God's Will Which We Must Untangle

If we want to clarify ourselves completely and stand in a perfectly secure position, then we must resolve all relationships from our old environment and make an absolute relationship with the new value.

We must make an absolute relationship with the world of heartistic ideology. We must make that kind of determination while we are alive on this earth and claim it as God's, humanity's, and our own. That would be the greatest hope and mission of humankind.

God laments that humanity, whom God personally created, did not unite with the heavenly value, did not harmonize with the value of cosmic existence, and did not become one who could praise the absolute relationship from a secure position.

This is the lamentation of God and human history, and it remains a condition of lamentation in our minds.

Our mind unconsciously desires to sing about that absolute relationship, about that happiness, and about the ideology of liberty and peace. Even though that is the wish of both our mind and body, no one has fulfilled such a world with their mind and lived in such an environment with their body. This is proven by history, by your lifestyle, and by your life.

When we analyze and criticize ourselves objectively, we are certainly not happy people. If we are miserable, we must be miserable for you, for humanity, and for society.

If we do not have a solution to our problem and a method of replenishing ourselves, then we cannot remain in a secure place from which to glorify the absolute value. In religious terms, we call this “living in the secular, sinful realm of the fallen world.”

The final hope of humanity is to become the center of harmony, which respects its value as the representative of all things and can move together with the world of cosmic beings. The final hope is to achieve the absolute standard by which the Creator God is moved to be present.

If God's dispensational will exists, finding such a being would be the final purpose of His dispensation. If a stream of history exists, then its purpose would be the building of a world in which all individuals are connected.

When we look at ourselves, we are connected to a certain world of relationships. Our existence today did not start from ourselves; it is connected to our past relationships and our era. Moreover, we are destined to have future relationships.

How then would we explain the intricacies of our past relationships, our relationship to our era, our future relationship, and our relationship to the spirit world?

Philosophers should strive to explain this; religions should strive to solve this.

Conscientious and heartistic individuals of character should have this kind of ideology and assert it; only then are they qualified to possess new hope and a new ideology in front of history, the present era, and the future. Only then can they represent that value.

However, ever since the beginning of human history, no one has presented themselves as the substantiation of such value to humanity. No one has sung together with the cosmos and glorified the cosmic joy.

God's purpose, hope, and the ideology of creation were to find and establish this kind of person.

Why was God unable to present the condition of such an ideology and the experiential emotion that we long to find and connect with our hearts to the human world?

Why were none of the great people of history able to introduce this kind of situation? We realize it is because human history did not become the foothold that could hasten the world of goodness in which the original essence and the original nature are harmonized.

We should know that our society does not have the proper conditions for establishing the substantiation of the ideology of goodness and for praising and cultivating such a value. History and society do not harmonize with our ideological world. They are actually against it.

For that reason, a certain event, a certain new ideology, or a certain assertion must come forth to resolve this contradictory and conflicting situation. Humanity cannot reach the ideological world that can only be understood by our original mind and heart as they are now; therefore, a certain new ideology must come forth to present the direction.

That ideology must possess all the historical and environmental conditions if it is to change all that is contradictory and conflicting.

God has been stubbornly pioneering one aspect of history in which the masses did not take an interest: religion.

Religion has not followed the trend of history and has maintained the singular path that went against the course of history. It has developed a conditional foundation that has worked to foster the concept of holistic goodness in the background of history.

Had God not prepared that foundation of relationship and the conditional environment in the course of history as He developed the direct relationship with humankind, then He would not be able to have any relationship with us today. Had He not accomplished it, He would not have any relationship with our conscience today.

Religion has developed through historical relationships and has prepared and advanced the foundation in the environment from a position that went against contemporary society.

I also advanced from a position that could not harmonize with reality and went against the trend of this age. However, if religion does not harmonize with society until the end, the garden of happiness, freedom, and peace for which God, humanity, and the whole cosmos long cannot be constructed in the dispensational last days; such an ideology cannot be established.

If God is driven out, then the standard of absolute goodness in our conscience would also be driven out. Therefore, absolute goodness also must pass through the process of historical relationship if it is to make a relationship with historical humankind. For that reason, God has worked the dispensation in this way.

God has waged a movement to liberate individuals from their entangled history and their adherence to their culture. In other words, God has been toiling to disentangle us until now.

Human history started not from goodness but from evil. Evil started first. The communists assert the theory of dialectical materialism and explain history through the theory of thesis-antithesis-synthesis. However, that is not the truth.

The assertion that from a thesis, a conflictive antithesis emerges and produces something new (a synthesis) through the process of struggle is incorrect. The proper assertion should be this: since something untrue (antithesis) exists, a true form (thesis) should emerge and harmonize to produce something new (synthesis).

The developmental process of history has been this: since history started from evil, something new (a thesis) must confront that evil, must come forth and reconcile evil.

Such a time is the end of history, the end of religion, the end of humanity's hope, and the end of the heavenly dispensation.

Therefore, God has suffered and toiled to reform people who are entrenched in their wrong habits and narrow-minded traditions in their various environments.

We should be grateful to Heavenly Father for guiding us from the time of our historical ancestors to today.

God has been working to disentangle knotted human history. God is working to transform it because human history did not harmonize with the ideology of goodness and instead became connected with the illicit content of the fall.

God's dispensation has the will to transform the wrongful history. For that purpose, He has sought to transform the individual, the family, the people, the nations, and the world. You should remember this point.

Therefore, my topic today is “God's Will, Which We Must Untangle.” We must remember that God will continually fight until the day this world is completely untangled from the position of denying all the tangled and knotted relationships of history.

We must untangle God's will. God's will is to reform history. If we observe history, all the past sovereignties were gradually destroyed by reform movements. That process continued until the present form of democracy.

In other words, in the medieval age, God liberated the serfs, liberated the feudal society, destroyed the monarchic states, and established today's form of democracy.

God has worked to advance the reform movement toward the standard of the whole, representing the state, the world, and the ideology; the individual representing the whole; and at the same time, the whole representing the individual, and the whole unable to ignore the individual and the individual fully able to confront the whole.

That, however, has not moved to harmonize with the direction of history but has gone against it. For that reason, two major streams are confronting each other in this historical period of the last days: one is communism, and the other is democracy. Communism and democracy are confronting each other.

From historical evidence, the democratic camp belongs to God's side, for it moves upon the foundation of God's dispensational will.

What about communism?

It is the camp that moves upon the materialistic external foundation, and it goes against what is allowed in the human world.

These two camps have been spearheading worldwide reform movements. They are professing the reform movements on the world level. Now these two camps will crash into each other, and that is the time when what is right or wrong, correct or incorrect, will be decided.

When we discuss the value of a person, we cannot evaluate them as a great person merely based on their external appearance. By what do we evaluate a person? The standard should be his conscience and worldview.

We discuss someone's character according to the depth to which their heart is connected to their conscience and worldview. This applies not only to the character of a person but also to the ideology. If an ideology is founded upon a certain external form only, then it will not satisfy a human being.

A human being does not become satisfied only by external things. When we feel happy, we do so only when the internal condition of happiness is satisfied. That is the original nature of a human being.

Therefore, when the ideology or the worldview, which has a materialistic foundation and emerged out of the reality of the present society, is introduced to humanity, which ultimately moves toward the highest goodness, it will not be able to connect to humanity in the end.

Therefore, now humanity must recognize the existence of the Divine, move their conscience according to the movement of the Divine, and establish an ideology and a worldview based upon that conscience.

We know well that without having the ideology and the worldview that uphold peace, happiness, and love and that contain the original essence of unconditional sacrifice, without the human being sensing and experiencing goodness automatically through the conscience, humanity cannot establish the condition of happiness, the ideology, and the worldview of happiness in the human world.

History has moved to a time when nationalism is passing away and globalism must stand, representing the whole.

The world should move toward a place where a single organization or person does not rule the world, but all people from an equal position claim the world as their own, the sovereignty as their own, and the worldview as their own, within the democratic system. God has been opening and will open history to reach such a state. He is working in this manner.

When we look back at God's dispensation, He has been working in the internal aspects from a position that goes against the trend of that period. God has been working to unify the people of different nationalities by setting a general direction of goodness and guiding the whole movement toward that direction.

God unified the people of different nationalities by establishing a new form of religion that could mediate and move them toward unity.

If we look at religion from that perspective, Christianity is in the leading position among many religions. The history of Christianity, which represented God's dispensational will and lasted through the process of reform and revolution of human history, prepared the content that can move the present world and become a hopeful foundation for the future.

When we understand this, we can understand what God's love is. Why?

God did not permit the religious people who were responsible for God's will and His dispensation to form a relationship with the world, for God had to reform the ideologies, the worldviews, and the national traditions as human history progressed.

Those religious people were in lonely, poor, and miserable positions from the perspective of their period; however, it was the genuine love of God that prevented and led them, knowing the history and its process of reform.

God allowed the people of the Old Testament to come to Him through the Law and made the people of the New Testament come to Him through the faith that advocates character.

Just as the Old Testament period ended with the advent of Jesus, the New Testament period will also end when the Lord comes again. In other words, religion also moves toward a form that can accommodate the reform-minded historical viewpoint.

Among many of God's dispensational programs, how to spread the major religions, such as Christianity, Buddhism, Confucianism, and Hinduism, would be an important issue.

If God has presented the history of reform and liberation, then the period that centered upon and venerated the church leader should end. Just as God waged the struggle to enlighten the feudal society that served the feudal lords, in the last days, a religion is needed that allows equal value to the followers as well as the esteemed church leaders.

God will search for a people of character who can transcend all denominations and sects. Wouldn't that be true? Only then will God's dispensation of liberation be concluded in the historical last days.

The Christians, now and in the past, have regarded other religions as inferior.

However, if their attitude does not change, then a million-fold effort would be required to open their mind when the time comes for a new day.

Combining everything from the past is not the way; however, all should be resolved as one and become open in the end. The one who shows open-mindedness to history, ideology, worldview, and our mind will be on the side of God. The religion led by that kind of person will be the religion that all humanity will worship.

Therefore, if Christians today realize God's dispensation has been moving toward reform and openness, then stretching and opening their limited concept of faith would be their most urgent task. At the same time, they would have the responsibility to reform and uncover all the general conditions of their society to make these acceptable to God.

Wouldn't that be so?

Religion and politics have been separated until now, but they will merge from now on. The Catholic kingdom of the Vatican will establish its political form in the not-so-distant future.

The time will come when it will fight against the system that asserts a different ideology and worldview. Wait and see.

For these reasons, the direction of reform and openness has been divided into two main directions in history: one is right, the other left. These directions, however, should not be divided without limit and become destroyed; they should be guided, centering on one common purpose, to the point where they would need each other.

In other words, we should know that the purpose of division into the right and the left is not destruction, but unity into a complete one. This is true not only in the area of ideology but also in the area of religious worldview.

For Christianity, which claims to be a world religion, and for the Christians who claim to have that kind of value system, the question is to what extent they can open their minds and their denominations and be flexible.

There will come a time when God will proclaim this to every religion, denomination, and the believers at the forefront of the last days. The time will surely come.

When we observe Christianity today, it is tied down to certain forms and concepts, just as the Catholic Church was bound by certain rituals and forms. She cannot stand in front of God if she is entrenched in such rituals and forms.

The person of character who subjugates the formality and ritual may stand in front of God, but the one who is subjugated by those things cannot. That is why Luther insisted that we should abolish formality and unnecessary concepts and return to God by faith alone, centering on the Bible.

Those who lean on the words, those who are subjugated by the words, those who are restricted by the words, and those who move by the words cannot become God's children.

Jesus was the one who could subjugate the Word and those who could give the Word. Those who can stand in his place can become God's children. God is demanding such people.

For what are we all, regardless of being Protestant or Catholic?

We need the words of the Bible, but we also need the substantiation of the word, which is the core.

That means we need the person of Jesus. We should long for that one person. Words may pass us by, but the one thing that should not pass us by is the Subject of the word.

It is not the completion of the Bible.

It is not the completion of the words. It is the one substantiation that passes through the world and that can control the world. The final purpose is the Lord of the Second Advent, i.e., the standard of the hope of Christianity.

Moreover, that substantiation is the standard of hope not only for Christianity but also for Buddhism, Confucianism, or any other religion. The perspective of that one substantiation might have been different, but the content they testified to and introduced was the same.

This is evident by the standard of character that must be met for that one substantiation, regardless of the kind of religion or denomination.

When we look carefully at the six-thousand-year history, the Old Testament Age was the age of law, and the New Testament Age was the age of faith. Shortly, the Completed Testament Age, which will fulfill God's will, should come.

The vertical history has progressed in that manner. The age when a certain system or sovereignty will move the whole will pass away. It should change at the age when individuals will transfer sovereignty and the system.

It is the same in Christianity. When we observe Korean Christianity, it looks as though it is an organization for the ministers, where the believers exist for the ministers.

Original Christianity, however, was not such. It should be an organization for the believers where the ministers exist for the sheep. Therefore, the age of the minister will pass by. It will be gone. It should be driven away. It cannot be left alone.

God is working in that way. God is breaking this apart. If the age of the minister passes by, then the age of the presbyter is coming. Famous so-and-so presbyters appeared now; then, it changed into the age of the deacon. Therefore, so-and-so deacons are showing up. If the age of the deacon passes away, what age will come?

We are entering the age of the ordinary believer.

The historical last days and the dispensational last days will come equally to all people. The denominations representing a certain period are moving toward the equal standard. God's dispensational history searched for a person who upholds absolute value and who can prepare the holistic value in front of the one standard, which holds the view that Jesus, the ministers, and the fellow believers exist for me.

How will the Korean church change? It will be as I predicted. Please wait and see.

What is the thing we must cry out to the Korean church, to the world church?

The authority of the church leaders should decline, and equality should be established. The world's religions should become unified. That is the reason for the advent of so-and-so world organizations, so-and-so associations, and so-and-so Christian associations.

Now is the time for us, the ordinary believers, to take responsibility. Isn't this so?

This is true if we look at history. The Old Testament was the time when God personally moved the dispensation, and the New Testament was the time when Jesus and the Holy Spirit moved the dispensation.

This time of the last days is the time for us to move the dispensation. With our hands, we should push God's dispensation. We no longer need a life commanded by certain church leaders. We should possess the value of our life, which can enjoy equality with the value of the world level.

We, the young people, should rise against denominationalism in the reality of the Christian church today and cry out for the unity of ordinary believers. Ordinary believers should unite and drive out all the corrupted and unrighteous church leaders.

You should know the time is calling for such an action. In the past, certain sovereigns, monarchs, or lords acted in place of God.

However, were they God?

Should only those people act to represent God?

No, it should not be that way. All people were born with the flesh and blood of God; therefore, they are the children of God.

The democratic form came about for that reason. Democracy granted the right to be the sons and daughters of God and drove the reform of history. It was opening everything.

History has progressed until today in the direction of reform and opening. The problem is how to resolve it from now on. History, dispensation, and religion are being opened and moving toward the form of equality.

World history is moving in this way. In these conditions, the problem of today's politicians, historians, and religious leaders is how to mediate the world that is moving in that direction. How to resolve this?

God has been toiling for six thousand years to liberate humanity from the history of sin. God has persevered through the sacrifice of countless holy people and even the sacrifice of His only son, whom He so loved.

However, Christians today are ignorant of the heavenly mission to change the world into a new, ordered form. Humanity today does not know. No religion or denomination realizes this. Society and religion are moving in this direction. What will happen in the last few days? We must now change what must be changed.

Jesus said, "Do not think that I have come to bring peace on earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword." (Matthew 10:34)

It was a wonderful proclamation. The people of Israel considered the Messiah to be the king of peace, the Savior who would redeem the sins of all people, but Jesus announced this surprising proclamation. It was a single proclamation that violated everything that existed in the aspects of society, nation, family, and personal life.

He then spoke,

"For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and a man's foes will be those of his own household." (Matthew 10:35-36)

How can this be?

Moreover, he continued,

"He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; and he who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. (Matthew 10:37-38)

Jesus then further stated, "He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for my sake will find it." (Matthew 10:39)

These words are certainly the greatest contradiction of the viewpoint of that period.

Two thousand years have passed since the time of Jesus. If we understand the time of Jesus as the consolidating and unifying period of dispensation, then the words spoken at that time should be fulfilled in the last days.

All the unsolved passages of the 66 books of the Bible should be resolved in the last few days.

The entangled world, the entangled sovereignty, the entangled society, family, and individual should all be untangled in the last days. What will happen to me then? You must think about this.

Jesus said, "Love me more than anyone."

It was indeed a most revolutionary statement. In this statement, the concept of loving one's parents, loving one's children, and loving one's husband or wife is never mentioned.

God recognizes that this world is a fallen world. From where did our history begin? It is the history that started from the illicit blood relationship between Adam, Eve, and Satan, centering on Satan.

The history began with the illicit relationship with the archangel. God cannot allow us, the nation and the people who multiplied upon that foundation, to multiply the seed of evil, centering on evil. This is where God's pain lies.

We know of the flood judgment at the time of Noah, when God destroyed the whole world, except Noah's immediate family members.

Why did God judge humanity and every living being by the flood, except Noah, who built the ark for 120 years, and his eight family members?

The reason for judging humanity, who inherited Satan's bloodline at that time, is that God needed people who could connect with God's heart, unite their mind and body, and make a linear relationship.

God did not need the people who made linear relationships with Satan, just the ones who could make a linear relationship with God's love. God, therefore, destroyed humanity, except for Noah's eight family members.

He did not come to advocate a certain ideology or worldview. He did not come to make a happy environment by pioneering the social environment. What kind of Savior was he?

The Savior can guide the lives of all people into heavenly ones, who can inspire people to abide by the heavenly ideology and who can guide people to a position in which they can enjoy God's love by acquiring the heavenly life and ideology. No one understood the life course of Jesus, who came with such content, his life, which possessed such a heart, and his heart of love.

For that reason, Jesus lamented,

"If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how can you believe if I tell you heavenly things? (John 3:12) and "Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man has nowhere to lay his head." (Matthew 8:20)

What are these words based upon?

He did not speak these words centering upon the foundation of any worldly ideology or worldview of a certain system, of his family, emotion, or human relationship.

He spoke as he thought of the system that centers upon the new ideology, as he dreamed of the substantiation of life that may be enjoyed within the realm of that new system, and longed with his heart for the time when those substantiations may sing of eternal love with God.

Jesus did not have any place to lay his head from this viewpoint. He was the loneliest and most miserable person. Why? Because he came with an internal heart and a worldview that has a direction 180 degrees different from the world.

The place he stayed was the enemy's land; his living environment was the enemy's environment, the sovereignty under which he was ruled was that of his enemy, and the place where he searched for love was also the enemy's world.

Under such circumstances, wherever he went, there could be no peace. Everything that came upon him was his enemy.

In the midst of all that, Jesus had the responsibility to establish the living foundation for God and wage the movement for reform and openness instead of God. He also had to establish the foundation of God's eternal ideology and spark a revolution centering on that heavenly ideology.

He was not the small man you know who saved the people by simply dying on the cross. Jesus was the person who wanted to connect the hearts and consciences of millions and millions of people and start a movement in which all those people would act out of his command. His concern was there.

God initiated and drove the movement of reform and openness. After reforming and opening the periods of history, all the ideologies and worldviews of the world, and religions, God will unite them with one heart that never existed in the human world before. God is working to abolish the world of illicit relationships because humanity today is the result of the fallen relationship.

Therefore, in the last days, my parents and my children, that is, the parent-child relationship, will become my enemies, just as Jesus advocated in the past. He also said, Your husband and wife, your family itself, will become your enemy.

Look at our society today from the viewpoint of the family as a unit. The parent-child relationship is breaking down. Isn't it so?

Parents killing their children, a child killing the parent, and the fidelity of the conjugal relationship breaking down. The fundamental family relationship itself is breaking down.

Ethics and morality, which humanity advocates, are breaking down. Religious doctrines are breaking down. Consequently, we are arriving at an age when we can no longer recognize which is which. Everything is shaken.

In this chaotic situation where most people are confused, depressed, and lamenting, a people who pray, “Father, please hasten the coming of that age,” should come forward among the thirty million people of this nation.

Heavenly sons and daughters who pray likewise should come forward.

The declared words of Jesus are being realized automatically in their external form.

Why did Jesus speak these words?

Because it is history that is bound to pass by, and it is the illicit emotional foundation that's bound to fade away.

For these reasons, Jesus said, "I am the son of God."

He was the son of God who came with a pure heart and love, not with a human heart and love. He said that he is the bridegroom representing the heavenly heart and love, and the believers are his bride.

Representing heavenly hearts and love, he called the believers “the brothers and sisters.” He said it all.

God has reformed and opened history, religions, and even our family foundation by waging the movement of reform. We should now look for the one standard that can unify all this.

God gave the blessing of dominating all things to humanity. He promised that all the things He created would be in the domain of human subjugation. For that reason, the world is moving toward a global formation that humanity can dominate. This is happening externally.

We said we would restore God's will. Restoration does not start from God but from an individual. We then should restore our brothers and sisters and our parents at the family level.

The time has come for you to long for yourself to be able to represent Jesus, to be able to connect the words of Jesus with your heart. You are the problem. No matter how many people are here, the one whom God loves the most cannot be two persons. Two people cannot rule the world of the heart and love.

The problem is that one person can represent God's ideology and worldview, and the people who can represent today's Christianity, the changing social history, and everything in history, the age, and religion. God has been resolving everything that is scattered all over, and He needs to set one center there.

Just as Jesus came with the representative mission to resolve the scattered four-thousand-year history, the Lord of the Second Advent comes to resolve everything in the six-thousand-year history.

What ideology or worldview would he bring?

He brings the ideology of the heart. Historically, there was the age of truth before the age of ideology. It meant that society was guided by a certain philosophical foundation or standard of knowledge.

Through that process, humanity has arrived at the age of ideology today. When things change in the philosophical foundation, they are criticized in the realm of ideology.

When the age of ideology passes away, the final age, which humanity demands, is the age of the earth. It is the age of the heart, which is connected to the heavenly heart and love, not that of the human heart.

We need to think about that age. No matter how great a problem-solver anyone may claim to be, history will be resolved only when such an age comes.

If the time of the global last day is indeed coming, Christianity, out of all the world-level religions, saw that reality most accurately.

What then is the heartistic foundation of Christianity?

It is the ideology that establishes the horizontal bridegroom and bride relationship, which pronounces that “I am your bridegroom, and you are my bride.”

It is the ideology that enabled the relationship of father and son, which proclaims God as “my Father” and me as “His son.”

It is the ideology that can connect all people of the world in brotherhood, which proclaims all people as “my brother.” It is not the ideology in the realm of thought but the ideology of the heart that transcends conscience.

That age is the age of the cosmic ideology that can connect with the heavenly heart and love.

God destroys everything false to find one thing that is untainted and perfect. Just as a new revolution emerges out of corruption, the world will become internally unified out of division. We should understand these principles.

Such a world will surely come; that world is coming as a whole and as an individual. The problem is not in the whole but in the individual. Therefore, the concept that respects the individual is the problem. Where are you now? God will ask what ideology, what religion, what historical trend, and what situation you have.

You should become a person who can reply, “Oh, Father, I came not to bring peace but to bring the sword,” just as Jesus did toward the chosen people of Israel, and who can say with confidence and courage, “Love God more than anyone else,” just as Jesus did. You should become a person who fulfills that responsibility.

Therefore, we should liberate everything. We should liberate history, religion, and the world of the heart. We should have a new ideology instead of past ideologies and worldviews, have a new power of life instead of the one we had in our past life environment, and have a new heart that can enjoy our new ideology and the new power of life.

Jesus was not welcomed in his time, for he came to the fallen world. He did not have any friends or comrades. He was persecuted in his time and died on the cross in utter loneliness.

He came representing God, but before he came as the enemy of Satan's world, he was the enemy of the world. Can the enemy be welcomed? It would be a lie.

If a certain representative in the democratic society who opposes that society appears, if someone in the communist society appears with an ideology that opposes that society, if someone in the Christian society appears with an ideology that may be opposed by Christian doctrine, and if someone brings a certain ideology of the world of the heart, then all people would be drawn to take interest. We should know that such a time has come.

The thing that can resolve history, the present age, and the future is not the existing world form. It has got to be a new form that opposes the established one, a content that transcends our conscience and connects with the heart, and a content that can transcend human morality and connect with the heavenly law.

There is no existing logic that defends the existing standpoint. It has to be an ideology that contains new logical content that can unite and harmonize the existing logical arguments.

If such words, such an ideology, were introduced to millions of conscientious people, it could change the direction of their conscience 180 degrees and cause a revolution in their minds.

That ideology would not stop at bringing a revolution in conscience, but it could bring the heavenly heart and love that will pierce our minds and cause a heartfelt relationship that will not break for eternity. If that ideology appears, then it is the last age.

Jesus taught, “I am your bridegroom, and you are my bride,” to teach the ignorant people these things. The bridegroom and bride that Jesus talked about are the relationships that transcend the mundane concept of a loving relationship between a man and a woman.

You should understand that history moves toward a new world through a new door only from the position where the direction of the conscience and the action of the heart may move toward God. The work of God will be completed only if the openness progresses to that extent.

In the process of human history, revolution does not exist in heartistic matters.

However, Jesus asserted two thousand years ago that “he who loves parents or children more than me is not worthy of me.” It is a wonderful statement.

Jesus said, “Love him more than anyone.” What is that content? That content was not found, for Jesus was killed. Therefore, we should realize that when we desire to find that content, that is the time of our hope and the time of the Second Coming.

The words were given, but the content or the ideology that can connect with the heart of those words did not appear. When that appears, it will be the day of world peace.

The center of our mind is our conscience. God, however, cannot subjugate the person with a conscience. God cannot command you to go here or go there, even if you are a good person of conscience. However, if you make a heartistic loving relationship with God, then He can command you without restriction.

Humankind did not lose its conscience by the fall. Not being able to make a heartistic loving relationship with God was the fall. Therefore, we must go beyond our conscience and make a heartistic loving relationship with God.

Only then will God's aching pain and resentment disappear, and the restoration dispensation end. Only by the emergence of that standard can humanity represent God. Only when that ideology, worldview, and teaching of religion are practiced can God move freely upon the realm of all things.

We, therefore, must drive out the denominational conflict in and between religions. There were numerous religions before the advent of the Unification Church.

We must peel off the denominational mask and eliminate the formal church. God is longing for the family church and the individual church. God is longing to move about freely, even to the realm of all things, by them becoming the temple of goodness and the holy of holies. God is hoping for that kind of garden.

The fall was the loss of the relationship that was created out of the unity between the human heart and God's heart; therefore, trying to re-establish that relationship is God's restoration dispensation and the standard of human hope.

For that reason, Jesus, who came as the representative of that dispensation and that hope, called himself “the bridegroom” and us “the bride.”

What should we do to cross over to that state? We must have the direct experience of emotion, shock, admiration, and the heart of yearning, centering on God, that transcends that of the bridegroom and bride. Without that, we cannot go forward.

What is God about to show humanity, whom He liberated and opened thus far?

History until now has been filled with the word “human love.” God's dispensation of restoration is the breaking of that and refilling that space with the word called “God's love.”

Is there anyone who has experienced God's love?

If there were people among you who experienced God's love in its mysterious state, you would have felt that loving feeling is the comprehensive and unifying emotion of the whole existential world.

Human love is not such a love; however, at that moment when you feel God's love, you can feel that comprehensive and unifying emotion of the whole existential world. God's love holds such value.

Therefore, the state of God's love can be described as the state where the individual and the whole are completely connected. The spiritual world is the supernatural world of recognition based upon such love. Therefore, that world is not limited by time and space.

Just as all things admire the sunlight and move according to the sun, all people will bow their heads if someone appears who possesses the foundation of God's heart and love, which the human original nature desires. That time must surely come.

Jesus came to present such conditions; he, however, could not bring out the standard of such a heartistic and loving relationship because he was killed. This is the lamentation of God and the aching pain and resentment of God for six thousand years and of Jesus for two thousand years.

We should realize that God persevered through the six thousand years of dispensational history to see the day when his pain and resentment are comforted and liberated.

When the time demands this, and God's will to unify the movement of reform and openness exists, we should pray, “Oh, God! Where is your love? Where is your loving denomination, your loving servant, and your loving sons and daughters?”

If that person exists, he would be the one most persecuted by this world. God said He is the Alpha and the Omega. The beginning and the end will come with the same appearance, although there may be a difference in their size.

A true human being, who can feel the sorrow God felt when He lost Adam and Eve, must come. He is the representative of God. He should be the owner of the heart who can embrace the sorrowful God, who cried for all people throughout the historical course, and for the chosen people of Israel, and cried for God in place of history.

The people who felt God's heart as their own, who prayed sorrowfully to God when they saw humanity lost and confused in the realm of death, and who struggled without concern for their dignity when they saw the flock of true sheep being trampled upon, were not welcomed in their time.

In the age of the last days, no matter how desperate the heart is to connect with God's heart, it cannot connect all at once, just as God's work often is. We have to think of what kind of process took place when humankind lost that heart. We lost God's words and lost our bodies, which God created, by not keeping God's words.

We lost God's love after losing our bodies. We, therefore, must go through the process of restoration.

Today, we need words that can penetrate our mind and body, into our original nature, into our original emotions, and even into our heart, which is hidden deeply in our conscience, and move us for all eternity.

We need the words that have the internal power to influence our conscience and our hearts to make us yearn for God's love. We need words that can instantly break down any ideology, worldview, or any conceptual understanding of the past and make us determined to do God's work by generating a new heart.

Religions of today, especially Christianity, should do this work. This is the work that Jesus will do by coming again.

We need the words that can make us attach to God's eternal words for eternity.

We, therefore, should become the embodiment that harmonizes with those words.

Concerning our lifestyle and our heartistic standards, we can build the character that God will be happy with when we make a relationship only with God's eternal world and not with the satanic world. Wouldn't God love us then? Do you think God will love what is not good?

Jesus spoke of the bridegroom and the bride. Those words were external, like a letter. Religion, until now, was the religion of conscience. It was not the religion of the heart. It set the heartistic target, yet did not have the heartistic content.

Therefore, his words were a form of conscience and a letter of promise. Thus, we need to find the words of the heart by which we can relate to the content of that letter.

We need to look for the words of the heart in which I can be eternally intoxicated, for which I long, with which I can rejoice, with which I can love, and with which I can live together.

Next, we should become the substantiation of our Father's words. We should become the substantiation that God will not deny and that Jesus will recognize us as his bride. Only then can we become heavenly people.

From now on, you should not say that you do not know the Bible, which you believe in very well; that you do not know who Jesus is; that you know him only by words, but not artistically; and that you know Jesus conceptually, but not experientially. If you are like this, you have nothing to do with Jesus.

It was said that now is the time “to find,” “to seek,” and “to knock.” We visited the fancy brick houses and great doors and looked for tens of years, yet we did not find anything. We should, therefore, look in the opposite direction.

God is pushing us from behind. God is bringing the good people and driving them into the evil world.

We should know that God's new dispensation starts with the people who are persecuted. That does not necessarily mean that such people are Unification Church members. The people who came here for the first time may think, “Oh, look at this Unification Church. How could they do this?” but think as you will.

In this world, this period of the last days, a certain ideology or worldview, which communism and democracy both oppose, should appear in the future. It must come.

When an ideology or worldview, which communism and democracy want to drive out in their concerted effort and which all kinds of denominations, such as the Presbyterian church, the Methodist church, the Holiness church, and forty-odd denominations, want to drive out, should appear, only then will a new history begin.

If such an ideology or worldview appears, then the feeling of wanting to go there, to be there, and to live there would spring to mind. The place where the feelings of wanting to see, to move, to speak, and to live emerge would be the final destination point of human history.

A person of character who opens everything that was tangled, who unifies everything again, and connects everything to one heart, one ideology, and one life should appear. An ideology or worldview that can harmonize the whole cosmos should appear.

Only then will God's total will, which worked to open everything, be resolved. God can then rest. All people can rest because God is resting. History can find the stabilizing point and start a new age.
