Christians Do Not Know that Jesus Did Not Come to Die

Cheon Seong Gyeong 2142

Since receiving God’s calling as a boy
of sixteen, I have communicated freely
with Jesus as well as the saints and sages
in paradise, and have single-mindedly
devoted all my heart and energy, while
overcoming all manner of tribulation,
into accomplishing His will, which is to
build His kingdom of freedom, peace,
and liberation on earth and in heaven.
His original relationship with human-
kind is an eternal parent-child relation-
ship. The Fall refers to the severance of
that relationship and restoration to its
recovery.
I have established many different
peace movements as well as internation-
al organizations as a means of achiev-
ing the vision of ‘One World Under One
God’ in order to accomplish His will.
The International Blessing Ceremony
that you have witnessed is God’s strat-
egy to fundamentally resolve the racial,
religious, and national conflicts which
have resulted from the Fall. Five colors
of skin coming together in harmony as
true brothers and sisters and true hus-
bands and wives is the actualization of
the holy ideal of establishing ‘One World
Under One God.’

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1327

By accomplishing 3.6 million couples,
we will cross the final peak of the world,
and in so doing, we must establish more
national messiahs than there are mem-
ber countries in the United Nations.
Our success in blessing 3.6 million cou-
ples will lay the foundation upon which
each national messiah can influence the
cabinet ministers in their respective
nations, focusing on their ambassadors
to the United Nations. What the United
Nations needs right now is the institution
of True Parents, and the establishment of
a United Nations for women and a Unit-
ed Nations for the youth. Once Moth-
er and Father, Cain and Abel, women,
students and the youth have joined the
United Nations, then the whole world
will become united and peaceful. (282-36,
1997.2.16)

God and Humanity Should Live Together
Rev. Sun Myung Moon
January 11, 1959

John 14: 6-12

Although the Word must succumb to the incarnation or substance, and the substance should succumb to God, humans killed the incarnation, Jesus. Jesus tried to remove all the historical conditions for resentment over the 4,000 years by uniting with God. What was the historical condition for resentment? It was the betrayal of God’s Word over the 4,000 years. This grudge would have been resolved by the Israelites’ trusting and uniting with Jesus. Yet they killed the substance, deplorably using the Word of 4,000 years as their justification. This is the sin of the Israelites.

Therefore, the Israelite nation had to be trampled upon and receive contempt from the people of the world, wandering the world and becoming the servants of servants. The nation that was supposed to build the country of utmost glory wandered about on a path of pain and of the cross, longing for the glorious country. Why? It is because of the sin of having murdered Jesus. Today’s Christians are ignorant of this. Continue reading “Christians Do Not Know that Jesus Did Not Come to Die”

Find God’s Word in the End Times

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1154

Satan is the enemy who violated
love. He is a wretched thief who entered
the house while the parents were asleep,
murdered the father and raped the
mother. Who is Satan? He is the enemy
of love who raped God’s beloved Eve,
God’s partner in substantial form.
We must have a heart that is able to
give the person we love most to such an
adulterer and still bless him. You can-
not love the enemy merely by forgiving
him. Will Satan thank you just for for-
giving him? We must have such a heart
that we are able to bless our enemy even
after giving him our only beloved. This
is the final obstacle we must surmount.
Yet, people say that they will go to heav-
en due to their faith alone, don’t they?
(34-278, 1970.9.13)

Cheon Seong Gyeong 919

That is why, yesterday, I explained
in what manner the psychological pro-
cess is related to the physical and spir-
it worlds. It is said that the psyche puts
into effect an absolute force. People only
know one side of the question of why
this is so. Electricity is created through
the interaction between plus and minus.
They don’t know that it is the same phe-
nomenon, when force is manifested by
the plus and minus within that circle of
relationship. Therefore, if we delve into
this area, a world of new dimensions will
be found. When we enter the age where
the unknown spirit world can be ratio-
nally understood, the age of religion will
be brought to an end. It would be an age
where humankind would believe in God
even if they were told not to. This is a
great task. (134-239, 1985.7.20)

God and Humanity Should Live Together
Rev. Sun Myung Moon
January 11, 1959

John 14: 6-12

The most precious thing for a person is the original self, which possesses all the characteristics of God. Since the most precious thing has been lost, there is no happiness or joy for a person until it is found. Thus, fallen humans in every part of the world wander about in search of their original self.

What must be found first? We cannot dominate all things today. Although we have our minds, we do not understand God’s heart. Although we have our Shim Jung, it has no relationship with God’s Shim Jung. Although I search for and talk about ideals and love, I have fallen into a position where they have no relationship with God. We should know this. Continue reading “Find God’s Word in the End Times”

Human Beings Did Not Reach Perfection with God

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1980

When we speak of the pulse of energy
in the Korean peninsula, then this pulse
is connected with Korea’s fate and des-
tiny. It is connected with heavenly for-
tune and even national destiny. What is
national destiny? I consider it the fate
of the nation, the direction the nation
is taking. The direction Korea takes
for its survival will enable the Repub-
lic of Korea to prosper when its pulse
throbs with vigor and is well connect-
ed. The Republic of Korea should create
one world by uniting with the heavenly
fortune and pulse of the world and by
drawing the support of fortune. (178-265,
1988.6.8)

Richard:  Unfortunately, right now Korea is not aligned with heavenly fortune and the pulse of the world.  When Rev. Moon was alive things were moving in a positive direction.  With the heresies of Hak Ja Han, heavenly fortune has been lost and Korea is struggling.

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1421

What are we trying to achieve? We
want to be registered in the positions of
sons and daughters who can be loved
eternally by God and True Parents. The
registration will begin from this time
forth. You will be registered in the Book
of Life of the Kingdom of God. A new
form of registration should take place
based on the true parent-centered ideol-
ogy and Godism, and at the same time,
the organization of tribes should also
take place. Similar to the twelve apostles
of Jesus and the twelve tribes of Israel,
we also need to organize ourselves into
tribes. (146-230, 1986.7.1)

Richard:  This process has begun with the ‘Book of Life Registration Blessing’.  All married couples should receive this Blessing and grace: https://www.sanctuarian.org/february-28-2018-blessing.

God and Humanity Should Live Together
Rev. Sun Myung Moon
January 11, 1959

John 14: 6-12

The title of the speech I would like to share with you today is “God and Humanity Should Live Together.” I will speak upon this topic. God’s motive and purpose in creating this world were to live together with humankind. God created us that we might live together with Him.

You know well that all beings, from the smallest to the largest, were created as beings of joy to move with God in the realm of His love. Humanity, especially, was created with God’s utmost effort. That is, humanity is at the center of God’s thoughts, of God’s Shim Jung, of the ideal of creation. He is the center of the substance of creation. For God, to possess humanity is to possess the universe; to dominate humanity is to dominate the entire creation; to share joy with humanity is to share joy with the entire creation. You should know that God installed humanity as the representative of the purpose, upheld from the ideal to the result of creation.

God created the world to live together with them, yet neither humanity nor all things are living in the realm of God. What is the problem? We know well that this happened because of the fall. Because of the fall, the foundation for God’s dwelling disappeared. Continue reading “Human Beings Did Not Reach Perfection with God”

Liberate God through True Love

6 “I am the way, the truth, and the life!” Jesus answered. “Without me, no one can go to the Father. 7 If you had known me, you would have known the Father. But from now on, you do know him, and you have seen him.”

Cheon Seong Gyeong  155

We should know where the seeds
of happiness are. We must find them
because we lost them through the Fall.
This is why we find the true God cen-
tered on the Unification Church.
So far, God has been the God of resto-
ration, not the original God. He is filled
with sorrow and is to be pitied. He is not
the God of joy, but of despair. In order
to return to the original state, therefore,
we must liberate the God of restoration –
not with money, not with power, not with
any person, but with true love. (174-248,
1988.3.1)

Richard:  Ture love stems from true lineage in the family.  All couples should marry under God’s Blessing:  http://visionroot.org/resources/marriage/.

Cheon Seong Gyeong  1000

From now on, you must live with
True Parents. True Parents are in the
position of the grandparents. They are
also in the position of your mother and
father, living with you, and you are in
the position of the first child. This is a
new and different age. We should real-
ize that, in this way, three generations
will be living together. You must live
with the feeling in your heart that God is
with you, and that True Parents, as your
own parents, are with you. We have now
entered an age in which we cannot think
that God is not there, that He is dead.
(131-97, 1984.4.16)

Richard: “True Parents” refer to Rev. Sun Myung Moon and his bride, Hyun Shil Kang.  See http://visionroot.org/resources/rev-sun-myung-moon/in-search-of-the-origin-of-the-universe/ to understand more about the role of True Parents.

God and Humanity Should Live Together
Rev. Sun Myung Moon
January 11, 1959

John 14: 6-12

6 “I am the way, the truth, and the life!” Jesus answered. “Without me, no one can go to the Father. 7 If you had known me, you would have known the Father. But from now on, you do know him, and you have seen him.”

8 Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father. That is all we need.”

9 Jesus replied:

Philip, I have been with you for a long time. Don’t you know who I am? If you have seen me, you have seen the Father. How can you ask me to show you the Father? 10 Don’t you believe that I am one with the Father and that the Father is one with me? What I say isn’t said on my own. The Father who lives in me does these things.

11 Have faith in me when I say that the Father is one with me and that I am one with the Father. Or else have faith in me simply because of the things I do. 12 I tell you for certain that if you have faith in me, you will do the same things that I am doing. You will do even greater things, now that I am going back to the Father.

Prayer

We cannot help thanking You, Father, for having brought us before the Will and taught us the duties of children and our original value. Please do not let our hearts be our own. Connect them to Yours and make them hearts that can represent Yours. At this time, grant us the ability to feel everything in Your place and to experience the heavenly nature, beyond human nature. Beloved Father, we sincerely desire this.

Father! Having been separated from You, we must meet You again. Make our paths desperate ones. Let us forget all we have and struggle to find the lost Father. We know that we must have an earnest Shim Jung, earnest loyalty, and perform the actions that arise from such. Please forgive us our shortcomings. Father, please forgive us that, although we should offer utmost loyalty to You, we have not been single-minded enough. Continue reading “Liberate God through True Love”

Our Responsibility to Form Families to Create the Kingdom

Cheon Seong Gyeong 2104

In your family you are told, “Be a
child of filial piety!” What does this
mean? It means to practice true love.
Then, what does it mean to say, “Be an
heir” or “Be a patriot”? It is saying that
we should inherit the nation. What does
it mean to say, “Be a saint?” It means
that we should love the world; if we do,
we will inherit the world. We will be
the owner of the world. If we say, “Be a
holy son and daughter” and “Be God’s
son”… what does that mean? It is say-
ing that we should participate in God’s
love and receive the right to inherit the
entire universe. Based on the traditional
way to inherit all these things, God has
been preparing the foundation to devel-
op this logical stage in the fallen world
of humanity. From this we can draw the
conclusion that the purpose of religion
or the path of spiritual attainment is
possible. On what basis? On the basis of
love. (142-337, 1986.3.14)

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1610

On the foundation of your own abso-
lute faith, love and obedience, you need
to become families that are absolute,
unique, eternal and unchanging, serv-
ing God, and from you should emerge an
eternal tribe, people, nation and world.
Thus we can establish His kingdom on
earth, and create an environment that
would connect directly to His kingdom
in heaven.
Everyone on earth – including grand-
children, children and parents – should
be in the same position as Adam, serv-
ing and addressing God as their Father.
Henceforth, you will all become ances-
tors. (295-255, 1998.9.8)

Let Us Regain the Victorious Nation
Rev. Sun Myung Moon
January 4, 1959

Genesis 1:27

Genesis 2: 15-17

Acts 1

Now we are living in the age when we must carry out this historical mission. Therefore, we must restore the lost order with our hands. In order for us to stand before God in this way, however, we need to go through the family. Jesus is now only in Paradise because he did not go through a family.

The Will of the 6,000-year providence is for the sake of going through the family. Since no one has ever passed through the gate of the family, however, God’s love has never been found in this world. Since Jesus could not go through the gate of the family, he left behind the task of his return. In the spiritual world, he stays in Paradise, an intermediate stage. Thus, we can go through the nation only after going through the family. It cannot be otherwise. The family belongs within the realm of the nation. The nation belongs within the realm of the country. Thus, we should know that we have an important responsibility to combine families and organize a nation, to organize nations and constitute a country, and to organize countries and form a world.
