Educate Your Children and Become a Three Generation God-Centered Family

The big problem is how the three generations of the children of our Blessed Families can live with me.

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1262

    Who is the Messiah? He is the true parent. Then why do people need true parents? It is because they need to be engrafted to the original lineage through true parents’ love. Fallen humankind cannot rid itself of the original sin without the advent of true parents. Likewise, without the true parents, people cannot advance to the place where they can receive the Blessing on the perfected level as sin-free and liberated beings. (35-216, 1970.10.19)

    God’s invisible form is symbolically reflected in all parts of our body. Whose eyes do ours resemble? God’s! Hence, when you closely study the facial features of human beings, you see that the eyes are set deeper than other features. The deep-set eyes can thus observe everything. Next, the nose symbolizes Adam and Eve. It rests at the center. Next, the mouth symbolizes all the things of creation. It is horizontal and encloses thirty-two teeth, or four times eight, based on all the things of creation in the world and the number four. Next, the ears symbolize all directions. The features found above the neck symbolize heaven. In other words, it is the information center of heaven. (201- 83, 1990.3.4)

Summary:

True Father’s main concern is not preserving the church’s name, but ensuring that people inherit the tradition of the True Parents and properly educate the next generations. Although early church members suffered like refugees, families must now focus on winning spiritual battles to settle down and leave a proud legacy of overcoming hardship that is worth more than money. To become meritorious subjects in the spirit world, three generations must unite in faith, with parents boldly passing down a heavenly tradition of serving God and the nation rather than focusing on material comfort. Ultimately, by aligning with God’s global fortune and living for the sake of the world and eternity, families become a strong, protected seed that brings joy to all humankind and guarantees God’s continuous blessing.

Education Continues Throughout the Parents’ Entire Lifetime

They should offer sincere devotion.

    Where does love come from? Never from the self, but rather from one’s partner. Without a partner, love cannot arise. Within humankind, woman complements man, and children complement their parents. Love is not realized without partners. This is called “the love of three object partners.” Those who have not experienced the love of three object partners cannot stand in a position of having substantially experienced God’s perfect love.
    “Let us give birth to sons and daughters and rejoice to the same extent that God rejoiced after having created Adam and Eve.” This is taught in the Unification Church’s Divine Principle.
    Having created Adam and Eve, God said, “From now on, you will rule over the world. Our family will be the central family of the world. Please grow up quickly, grow up quickly.” He felt joy and satisfaction while protecting and nurturing them with hope, desiring to see the day of their marriage upon their coming of age. By the same token, fathers and mothers want to raise their children well, and find good partners for them to become good husbands and wives. When that happens, the family prospers. (57-119, 1972.5.29)

    What is it that you desire? You want to be people of the heavenly kingdom or children of the heavenly kingdom. This must be your desire. If you become people and children of the heavenly kingdom, the heavenly kingdom will naturally appear.
    Then, what kind of world is the heavenly kingdom? Is it a democratic world? Democracy is a means and a transitional ideology to make regime change easier when the Lord comes. When the Lord appears on earth, all the people of the world must follow him. The people as a whole must go before the Lord. Then, this would be convenient for organizing all the nations of the world into one nation.
    But democracy cannot unify the world. The experiment is already over. Can America itself lead the world? America itself is doomed. So the question is how to save America and guide it to govern the world. If this is God’s will, it has to be handled through the philosophy of the Unification Church, “Rev. Moonism.” Until this happens, there is no way for America to survive, and the bridge to the heavenly kingdom cannot be built by the American people.

Parents Exist for their Children

If parents lived for themselves, the word parent would not exist.

Cheon Seong Gyeong 2245

    Had Adam and Eve not fallen, they would have loved each other, but they would have loved each other in place of God. Thereby their daily lives would have manifested that of God. If they had liked something, He, too, would have liked it internally. If they had been sad, He, too, would have felt sadness internally because love would have belonged to Him and them. Being one love, it could only be like this. (95-248, 1977.12.4)

    What is the thing that Satan until now has held on to historically, based on the eight stages of the individual, family, tribe, people, nation, world, heaven and earth and God? He has been saying, “God, You are the Master who follows the heavenly principles, and Your son and daughter, the ideal Adam and Eve, that is, the True Parents, are a son and daughter who follow these principles. Because You, the Father who follows the Principle, created me as the archangel, it was a fundamental rule that before falling, I would have been able to receive Your love and the love of Your son. If You cannot love and work in that way, You will not be able to love the principled son as the principled Father.” This is the problem.

Summary

True parents exist entirely to live for their children, a selfless and joyful responsibility that forms the absolute foundation of moral principles. Unlike teachers or friends, parents are uniquely trustworthy, as even flawed parents naturally desire to teach their children to do good. A perfect life is achieved when you belong first to God, then to your children, and only last to yourself, allowing you to properly understand your place in the world through the balance of respecting parents and loving children. Ultimately, blessed families must strive to be worldly examples of love, where a father is so deeply respected as a teacher and friend that his children view him as second only to God and cherish their bond above all other relationships.

You Have to Be More Altruistic

What does that mean? The one who is most altruistic will become the leader.

    Beloved Heavenly Father! Today is July 1, 1991. We understand that the year 1991 is the very last crucial moment in the dispensational transition period. From the very first day of this year until the end of June, we have persevered through many complications and difficulties, and are now finally entering the month of July. Now that the first half of 1991 has passed, we understand that the second half of this year is the time in your providential history when we can reach the summit of new hope to enter the world of freedom and peace in Your kingdom.

    I was planning to have the 30,000 Couples visit the Songdo Beach Resort in North Korea, taking with them tents, each for ten people. It was a time when everything could be out in the open. The North Korean government even said, “We will do whatever you want.” I also notified the present South Korean government of this plan. Who prevented me from carrying it out? It was our government in the South. Still I did not perish. The bright morning sun dawns on the path that follows the heavenly way, but once you leave that path, you will be enveloped in total darkness. You will be plunged into complete and eternal darkness.

Summary:

Unificationists choose to live through spiritual hardship rather than material comfort because selfless sacrifice is the only way to melt God’s heart. To truly win people over and move their hearts, you must care for them like a loving parent, always putting their needs before your own; over time, this genuine care will make them completely open their doors and lives to you. True leaders, like God and parents, earn their central position by thinking of others first and stepping in to do what their partners need. When you constantly care for someone in this way, love naturally expands from individuals to the entire universe and spirit world. While people often think that being altruistic means losing out, living for others is actually a powerful universal principle that naturally draws people to you and makes you a central, precious person connected to the highest ideals.

Those who have completed restoration through indemnity, raise your hands. You no-goods! You fickle scoundrels! You ought to be beaten with a club; you have to be cursed! You should by struck by lightning! If you haven’t done it, even I cannot help you. I taught you everything clearly. The spirit world is transformed according to what I say. If you go there without doing that, you’ll be trapped. No matter how much husband and wife say they have loved their children, when they go to the spirit world that will all stop.
    Just as paradise has emerged in the spirit world, for the families in the Unification Church there will be a paradise where they stay before entering the Kingdom of Heaven. You won’t even be able to love there. How can you love each other? You won’t be able to love your own child, no matter how much you may want to. What will you do? Even though wives may tell their husbands, “You used to love me, so why do you act differently after coming here?” husbands won’t be able to love them. You won’t be able to love. In the position you are in, you are not supposed to love. (148-168, 1986.10.8)

    Today is November 5 in the second year of Cheon Il Guk, the forty-third True Children’s Day. We have brought together God’s Day, Children’s Day and the Day of All Things to announce the era of equalization for peace and unity centered on Cheon Il Guk which was not achieved in the family in the Garden of Eden. This era can bring to a conclusion the perfection of the family of Eden centered on humanity that expands to the heavenly world.
    After the completion of the Holy Burning Ceremony for the Peace, Unity and Liberation of Heaven and Earth, we are now in an age when God can freely and easily visit each family and live together with them in joy. I fervently pray that You bless us so that we can be in the same sphere of life. The hopes of the heavenly world can be found on earth and the hopes of the earthly world can be found in heaven. May the hopes of heaven and earth become one, forming a standard where the two are in balance. May the liberated path of loyalty and filial piety remain, and may the ancestors centered on heaven remain on earth.
    Today I have announced the arrival of Era of Equalization for Peace and Unity in Cheon Il Guk. We have now entered an age when we can build and officially create the initial stage of the Kingdom of Heaven. Therefore, let the anguish of the spirit world be dissolved and let the ancestors come down to earth to assist their descendants. Let the heads of denominations cooperate within this world through their followers. May they be free to take action in completely resolving and fully unblocking any unrighteous thing that had given concern to Heaven.
