You Must Restore 160 Families

² The kingdom of heaven is like what happened when a king gave a wedding banquet for his son. ³ The king sent some servants to tell the invited guests to come to the banquet, but the guests refused. ⁴ He sent other servants to say to the guests, “The banquet is ready! My cattle and prize calves have all been prepared. Everything is ready. Come to the banquet!”

⁵ But the guests did not pay any attention. Some of them left for their farms, and some went to their places of business. ⁶ Others grabbed the servants, then beat them up and killed them.

⁷ This made the king so furious that he sent an army to kill those murderers and burn down their city. ⁸ Then he said to the servants, “It is time for the wedding banquet, and the invited guests don’t deserve to come. ⁹ Go out to the street corners and tell everyone you meet to come to the banquet.” ¹⁰ They went out on the streets and brought in everyone they could find, good and bad alike. And the banquet room was filled with guests.

¹¹ When the king went in to meet the guests, he found that one of them wasn’t wearing the right kind of clothes for the wedding. ¹² The king asked, “Friend, why didn’t you wear proper clothes for the wedding?” But the guest had no excuse. ¹³ So the king gave orders for that person to be tied hand and foot and to be thrown outside into the dark. That’s where people will cry and grit their teeth in pain. ¹⁴ Many are invited, but only a few are chosen.

Richard:  This is playing out now with the upcoming Book of Life Registration Blessing on Feb 28, 2018 in Newfoundland, PA.  Pastor Hyung Jin Moon has explained that the  accoutrements of Kings and Queens in Cheon Il Guk are Crowns and Rods of Iron, specified as an AR 15 type rifle.  Here is the definition of accoutrement:
additional items of dress or equipment, or other items carried or worn by a person or used for a particular activity.
These are the Biblical items of dress specified above.

2 Kings 20

¹³ Hezekiah welcomed^[e] the messengers and showed them all the silver, the gold, the spices, and the fine oils that were in his storehouse. He even showed them where he kept his weapons. Nothing in his palace or in his entire kingdom was kept hidden from them.

¹⁴ Isaiah asked Hezekiah, “Where did these men come from? What did they want?”

“They came all the way from Babylonia,” Hezekiah answered.

¹⁵ “What did you show them?” Isaiah asked.

Hezekiah answered, “I showed them everything in my kingdom.”

¹⁶ Then Isaiah told Hezekiah:

¹⁹ Hezekiah thought, “At least our nation will be at peace for a while.” So he told Isaiah, “The message you brought me from the Lord is good.”

Richard:  Too many people are complacent and not thinking of the future.  We are now in a perilous situation where we are just one generation away from the United States being permanently degraded.  Those who understand the importance of Godly values and our constitutional freedoms are primarily those who are now around age 60.  This group is the one that enabled President Trump to win the last election.  (see my book review of The Day Christians Changed America:  http://www.visionroot.org/resources/book-reviews/book-review-the-day-christians-changed-america/.  If the younger generations do not understand these foundations of our freedom, then those who farm people for profits (such as big Pharma companies via dangerous vaccines), as well as manipulative large bankers, will gain ascendance as the dumbed-down population gleefully enjoy their (temporary) morsels.

2.2.2. Fulfillment of restoration of
160 families
You must raise all the members
of your tribes into Blessed Families,
between 160 and 180 couples. Only then
can you be registered in the kingdom.
Centering on this, you can seek the
nation. Since such a time has arrived,
should you become tribal messiahs, or
not? This era is not an era of individual
salvation. We are living in an age when
the family, tribe, nation, and world can
all be restored at the same time. So, if
you continue to linger at the level of the
family, what do you think will happen?
(285-207, 1997.5.4)
Blessed families must fulfill the mis-
sion of tribal messiahs. Jesus did not
accomplish this because he could not
unite 120 families. By uniting 160 fami-
lies, the tribal messiahs must fulfill their
missions. This time, by bringing togeth-
er and uniting 160 families on the world
level, you can create family messiahs
who can settle down on earth based on
fulfilling what Jesus could not achieve,
and establish a new history of unfallen
true parents. Only when you have car-
ried this out can registration take place.
Only then can you be registered into
the nation of God and that nation can
become yours. You will be included in
the family register of that nation. True
Father carried on with this task amid
persecution from all sides, but you can
carry out the same work and bring
together 160 families, not amid perse-
cution, but amid welcome. In this way,
in being welcomed by 160 families, you
can restore through indemnity what
True Father has achieved in 160 nations
while surrounded by opposition. (266-182,
1994.12.25)
Since we have entered the era of
kingship, True Father is sending messi-
ahs to a great number of nations, name-
ly 160 nations, on behalf of God. God
carried out the work of salvation until
now through one messiah. True Father,
on the other hand, settled on earth in
his endeavors to carry out God’s work
of salvation, and the world became free
of Satan. True Father is therefore able
to dispatch Blessed Families across the
world in order to fulfill their mission as
tribal messiahs. If these tribal messiahs
were to connect to all the family mes-
siahs and be registered into the nation
of God, then the way that leads to the
restored world would be opened. (274-184,
1995.10.29)
Once the 160 nations are united into
one, the world and cosmos will auto-
matically come to be united as well. You
must understand that Father has com-
pleted 160 nations. The question is how
will you complete 160 families? How will
you save 160 families as tribal messiahs?
By succeeding in this, you can then be
connected to the accomplishment of
True Parents’ completion of 160 nations.
You can then be registered. If your fam-
ily is restored in this manner, then based
on the 160 families, the nation would be
restored as well, resulting in the simul-
taneous restoration of all 160 nations.
That is why tribal messiahs are needed.
(267-110, 1995.1.3)
Through the Fall of Adam and
Eve, not only Adam’s family but also
his whole tribe was lost. The kingdom
would have been built in only seven gen-
erations. In seven generations, the foun-
dation for the Kingdom of Heaven on
earth would have been completed cen-
tering on Adam’s clan, but these seven
generations failed to inherit the lineage
of God. A few thousand families would
have come from seven generations. The
individual symbolizes formation, the
family symbolizes growth, and the tribe
symbolizes the completion stage. They
all belong in one category. They can-
not be separated, even if you try. The
process involves three stages. That is
why you cannot live alone on the path
of faith all the way to completion. You
need to live for your family and your
tribe. Unless you cross the stage of the
tribe, you cannot enter the realm of the
world as a nation. You all know that you
cannot enter the worldwide nation, the
territory that is the world without first
restoring a tribe, don’t you? Only after
blessing at least 160 families can you
be registered into the Kingdom of God.
Just saying the words is not enough. We
need to actually practice them. (275-214,
1995.12.30)
What you must understand is that, if
there were no tribal messiahs, it would
be the same as losing the legs on which
to resurrect, according to the principle of
rebirth. Tribal messiahs cannot be regis-
tered before first restoring 160 families.
The time of registration will make a dif-
ference of thousands of generations. You
must realize that even among the five
billion world population, gaps of genera-
tions will be created. Therefore, by sum-
moning up all your strength, you need
to carry out the duties of tribal messiah.
(265-142, 1994.11.20)
Those who are registered centering
on True Parents will become the ances-
tors of the future. They will become
ancestors of the next world, and based
on the mainstream tribe and everyone
from the collateral family lines, tribes
will be created. That is why you need to
be registered. You cannot be registered
without doing anything for it. You first
need to restore 160 or 180 couples. Those
who have failed to accomplish this will
be eliminated. The era in which you
could assert your position as one of the
36 Couples has already passed. We are
now living in the era of equalization,
and the only issue in this era is who will
be the first to fulfill that responsibility.
(286-247, 1997.8.11)
