For my part, I have traveled the world
to reveal God’s ideals and His providence
in order to actualize the vision of
world peace on the basis of God’s original
plan. To this end, I have established
many international organizations. But
the path is long, and there remains a lot
of work for all of us to do. What is the
ideal of God? It goes without saying that
the original ideal of God is to realize a
peaceful world. In such a world, there
are no divisions or conflicts. It is a world
filled with unity, harmony and joy. The
greatest and quickest means to this end
is through true love. True love is the factor
of unity and the origin of joy and
happiness. That is why I would say that
the prerequisite of peace is true love.
The reason why human beings are
still unable to make true peace is because
they are ignorant of true love. Why? The
answer, as mentioned in the Bible, is that
humankind has separated from God.
Due to the Fall of the first human
ancestors, Adam and Eve established
the first family without God’s blessing.
Peace has been absent from this world
ever since. Instead, divisions, conflicts,
and struggles have come to rule this
world. In the individual, the struggle
between mind and body, the conflicts
between husband and wife at the family
level, and the struggles between societies
are accepted as normal, everyday life.
It is my conviction that all human
problems are caused by the fundamental
loss of true love. The fall of humankind
meant the loss of true love. Consequently,
Jesus came as the King of true love
in order to restore the love that Adam
and Eve had lost. By the same token, the
Lord at his Second Advent is coming in
order to restore true love. That is the logical
conclusion, seen from the view of
the providence of salvation.
My life until today, and my quest for
world peace, has been concentrated on
the point of how humankind can restore
true love. When we look at the moral
degradation of the world, we can think
of how great God’s sorrow must be.
Watching this world decline breaks my
heart and brings tears to my eyes. The
spirit of our young people is wounded
by the practice of so-called “free sex”,
which is an evil similar to the immorality
and adultery of Sodom and Gomorrah.
The greatest sorrow of God is to
see humankind going down this path of
irresponsible destruction.

True Parents’ Day Was the Central Idea in God’s Concept of the Creation

Happy 58th True Parents’ Day!

Genesis 47

27Now the Israelites settled in Egypt in the region of Goshen. They acquired property there and were fruitful and increased greatly in number.

Isaiah 40

23He brings princes to naught

and reduces the rulers of this world to nothing.

24No sooner are they planted,

no sooner are they sown,

no sooner do they take root in the ground,

than he blows on them and they wither,

and a whirlwind sweeps them away like chaff.

25“To whom will you compare me?

Or who is my equal?” says the Holy One.

26Lift up your eyes and look to the heavens:

Who created all these?

He who brings out the starry host one by one

and calls forth each of them by name.

Because of his great power and mighty strength,

not one of them is missing.

The Importance of the Moment

Ecclesiasticus 40:32 (Catholic Bible)

The life of him that looketh toward another man’ s table is not to be counted a life: for he feedeth his soul with another man’ s meat.

[31] But a man, well instructed and taught, will look to himself. [32] Begging will be sweet in the mouth of the unwise, but in his belly there shall burn a fire.

Luke 20

14“But when the tenants saw him, they talked the matter over. ‘This is the heir,’ they said. ‘Let’s kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’ 15So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.

“What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them? 16He will come and kill those tenants and give the vineyard to others.”

When the people heard this, they said, “God forbid!”

17Jesus looked directly at them and asked, “Then what is the meaning of that which is written:

“ ‘The stone the builders rejected

has become the cornerstone’a ?

18Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces; anyone on whom it falls will be crushed.” Continue reading “The Importance of the Moment”
