You Should Feel Both God’s Happy and Sad Aspects

Cheon Seong Gyeong 2280

The term True Parents began in
God’s mind before the creation. You
should know, that as all ideals were cre-
ated by God under the head of the ideal
of love centered upon the True Parents,
they too reflect His desires before the
Creation.
Vast numbers of people were sacri-
ficed in the course of God’s providence
to establish the True Parents. God cre-
ated a great number of religions in His
dispensation and they typify the angelic
world, Cain, Abel, the child by a concu-
bine, the adopted child, the stepmoth-
er, and the adoptive parents’ positions.
Finally, He created the True Mother and
True Father religion.

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1192

If you have a clear understanding
about God and True Parents, every-
body will be liberated. Everybody will
revive. That is why you must show God
and True Parents to others. If you only
become the substantial manifestation of
God and True Parents, everyone will be
liberated. So, when people cling to such
a person, they are clinging to True Par-
ents and God. Because their original
mind knows that, they will do so imme-
diately. Why am I saying these things
today? I am telling this to you because
today is a day of declaration when we are
passing through such a transition peri-
od. (131-51, 1984.4.1)

The Grieving Father, Son and Daughter as They Try to Establish the Kingdom of Heaven

Sun Myung Moon

John 14:1-24

Throughout history, God was able to find humankind through conditions of faith and practice. Allowing humankind to establish the conditions of faith, what else has God required of people? He requested practice. In order for God and me to be connected and to establish the foothold that will rid me of my sorrow, the path of practice has to be opened centering on faith. That is the only way to bring about the historic connection.

This is because my existence is not for myself; rather, I am destined to deny myself and follow the direction of Heaven. Because Heaven sets its course for the sake of the world and the cosmos through sacrificing individuals, the direction of goodness never focuses on the self; nor does the standard of goodness. All is for the purpose of the nation and Heaven. Due to this, Heaven has led the providence for humankind through emphasis on faith and practice.

It has already been a six-thousand-year history of emphasizing faith and practice. Looking back, we can see it was a history sad beyond imagining. Yet you today must realize that the sorrow of Heaven in trying to hold onto humankind was much greater than the sorrow of human beings. Otherwise, you will not be able to connect to Heaven. No one has realized this until now. Humankind created a historical precedent of driving Heavenly Father away and murdering the saints and sages.

A Champion of Love Must Come Who Can Embrace and Love Humanity

Ruth 4

13 Boaz married Ruth, and the Lord blessed her with a son. 14 After his birth, the women said to Naomi:

Praise the Lord! Today he has given you a grandson to take care of you. We pray that the boy will grow up to be famous everywhere in Israel. 15 He will[c] make you happy and take care of you in your old age, because he is the son of your daughter-in-law. And she loves you more than seven sons of your own would love you.

16 Naomi loved the boy and took good care of him. 17 The neighborhood women named him Obed, but they called him “Naomi’s Boy.”

When Obed grew up he had a son named Jesse, who later became the father of King David. 18-22 Here is a list of the ancestors of David: Jesse, Obed, Boaz, Salmon, Nahshon, Amminadab, Ram, Hezron, and Perez.

Lamentations 4

17 Our eyes became weary,
    hopelessly looking
for help
from a nation[e]
    that could not save us.
18 Enemies hunted us down
    on every public street.
Our time was up;
    our doom was near.
19 They swooped down faster
    than eagles from the sky.
They hunted for us in the hills
and set traps to catch us
    out in the desert.
20 The Lord’s chosen leader[f]
    was our hope for survival!
We thought he would keep us safe
    somewhere among the nations,
but even he was caught
    in one of their traps.

John 14:1-24

Your heart must be captivated by a subject of goodness, a purposeful entity of goodness, and the world of ideology. You must be enraptured by it. When you have become so, it is certain that you may search for the world of the purpose. When someone is content to lead his whole life according to his concepts, derived from his subjectivity and understanding through rationality, he will surely fall into his trap.

Once you realize, looking deeply into your heart, that this outpouring of emotion is itself an undeniable truth body and a real, existing entity, this is cosmic evidence, historical evidence, and ideological evidence that you are connected to the cosmos. It becomes certain that you are becoming an objective being in relation to one subject.

Believing in the existence of Heavenly Father, we should strive for the day when our subject, Heavenly Father, trusts in us, His objects, one hundred percent. We should strive to reach that goal with one hundred percent faith. This is the last significant problem that humankind has to solve.

Cheon Seong Gyeong 434

Orphans do not have a relationship
with their parents. Everyone wants to
be loved. The ideal manifestation of that
love is parents. We can say that a person
who can neither receive parental love
from his parents even though he wants
to, nor love his parents even though
he wants to, is very miserable. Sup-
pose there is a person who is much less
attractive than some local orphan. Even
so, as long as that person can serve and
devote himself to his parents, he can feel
very fortunate by comparison. He might
think, “One may be handsome, yet if one
does not even have parents, of what ben-
efit is that?” He might also think, “I may
be ugly and disabled, but at least I am
fortunate to have a mother and father.”
(39-231, 1971.1.15)

Cheon Seong Gyeong 502

What should parents do? They should
teach their children in such a way that
brothers and sisters can love each other
just like their mother and father. At the
same time, they should teach them, say-
ing, “As we love the nation, you should
also love the nation in this way.” Then,
they will not need any other education.
When you pray, ask God to make your
children do it this way since you are
doing it this way.
You can set your children up in such
a position only after you have first set
the standard. If you have stood in such
a position, God will naturally lead your
children in the same direction. Thus, if
you fail to reverse the trend here, you
will be called to account when you pass
on to the spirit world. (13-103, 1963.11.1)

John 14:1-24

Sorrow is deeply embedded in my heart. A world of fear is also taking me by surprise. Struggling with such a reality, where is a peaceful garden of heart within me? Where is a garden of serenity and freedom? This is a serious and immediate question that has to be solved by today’s humankind and by those of us living in this time.

You are placed within such a realm. The time has come for you to realize this. The time has come for you to raise your right hands and shout, “Heavenly Father, please hold onto our arms.” Then raise your left hands and shout, “All of humanity, let us march forward together.” What are we then to do in this world when we cannot feel such a drive in our mind and cannot receive such a stimulus even when we want to?

Although people have searched, fought, struggled and done all kinds of things, not only did they not find the solution, the result has been despair, death and destruction. It is time for us to understand that our human effort does not bring about any result. Continue reading “Humankind Should Search to Find Heavenly Father”

Hosea 9-10

17 Israel, you disobeyed my God.
Now he will force you to roam
    from nation to nation.

10 You were a healthy vine
    covered with grapes.
But the more grapes you grew,
    the more altars you built;
the better off you became,
the better shrines you set up
    for pagan gods.
2 You are deceitful and disloyal.
So you will pay
    for your sins,
because the Lord will destroy
    your altars and images.

3 “We don’t have a king,”
    you will say.
“We don’t fear the Lord.
    And what good are kings?”
4 Israel, you break treaties
    and don’t keep promises;
you turn justice
    into poisonous weeds
where healthy plants should grow.

Esther 2

19 When the young women were brought together again, Esther’s cousin Mordecai had become a palace official. 20 He had told Esther never to tell anyone that she was a Jew, and she obeyed him, just as she had always done.

21 Bigthana and Teresh were the two men who guarded King Xerxes’ rooms, but they got angry with the king and decided to kill him. 22 Mordecai found out about their plans and asked Queen Esther to tell the king what he had found out. 23 King Xerxes learned that Mordecai’s report was true, and he had the two men hanged. Then the king had all of this written down in his record book as he watched.

John 14:1-24

The sorrow of humankind began when the fall occurred. As Heaven’s sorrow was also manifested due to humankind’s fall, there surely has to be a certain will that will foretell the day of liberation from this sorrow, and there must be a method to realize this will, as well as someone to carry it out.

From the religious perspective, a person sent to take on and be responsible for this work is one who is responsible for the teaching of truth. From the Christian viewpoint, it is the advent of Christ. He comes with the mission of the Savior with a teaching that will encompass the world.

If such a central person is to come to this world to liberate the sorrow of Heaven and earth, he could never come as a glorious being. The manifestation of the substantial body of God cannot deny the course of history, the circumstance of time. Because Heaven experienced a sorrowful course of history, Jesus had to undergo a similar path to stand as the center representing the heavenly ideology, purpose and life.

To exist is to have experienced life and relationships. That is the foundation for existence. Jesus had to experience all those hearts of sorrow associated with history. He had no choice but to experience such, representing humankind as well as God.

The worldly and religious perspectives are different. People typically consider someone good if that person denies himself and bears everyone else’s suffering in their place. Yet it is different from the religious viewpoint; that person should not only take on worldly sorrows but Heaven’s sorrows as well. Continue reading “Jesus Came to Liberate God’s Sorrow”

We should clearly realize how holy
and valuable the love is that emerges
from the people created by God and who
were untainted by the Fall, that is: origi-
nal man and woman. (145-267, 1986.5.15)

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1672

The natural world is a museum of love,
where the creation is made up in pairs,
though at a lower level than humankind.
Then why was this museum of love cre-
ated? For whom was it made? That is the
question. It was made for human beings
and for God. Hence, God can experi-
ence the sensation of love in everything
encompassing the mineral, plant and
animal worlds. (238-29, 1992.11.19)

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1186

What happened due to the Ceremo-
ny of the Settlement of the Eight Stag-
es? The right of Right of the parent can
be liberated and achieved. Because this
time is coming, then, from the position
of Parents, I am raising all of you into a
position where you can be tribal messi-
ahs. This is to liberate Jesus and Adam’s
family from their grief. Through your
tribes, you can obliterate the founda-
tion created by the mistake of false par-
ents; in this way, for the first time, home-
towns where people were born can be
transformed into the hometowns of the
heavenly kingdom. (193-214, 1989.10.4)

Richard:  This is the core of God’s work to restore human beings.  We will have a key role as we become Blessed couples and then share this truth with our family and tribe.

John 14:1-24

Therefore, when someone feels the urge of conscience directing them toward a true ideology and the will of a true center, that person has to think about how much he has tried to take it into the center of his heart, the center of his body, the center of his life, and the center of his ideology or purpose.

The path of the sorrowful heart which has continued throughout history would have seen its end if humankind were to criticize themselves, criticize the world around them, and be concerned about the fact that everything in the world is connected with the invisible Creator. If God cannot solve this problem, God is not fulfilling His responsibility.

Thus, Heaven has no choice but to work through the providence and reveal His intention to certain individuals at certain points in history, to certain congregations, and to certain nations. The traces of this are visible throughout history. When we look for those traces and study them, we can see that the works that liquidate the history of sorrow are never logical or theoretical. Religions had to come forth. We had to enter the world of heart to pursue the ideology of goodness and to relate to other human beings by releasing the spiritual or supernatural level of emotion.
