Which family tree is yours? Satan's. Your original root is Satan's. You extend from Satan's love, you are connected to Satan's life, love and lineage. There are combined completely into one in your body. You're like a fruit. The fruit includes root, branches and many leaves and flowers. All are connected to a different essence combined into one root. How can I cut off Satan's root completely? Your body, your mind, all your five senses are part of Satan's life and Satan's lineage centering on the root of Satan's love. How can you erase it? From that position, how can you create the power of resurrection? How can you connect to God's power, God's love, life and lineage? This is not so easy. No matter how powerful God may be, these two things cannot be exchanged easily. Think how difficult God's situation is. Do you understand? You are the worst kind of stock. You are like the satanic stock company, made up of all the events of history. You are even worse than Satan in that case. Satan doesn't have a stock, but you do because you multiply. You have all kinds of complicated colors, yellow, pink, red, blue and white, purple and black Satan's color is very clear, either red or black Satan has been pushing a camouflaged color upon you so it doesn't look like Satan. Particularly eye color. Satan can utilize those eyes in so many different ways that you become his victim. There are so many eyes in this world that saw crime, that commit crime, that plan crime, that fire the shot. You think a poison snake is bad, but Satanic people are even worse than the poison snake. You have so many different kinds of tongue. The same tongue can speak so many different kinds of satanic languages. Jesus described people of the satanic realm as the wild olive tree orchard. Satan has a wild olive tree forest which is growing all over the place. If there was no fall what would have happened? Man would have grown centering on God's love, God's life and lineage. Their love would have been forever love, their lineage; forever lineage. God's love and lineage would have been everlasting, with no end. That is the quality of God. This would be what we call a true olive tree. Which are you, a wild olive tree or true olive tree? In order to have a true seed you need to have a true father. A true seed is given by the father. The father is who? The father is the savior. What is the purpose of the messiah's coming? It is not as simple as saying, "He is coming to bring the kingdom of heaven on earth." That is just a symbolic expression. Truthfully speaking the True Father and savior comes bringing the true seed and eliminating the satanic seed. That is the mission of the messiah. God prepared for the day of the messiah. Before the messiah comes, he prepared people through many religions to be ready. Lots of preparation is needed for the surgical operation to take place. Through religion and the prophets God has been creating a controllable wild olive tree. The controllable olive tree orchard is the chosen nation. God will expand that territory wider and wider to reach the entire world. That particular moment came at the end of World War II. Controllable means God can even turn it off and no one would say anything. God wants to graft in the new seed to these trees. At the end of World War II there was the possibility for the entire world to be united under the Christian culture centered upon the United States. The United States was the center, in a way the chosen nation. Restoration could have begun with one stroke. The coming of the messiah could have been revealed at that moment, and by uniting with the messiah, the new seed could germinate and blossom and become a tree. That was the dispensational will of God at that time. Our goal is to become true olive trees. There is one criteria to become a true olive tree. Your love of God must be stronger than any love of the satanic world. Your love of God should be the strongest; nothing else should compare to that. That is the only condition, the only way to become a true olive tree. Do you follow? We call this the salvation process. The Bible describes it as the engrafting process. The true lineage bud will be planted on those wild olive trees, so that they can become true olive trees. That is why Jesus demanded one important criteria, "Only those who love me more than they love their parents, their wife, their children will be worthy of me." With that statement Jesus is denying the entire realm of satanic love and asking all of mankind to fulfill the love of God. The love of Christ is greater than any other love in human society. That is demanded. That particular engrafted bud will live and become a branch and eventually become a tree. This is the way a tree grows. At that point the wild olive tree is already gone and you become a true olive tree. This tree is growing on six thousand year's worth of fertilizer sprinkled by the saints and prophets throughout the ages. An olive is a fruit isn't it? The fruit bore by this tree has absolutely nothing to do with Satan. The fruit absolutely belongs to God. It will be plucked by God and thrown into heavenly storage, that means put into the kingdom of heaven here on earth and thereafter in heaven. It belongs no where else;, there will be no hell. In order to reach this kind of momentum, six thousand years of symbolic biblical history has lapsed. That six thousand years includes the Old Testament, New Testament and Completed Testament era. The Old Testament era called for the sacrifice of the things of creation like lambs and other animals, used as a sacrificial offering to bring forth a new age of the children's era which is the New Testament era. The New Testament era was the time to sacrifice the son of God, who was Jesus Christ, to usher in the parental era or True Parents era. Christianity has opposed this new dispensation so True Parents could not immediately be united with God. Because of the opposition of Christianity all this foundation was nullified. For that reason Father came and in his own right rebuilt this foundation in forty years, indemnifying four thousand years of history. Four hundred and four thousand years have both been indemnified within forty years, the lifetime of our True Father. By doing so the dwelling of God shall come among men. This forty years of Father's adult life includes indemnification of the Old Testament era, the New Testament era and the Completed Testament era. Father is bringing resurrection of the Old Testament era. Father has paid the price for all the mistakes that were made in the Old Testament era as well as the New Testament era and Completed Testament era in forty years. Unification Church history is Father's history of forty years. You'll find elements in it from all three eras. In other words in order to fundamentally expel Satan, for once and for all, Father had to cleanse this complete foundation. Last year Father celebrated his seventieth birthday. This seventy years is actually equivalent to seven thousand years of human history. Father had to indemnify all the wrong doings of the past, starting with Genesis down to Revelation. Father started with Adam's family, Noah's family, Abraham's family, Moses, Jesus all the way up to the present time. All those lives were included in this seventy years. The entire seven thousand years of human mistakes and wrong doing have been indemnified. Furthermore, Father had to indemnify the mistakes committed by the Unification Church itself as well. Because you are the offspring of the false parenthood, even your parent's sin must be eliminated and liquidated, otherwise you cannot be restored into a totally true olive tree. For that reason all the wrong doings and mistakes and short comings of members of the Unification Church also had to be paid by Father. When Judaism didn't do the correct thing, Islam came about. When Christianity did wrong, then communism was brought about. And out of communism, the worst type of communist, Kim Il Sung came out. The amazing thing is that Kim Il Sung, the worst type of communist, is the only one who uses terminology like "Father". All the North Korean people call Kim I1 Sung father. Even without knowing God they are calling him father! But with God, on the other side of the world, we call Father our True Father. There are only two individuals claiming fatherhood. These two fathers are distinctly different. One is a false father, the other is a true father. The false father is shedding the blood of others for his own benefit. He is killing so many people, he is even worse than Saddam Hussein. On the other hand, True Father sheds his own blood for the sake of the salvation of others. You can see that one is the false father and one is the true father; there is 180 degrees difference between the two. Behind True Father there is South America and the United States of America and behind the false father there is North Korea and the Soviet Union. It is like a showdown. If all things had gone right in 1952, if the United States and Soviet Union had listened to Father's message, their division would not have lasted long. The unification of Korea would have come at that time, in 1952 through Father. Which father would have been the one to disappear? [The false father.] However at that time, the United States did not fulfill its responsibility as a Christian nation or chosen nation. So there was a forty year delay or prolongation. Now in 1992, which is next year, Reverend Moon with America and Korea united together behind him is going to accomplish the things that were not done in 1952: win the Soviet Union to our side, isolate the false father and ultimately liberate the false father, Kim I1 Sung. The Soviet Union, North Korea and Red China used to be united completely but now all three nations are divided, there is no unity. The Soviet Union is on the side of the United States now. The cold war is over and the two super powers stand united on one side. China is also trying to win the favor of the United States, so Kim Il Sung is alone. I want you to understand, Father has been engaged in a lonely battle. A lonely battle for what? Father came to the world of death trying to plant the seed of life and bring the world into a renaissance, causing a resurrection into a world of life. This has been the lifelong struggle and fight of Reverend Moon. [Father writes on the board.] Here is Israel and Greece, this is Asia Minor and on the other side is Asia Major, India with Buddhism and Hinduism and China where there is Confucianism. Those areas now called Iraq, Iran, Syria, near the Euphrates river, are in the region of the original human civilization. Those areas began another religious sphere which is Islam. You can see Christianity was born in the middle of all these major religions. Since there were twelve tribes and Israel could not unite into one, the Roman Empire was able to occupy Israel. In the Middle East, they are the offspring of one of the twelve different tribes of Israel. They are supposed to be one, but they are divided. Israel therefore, was kicked out of their area. Judaism was so divided, so Islam conquered the entire Middle East. During the time of Jesus Christ, if all the tribes of Israel had united and supported him, what would have happened? The power of the Roman Empire would have dwindled. In the meantime, Christianity would not have moved westward, it would have moved eastward, uniting with Buddhism and Confucianism. If anything happened, like the Roman Empire trying some monkey business, all the powers would have gone against them and Rome would have fallen. In other words Christianity was to move eastward. Therefore, unification of all the different religions would have occurred centering on the coming of the messiah two thousand years ago. Religion always represents the world of the mind. The political realm represents the world of the body. First of all religious unity, would occur centering upon the messiah, then external unity, which is political unity would occur. God's original plan was to have Jesus Christ be victorious, then unite with all other major religions of the east, then move to the west influencing the Roman Empire, which was a polytheistic country at that time. It had a very barbaric religion. Father is now working on this. He is unifying the religions of the world. Father is now fulfilling what God intended to be done two thousand years ago. Do you follow? The religious problem is not the only thing that needs to be addressed to bang the world into peace. There is also the political situation, the economic situation, social situation, many areas. In other words the messiah does not come just to deal with the religious realm. That is the beginning, the foundation, but everything else shall also be touched. Amen! Two thousand years ago Jesus could not accomplish these things because of the crucifixion. Not by his fault, but because of the faithlessness of the chosen people the crucifixion came. What Father is doing now is bringing about the harmonization of religion through the Assembly of World Religions. The most incredible work has been carried out. Furthermore, Father is working in the peace initiative. Father is also interested in the economic field and technological field. Father has assembled the most advanced computer technology and the most advanced machinery technology. Furthermore Father engages in the artistic and cultural arena. Father is also dealing with the entire academic field and the media world. A world academy has been formed. Father has a media organization, The Washington Times, Insight and World and I. Those are just a few examples; there is much more. There is no area that Father has not touched. Amen! Jesus was crucified on the cross. There were two thieves, one on the left and one on the right. Centering upon the nation, left and right have to be restored. Centering upon Jesus, God planned for Judaism on the right and the Israel nation on the left to unite. The right side thief said God exists, the thief on the left cursed Jesus and said there was no God. If both centered upon Jesus, all that God dreamed of could have been fulfilled. However Judaism and the Israel nation were totally divided. Satan drove a wedge between the two. Judaism and the Israel nation were completely dissipated, gone. Jesus was crucified. His physical death was the most incredible tragedy. He entered into heaven after suffering an incredible death here on earth. Who shall then receive the blessing in that kind of situation? Barabbas received the blessing at that time and he is always behind God and following until the father fulfills the dispensation. Barabbas is united with Israel and Judaism. The right side thief and the messiah also united. Christianity and Islam became like enemies. Ishmael was the Cain type offspring of Abraham. Who got the real victory in those areas of the middle east? Islam. Abraham had two wives. Because Sarah could not bear the children he took a second wife to have a son. When Sarah was 100 years of age, Isaac was born, but the second wife had a child too. Those two wives were supposed to be united together as one family of Abraham but that was not done. The crucifixion of Jesus followed the same pattern as Abraham's time. Because of his crucifixion, the right and left has been divided, and vertically, upper and lower have been divided. All kinds of divisions occurred centering on the crucifixion. The coming of the messiah is expected within Christianity and Judaism is united in that direction. At the same time on the left side we see them united with Barabbas. This is the tragic and detrimental division. When the second coming of the messiah occurs his first mission is to unite left and right. The messiah is going to unite mind and body on the individual level. The second coming must be the one who overcomes the failure of the times of Jesus Christ. If acceptance of the second coming of the messiah happened immediately after World War II, there would be no communism. However that was not done. Instead rejection of the messiah occurred. So for over forty years Father has had to struggle to lay the new foundation from which he can restore the entire world. During this time modern communism was born. Therefore this cold war era was a time of the struggle between right and left. The fight between the free world and the communist world became very severe. For forty years the false father has enjoyed his false kingship. He has formed the most incredible power base by gunpoint. His power comes from the barrel of a gun. Father's life has been a very severe, suffering, arduous one. There has been so much opposition. Without knowing it, people have been repeating the worst failure of history. Father all by himself, with no one's help, has been working to unite mind and body as well as left and right, marching forward toward restoration of the Old Testament era, New Testament era and Completed Testament era. The Christian foundation which was supposed to be useful became totally useless, therefore Father had to lay the entire foundation himself. The entire world rejected Father as an individual. Father created a family which the entire world family rejected. Under those circumstances Father has been step by step moving forward through the years. Particularly the forty years of Japan's occupation of Korea was a painful period. Father overcame all those difficulties. The polarization of the east and west during the cold war era occurred because of the Korean war. The Korean peninsula was divided. South Korea has been completely on the side of the free world and North Korea is completely on the side of the communist world. Sixteen nations came to save South Korea from the invasion of the communist North. Those sixteen nations coming to Korea was consummated during the Olympics in 1988 when athletes from 160 nations came to Korea. 160 nations, including even the Soviet Union united. Father welcomed them and gave them, including members of the KGB, a lot of gifts. At that time Father invited missionaries from 120 nations to come to South Korea. They are Father's offspring. They united with the most elegant of the second generation, the athletes of the Olympics. Father brought them together into unity and gave them tremendous fellowship, tremendous give and take, a wonderful sharing. By doing so those countries and our missionaries were united. At that time Father spent four million dollars for these 160 nations. By doing so it is almost like Jacob embracing his brother with abundant gifts and true love. This was the first time that the strong distinction between left and right were removed from the Olympics. They were united with no boundaries between them. Father came to America in 1971. In 1975 America was defeated in Vietnam. Yes, the US Army could not win the war at that time. At that time anti-communism was virtually dead in America, morale was very low. Carter was president. Father came and boosted up the morale. In 1976 there was a great rally at Washington Monument. In 1978 for the following twelve years, Father completely turned around America's atmosphere. This country changed from a liberal atmosphere to a conservative atmosphere. 1975 was the supreme liberal era of the United States. Five years later, the so called extreme rightist Ronald Reagan was persuaded to run for president. Nobody believed he could become president. Father is the one who in 1980 predicted Father would win, when no one else thought so. Reagan himself could not believe what happened. In 1980 Reagan became president and the conservative movement became top. In 1984 Father was in Danbury. Even from Danbury Father commanded the entire Unification forces. So Reagan reigned in this country for eight years with the Reagan doctrine. But who is the author of the Reagan doctrine? SDI, commonly known as the Star Wars program was not widely supported by Reagan and others in government. General Daniel Graham, the founder of SDI came to Father and asked him for support saying it was a crucial program for the nation's security. Father pledged his support. SDI was promoted and finally the defense department and the White House became convinced it was a good idea. Three weeks later Reagan announced in the State of the Union message that SDI would become part of the national defense program. If SDI was not created at that time, the existence of the Patriot missile would be impossible. The Patriot is an offspring of the SDI program. American people today know how valuable that program is. They say, "Thank God for SDI." thank God for Reverend Moon. Furthermore, Nicaragua was one communist nation which connected North and South America. Even though Cuba is communist it is an island. Nicaragua is strategically located on the mainland. Father was in prison, but at that time said Nicaragua must not be abandoned, the Freedom Fighters must be supported. US Congress abandoned the project, they didn't want to give any money to the Freedom Fighters. So the Washington Times made a special editorial on the front page. You never see front page editorials, but it was published. Many people sent money and letters to Congress and the Senate. The leaders were shaken and knew they had to pass the resolution for support that had already been sent to the trash can. They decided that instead of fourteen million dollars, they would send twenty seven million. That is the money that Father earned for the Freedom Fighters of Nicaragua. Father made a special film on Nicaragua called "Nicaragua is My Home." That film was made by our dear brother Lee Shapiro. His wife is here. Linda, could you please stand up. Lee Shapiro made this film upon Father's order. This film was shown at the White House first. President Reagan wrote a letter of commendation after viewing it. It was shown on PBS, to different localities all around the country and that completely turned around public opinion. Nicaragua today is free. Communism is gone, they have freely elected a president. As soon as Violetta Chommoro became president, she wrote a letter to thank Father. Another heartwarming story was when Lee Shapiro reported to Father about the Nicaragua film, Father said, "We have to push the Soviets out of Afghanistan. You make a movie." Lee Shapiro was completely determined to make a most dynamic movie in Afghanistan. So he traveled there fearlessly. So many people would not go, but he went with the Mujahudeen even to the front line. He himself looked like a Mujahudeen! He grew a beard. His weapon was not a gun, but a movie camera. He was on camel back with all his film taken on the front line. One day coming out of a fight, Soviet helicopters came. Everyone hid in the bushes, but Lee Shapiro realized he had left the film cans on the camel. More important than his life was this exposed film. So he ran trying to get the film, without any fear. The Soviet helicopter gunned him down. It then landed and picked up all that film and took it away to the Soviet Union. Father is now trying to recover it through the KGB. All the Soviet Congressmen who came this last time were told to bring us back that film. In any case, because of Lee Shapiro's effort the Congress unanimously voted him a Medal of Freedom. Father's job is the unification of left and right, but on different levels, the family level, the tribe level, the nation level, world wide level, universal level, cosmic level and God and human beings level. On every level Father is bringing unity. Father united Christian morality and the leadership of this nation. Ever since Father came, since the time of Ronald Reagan, Father has had influence over choosing the right president and Christianity has come to stand more and more on Father's side. This is very important for this country. On the other side, Father is winning over communism because Father's ideology is headwing. That is a beautiful word. Communism has no qualms with headwing. Tonight you will see a film of Father's special meeting with Gorbachev. Father is now educating Russian people, university students, their congressmen, you name it. He is bringing all together into unity. Total indemnification has been accomplished. Total unity has been done. Right now at this time, left and right unite with Father. An amazing phenomena has occurred. All the people on the left, which are the communists, came by the bunch to Reverend Moon and said, "Reverend Moon, you are our ally. You are on our side, aren't you?" Then those from the United States came and said, "No, no, no. Reverend Moon, you are on our side, aren't you?" Fighting has occurred. They are both trying to pull Reverend Moon to their side. Satan is wondering, "What's going on here?" He can't understand what has happened. The battle is over. Father is holding the right side and the left side. When Father turns around, what happens? Father has been so far in the back, but when he turns around, God is in the front. Satan is in the rear. Satan has no territory, no land. Now Saddam Hussein is trying to get the Muslim world to combine into one and fight the Christian world. They want to make a religious war. Father has accomplished all victories, but there comes along one more, trying to hold on, trying to somehow make a final victory for Satan, that is Saddam Hussein. He doesn't have a territory. He is riding on Satan's tail trying somehow to ignite a religious war. He is trying to control the world like past dictators such as Hitler. His ambition is incredible and his appetite is insatiable. He is trying to use Islam as his weapon. He is pretending himself to be a very devout follower of Islam. There are many good Islamic people, but he is not one of them. He is just using it. He poses himself with one hand on the sword and one hand on the Koran, saying, "I really believe in God." If you watch his news conferences, he says such things as, "God give me power. I am going to destroy George Bush." All the time he says that. There is no politician that talks about God more than Saddam Hussein! True Islam is a good religion. Mohammed was good prophet. For example, at the Assembly of World Religions, the great leaders of Islam totally united with Father. For example, the president of Syria is usually a boss of state terrorism, he was not a good guy either. But the Grand Mufti, who is the head of the Islam religion in Syria, came to Father at the conference and sent his forty best disciples to the World Mission Center for a forty day workshop. Can you imagine? The Islamic religion states that if its followers go to study some other theology without permission, they should be beheaded. But the Grand Mufti himself selected these devotees and told them to go and listen to Father Moon. They all went home saying. "We arrived with one father, who is the Grand Mufti of Syria and we go home with two fathers. One is the Grand Mufti and one is Father Moon." Islam is not a bad religion, there is only a bad leader like Saddam Hussein, who uses religion as a tool to do evil. That is what Satan is all about. In January 1991, there is another Grand Mufti from Yemen who wanted to send his followers to study the Divine Principle. Only because of the war their arrival has been delayed, but they are coming. The amazing thing is while this group was studying the Divine Principle, seven times during the day they kneel down to worship Allah. Can you imagine? Unification members have a lot to learn from them! So Father is uniting religion. The Grand Mufti said God truly sent Reverend Moon as His prophet and messenger. He said all of Islam has to listen to Reverend Moon and unite with Reverend Moon. The Grand Mufti returned to his country and talked to his president, President Assad who is a terrorist boss, but now Assad has changed. He thought, "Reverend Moon loves our country and cares about our country? Oh, I'd better change! No more terrorism." Not only that, but because of Father's influence through the Grand Mufti Syria joined the United Nations coalition in Saudi Arabia. Initially there was hesitation against a ground war. Now Assad said, "Syrian forces will be the first to invade Iraq." It's incredible what Father has done. In the cold war between America and the Soviet Union, in the war between Islam and Judaism and all other wars, Father is always the mediator, the reconciler. He holds both sides with two hands. Now Father is ready to turn around. What happens? Left becomes right and right becomes left. So, be careful! Father said to the Soviet Congressmen, "If you do right, if you accept God you can even run faster than the United States, which is sleeping. You can take over and go beyond them." Father is making a competition for you. They were so overjoyed by this news. Before this Father sent out our members all over the world. Why? To make preparation. Now we are making a central foundation. After that we will spread out the nation foundation. That is the next step. The free world side, the American side, is already split up. We must protect the free world. This is the providential viewpoint. Do you understand? So all over America many people have now been educated to Father's Godism, headwing ideology and Divine Principle. The CIA and FBI have really been digging to see if Father has some ulterior motive. They have discovered that Father is the best promoter of Americanism. I told them, "No, Father is not promoting Americanism; Father is promoting Godism." The CIA man said, "No, Godism in our language is Americanism." But the terminology they don't understand is True Parentism. We'll teach them that next. Fifteen years ago when Father first came, no matter how many exciting things I told you, your eyes looked like those of a three day old fish. But today I look at your eyes and they are shining like diamonds! It gives Father immense joy and happiness and enthusiasm! Amen! You must remember one thing. The time has come that we can move even Kim I1 Sung, without you knowing, Father has already sent several envoys. Kim I1 Sung cannot reject Father's representatives, but only accept them. Father has the power to move Red China, the Soviet Union, Eastern European countries and Japan too. All this happens because of the truth. Because of the Divine Principle, Godism came. This is not Reverend Moon's property, it came from God as a message of salvation for humanity. That is why all these things are happening. Father is giving all the credit to God, our Heavenly Father. Until now Reverend Moon has been making so much noise all over the world! That is a problem for humanity. Now Father will stop his mouth. Father's mission is all finished. Now in this time it is your turn. Father has been making noise, but now you go back home and make noise. Making noise is the way of resurrecting. Who is going to make a noise from now on? [We will!] Who? [We will!] In which place? In your home. During Father's making noise time your whole family was against you and me. In this time your family members will welcome you. There is no persecution now. There is a very free atmosphere. Do you understand? You had to have strong guts in the past. But now in one moment you can lift up all your relatives. Do you understand? Our relatives think, "Reverend Moon's teaching is too strong." So this time talk in a normal sound. That's good. Sometimes it's good to take food while you are talking. American people like that. They chew gum while they talk. That's a famous tradition here. That's okay! Talking freely, you can expand our missions. If we can go that way, God can follow right behind us. Is that miserable or wonderful? [Wonderful!] Satan's side feels miserable, while on God's side there is a wonderful feeling. How about you? Which side are you on? [Wonderful!] Of course you too are wonderful! After you win over your family you take the blessing, that is your property. Amen! Amen! Amen! At the time of Jesus the providence was not fulfilled. That particular providence in Father's time has been completely fulfilled through the unity with Christianity represented by the office of the president and the citizens of the United States. That is equivalent to the Israelite people and Judaism. In Father's own time he has been completely victorious in uniting all these. Therefore, from now on all Father can do is bring the unity and ultimate victory and peace on earth. America is on the right of the center and on the left are the Soviets, they have now been combined into one. Unification will occur because Father's "ism" is Godism as well as headwing. There is no hesitation towards this unity of which Father is the center. All you have to do is go home and bring your mother and father to heaven on earth and heaven in heaven. What Father has done from the individual starting point, through the family level, tribe level, national level and world level, is to completely unite the divided world. In the spirit of God this was done. After Father has accomplished this much, where should he go? Father should not stay in the United States. Just like you Father is approaching his homecoming. Since all unification has been accomplished, our destiny is to return home. Therefore Father's glorious homecoming is near. Where was the elder son's position and the authority of the parents and kingship lost? Between husband and wife. That was the basic division. And then between children and parents. In other words, every reason and cause occurred within the family. Father has been victorious in these three areas. Restoration has been accomplished and now Father wants to bequeath it to you. First of all you will receive elder sonship, the elder son's restoration. You have the conviction, "I will inherit everything that Father has won." Not only on one level, but on every level including the universal level. Whatever Father has restored, you must have the conviction to inherit. Why can you do this? Because you and True Parents have a true love relationship that will go on for eternity. There is no end to it. Therefore you are entitled to inherit. So when the elder son's position was restored it means there is no more struggle between Cain and Abel. The struggle of history is over. As restored elder son you are returning to your hometown and you are going to restore your clan, your parents, your brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles and cousins. You must become a tribal messiah. That is what was lost in the Garden of Eden, in Adam's family. Father has restored all this and now Father has bequeathed it to you. You are going to restore this elder son's position and the True Parent's authority and the kingship as well. You have to expel Satan from around you. Satan has no business with you, no deals with you. Don't negotiate with Satan. Why have we worked to win the elder son's right? We want to escape Satan's world. Absolutely we need the elder son's right. Is that clear? Next is the restoration of parents. Why? Your position is Jesus' position, not Adam's position. Adam was fallen. You need to restore that course, and then second parents appear. Indemnify Adam's fallen position. Our parents are in Adam's position. Do you understand? The third Adam is True Parents. We must inherit True Parents authority. You stand in Jesus' position. You have a family and a position higher than that of Jesus. You cannot connect to the original Adam's position. In which place can you find the foundation of Adam's position? Only in your home, where you were born, in your family. How can your parents be restored? It's a problem. If the family doesn't take the way of restoration, you don't have a native place. You don't have a hometown. Hometown means the place where the parents settle. You don't have a hometown if your parents are not restored. So Father says parentship can be restored. After that you can find your hometown. Our parents living place is our hometown. This is what makes our foundation. All humanity has a native town. Father's native town is only one place, Chong Ju. That is Father's hometown. Chong Ju is not your hometown. How can everyone, all humanity call Chong Ju their hometown? You cannot do that. It's like one root and many small branches. The big branch is your hometown. All people have a hometown, one country to which they are connected. So we need parentship. Within parentship, Adam is automatically king. The original Adam is king, so if you accomplish parentship, you accomplish kingship too. Adam fell and lost his place so Jesus came. Jesus tried to establish the second parentship. How can he restore the original Adam's foundation? They were not successful during their time on earth. They lost the right way and so passed away. So Adam came again to go the restoration course. Adam is king, Jesus is king. And what was the king to establish? A family, not nation. All those three rights equal home. Not the country of America, not Korea, but go back home. Do you understand clearly? So we have to go back home. How can we take back the son's right? How can we take back the parents right and kingship? We have to go back to the original point. That is centering on the true love world. In that world is God's ideal of creation. That's all. That kind of progress must take place all throughout our whole life. That is the heavenly lifestyle. Now that's clear, right? Father would like to conclude with one more point. Everything is harvested as you sow. In the beginning there was God, Adam and Eve and three archangels. Eve was taken by Satan. Adam followed Eve. And God has to follow behind humankind. Who is leading the march? Satan has been leading the march of history. Satanic individuals, satanic families, satanic tribes, satanic nations and a satanic world have been created. But God cannot follow things that have the satanic element. God cannot have anything to do with them. So God used religion to divide things in half and restore God's portion. What happened after World War II? Initially we received the false seed. The true seed shall be received only after the restoration has been accomplished to the point where a True Father appears. We are headed to that particular goal. Satan also created his own lineage. Eve became Satan's wife in a way, Satan's servant, and Cain and Abel came under Satan. This is the way history was sown, therefore it is the way history shall be restored. England is Eve. The island nation will represent women. England is an island nation and it has always been longing for a continent. A continent represents man. Then Eve gave birth to another nation, an Abel nation. That is the United States of America. You know the US was born out of the United Kingdom, isn't that true? France is Cain. England and France have been enemy nations. At the time of the second world war, Eve was in the center and Cain and Abel, the France and the United States united together. In other words, God restored the particular way history was sown through World War II. The United Kingdom, France and the United States became Allied nations, united together. By doing so Cain and Abel and Eve were united. That particular restoration occurred. That was the purpose behind the allied nations. What happened on Satan's side? Those were the Axis nations. Japan was the Eve nation on Satan's side. Germany was satanic Abel and Italy was satanic Cain. Japan, a small island country, took over China, and Malaysia, Singapore and Indochina, the Philippines, all the way to the south, they completely overran all those areas. So Germany was looking at this, thinking, "Little Japan is going to have a hegemony over the world, I cannot let Japan govern the world. No, we can do it." This is what Hitler thought. Singapore and Malaysia were English territory. They fought but soon after were immediately occupied. Germany saw Japan take those two countries with no problem, so they began to think they could do the same in Europe. Japan really strengthened Germany, giving ambition to Hitler and to Mussolini in Italy. France is always going back and forth, it is not stable, sometimes thinking this way, sometimes that way. This was the lineup fighting in World War II. The Satanic power won a seventy percent victory. Initially it looked as though they would win. They were victorious on the formation and growth level, up to the perfection stage, but in the final stages of the battle of World War II, the Allied nations completely demolished the satanic side. History is moving toward Asia. The future will be occurring in Asia. Initially Italy was chosen as the nation because of the Vatican centering upon the Pope. But that was not successful. Then centering upon the United Kingdom, there was also a failure. Then centering upon the United States there was also a failure. So the United States is now moving toward Asia. So America has to find in Asia the equivalent to Great Britain and equivalent to Italy. Japan is equivalent to the United Kingdom and the Korean peninsula is equivalent to Italy. The Pope was the Christian center with the mission to unite Christianity, but that lineup has been failing. So now the dispensation moves to the East and a new line up of nations has occurred. Initially Christianity began from the continent of Asia Minor, then moved to the Italian peninsula and the Roman Empire. Then it moved to England, an island nation. Then it traveled to the United States and from there to another island nation, Japan. Finally it is moving to Korea and then Korea moves to the Asian continent which is the original beginning point. In other words one complete circle has been created. Korea is exactly like Italy in Europe. Just like the time the Roman Empire was governing Israel, by the same token today's modern day Roman Empire is the United States and it is in a way governing the Korean peninsula. But this time America is standing on God's side. The Romans were standing on Satan's side and that is why Jesus could die on the cross. In this time the messiah doesn't have to die on the cross. Do you understand? We have a free world, with freedom of religion, freedom of speech, everything. The United States restored the Eve nation. What is the United States going to do next? Find Adam. Eve, Cain and Abel all divided initially, but World War II united them. Therefore, after the United States discovered a new Eve which was Japan, then a new Adam must be found. This unity has come. In the fall Eve, Cain and Abel combined into one and created the fallen world. In this time all this is restored. Eve, Cain and Abel will occupy a unified position. What is the Adam country? (Korea.] That is the second Adam country. That is Korea. Who is Adam? [Father.] Who is True Father? [You.] That is Reverend Moon. There are Christian missionaries in Korea. If they had united with Adam it would have been alright, everything is finished. The Korean Christian world was in Eve's position on the national level. If they could combine into one, automatically Father would have been in the center. Automatically, through the American missionaries Father would have been connected to the American Christian world. Do you understand? If many American missionaries welcomed me and understood Divine Principle clearly, then the American Christian world would have been restored. We have that kind of powerful element. In three days a person's old concepts can completely fall down. But the missionaries came against me. Why? Because they think at the time of the second advent the messiah is supposed to be coming down on the clouds. Think about that. That is completely opposite of the teaching of Reverend Moon. The second advent is the same way as the first; he will be born from a woman. That misunderstanding is a problem. They didn't understand that, so they could not remain and follow. Only Reverend Moon remained alone. The rest were chased out to the wilderness world. Satan occupied everything. How can we restore the lost world? Father had to pick out Eve's country. That is Japan. In this time Satan occupied God's Eve side position. Satan grasped America, England and France. Japan, Germany and Italy traded places. Father had to choose Eve's nation, Cain's nation and Abel's nation. That was Father's situation. Father had to take Japan, in the past it had been Satan's most loved nation. Japan was dedicated to the female God. That is definitely Satanic Eve's position. So Father had to take that worst Eve's position. Germany was Satan's most loved Abel. Why choose Italy? Even though the United States failed, God still used it one more time. Why was this exception made? Because the United States represents the Christian nation. It is a chosen nation, the second Israel. God lost the Christian nation and Reverend Moon lost the foundation from which he could launch his work. The Judeo-Christian world was the foundation which was lost. That means the third Adam completely lost the foundation on which he was to stand. So sad. Again, America had to be chosen. Who chose America? Not God. It was chosen by me. I had to take the responsibility to save America again. That is the point where I was standing in order to choose again the America nation. God lost England and France. So Father chose as Eve's country Japan, and he also chose Germany, a European nation. Father combined those two and brought them into America. How can we again save the American position? That is the reason Father gave up Korea to come to the United States and why he has been working centered on the United States for sixteen years guiding the world providential movement. Father has received nothing but persecution from this country. Was there any American who ever welcomed Reverend Moon in this country? There is no country that has welcomed Reverend Moon. The United States rejected Father. Great Britain and France opposed Father. Germany, Japan and even Korea have opposed Father. Even though Father already made this kind of decision, designating certain nations for a certain mission, he has not yet completely won this nation. For that reason Satan wants to protect these nations from Reverend Moon. He says, "No, no, no, you cannot take Japan away. You cannot take the United States, Great Britain or Germany away." In order to save the United States, Father brought seven different enemy nationalities to this country and let them work to save America. That is incredible. Father has given his entire energy to the United States because it represents the center of the entire Christian world. So our members from all those enemy countries, Japan, Korea, the United States, Germany, France, Italy and Great Britain, all those people have come together and put their shoulders together investing their entire energy to save this nation of Christianity. That is the work Father has been conducting for sixteen years. The United States, the country that Father has been putting his entire effort into, which gave Father only opposition and rejection, has now been won over. Father has step by step won the victory. If Father was not involved in this country there would be no such thing as today's freedom in the Soviet world. All the events taking place in Eastern Europe would not be happening. Because of the Christian revival and the correct political system in this country that Father created, because of that we even have the Soviet Union and Eastern European countries coming to our side. They are gratefully coming to Father. An incredible new day has dawned. In the history of mankind, it has never happened that enemy nations got together to give their entire energy to saving another enemy. Only under Reverend Moon's great leadership could that happen. With his ideology alone is this possible. Therefore Satan has completely lost and is looking for some way to counter attack. Satan has no way to directly confront Father or our movement. For that reason Satan is trying to confuse the environment and confuse society. That is why people think their best friend is drugs, alcohol, tobacco and free sex. They live with a vain glorious attitude, embracing materialism, food, selfishness and homosexual love. They search for false honor. Morally, Satan has become so active among young people. They become Satan's victim and prey every day because Adam and Eve, as teenagers, under the shadow of a tree, fell. In the end of history the same thing is happening all over the world, particularly in the United States of America. Young men and women are falling inside cars and under the shadow of a tree. This is the way Satan is creating an environmental hell. America is the worst hell on the earth. How can they recover? By centering on Reverend Moon and our church. There is only one movement able to counter and destroy the satanic weapon. We will absorb Satan's world and use it as fertilizer. Do you understand? We are growing up fast. When all the worst phenomena disappear, immediately God's hopeful nation will appear. If we overcome these adverse conditions Father said the heavenly kingdom will be dawning immediately. The New Yorker, on the corner of 8th and 34th, is the place where New Yorkers should be safe. This is the place where the new moral revolution should be launched. We're going to wipe out fallen and dirty New York. By the United States of America restoring Adam which is Korea and restoring Japan which is Eve, and also Germany as the archangel, the United States is the Abel archangel, these four nations working together, what will happen? Within this power we have the right economic power to restore this world. We have the right political system which shall be restored for the entire world and religious freedom. Economically speaking, the Eve nation, Japan has become advanced. Fallen Eve, through Cain and Abel, took all God's things away to Satan's world. Now in restoration, the new Eve which is Japan and the two archangels, Abel, America and Cain, Germany, come together and restore the wealth which was lost to Satan and bring it back to God. This team is for one purpose to unite with the Adam country. Adam's country is going to be politically more important than any other country in the Orient. Unification of North and South Korea is pending. Only one person could bring this about, that person is none other than Reverend Sun Myung Moon. This kind of line up and unity will be seeded with true love. It will grow so fast and grow so quickly that it will be harvested within seven years. True seeds will be sown. True seeds can only be given by one person, the True Father. That is happening now. Ultimately the True Father will unite these countries. Korea is divided at the moment with True Father in the south. In the North there is a satanic, false father. There are three archangels, the Soviet Union, China and America. It used to be the Soviet Union and China were Satan's archangels; only America was on God's side. But now both of them are changing. In the beginning of history, God, Adam, and Eve and the three archangels, six entities, initiated history. That history will be restored on a national basis in the last days. That day is at hand. The final and ultimate mission of the messiah, which our True Father is going to bring, is the unity of the fatherland. In North Korea, Kim I1 Sung has been absolutely isolated. The archangel, the Soviet Union abandoned the false father and came to the True Father's side. China also has come to the True Father's side. Kim I1 Sung is all by himself. It is very cold for him. North Korea is desperate trying to win some kind of power, so they are now wooing Japan. They are also trying to give a special wink to the United States. They are trying to win friends, but it will never happen. But Japan has already decided who will be her Adam. Japan never goes to North Korea. The United States is the Abel archangel, it will never go to the North Korean side. Father laid the foundation already. Japan is made of five major islands. When you look at it is almost like a naked woman's body. Japan just bares everything. This naked woman is so attractive that America, the Soviet Union and China all want to propose to her. But in Korea, there is Reverend Moon. It is the Adam country. All these three archangels are looking at this one woman, but Adam cannot lose Eve. Eve has already decided. Adam has already decided Japan is going to be Eve. In order not to cut the relationship between Korea and Japan, Father united the second generation of Japan and the second generation of Korea in international marriage. This never happened in history. Father already did this last year, but this year Father is now bringing the United States, Soviet Union and China and is scolding them saying, "You archangels listen to Adam and come to me." Father is assembling all the archangels on God's side so they don't look at the naked woman anymore. Father wants to give a detailed lecture about this but it takes about thirteen hours. However you are smart, so Father could make a long story short today. At the same time you study Divine Principle so you know all this. In a way Father's life has been like walking through history. Starting with Adam and Eve, step by step he has been reliving Adam's time, Noah's time, Abraham's time, the Christian world time and now the world situation time. All the providential mistakes of the world have been restored. Father won the complete victory. There is no place to hide anymore, Father is like the bright sun shining. He has been completely lifted up among mankind. The word "victorious" is usually used as an adjective. It means Satan's stir up place is still remaining. That is why I don't like to hear the words "victorious man," I like "victor". All the nations are shouting "Mansei!" There is only one thing Father can do, that is his glorious homecoming. Is anybody now ready to inherit Father's victory, so you may also become victors, go home and become a tribal messiah? Those who are willing to suffer, but a glorious suffering which will be short because there is no persecution anymore, you shall be welcomed and lifted up like Father. You shall be truly victorious as sons and daughters of True Parents and sons and daughters of God. Those who do that lift both hands up and say Amen! Amen! Amen! All blessed couples, you go to your homecoming. That is a very important message to you. In your home there must be True Parents picture. That is the only way you can invite the blessing of the spirit world. They will come to assist you and bring you miracle after miracle. Particularly when you are dealing with your own clan, your entire ancestry in the spirit world will come down to assist your work. Centering on True Parents picture, blessed couples will experience one miracle after another. Believe it, it will happen. Until now the spirit world has done very little for the sake of your own dispensation because they thought they were Abel and you were Cain. But Father restored the elder son's position and you have become the elder son. Spirit world has now become Cain, at the same time second son so they have to come down and assist you. Spirit world will make you one, make your whole family one, make your clan one, make your community and nation one. Satan is automatically pushed out. This is the time to quickly go to your home and restore that territory for God and True Parents. Unless you stake your territory now, you lose all your territory in the future. So many wise, clever and ambitious people will come in and push you aside and try to take your territory. Christianity cannot be idle. Do you know why? Communism is no longer communism. Their attempt to study Father's ideology is incredible, they will take over the Christian blessing. You are creating a new seed now. Seeds don't talk but there are so many modern communication systems like television and video tapes and all kinds of equipment which is available for your teaching. All these things are at your disposal. Father is giving you this instruction today and in the meantime, don't try to look for where Father is. This is the time to plant the seed. Until then you have no time to worry about where Father is. When all the seeds are coming out, then you look for Father because then you have something to show him, something to be proud of. Restoration of the elder sonship, restoration of the true parentship and restoration of kingship will all be done in your family and tribe. Blessed couples, you can do this in your hometown. By doing so the whole place will come under your domain, God's true love domain. Those who listen to Father and want to fulfill every word of Father's and obey him, stand up. Those who pledge to Father that every word Father has spoken shall be fulfilled raise both of your hands. God bless you!
