Of course, the True Parents are in the
center and make a spiritual relationship
with everyone. Since there is only one
set of True Parents, however, they can-
not relate with everyone personally. That
is why the Blessed Families are the rep-
resentatives of True Parents and stand
in the position to relate with all people.
True Parents have the responsibility to
go over this nation and bear the cross on
the worldwide level. Therefore, the cross
of the people should be carried by the
Blessed Families who live locally as true
children of True Parents. All Blessed
Families must serve as the foundation
of a tribe and of a people in order for the
works of Heaven to gain victory based
on such a people.

Today, Your son by the name of Moon
celebrates his seventy-seventh year in
this world. The era has come in which
we can connect the Sabbath year with
the number of a new beginning, rising
above the numbers seven and eight by
connecting eight number sevens based
on 7 minutes 7 seconds past 7 o’clock
of the 7th day of the 7th lunar month
in 1997, and my 77 years of age. Now,
therefore, Unification Church members
can form families inheriting the heaven-
ly authority and traditions of love, and
thus attend You and offer You a dwell-
ing place on the levels of nation, world
and cosmos. Through these families, the
foundation of the Sabbath in which You
and the True Parents can freely come
and go will be connected from the fam-
ily to the cosmos. The time is close at
hand when we will cross the boundary
that separates us from the simultane-
ous establishment of Your right of king-
ship on earth and in heaven, which will
allow us to achieve complete oneness
with You. In such a manner this work
has been accomplished. Continue reading “Become People of Substantial Faith by Becoming a Blessed Family”

I would like to
speak on the topic, “The Path for Amer-
ica and Humanity in the Last Days.”
From the historical perspective of God’s
providence of salvation, the Last Days
are those of the evil history of Satan’s
sovereignty and the starting point of the
good history of God’s sovereignty.
Accordingly, they are the time when
God’s entire providence is to be accom-
plished; that is, when perfection of the
individual, family, ethnic people, nation,
world, and finally cosmos are to be real-
ized. Each time God heralded the Last
Days in the course of His providence, He
sought to guide human beings through
an ideology centered on Him, but they
failed to fulfill their portion of respon-
sibility to stand in the position of good-
ness and terminate evil history.

Psalm 5

You are my King and my God.
Answer my cry for help
    because I pray to you.
3 Each morning you listen
    to my prayer,
as I bring my requests[b] to you
    and wait for your reply.

4 You are not the kind of God
who is pleased with evil.
    Sinners can’t stay with you.
5 No one who boasts can stand
in your presence, Lord,
    and you hate evil people.
6 You destroy every liar,
    and you despise violence
    and deceit.

Ezekiel 15

6 I, the Lord God, promise that just as the wood of a grapevine is burned as firewood, 7 I will punish the people of Jerusalem with fire. Some of them have escaped one destruction, but soon they will be completely burned. And when that happens, you, Ezekiel, will know that I am the Lord. 8 I will make their country an empty wasteland, because they have not been loyal to me. I, the Lord God, have spoken.

Job 18

18 Bildad from Shuah[a] said:

2 How long will you talk?
    Be sensible! Let us speak.
3 Or do you think that we
    are dumb animals?
4 You cut yourself in anger.
Will that shake the earth
    or even move the rocks?

5 The lamps of sinful people
soon are snuffed out,
6     leaving their tents dark.
7 Their powerful legs become weak,
and they stumble on schemes
    of their own doing.
8 Before they know it,
9 they are trapped
in a net,
10     hidden along the path.
11 Terror strikes and pursues
    from every side.
12 Starving, they run,
    only to meet disaster,
13 then afterwards to be eaten alive
    by death itself.

It is sad to be a citizen of a country
with no sovereignty. Jesus was very con-
cerned about this point. He told people
not to worry about where their food,
drink or clothes would come from; that
these are the matters that the ungodly
are always concerned about. He said,
“Your Father in heaven knows that you
need all these things. Instead, above
everything else, be concerned with his
Kingdom and with what He requires,
and He will provide you with all these
other things.” Did Jesus say save your
son first, or save the nation first? He said
to save the nation that God is seeking.
(34-337, 1970.9.20)

Richard:  Once again God tells us to focus on His Kingdom and His Righteousness, not the everyday necessities of food, shelter, etc.

What way should you go? First you
are recognized by family members in
the satanic world, then by me. After that,
you go to God in the spirit world. That
is the way to go, by the way of the law.
Going that way is the right direction. If
there are any conditions for accusation,
they will join forces to accuse you in the
flesh. It will be a judgment of substance.
Will lies work in that situation? Doing
something unwillingly is like not doing
it at all. If you do it thinking of God and
Father, their essence will be embedded
inside your shell, like a fully mature
chestnut embedded inside the burr.
When you think of God and me dwell-
ing in your heart, my words and God’s
Word will become your core. Continue reading “God is Looking for Goodness to Replace the Evil”

Once you become the head of the
family, all your relatives will go out to
fight if there’s a battle. Then you can
take a rest while commanding them!
That is why I have told you to take up
the mission as tribal messiahs. What am
I telling you to do? I am telling you to do
your mission as tribal messiahs. Until
now, in reality, you have lived away
from home. Now you must go look for
your hometown. You must break into
tears and put your whole heart into your
hometown.
Just as the Israelites lived in Egypt
for four hundred years, we have done the
same for the past forty-three years. Now
we must return to our hometown and
let love take root. You must love God,
your parents, and your brothers and sis-
ters. You must disconnect the source by
which the worldwide Satan can falsely
accuse you. The establishment of the ide-
al heavenly kingdom in the blessed land
of Canaan was not fulfilled because the
Israelites could not remove that source.
Therefore, do not expect anything from
the satanic world. Even if we must con-
tinue carrying a burden, we are the best.
Even if we get cursed or the dog in the
village barks at us at night, we are the
best. You must go forward, progressing
by digesting the villages and marching
proudly with an outcry of love. With
this in mind, I want you to fight onward.
(178-139, 1988.6.1)

Ezekiel 34

23 After that, I will give you a shepherd from the family of my servant King David. All of you, both strong and weak, will have the same shepherd, and he will take good care of you. 24 He will be your leader, and I will be your God. I, the Lord, have spoken.
