Leaders Need to Understand Rev. Moon’s Vision

CSG 2214

Those who are truly filial in their fam-
ilies are on the direct road to becoming
the loyal subjects of their nation. Those
who are truly loyal to their nation are
on the direct road to becoming saints.
Please understand this. Therefore, deter-
mining to absolutely love your parents is
the pathway of becoming filial children
in your family. Determining to absolute-
ly love the sovereign and all the citizens
of your country is the pathway of loyal
subjects. Determining to absolutely love
the world is the pathway of saints.
Even the king of a country must fol-
low the saint and absolutely believe him.
Patriots and loyal subjects must follow
their king, and filial children must fol-
low the patriots. There is only one way.
Then who must the saints follow? They
must follow God. God has eternal,
unchanging and unique love. The saint,
the king, the loyal subject and the fil-
ial child must all go the same course of
eternal and unchanging love. Whatever
detours you may take, you will always
have to get back on the right track in
order to stay on course.
The individual, family, tribe and
nation are all to go this way. But there will
be obligations to your parents as well as
to your nation. If you are torn between
these obligations and are unable to ful-
fill both of them simultaneously, where
should your priorities lie? Between fil-
ial piety and loyalty to your nation, you
should give preference to the latter. This
conforms to the rule of law. The reason
for this is that the nation encompasses
the families and parents. (99-67, 1978.7.23)

Jonah 1

12 Jonah told them, “Throw me into the sea, and it will calm down. I’m the cause of this terrible storm.”

13 The sailors tried their best to row to the shore. But they could not do it, and the storm kept getting worse every minute. 14 So they prayed to the Lord, “Please don’t let us drown for taking this man’s life. Don’t hold us guilty for killing an innocent man. All of this happened because you wanted it to.” 15 Then they threw Jonah overboard, and the sea calmed down. 16 The sailors were so terrified that they offered a sacrifice to the Lord and made all kinds of promises.

17 The Lord sent a big fish to swallow Jonah, and Jonah was inside the fish for three days and three nights.

Comfort God’s Heart as Rev. Moon Has Done

CSG p. 2072 pr 1

I told everyone to return to their
hometowns, didn’t I? I also came to the
Republic of Korea and won over all the
top men. We’re at the point that when
people hear the name Rev. Moon men-
tioned they say, “That man is a patriot!”
As you approach even the prominent
people in society and ask them, “We’re
doing this and that in order to hold a
national conference to prepare for a uni-
fied election of North and South Korea.
Will you support us or oppose us?” They
will answer, “Why should we oppose
you? Of course we’ll support!” We get
this affirmation as we work. Until now
no one has given us such affirmation. If
they do oppose me, I will flex my mus-
cles a bit and knock them out of their
position. If I intervene, then no matter
how relentless the argument or how loud
the protest, it will all dissipate. Know-
ing that, all of you must breakthrough at
your tong and ban levels. (213-51, 1991.1.13)

Isaiah 55

8 The Lord says:
“My thoughts and my ways
    are not like yours.
9 Just as the heavens
    are higher than the earth,
my thoughts and my ways
    are higher than yours.

10 “Rain and snow fall from the sky.
But they don’t return
    without watering the earth
that produces seeds to plant
    and grain to eat.
11 That’s how it is with my words.
    They don’t return to me
without doing everything
    I send them to do.”

So when you come before your par-
ents, you should say, “Yes, Mother and
Father, you are right.” When your par-
ents remind you, “No matter how great
your reputation is and how powerful
you may be, you cannot do things that
deviate from your duty to your moth-
er and father,” you will reply, “Yes, yes,
yes, Mother and Father, you are right.”
Why? Because of love. It is because par-
ents are the subject partners, and chil-
dren are the object partners. The subject
partner serves the object partner, and
the object partner follows the subject
partner. This is the Principle of Heaven.
When this principle is breached, that
house will collapse and end up worth-
less. However ignorant or uneducated a
person may be, he knows the Principle
of Heaven because he is born in accor-
dance with heavenly nature. Therefore,
even the strongest champion has to bow
his head to his parents. (50-134, 1971.11.6)

4.6. We go to the spirit world after
leaving our love behind

Many people went to the spirit world
while following me. They infiltrated the
Soviet Union’s satellite countries and
main cities. Sometimes I even received
reports of them being sentenced to
death due to their missionary activities.
Receiving such reports, a leader’s heart
is serious. Even if his child is seriously
ill, he has no time to worry about him.
They respect me because I care for the
world. I am in the position to shed tears
for them and care for them. For that rea-
son, I cannot live an easy life.

Your families represent the sover-
eignty of God’s Kingdom. The parents
stand on behalf of this sovereignty. The
children stand in the stead of the citi-
zens, and the material possessions rep-
resent the land of that kingdom. Subse-
quently, being filial to one’s parents is
the same as being loyal to one’s nation,
and also leads one to fulfill one’s duties
as a saint. At present, the family has
become the origin of many disgraceful
acts, but God hopes that the family will
be transformed into sanctified ground.
Therefore, the mission to save corrupted
families in the fallen realm lies with us.
Though families worldwide are shatter-
ing, we are not in a position to abandon
them. (35-306, 1970.10.30)

p. 1511 pr 1

I blessed the 124 Couples repre-
senting the world’s 120 nations and the
number four, on the global level, on the
foundation of having established the
center of tribes. What this means is that
families have been formed that will rep-
resent the center of all Christianity that
originated from Jesus’ 120 followers,
who themselves symbolized the founda-
tion of 120 nations. These therefore are
couples whose responsibility it will be
to achieve the four-position foundation
on the individual level under my leader-
ship, and bring together the ancestors,
the races, and finally the world. As such,
from now on, the way will be opened for
all nations of the world to move toward
one common destination. (75-150, 1975.1.2)

Hoondokhwae is the treasure chest
that I stored up under all sorts of hard-
ships and deprivations and that I have
opened up to the people. I have told
everyone not to translate it; it cannot be
translated. You should do hoondokh-
wae until I say otherwise. You must
know that. You should do hoondokh-
wae whenever time permits. You should
always keep a speech book in your pocket
and do hoondokhwae even when you are
alone, even in the bathroom, and keep a
record of the part you have read, even if
it was for a couple of hours a day.
You already know that you must read
The Way of God’s Will and the Divine
Principle, but you should also read Bless-
ing and Ideal Family and all the oth-
er major speeches because they are the
records of victory over the satanic world.
In the Unification Church, you should
become one with these sermons, which
include all past battles of the True Par-
ents up to the present. By uniting with
and following these contents, you will
become one with True Parents. These
sermons should take root in yourself,
in your family and extended family up
to seven generations, and then in 160
or 180 families horizontally, all united
together. (288-16, 1997.10.31)

Jeremiah 33

 You’ve heard foreigners insult my people by saying, “The Lord chose Israel and Judah, but now he has rejected them, and they are no longer a nation.”

25 Jeremiah, I will never break my agreement with the day and the night or let the sky and the earth stop obeying my commands. 26 In the same way, I will never reject the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob or break my promise that they will always have a descendant of David as their king. I will be kind to my people Israel, and they will be successful again.
