The Unification Church is setting up the absolute substantial standard that Adam and Jesus failed to establish due to the interference of Satan. The Holy Wedding Ceremony was initiated in 1960 by establishing Father’s family. Thereafter, we had to form the realm of the tribe, going beyond the realm of the family. In order to create the realm of the tribe, we should stand in the position of the apostles who were united into one with Jesus. If Jesus had formed a family after he had established a relationship with his apostles as the subject, then the apostles would in turn have been able to create families of their own. In this way, a new realm of tribe would have been formed within Judaism. (55-147, 1972.5.7

Life passes by very quickly. After attaining maturity and coming to know the affairs of the world, doing things here and there, you will find yourselves crossing the forty-year mark, and soon after that, the fifty-year mark. A decade will fly by in the twinkling of an eye, and in what will seem like only seconds, you will be sixty years old. Then very soon you will be seventy, but only for a minute before you age again. When you think about it, the saying, “Life is but a fleeting dream,” has never sounded so true. (188-38, 1989.2.16)
Peace
The Peace of God
God is the source of peace. When we look around us and see only conflict and war, when we despair of finding peace on earth, we turn to God, the King of peace. When God comes to us, he soothes the anger in our breasts and lets us see our enemy from a different perspective, as a brother or sister. God is love; therefore with God we gain the power to love even our enemy. (see chapter 13: Love Your Enemy) therefore, the key to peace is to live with God, and to manifest God’s love.
Father Moon adds an additional insight: since God’s love dwells especially in the thick relationships of marriage and family, the God-centered, peaceful family is the actual building block of a peaceful society, nation and world.
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men!
Luke 2.14
May the lord lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace.
Numbers 6.26
God is peace, his name is peace, and all is bound together in peace.2
Zohar 3.10b (Judaism)
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you.
John 14.27
Allah summons to the abode of Peace, and leads whom He will to a straight path.
Qur’an 10.25
The whole of the Torah is for the purpose of promoting peace.
Talmud, Gittin 59b (Judaism)
Thou dost keep him in perfect peace,
whose mind is stayed on thee,
because he trusts in thee.
Isaiah 26.3
Our Father, it is thy universe, it is thy will:
Let us be at peace, let the souls of the people be cool.
Thou art our Father, remove all evil from our path.
Nuer Prayer (African Traditional Religions)
A man is a true Muslim when no other Muslim has to fear anything from either his tongue or his hand.
Hadith of Bukhari (Islam)
Tao invariably takes no action, and yet there is nothing left undone.
If kings and barons can keep it, all things will transform spontaneously.
If, after transformation, they should desire to be active,
I would restrain them with simplicity, which has no name.
Simplicity, which has no name, is free of desires.
Being free of desires, it is tranquil.
And the world will be at peace of its own accord.
Tao Te Ching 37 (Taoism)
