What do we celebrate today?

3

(The Coronation of God!) What a strange term. God? (Coronation!) Who did the coronation? (God!) Can True Parents do this by themselves? We can hold this ceremony because all the people on Earth and in Heaven were blessed and formed a homogeneous nation.

01The Completed Testament

4

Therefore, to achieve that, religions from Judaism to the second Israel centering on Christianity, to Korea went through the realm of the first, second, and third Israel and the Old, New, and Completed Testament eras.

5

The Completed Testament is the era of the blessing of all. Because of the fall of the human ancestors, all things created by God couldn’t stand in the realm of blessing

6

The people of the peripheral religions were not aware of this. Only Judaism and Christianity paved the road to serving God as our Father. And in the failed history of Adam and Eve, only one son was born on Earth whose bloodline God could love. The elder son was born. Although the son was born, no “only daughter” appeared.

7

God struggled greatly throughout the four-thousand-year salvation history. It can be said that God created Adam again. After making Adam, God created Eve as Adam’s counterpart. God created Eve by imitating Adam, applying the same principle and blueprint used when creating Adam.

8

The Bible says that God created Eve by taking the rib of Adam. It means that God adopted the core of Adam to create Eve. God found the only son through the direct lineage of love but did not find the only daughter. After finding Eve, God would have restored fallen history through a family.

9

God prepared Jacob, the twelve tribes thought of as the chosen people, and Israel to establish the nation. Jacob’s twelve children gained ground and expanded the area of victory. This was the nation of Israel and Judaism until Jesus’ advent.

10

The nation of Israel was external and Cain-like, while Judaism was internal and Abel-like. The mother would be chosen on the foundation of Cain and Abel.

11

Thereafter, by serving Jesus, Israel and Judaism would unite as Cain and Abel. Then, centering on the blessed family, a clan and a nation would have been established. Nobody can deny this.

12

Even though Rome dominated the world, it would have been no match. External things are like flesh, while internal things are like bones. Flesh cannot defeat bones.

13

Centering on Israel, the unity of all nations and the liberation of God would have been achieved two thousand years ago. But, because Jesus couldn’t form a family by restoring Eve, Israel, and all prepared things were destroyed.

14

Because the foundation of the people was lost, Israel perished. And in the seventh century, the religion of Islam emerged among the central people. Muslims were brothers but became adversaries. Ishmael and Isaac were direct descendants of Abraham. But they became enemies and fought throughout history. They fought, centering on Jerusalem, and Israel was lost.

15

If Cain and Abel had achieved peace in Jesus’ time, the history of war between the left wing and right wing on the national level would have been solved on Earth and in the spirit world. But because the prepared nation of Israel failed, Christianity became the second Israel. Because Jesus lost his body, Christianity, representing the spirit world, expanded its influence worldwide.

16

After World War 2, Christian culture unified the world. By unifying the world, the era in which the mind and body can become one arrived. Satan was completely conquered. The allied nations and opposing nations could have been restored to God.

17

But Judaism, Israel, and Christianity did not serve the Unification Church. To this day, they have tried to chase the Unification Church. As the first Israel and Judaism opposed and chased Christianity and almost perished, Christianity opposed the Unification Church and almost perished. All religions perished.

18

Christianity, Buddhism, Confucianism, and Islam now have the form of religion, but they have perished. Not only religions, but also societies, nations, and the world have become hell.

19

God’s ideal realm of love was not on Earth. In America, there is no family in which husband and wife, mind and body, are united with the original standard. There is no family in which parents and children do not fight. All are separated in a world of individualism. God’s ideal is the pair system. The pair system exists in the mineral world, plant world, and animal world. Heaven and Earth should have become one, but everything separated.

20

How can we turn this around and unite them?

21

Who should do that?

22

At the beginning, Adam’s family failed. Then the Messiah failed at the national level. Jesus was to have restored the nation and world. Because it should be recovered on Earth, the Messiah at the Second Advent inherits the realm of Christian culture on the world level, even as the world is perishing and religions have perished.

23

Christianity, Catholic and Protestant, is in the position of inheritance but is fighting and not even thinking of uniting. Until unification, they will fight, and religions will fall further to the ground. In the end, they will reach a dead end, and the Messiah will relegate them to the last place.

24

No matter how much they desire, try, or resolve to do so, they cannot overcome lust. Therefore, when someone attempts to achieve perfection, Satan will attempt spiritually to make him fall. A beautiful woman will appear and ask him to embrace her. If he surrenders and embraces her, it is over.

25

Centering on the love, life, and death divide. Unless they have spiritual experience, people do not know how deep this problem is. Our body is the stage of Satan. To restore this stage to the ideal position, God worked and experienced disappointment over and over. Therefore, it has taken thousands of years.

26

Buddhism, Confucianism, Christianity, and Islam remained as forms of religion that educated people the world over about the mission of the messiah.

Who is the Lord of the Second Advent?

27

He is the True Parent. True Parents bring true love and true blood lineage. False parents have fallen in love and lineage. In the original world, people created families centered on God.

28

To achieve a family of true sons and daughters, true blood lineage should be connected. To become children of True Parents, the blood lineage should be connected to True Parents.

29

Without blood lineage, the parent-child relationship is impossible. Even God cannot separate blood lineage. Fallen Satan cannot separate it. We should be engrafted into the blood lineage of God on the original standard.

30

When one goes over the national level, they go into the direct dominion of God.

31

In direct dominion, God’s blood lineage is connected; therefore, there is no way for Satan to separate it.

32

The problem is that we have not advanced to that level. If Adam and Eve had married and loved, the fall could not have occurred. They would never have been able to fall. Satan could not have separated them.

33

But, during the growth period, the fruit was not ripe. Unripe fruit does not produce seeds. It has no eternal life. The place to dispose of those lifeless things is hell. It has no relationship with God.

Therefore, what kind of problems exist in the father-and-son relationship?

34

The son inherits the parents’ bloodline. Inheritance of blood lineage does not just happen by itself. Can it take place through a single individual?

35

It cannot take place with just a single entity, whether it is parents alone in the parent-child relationship or me alone in the man-woman relationship. With the foundation of the harmonious unity of man and woman, the internal and external character of blood lineage becomes completely one with the fundamental cosmic principles.

36

Then the substantial mind, representing the internal character, results in a substantial body representing the external character, and man is ultimately created (a life is brought into the world).

37

Likewise, the meeting of the invisible content and visible form causes an explosion.

38

Heat turns water into steam. As the temperature rises, it turns to vapor, becoming invisible. Analogously, when the invisible God, who dwells in this superheated invisible environment, meets with a visible form in the deep-freezing environment, there is an explosion.

39

Therefore, God Himself took a spherical form centered on the internal and external character of love. However, the relationship between the two extreme characters reflects merely an internal movement and does not appear on the surface. Thus, He cannot feel stimulation.

40

However, if there exists a physical form that could function as a stimulating object … It is like an explosion caused by the collision of hot and cold or of two extreme elements through the mind.

41

If love becomes the axis and if the couple is willing to love forever, they can have an eternal relationship. They can become a family centered on God. Its seed will grow in eternal motion. The seed will become a sprout, and the sprout will become a fruit, a God-like fruit. Branches and buds will grow. The tree will grow big, and branches will grow in all directions. Adam’s family was to have become that tree.

42

Adam and Eve were supposed to have multiplied their descendants to fill the whole world. They would have made so many factories to create citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven. They would all have lived with God in the spirit world and True Parents on Earth. When they entered the spirit world, they would have lived there forever as one body. They would have made the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth and in Heaven.

43

Do you understand? [Yes.]

44

Christianity, until now, has been trying to unite Cain and Abel on the spiritual side.

45

It tried to restore the spiritual foundation centering on physical bodies, but it was unable to restore the substantial, physical world. But God had to restore the physical world. Battles ensued. God went above nations and tried to make humankind one people. Thus, after the Second World War, the Allied nations were victorious over the Axis powers and helped rebuild them.

46

In other words, the time has come to overcome the Cain-Abel conflict. Based on this condition, during the postwar era, if the primary nation, America, along with England and France, had realized and accepted God’s will, God would have overcome the most difficult obstacles within three years. And within seven years, the entirety of God’s Will would have been realized. In other words, based on having created the foundation of unified people under God, we would have realized our wish for a Heavenly Kingdom on Earth, where both the spirit and physical worlds unite harmoniously.

47

Since body and spirit could not become one in Jesus’ era, we have suffered a 2,000-year history of indemnity. On the victorious foundation based on such conditions, someone has to step forward to assume the position of spiritual parents and has to fit everything in its right place.

48

Jesus could not do this. Since he could not marry, he could not officiate the marriages of others. Thus even God could not give Blessings.

49

What this does is bring forth the concept of True Parents, who can reverse and change the blood lineage through initiating the Blessing. The fact that false parents bred and spread their seed caused the struggle between God and Satan at the beginning of human history. True Parents can stand in the middle and end this struggle.

50

After reconciling God and Satan, the unity of Jesus centered on the foundation of his family, Judaism, and all religions around him, the restoration and God’s Will would have been accomplished, and divine sovereignty would have become possible.

51

However, since this did not take place, it eventually led to World War II, and in the post-war era, an analogous situation came about. America and the world represent Judaism in Israel and the other religions, respectively. Since this once again could not unite, it has taken this long so far… more than 55 years, going on 56.

52

Thus, to hold this Coronation Ceremony to honor God is like a dream.

53

Who was supposed to hold this ceremony for God? Who destroyed the hope for such a ceremony? Did God? Satan, Adam, and Eve are responsible for the mess.

54

Because Adam and Eve could not assume the True Parents’ position, Satan entered the picture, and the foundation of the True Parents’ blood lineage was not established.

55

Since the fall left trails of Satan’s blood lineage, neither God nor Satan, for that matter, could deny or reverse the consequences. It is difficult for Satan as well as God to destroy what he has created thus far. Nobody likes to destroy and entirely modify what he or she created. This is true even for Satan.

56

God cannot reverse the consequences of the fall. If he could have done so, He would never have lost Adam’s family to Satan. By principle and even by simple reasoning, this is clear. The only person who could repair the damage was the perfected Adam.

57

You have to understand the fact that the [perfected] Adam’s family is the only family that can possess the love of the original nature [that originates from God].

58

All of you blessed families should assume the position of [perfected] Adam’s family.

59

Representing the rest of the world, you should pray in the name of a blessed central family.

60

How many people do we have here?

61

(About 4,000 people.) Is it 4,000 couples or 4,000 people? (4,000 people.) 4,000 people are here representing 4,000 families, right? (Right.) No matter how many millions of people run in a marathon, there is always a winner, the best out of millions of runners.

62

Who else gets awarded? 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places, right? What kind of medals do they get?

63

Gold, silver, and bronze. How come there is no black medal? There are three because of the principle. Everything consists of the number three, in three stages. Heaven and Earth.

64

Like the center of a 360-degree circle, everything needs a central position as a reference point. The completion of restoration is no exception.

Then what is the center of the blessed family? Who gives the Blessing?

65

The parents do. Who officiates the marriage? Who should officiate the ceremony through which children can resemble their parents and inherit their parents’ blood lineage marked by their parents’ harmonious unity?

66

The officiators are the parents. Today’s typical marriage is an act of stepping up next to someone famous for using a ladder because humankind has been dragged up to the archangel [in the sky].

67

On October 14 of last year, all the holy saints and those families that were matched with Father’s children attended. This was to perform a unification ceremony of all religions. In summary, the True Parent is the king of the family. Has this term ever existed?

68

Has there been anyone who could claim that he or she is the king or queen of the family, standing as a representative of Heaven and Earth?

69

To become the king of the family, you have to be the parent among the parents and the first son among the first sons. The first son should marry first and start his family first.

70

Everything has an order. There is a term in Korean called “reverse marriage.” [This refers to a reversal in the order of marriage, especially between brothers.] The order is violated quite often today. This reflects the content and concept of restoration.

71

Thus, one tries to go this way and that way and even follows the reverse order. The “reverse marriage” should not take place. If the order is reversed, everything will go belly up. The world has become this way. Now, how are we going to repair or undo this? Incest, illicit love relationships, and all such problems stem from this confusion and chaos.

72

Grandfather and granddaughter, grandfather and daughter-in-law, etc. These incestuous relationships occur because people revolve around without knowing their center, and consequently, they catch and consume one another.

73

In this era of confusion, of great chaos and family-level confusion, whether of immediate family or relatives, everyone revolves around randomly to hook up with one another without any order, without knowing 1 degree, 10 degrees, 360 degrees, or 180 degrees.

So, who can bring order to this world?

74

God could not interfere with the fall as it took place in the Garden of Eden.

75

Further, God could not interfere with Satan’s marriage. Likewise, even in the last days, there is no way God can interfere. If one is sick, one cannot survive without eliminating the root cause of the disease. Since false love, false life, and false parents were created, True Parents have to reject these and restore love, life, and lineage through indemnity.

76

What does it mean when one says, Those who seek death will live”?

77

Until the indemnity is complete, those who live in the world of death and who walk to the edge of death with the spirit and energy to say, Even if I die, I will still have the energy to live,” will live. There is no resurrection for those who find death sad and fearful and run away.

78

That is why the Bible says that those who seek death… (Will live!) And those who seek life (Will die!). Live? (Will die!) That doesn’t sound too good. Then, what about God? What if God takes the position where He seeks death? (He will live!) He will live. If God seeks to live, then there is no consummation. What about me? It is the same. If I decide to live, I will die, and if I seek death…? (You will live!) That is the case.

79

Do you think about whether Reverend Moon of the Unification Church thinks about being the Messiah or True Parents?

80

If I did, I would have to die every day. What do you think? If we seek death, there would be a gigantic commotion everywhere, every day. But it makes sense to say we should seek death, even in an insane environment where it is not possible.

81

Those who seek death should form ties that are closely associated with Heaven and Satan, according to the periods of three stages. When you tie knots, you are making new knots. When you make new knots, are you making big knots or small knots? As you make new knots, the thinner the rope is, the better, right? That is ideal. If they become big, give them big hats. When they become narrow, nothing can come in.

82

It is the same with God and True Parents.

What about those who want to enter the Kingdom of Heaven?

83

Is it the same? [Yes, the same.] Because I wore a heavy crown this morning, my head hurts, so please answer quickly.

84

For Him to save even one man, even God has to go through the circumstances of death. He must throw down the rope and pull the person falling off the cliff with all His might. For God and us to live, we must have that standard.

85

God has gone through death so many times. Those who want to go to the Kingdom of Heaven must be able to go through such hardships. So in the end, God must tire out before you. Who is older, God or you? God is the oldest, right? We must cling to the rope and reach the highest ground. How difficult would this be? By the time we make it to the top climbing the rope, God will collapse from the exertion.

86

Then what should we do? Should we carry Him on our backs and take Him to the hospital? If there is no hospital, we must do whatever we can on our own to save Him. We can pray, or we can go over the hill of suffering.

Who is the Messiah and Savior?

87

Should he relax and enjoy life, or should he go through suffering so that God can rest?

88

Can a person who enjoys life and allows God to die as a result be the Messiah?

89

So, if I suffer, should Unification Church members play around and enjoy life?

90

Should people who play around go to the Kingdom of Heaven or Hell?

91

[Hell.] Should I do what they want me to do because I think Father doesn’t know the world? Life and death are at hand, and they just want to live a comfortable life.

92

We should say that we will all die together. If we do, then we all can live. A person should not say that only he should live.

93

If it is certain that a father wants to give his life to his son, that son must follow that father to the end.

94

If he does not, eventually, they will separate. If the father wants to die and the son wants to live, what will happen? Will they separate or not? If the father’s act is different from the son’s act, it becomes an act of Hell. The grandson born through that kind of son cannot even come to his grandfather to kiss him.

95

Among the Unification Church members, is there anyone who wants to suffer more than I?

96

Western members in particular must desire to receive more persecution than I have. Did you come here to go sightseeing? Or did you come here to listen to me and go through a suffering course? It is a problem. There cannot be individualism here. Graduating from Yale or Harvard makes no difference. Lowly laborers can do better than such.

97

Who likes free sex more, white people or Black people?

98

If Black people like it, they do because they learned it from white people, right? Free sex, homosexuality, and lesbianism will end due to AIDS and drugs. In large parts of Africa, 60% of the people have AIDS. They will collapse in 15 to 20 years. The AIDS virus hibernates for 8 to 12 years. They will be destroyed in two generations.

99

Are the 120 people who were standing here confident?

100

Can you follow me? If you are confident, why do you hide your face? If I liberated God, you should liberate me. Many countries are still not liberated. You have to liberate those 120 nations. The 120 disciples of Jesus represent 120 nations. They have to become the kings of 120 nations. You must become admirals of each nation and bring the nations back to God.

What are the 160 families?

101

They have to bring back all the nations of the world. If you are unable to take back a nation, you cannot become an officer of the Kingdom of Heaven. If you become a king on Earth, you can become a king in the kingdom of Heaven. Good kings can become kings of the future, but bad kings will go to Hell. They will be forgotten.

102

Did you fulfill your responsibility?

103

Blessed families here, who are trying to earn regional victories for the unification of North and South Korea, are you fulfilling your responsibilities? If you get regional victories, can the world become united?

104

Without the UN, can the world become one?

105

As you do battle in the region, I have to work with NGOs. The NGO representatives from across the world talk about societal evils and other issues within their realms of influence. When they hear about the large perspective of how the UN should unite the world and solve the problems of Communism and other problems, they are overwhelmed and don’t have a solution, and therefore, they appreciate someone with a plan. They say that I am correct. They think we can hand down pure lineage while indulging in youth immorality, family breakdown, and AIDS.

106

I have worked in South America for a few years now. The people there say that the Pacific Age has come, and they want to catch whales in the sea and do other ocean-related activities. Will you follow me? [Yes.] If you like to follow me, then you have to learn to become the captain of a boat.

107

You all have to go to Antarctica now and live for at least one year as krill fishermen. You have to go as a couple. How many couples are here? There can be about 20 couples per boat. Even women should work.

Are you all confident to register into the Kingdom of Heaven?

108

There is a difference between Heung Jin, God, and Jesus. If I represent God, Heung Jin is like Jesus. You must understand that you are registered in the Kingdom of Heaven with a course remaining to pass through. If you don’t want to die accidentally in some Bermuda Triangle, you must pass the test.

109

What is today’s topic?

110

The coronation of God’s kingship. The speech before the coronation is finished now. No matter what, you must go the way of suffering. You must learn what the course for you is after God’s coronation. So the problem is lineage. Say “Pit joo!” [Pit joo!]. What does it mean in English? Blood lineage. Say “Blood Lineage.” [Blood lineage.] That is the most important.

111

Kingship is not relevant. Parentship is not relevant. Society and government are not relevant. School is not necessary. The many nations of this world still belong to Satan and not God.

112

But now the nations have nowhere to go but to follow God and their True Parents.

113

Is George W. Bush the center of America?

114

Gore won the popular vote. He lost because of the Electoral College. It’s over. What does the US tell the Third World? It says that they should choose democracy and the bicameral legislative system. And those countries say to the US, “Worry about yourself. Don’t come here and preach to us. Look at yourself.” Without democracy, what will Western people do?

115

The four-year presidential term should be changed to an eight-year term. After four years, candidates have to compete for the presidency again. What time do they have to do any work? They waste so much national wealth on elections. It should be eight-year terms. Even in democracies, it should be 16 years if you count 8 years for the husband and 8 years for the wife. And if it is a family, it should be 32 years. That will give hope.

116

What can you do in 4 years?

117

They start their election campaigns after 2 years. It’s all over. Democracy will collapse. The principle doesn’t allow it.

118

One reason why a free, democratic nation like America struggles is because of the unions. I will tell you how you can resolve problems with the unions. In the same way that blue-collar workers form a union, stock owners and executives should also form a union.

119

They can work together to raise money for their family members. Then each year will be much more productive than the last. There must be mutual benefits for both parties, the employees' union and the employers union.

120

They can compete and see how much money they can make within three years without returning any profit to the owners. If employees have worked hard, we can give a bonus to their union.

121

If the employees have worked more, they deserve to receive more. In this way, they will never fight. In Western society, no one has given this any thought. If this doesn’t work out, I will call all the religious organizations and blessed families of the world. We will make a religious union.

122

We can do that, can’t we? Let’s say I make a religious union. Will you join me? Will you make it? (Yes.) Your answer should be yes.

123

Our union members work all their lives and receive modest pay. Not only that, they even offer some of their earnings. Can a union exist in this kind of environment? No way. I can clean the mess America has within three to seven years.

124

So, unions eventually will disappear. Does Russia have unions? Does China have unions? Does North Korea have unions? What is this? Why do advanced societies have unions?

125

From now on, whether you like it or not, no matter how you look at it, whether you are oriental, a Westerner, or Black, you must listen to me because you are having a lot of trouble. So, you decide not to stand in a troublesome area. Today, you decided to stand with me, and your determination should not change. You must have affection.

126

The clothes you are wearing (pink-colored gowns) look like the color of Jesus’ paradise. This symbolizes Jesus Christ. White symbolizes God. Green symbolizes the Holy Spirit. That is why nature is green. The ocean is blue, and the mountains are green.

127

The sky is blue. Pink flowers and white flowers look fine together. You are wearing this kind of symbol. You should not be ashamed of yourselves. You must have strong, shining lights so that bees and butterflies are attracted to you. This I wish dearly. (Amen!) Please try.

128

A person who prays, “I pray in the name of the blessed central family,” must resolve all the problems with families, tribes, people, the nation, the world, and the cosmos.

129

Centering on my clan and tribe, we can guide our nation. Our tax could form a stronger nation. If there is a palace in Satan’s nation, we must build a better palace. Don’t you agree? (Yes.) The Blessing Offering fund cannot be touched.

130

Even I will not touch that fund. I will spend that money to build a palace where all your descendants and all people can freely settle, and a place of government, a parliament.

131

Shouldn’t the palace of the Heavenly Kingdom be ten times, a hundred times better than that of Satan’s? We should realize this before we go to the spirit world. You have no right to go to the Kingdom of Heaven if you have not realized this.

132

Do you want to earn that right?

133

Do you just abandon your relatives? You must witness to them. You must unite them into one and reach the presidents in Satan’s world.

134

What is a filial son? He is a son who dies for his parents. What is a patriot? He dies for his king. It is the same for saints and sages. You should write this important teaching in your notebook.

What is this year’s motto?

135

The liberated parents of Heaven and Earth, True Parents, and liberated children tightly unite into one. There is no gap in this union, no gap for water to enter. There is no gap for air to seep in. There is no gap for light to come in. After uniting into one, then what? (True love.) Indeed, true love comes next.

136

After the Parents of Heaven and Earth become one and parents and children become one, true love can come alive. True love is one mind and one body. Within true love, the center is the subject. May we accomplish the center of subjectivity? This is not only one year’s motto, but everyone must practice this truth for years.

137

Do you think this motto is good or bad? Am I dumb?

138

This is all you need. Today, all things of the new millennium are liberated, but God is not yet liberated, and True Parents are not yet liberated. Nonetheless, the Parents of Heaven and Earth and the children are liberated, so you should not be afraid. Even if you are locked up, you must not be afraid. I am so curious about Heaven that I want to go to the Kingdom of Heaven as quickly as possible.

139

If I go there young, is this good or bad? All the cosmos is in my hands. You should not deny that you are the ultimate one. You should not worry. That’s how it goes.

140

Have I searched for food or truth? (Truth.) Can you see the truth? No. Can you see God? No. Can you see love? Can you see life? Can you see blood lineage? Can you see conscience? No. They are not visible.

141

That’s why people who are not thinking do not know. Let’s say you are asked to sell five body organs. Does anyone want to sell them? What if you bought them from someone? Would you have an operation, changing your nose, changing your lips, and changing your hands? Would you like to sell them?

142

What kind of business is that? Where can you find profit in losing things?

143

People who have bought things often lose them. God is that way. Parents are that way, too. Parents who have many children have many losses. If you meet with ten people once, that’s fine. But if you have to meet ten people every day, you have to spend so much money.

144

Today, by having a God’s kingship ceremony, the nation has changed. For the providence, should we be worried or not? (Not.) Then, who should be worried?

145

God has been pained with resentment. We need to be the supporting force so that God can do whatever He wants to do. Why does God do that? This morning I had a very busy schedule, so you should have worked with me and come with me. Sons and daughters should prepare for their parents to have the kingship ceremony. Now God must have full authority centered on this kingship.

146

Please come out; I will guide you. You know how to guide, right? Whether God can visit or not, you know how to guide Him, right?

147

From now on, things have changed. People who worry should die. What did I say?

148

People who are known to worry should die. Should they die or not? (Don’t die.) I will stay even if everyone dies. You have to think of it that way.

149

Do you know how to achieve individual perfection? Do you know it or not?

150

Yoo Kwang Ryul, do you know the experience of the individual’s mind and body becoming one? Do you know it or not? After the fall, the body that inherited Satan’s blood lineage became stronger than the conscience. This is the problem.

151

You should not follow your bodily desires. “My body, my body.” Even if my body bursts into tears, you should just be grateful. Why tears? If you don’t want to die, pray to be willing to die. Jesus went the same way.

152

From no one, you have to abide by an immutable law, even to the point of dying—the law that one must not stain the blood lineage. The second point is not to infringe upon human rights due to a mistake in the area of insa jocha (moving people, hiring, and firing).

153

Whether a woman or a man, Black or white, everyone is equal. One must not discriminate or violate human rights. For this reason, the leaders of the Unification Church have convened here. Regional leader or national messiah status doesn’t mean that you have the right to change someone’s position according to your desire.

154

There are plenty of people whose ancestors are better than the ancestors of the regional leaders and national messiahs. Hence, I refrain from insa jocha. When I do, however, I select from the highest level. Do not infringe upon human rights.

155

Wherever I go, I do not discriminate against blacks or those who did not complete college.

02The person who practices true love, and realizes human rights correctly, possessing love for the sake of others, is in the mainstream.

156

The creation of Heaven and Earth began from that point. I cannot forgive the act of diluting and squandering this main current of thought. This is the second of all sins.

157

The third point is to refrain from stealing public money. It means not to use public funds to fulfill selfish desires. There are three types of sin, and of those who go to jail, at least 70% go for this reason. Will you understand this only after being put into jail? Human rights infringement and lineage violation are problems concerning men and women. Then come the money problems. The following are the problems dealing with power. Money, knowledge, and power have ruled.

158

Article I of the Constitution of the Kingdom of Heaven is that you will not stain the blood lineage. The purpose is to preserve the lineage, keeping it completely clean.

159

It means to maintain the purity of blood lineage for eternity. From this point, the blessed blood lineage that has been inherited through God’s love and God’s life cannot be contaminated by the actions immersed in the habitual pattern of the fallen world.

Can you abide by the rule?

160

(Yes.) All those couples that are certain to obey the rule, regardless of whether you’re a man, even if you are not sitting with your spouse, all those who are willing to keep your lineage from being stained, close your eyes so that only God can see you and decide. Raise your hand firmly and pledge. People sitting next to you… Since all are couples, if someone is not with a spouse, it is okay, even if you are here without your spouse.

161

You must not forget this Memorial Day. Even if there is a quarrel between a husband and a wife, if you provoke it, you must resolve everything on January 13th. In the West, thirteen is the worst of all numbers. If the center consists of 12 months, the principle of Heaven and Earth must circulate through the year.

162

However, since this does not exist, everything is in chaos, and this place has become an irrational, confusing world. God desires to straighten this out; therefore, once you understand this, you must abide by this principle even if you have to die one thousand times. Think of this moment as a time of making unbreakable, impermeable determination.

163

The second point is not to violate human rights, and the third point is not to steal public money (nak chwi) or use public property for yourself. When you see something you desire, even if gold falls from a building, you’re committing (nak chwi) if you use it to purchase something. You cannot use it for your self-interest.

164

It’s public money. Even if you bring it to me as a church offering (yun bo), I would not accept it. Even if I received it through Mother, I would not spend it. This is more fearful and terrible than poisonous drugs. You will surely be caught when you go to the spirit world.

165

If there is anyone here to whom this applies, you should repent for everything before this year passes. The most fearful thing is Article I of it, which is to maintain the pure lineage. You must not stain it. There are many possessions of women that can be taken away (but not that). If you women carry a knife, you must stop the act by stabbing any part of the enemy’s body attainable in your hand.

166

Don’t take his life, but if he continues the behavior, defend yourself strongly. Lineage is more precious than life.

167

Now, if a couple is ideal, would one be happy to see the other sleeping around with other women or men? How about Black people?

168

They feel the same. And for whites? Would you be happy to see your wife standing next to another man? Is the person sitting beside your wife? No? Is she not your wife? Is she your wife? Is he your husband? Why is he sitting over there? Where is your husband?

169

On this Memorial Day, to maintain the sovereign power, the kingship of Heaven, and to stand before it as a people (bek sung), parents, wife, and children (chu ja), and brothers and sisters, this is necessary. Therefore, you cannot neglect your older brother. You cannot neglect your younger brother merely because he is handicapped. You cannot neglect in-laws or relatives.

170

The world neglects everyone, doesn’t it?

171

You who graduated from a university neglect those who only completed high school. This violates human rights. Following that offense is the misuse of public money. The nak chwi of national property! This is a sin having to do with public money. I have never taken such actions. When people make donations, I don’t even handle the money. So, how do I make a living? I earn my living. If I need a car, I know how to make money.

172

Therefore, first keep purity, especially among the Western members. The question is how to maintain the lineage. So what is the second point? Human rights! To protect human rights. Third? [(nak chwi) of public money!]

You already took a large amount from the public funds, didn’t you?

173

You all don’t do work yet and are hoping that I will allow you to go home once a month or once a week, right? The poor new Unification Church members. They come to this place, and what is it to which they are contributing? All the troublemakers gather here seeking a comfortable place to sleep, without even following the rules and regulations. That’s all, nak chwi. It destroys the public environment.

174

This is equivalent to the nak chwi of national property. It is horrible. Those who lead such a lifestyle will not succeed regardless of how much they try to live a good life.

175

Try living such a way. No matter how much you pray to God, you will not be able to evangelize effectively. Even if you bring a guest, he or she will come as far as the front door, turn back, and leave.

176

The whole universe dislikes those who incur a debt. Do you like to be in debt?

177

Within your clan, if one person from the Kim clan induces a problem for everyone else and causes the clan to fall into debt, who would like it? Later on, the Kim clan will nail him upside down. This time will come.

178

So, do you understand the three points? (Yes). Count the number of determinations you have made in your heart: one, two, three, one, two, three…, one, two, three… Try it several times.

179

Do you pledge to do that?

180

Purity, equalization of all people, and then the nak chwi of national property. You must understand everything well and make it your habit. You will avoid the wrong actions only when you reach the stage in which, as soon as your mouth and eyes open, these words come out.

181

There is no doubt you will face these challenges in life. There will probably be many such circumstances, but if you try to abstain from violating the law, the challenges will turn you into a victorious person; therefore, I won’t have to tell you anything. Amen! (Amen.) This is the conclusion.

182

So, what do we do next? Where are you going to reside? You want to live well, right? Do you consider living alone to be a good life?

183

(We have to live together.) What does a life to live together, a happy life, consist of? I ask you, for a good life built based upon the official law of God, what kind of environment, what kind of people, and with what group of people must you live? It is simple.

184

There are three answers. Parent-children relationship, conjugal relationship, and brother-sister relationship, with brothers and sisters in the position of children to the parents. It is a relationship among children of the same parents, the relationship between brother and sister.

185

This is why one’s family has a mother and a father, and then from that couple, there are sons and daughters. Therefore, you have a brother-sister relationship because you stand before the same mother and father. In my eyes, third cousins, in-laws, all the cousins, and so on, including all people, we are related, having a brother-sister relationship.

186

Therefore, once the parent-child relationship and conjugal relationship are connected, brothers and sisters will automatically come to exist. The relationships within this wide range of humankind may be called brother-sister relationships.

187

They must live a good life in harmony. To live a virtuous life, guidance is necessary.

188

Each person has to be an example for the others. That defines a virtuous living.

03If you cannot become a model for others, you are not leading a true life.

189

This turns your life into a debt. If you serve as a good model, if your life can serve as an example before the mother and the father, the husband and wife, and children, then you are living a virtuous life.

So, what will result from living such a life?

190

The day will come when the King of Heaven and the King of the Earth will visit the family with an exemplary life. Early in January of each year, the kings must visit. The time will come when the nation will recognize the family within its borders, living the best life. The family receiving the recognition has three generations that form a perfected four-position foundation.

191

The time will come when the president will present the award in the family’s home.

192

There are three relationships: those of parent and child, husband and wife, and among the children. The brother-sister relationship is a consequence of the harmony of all these relationships. Therefore, whether in a brother-sister relationship or a children’s relationship, to become a person standing in the position of subject, you influence others positively, such that not even one person can live without you. If it is true, say “Amen,” and if it’s not true, say “No-men.

193

(Amen). Raise your hands and say it again. (Amen). A-men! A-men! Cheer to the enthronement of Heavenly Father! 1,000 years… 10,000 years!

194

No matter what you may come across, even if you are confronted with death, even if you are accused as a traitor and executed, if you keep these things absolutely, then your family will belong to the heavenly royal family that possesses unabated freedom, unity, and liberation. I want you to remember this clearly. Keep it as a motto. In the motto of the third millennium, I mentioned pure lineage, then the equality of human rights, and next the preservation of national public assets. That means do not be thieves. What is next? Be an example! Be an exemplary parent, exemplary spouse, exemplary child, and exemplary sibling. If your cousins, nephews, and relatives are doing well, then your children will follow their example.

195

If you form such a family, people in your village will say, “We should follow that person. I want to live with him.” Then that person is surely a citizen of the Kingdom of Heaven, and Heaven will remember him. [Amen!]

196

I am also living that way. Wherever I go, whenever I see a grandpa or grandma, I want to serve them and buy them a meal because I was unable to attend to my grandparents.

197

So, it is not an easy life, but my foundation becomes bigger and bigger because God is on my side. More and more people flock around me and are concerned about me wherever I go. Dozens of years have passed, and now even grandpas and grandmas, old people who are almost about to die, await me. Even the village dogs do not bark but want to follow me around.

198

If you live a life of goodness to the degree that dogs do not bark at you but want to be tickled by you, then people will be close to you, too.

Why would people oppose the master of love?

199

They want to be close. You have to make it so. Even the passing birds would feel the same. Am I right or wrong? [You are right.] Do you like me? [Yes!] Do you want to live with me? [Yes.] Would you still want that if I spanked you three times a day? [Yes!] Do you still want to live with me? [Yes!] If I hit you, it will have a beneficial impact on the indemnity ceremony, right? So it will never be a loss to you, even if you are persecuted and attacked.

200

I explained to you on this historical day, the day of the Coronation Ceremony of God’s Kingship, the three most important things that humankind must uphold and by which you can be truly liberated in your family and your nation. Thus, I hope you can remember these memorable contents and keep them as the goals of your life. [Amen!] Applause. May you realize all the things to which you say “Amen.” Amen!
