Therefore, if the secret emissary’s
spirit of working for the homeland, the
homeland that can support and pro-
tect eternal life is not hundreds of times
stronger than the environment, he can-
not live as a secret emissary. He needs
to be able to ignore his current situation
by thinking of how all the people of the
world will rejoice when all resentments
have been erased. He has to look to the
homeland’s glory, and while creating
a new history, think that all his efforts
will be known and recognized on the
one day when he sees the birth of the
homeland. Without having that kind of
mind, he cannot carry out an emissary’s
secret mission. In other words, his mind
must contain a hope for the dawning of
a homeland that is a thousand times, ten
thousand times greater than his hopes
for the present reality, in order to be able
to overcome all resentments and execute
his secret mission.

Just as Adam and Eve fell as teenagers
in the shade of a tree, with the coming of
the Last Days of Judgment which brings
the fruits of world history, today’s youth
all over the world have fallen into free
sex. What is free sex? It is the trap of the
devil’s Sodom and Gomorrah. It stimu-
lates young people’s sensuality, and then
it is all finished. Everything falls over
the cliff. What kind of disco dances do
young people dance? The twist is like a
snake’s dance. Doesn’t the snake twist
its body? To twist means to turn part of
your body. Just as the devil has sown, he
will popularize this around the world to
tempt humanity. (208-263, 1990.11.20)

God

Unchanging and Eternal

Unchanging and eternal—the Absolute Being in all religions is depicted as having these qualities. Conversely, all beings, things and phenomena in the world are transient, impermanent and relative; from that perspective, they cannot have a reciprocal relationship with the Absolute Being. Human beings have both types of qualities: we value what is unchanging, but at the same time we have changeable elements that make us less than trustworthy. Becoming a person of steadfastness and unchanging devotion is thus a key ingredient in making a relationship to God. Father Moon’s teaching on this point focuses on true love, which likewise has the qualities of unchangeability, absoluteness and eternity. He explains that even in God, these attributes exist mainly for the purpose of relating to His creatures in true love. Moreover, the demands of love test God’s unchangeability every day as He relates to human beings who are inconstant and treacherous.

I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.
Revelation 22.13

He is the First and the Last, the Outward and the Inward; and He is Knower of all things.
Qur’an 57.3

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
Hebrews 13.8

Nothing can ever destroy the Buddha Nature.
Mahaparinirvana Sutra 220 (Buddhism)

The great, unborn Self is undecaying, immortal, undying, fearless, infinite. Brihadaranyaka Upanishad 4.4.25 (Hinduism)

Moses said to God, “If I come to the people of Israel and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ what shall I say to them?” God said to Moses, “I Am Who I Am.” Exodus 3.13-14

Subhuti, if anyone should say that the Tathagata comes or goes or sits or reclines, he fails to understand my teaching. Why? Because ‘Thus Gone’ (Tathagata) has neither whence nor whither, and therefore he is called ‘Tathagata.’
Diamond Sutra 29 (Buddhism)

With the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
Peter 3.8

Who knows the Eternal’s day and the Eternal’s night, Each lasting a thousand ages, truly knows day and night. At daybreak all things are disclosed; they arise from the unmanifest. At dusk they dissolve into the very same unmanifest. Again and again, the whole multitude of creatures is born, and when night falls, Is dissolved, without their will, and at daybreak, is born again.21 Beyond that unmanifest is another, everlasting Unmanifest Which has no end, although every creature perish. This is called the Imperishable Unmanifest and the Highest Goal. Who reaches it does not return. It is my supreme abode.
Bhagavad-Gita 8.17-21 (Hinduism)

All that is on the earth will perish: But will abide forever the face of thy Lord— full of Majesty, Bounty, and Honor.
Qur’an 55.26-27

In primal time, in all time, was the Creator; Nothing is real but the Eternal. Nothing shall last but the Eternal.
Adi Granth, Japuji 1, M.1, p. 1 (Sikhism)

All flesh is grass, and all its beauty is like the flower of the field. The grass withers, the flower fades, when the breath of the Lord blows upon it… The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever. Isaiah 40.6-8

Even ornamented royal chariots wear out. So too the body reaches old age. But the Dhamma of the Good grows not old. Thus do the Good reveal it among the Good.
Dhammapada 151 (Buddhism)

By detachment from appearances, abide in Real Truth. So I tell you, “Thus shall you think of all this fleeting world:

A star at dawn, a bubble in a stream;
A flash of lightning in a summer cloud,
A flickering lamp, a phantom, a dream.”
Diamond Sutra 32 (Buddhism)

There is, monks, a condition where there is neither the element of extension, the element of cohesion, the element of heat, nor the element of motion, nor the sphere of the infinity of space, nor the sphere of the infinity of consciousness, nor the sphere of nothingness, nor the sphere of neither-perception-nor-non-perception; neither this world, nor a world beyond, nor sun and moon. There, monks, I say, there is neither coming nor going nor staying nor passing away nor arising. Without support or mobility or basis is it. This is indeed the end of suffering. That which is Selfless, hard it is to see; Not easy is it to perceive the Truth. But who has ended craving utterly Has naught to cling to, he alone can see. There is, monks, an unborn, a not-become, a not-made, a not-compounded. If, monks, there were not this unborn, not-become, not-made, not-compounded, there would not here be an escape from the born, the become, the made, the compounded. But because there is an unborn, a not-become, a not-made, a not-compounded, therefore there is an escape from the born, the become, the made, the compounded.
Udana 80 (Buddhism)

When God reaches the point where
He can embrace both vertical and hor-
izontal love, He will finally make the
transition to the age when He can go
beyond the world into the central posi-
tion and reorganize the original, ideal
authority. Then He will say, “Every-
thing is done.” (177-345, 1988.5.22)

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1661

Ideally, Adam and Eve as a loving
couple giving birth to a child would
be the same as standing in God’s posi-
tion as the Parent, wherein His invisi-
ble Self, that is His internal nature and
external form, united and lovingly cre-
ated His children. The first Creator, the
invisible God, created Adam and Eve as
the visible second creators, and by their
giving birth to children from the posi-
tion of substantial second gods, they
are elevated to the position of parents.
Through these young children’s growth,
God’s past history is displayed substan-
tially, which also includes Adam and
Eve’s infancy, siblinghood, matrimony
and parenthood. Thus, parents desire
to love and be close to their children
because they are their second selves. (258-
240, 1994.3.20)

Chapter 1
God

Immanent and Dwelling within the Heart

Abiding within the heart, God is near at hand to each of us, if only we would notice. In the Bible, God’s immanence is described in the revelation to Elijah, where instead of a grand manifestation in earthquake and storm, God appeared as “a still small voice.” Through faith and humility we can sense God’s presence within. Yet God is in fact near to all, even though most are blind and deaf to His reality. In the Abrahamic religions, God’s immanence rarely leads to identification with the soul itself, but Eastern traditions teach more thoroughgoing notions of divine immanence. Sufis interpret the qur’anic parable of the Lamp as expressing God’s presence in the heart as a light illuminating the body. In Hinduism, divine immanence is ontological: Ultimate Reality is the Self, the Atman. In Buddhism, it is realization by the mind of its true nature: the Essence of Mind (Tathata) or Buddha-nature. Yet these conceptions in no way make a simple identification of God with the individual soul (jiva), which is beclouded and deluded by an egoistic sense of self; see also Chapter 7: Enlightenment. The complete realization of the God within is a potential and ideal, because that is our God-given purpose. As Father Moon teaches, God created each of us to encompass the universe and correspond with God’s heart.

Behold, the kingdom of God is within you. Luke 17.21

We indeed created man; and We know what his soul whispers within him, and We are nearer to him than the jugular vein. Qur’an 50.16

For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and spirit, of joints and marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. And before him no creature is hidden, but all are open and laid bare to the eyes of him with whom we have to do. Hebrews 4.12-13

That mind which gives life to all the people in the world— such is the very mind which nourishes me! Moritake Arakida, One Hundred Poems about the World (Shinto)

Why do you go to the forest in search of God? He lives in all and is yet ever distinct; He abides with you, too, As a fragrance dwells in a flower, And reflection in a mirror; So does God dwell inside everything; Seek Him, therefore, in your heart. Adi Granth, Dhanasri, M.9, p. 684 (Sikhism)

For thus says the high and lofty One who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy, “I dwell in the high and holy place, and also with him who is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite.” Isaiah 57.15

In the golden city of the heart dwells The Lord of Love, without parts, without stain. Know him as the radiant light of lights. There shines not the sun, neither moon nor star, Nor flash of lightning, nor fire lit on earth. The Lord is the light reflected by all. He shining, everything shines after him. Mundaka Upanishad 2.2.10-11

God is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The parable of His Light is as if there were a Niche, and within it a Lamp; the Lamp enclosed in Glass: The Glass as it were a brilliant star: Lit from a blessed Tree, an olive neither of the East nor of the West, whose oil is well-nigh luminous, though fire scarce touched it. Light upon Light! God guides whom He will to His Light: God sets forth parables for men, and God knows all things. Qur’an 24.35

The Lord takes his stand upon hearing, sight, touch, taste, smell, and upon the mind. He enjoys what mind and senses enjoy. Deluded men cannot trace his course. Only the eye of wisdom sees him clothed in the states of existence, going forth, being in the body, or taking in experience. Disciplined men can also make an effort and see his presence in themselves. Bhagavad-Gita 15.9-11 (Hinduism)

I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. John 14.20

Daibai asked Baso, “What is Buddha?” Baso answered, “This very mind is the Buddha.” Mumonkan 30 (Buddhism)

Within our Essence of Mind the Three Bodies of Buddha (Trikaya) are to be found, and they are common to everybody. Because the mind labors under delusions, he knows not his own inner nature; and the result is that he ignores the Trikaya within himself, erroneously believing that they are to be sought from without. Within yourself you will find the Trikaya which, being the manifestation of the Essence of Mind, are not to be sought from without.17 Sutra of Hui Neng 6 (Buddhism)

God said to Elijah… “Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the Lord.” And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and broke in pieces the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake; and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice.18 1 Kings 19.11-12

Chapter 1
God

Omniscient and Omnipresent

Nothing is hidden from God, because He sees everything. He knows our past, our present and our future. There is no place to escape from God, because He is everywhere. Therefore, we should be sincere in our thoughts and careful about our actions. Not only is God aware of what we do; He also sympathizes with our difficulties. He is our companion in every situation; we are never alone. See also Chapter 11: Predestination.

To God belong the East and the West; wherever you turn, there is the Face of God; God is All-embracing, All-knowing. Qur’an 2.115

You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar. You search out my path and my lying down, and you are acquainted with all my ways. Psalm 139.2-3

Our Lord! Lo! You know that which we hide and that which we proclaim. Nothing in the earth or in heaven is hidden from God. Qur’an 14.38

In The Book of Songs it is said, In your secret chamber even you are judged; See you do nothing to blush for,
Though but the ceiling looks down upon you. Therefore the moral man, even when he is not doing anything, is serious; and, even when he does not speak, is truthful. Doctrine of the Mean 33 (Confucianism)

Mark well three things and you will not fall into the clutches of sin: know what is above you— an eye that sees, an ear that hears, and all your actions recorded in the book. Mishnah, Avot 2.1 (Judaism)

Surely God—He knows what is in the wombs. No soul knows what it shall earn tomorrow, and no soul knows in what land it shall die. Surely God is All-knowing, All-aware. Qur’an 31.34

The great Ruler of all these worlds, beholds as if from near at hand the man who thinks he acts by stealth: the Gods know all this of him. When one stands or walks or moves in secret, or goes to his lying down or uprising, when two sitting together take secret counsel, King Varuna knows, being there the Third… If one will go away beyond the heavens, still he cannot escape King Varuna; his envoys move about here from the heavens, and, thousand-eyed, they look upon the earth. King Varuna observes all that which lies between heaven and earth and beyond them; the twinklings of men’s eyes have been counted by him; as a dicer the dice, He measures everything. Atharva Veda 4.16.1-8 (Hinduism)

See you not that God knows all that is in the heavens and on earth? There is not a secret consultation between three unless He is their fourth, nor between five unless He is their sixth, nor between fewer or more unless He is in their midst, wherever they be. Qur’an 58.7

Whither shall I go from thy Spirit? Or whither shall I flee from thy presence? If I ascend to heaven, thou art there! If I make my bed in Sheol, thou art there! If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there thy hand shall lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me. Psalm 139.7-10

You who dive down as if under water to steal, Though no earthly king may have seen you, The King of heaven sees. Yoruba Proverb (African Traditional Religions)

The Unification Church Is the Third Israel

Cheon Seong Gyeong 2222

We might call Jesus Christ the King
of kings, the Lord of lords, or the main
representative of the Absolute Being.
However, there is no one who can stand
before him and be blessed with the title
of loyal subject or patriot. Please under-
stand this. No loyal subject, filial son,
or virtuous woman of heaven has yet
emerged.

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1303

When we consider Korea, we can say
that the people who do not believe in God
correspond to the first Israel, the mem-
bers of existing churches correspond to
the second Israel, and the Unification
Church corresponds to the third Israel.
That is why Satan is attacking the center
of this providence. (19-268, 1968.2.20)

I will bring distress on men,
so that they shall walk like the blind,
because they have sinned against the Lord;
their blood shall be poured out like dust,
and their flesh like dung.
Neither their silver nor their gold
shall be able to deliver them
on the day of the wrath of the Lord.
In the fire of his jealous wrath,
all the earth shall be consumed;
for a full, yea, sudden end
he will make of all the inhabitants of the earth.

Everyone must realize that free sex
is Satan’s domain of love filled with
ensnaring evil spirits to bring about the
downfall of humankind and expand
hell on earth. From the viewpoint of
the God of absolute love, the grand-
mother and grandfather are one; they
cannot be separated. They must abso-
lutely become one centering on God,
and centering on love. What is love? It
is fitting convex and concave together
absolutely; mother and father, husband
and wife, son and daughter – all must
unite in this way absolutely. This is what
God wants. (280-135, 1996.11.24)

Chapter 1
God
Sovereign and Omnipotent

God is sovereign over the universe. He rules over the affairs of men and women; He decides their destinies. At the same time, since human beings have freedom whether to submit to God’s sovereignty, the proper course is to recognize God’s authority over our lives and make Him our Lord. This leads to the question of whether God’s sovereignty can be absolute. In this world, the claim that God invariably establishes justice by punishing evil and rewarding goodness is difficult to maintain. Nevertheless, God’s ultimate sovereignty is certain. Father Moon teaches in some depth about this matter. He asserts the principle that God can be sovereign only when people are in a state of perfection where they can freely submit to His dominion, yet due to the Human Fall this condition was not obtained. Instead, the Devil took possession of this world by usurping the human heart. Therefore, it is first necessary to expel the power of evil from the world and make it a domain over which God can reign without limitation. That day, Father Moon asserts, is now at hand.

1. Almighty God

The Creator of the heavens and the earth; and when He decrees a thing, He but says to it “Be,” and it is. Qur’an 2.117

All that is in the heavens and the earth magnifies God; He is the All-mighty, the All-wise. To Him belongs the Kingdom of the heavens and the earth. He gives life, and He makes to die, and He is powerful over everything. He is the First and the Last, the Outward and the Inward; He has knowledge of everything. It is He that created the heavens and the earth in six days then seated Himself upon the Throne. He knows what penetrates into the earth, and what comes forth from it, what comes down from heaven, and what goes up into it. He is with you wherever you are; and God sees the things you do. To Him belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth; and unto Him all matters are returned. He makes the night enter into the day and makes the day enter into the night. He knows the thoughts within the breasts. Qur’an 57.1-6

If He so will, He can remove you and put in your place a new creation; that is surely no great matter for God. Qur’an 14.19-20

You are the one imperishable paramount necessary core of knowledge, The world’s ultimate foundation; you never cease to guard the eternal tradition. You are the everlasting Divine Being. There is no telling what is beginning, middle, or end in you. Your power is infinite; your arms reach infinitely far. Sun and moon are your eyes. This is how I see you. Your mouth is a flaming sacrificial fire. You burn up the world with your radiance. For you alone fill the quarters of heaven and the space between heaven and earth. The world above, man’s world, and the world in between are frightened at the awesome sight of you, O mighty being! Bhagavad-Gita 11.18-20

(Hinduism) O mankind! It is you that have need of God: but God is the One Free of all wants, worthy of all praise. Qur’an 35.15
