Joshua 7

The Lord answered:

Stop lying there on the ground! Get up! 11 I said everything in Jericho belonged to me and had to be destroyed. But the Israelites have kept some of the things for themselves. They stole from me and hid what they took. Then they lied about it. 12 What they stole was supposed to be destroyed, and now Israel itself must be destroyed. I cannot help you anymore until you do exactly what I have said. That’s why Israel turns and runs from its enemies instead of standing up to them.

13 Tell the people of Israel, “Tomorrow you will meet with the Lord your God, so make yourselves acceptable to worship him. The Lord says that you have taken things that should have been destroyed. You won’t be able to stand up to your enemies until you get rid of those things.

Daniel 5

When Daniel was brought in, the king said:

So you are Daniel, one of the captives my father brought back from Judah! 14 I was told that the gods have given you special powers and that you are intelligent and very wise. 15 Neither my advisors nor the men who talk with the spirits of the dead could read this writing or tell me what it means. 16 But I have been told that you understand everything and that you can solve difficult problems. Now then, if you can read this writing and tell me what it means, you will become the third most powerful man in my kingdom. You will wear royal purple robes and have a gold chain around your neck.

There can be only one conclusion of
all human values. What is at the core of
that conclusion? It is true love. If you
were asked what true love is, you would
not be able to define it. The ideological
view of the Unification Church is to cre-
ate one world based on love. It dictates
clearly and in concrete terms how an
individual, a family, and a tribe should
live. That set of laws is not just some con-
ception of Rev. Moon. It reflects the laws
of heaven. Otherwise, we would not be
able to register in the next world. (147-194,
1986.9.21)
From the theoretical perspective,
there will no longer be anything to
explain with regard to God’s will. Every-
thing has been completed. The time has
now come for us to turn over a new leaf.
Now that we are carrying on the histo-
ry bequeathed to us from God and True
Parents, the era of registration will soon
arrive. Then you will have to be regis-
tered. Have you all become like God and
True Parents in the position of sons and
daughters of God? It is easy to say, but
not to fulfill. Whether asleep or awake,
you must always keep this in mind. These
thoughts must accompany you wherever
you go, and whatever you do, whether
you are eating or sleeping. In order to
do so, you need to experience residing
in the homeland before passing on to the
next world. (201-234, 1990.4.22)
Through the Fall, everything that
should not exist, everything that is con-
trary to the way of heaven, is overflowing
in this world. It all needs to be eradicat-
ed. It needs to be separated from God’s
world. Words alone are not enough to
achieve this. The world is filled with the
variegated customs and habitual life-
styles of different races, from the vari-
ous historical and cultural backgrounds
which are connected to each other only
through the love, life, and lineage of
Satan. Therefore, it will not be easy to
eliminate all this.
This is the reason why it is written
in the Bible, those who seek to die will
live. This is how the paradoxical logic
is formed. Those who seek to die will
live. In other words, you need to invest
your life into this. Therefore, everything
needs to be bleached and washed, that is,
restored through indemnity. Such a pro-
cess is absolutely necessary. If this is not
carried out, and you are still left with the
habitual tendencies or criminal nature
as remnants of the satanic world, you
cannot form a relationship with God.
(213-98, 1991.1.16)

You will not be able to find the path
of salvation in following your present
habitual lifestyles. You need to walk a
completely new path of atonement. The
providence of salvation is that of resto-
ration, and the providence of restora-
tion is that of re-creation. In accordance
with this, in order to be recreated, you
need to be restored to the original posi-
tion before the Fall, the state of complete
self-denial. In such a state, there would
be no self-awareness, no habits, and no
surnames like Kim or Lee, as at pres-
ent. You need to attain such a state of
emptiness. Taking into consideration
God’s original standard of creation, you
can see that every being created by Him
was initiated from a state of non-being.
(213-98, 1991.1.16)
The members of the Unification
Church cannot live as they please. You
cannot deceive your own conscience,
can you? Can you deceive your con-
science? As long as you cannot deceive
your conscience, you cannot deceive the
family register of the Kingdom of God.
Everything is recorded. Every action I
take, be it the raising of my hand, is vid-
eotaped, isn’t it? If it is possible to record
such things in the physical world, do
you think it would be impossible in the
Kingdom of God? If you wanted to find
out how a particular Blessed Family is
doing, all you would need to do is press
a button. You would then be able to see
not only their childhood, but even their
ancestors. It would take less than an
instant. It would not take long at all. On
earth, there is the concept of time, but in
the spirit world it would be finished in
the blink of an eye. (148-290, 1986.10.25)
Even if a new bride was indescrib-
ably beautiful, if she was married into a
renowned noble family, she would have
to follow the rules of her new family. If
she failed to comply with those rules,
she would be banished. Can you imag-
ine how hard that would be? It would be
all the more difficult if the lifestyle, hab-
its, and customs of the two families were
very different. Keeping in time with a
life filled with rules and regulations, and
maintaining love, would not be easy. It
would be very difficult. If you failed to
live according to them, you would be
banished. (184-243, 1989.1.1)
Absolute obedience! You need to
practice absolute obedience. These are
not the words of True Father. These
words are in accordance with the Prin-
ciple viewpoint. This is real, not just a
concept. Absolute faith! Absolute love!
Absolute obedience! Only then can
individualism be turned upside down.
Only then will Satan flee. Satan will flee!
Therefore, you need to practice absolute
obedience.
If North and South America fol-
lowed this way, they would be united. I
am talking about absolute faith, absolute
love, and absolute obedience. That is the
right track. You need to follow this track.
Once you are standing in such a posi-
tion, you are able to restore the lineage,
the right of ownership, and the realm of
heart. Through the restoration of your
tribe, you are able to claim, “This nation
is my nation. It is absolutely my nation!
The family, tribe, a people, and nation
are all absolutely mine!” (269-94, 1995.4.8)
Adam and Eve lost the standard
through which they could practice abso-
lute faith, absolute love, and absolute
obedience. They entered unprincipled
marriage, thereby defiling the lineage,
completely overturning the right of
ownership, and bringing into ruin their
whole tribe. Therefore, the absolute res-
toration of the lineage must take place.
In other words, you need to protect
the pure lineage of True Parents so that
it can be passed down to your descen-
dants eternally. Adam and Eve failed
to do so and entered a fallen relation-
ship. Therefore, you need to maintain
purity and be blessed in marriage. You
can then restore the absolute lineage,
the absolute right of ownership, and the
absolute realm of heart. This should be
our motto, in fact three mottos. (269-94,
1995.4.8)
