The Pursuit of True Love Will Break Down Materialism

Mark 12:28

28 One of the teachers of the Law of Moses came up while Jesus and the Sadducees were arguing. When he heard Jesus give a good answer, he asked him, “What is the most important commandment?”

29 Jesus answered, “The most important one says: ‘People of Israel, you have only one Lord and God. 30 You must love him with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength.’ 31 The second most important commandment says: ‘Love others as much as you love yourself.’ No other commandment is more important than these.”

Jeremiah 12

I gave this land to my people Israel, but enemies around it have attacked and robbed it. So I will uproot them from their own countries just as I will uproot Judah from its land. 15 But later, I will have pity on these nations and bring them back to their own lands. 16 They once taught my people to worship Baal. But if they admit I am the only true God, and if they let my people teach them how to worship me, these nations will also become my people. 17 However, if they don’t listen to me, I will uproot them from their lands and completely destroy them. I, the Lord, have spoken.

Richard:  There is nothing greater than honoring and worshipping God.  Just after Stacey and I were matched (engaged) by Rev. Sun Myung Moon , in the early morning of December 31, 1980, then we joined Rev. Moon for the Celebration of God’s Day on January 1, 1981.  Stacey and I both remember very clearly that Rev. Moon chastised us (the group gathered for the celebration) for clapping more loudly in appreciation of our matchings than for God.  Father Moon explained that we must always love God witht he utmost love.

We Can Only Become the Ruler of All Things by Changing Our Fallen Lineage

Numbers 13

23-24 When they got to Bunch Valley,[c] they cut off a branch with such a huge bunch of grapes, that it took two men to carry it on a pole. That’s why the place was called Bunch Valley. Along with the grapes, they also took back pomegranates[d] and figs.

Richard:  Grapes can symbolize the fruitfullness of your lineage, or your seed.

Isaiah 66

18 I know everything you do and think! The time has now come[f] to bring together the people of every language and nation and to show them my glory 19 by proving what I can do.[g] I will send the survivors to Tarshish, Pul,[h] Lud, Meshech,[i] Tubal, Javan,[j] and to the distant islands. I will send them to announce my wonderful glory to nations that have never heard about me.

20 They will bring your relatives from the nations as an offering to me, the Lord.

With Rev. Moon’s Ideas We Can Save the World

CSG 2253

Viewed horizontally, Adam is the
eldest son, the second son is Jesus, and
the perfected Adam is the third son. Ver-
tically speaking, the third son is the third
generation. So the grandfather’s posi-
tion is the first generation, the father’s
position is the second generation, and
the son or grandson is the third genera-
tion. If this is inverted, then the grand-
son will be in the grandfather’s posi-
tion. It will be grandfather, father, and
grandson; the other way around. Thus,
you will be able to enter God’s Kingdom
by completing the four-position founda-
tion – the realm of three generations –
through me by practicing absolute obe-
dience. Hence, it is restoration through
indemnity. (258-208, 1994.3.17)

Richard:  We should understand how important it is to form a family four position foundatio centered on God.

Leaders Need to Understand Rev. Moon’s Vision

CSG 2214

Those who are truly filial in their fam-
ilies are on the direct road to becoming
the loyal subjects of their nation. Those
who are truly loyal to their nation are
on the direct road to becoming saints.
Please understand this. Therefore, deter-
mining to absolutely love your parents is
the pathway of becoming filial children
in your family. Determining to absolute-
ly love the sovereign and all the citizens
of your country is the pathway of loyal
subjects. Determining to absolutely love
the world is the pathway of saints.
Even the king of a country must fol-
low the saint and absolutely believe him.
Patriots and loyal subjects must follow
their king, and filial children must fol-
low the patriots. There is only one way.
Then who must the saints follow? They
must follow God. God has eternal,
unchanging and unique love. The saint,
the king, the loyal subject and the fil-
ial child must all go the same course of
eternal and unchanging love. Whatever
detours you may take, you will always
have to get back on the right track in
order to stay on course.
The individual, family, tribe and
nation are all to go this way. But there will
be obligations to your parents as well as
to your nation. If you are torn between
these obligations and are unable to ful-
fill both of them simultaneously, where
should your priorities lie? Between fil-
ial piety and loyalty to your nation, you
should give preference to the latter. This
conforms to the rule of law. The reason
for this is that the nation encompasses
the families and parents. (99-67, 1978.7.23)

Jonah 1

12 Jonah told them, “Throw me into the sea, and it will calm down. I’m the cause of this terrible storm.”

13 The sailors tried their best to row to the shore. But they could not do it, and the storm kept getting worse every minute. 14 So they prayed to the Lord, “Please don’t let us drown for taking this man’s life. Don’t hold us guilty for killing an innocent man. All of this happened because you wanted it to.” 15 Then they threw Jonah overboard, and the sea calmed down. 16 The sailors were so terrified that they offered a sacrifice to the Lord and made all kinds of promises.

17 The Lord sent a big fish to swallow Jonah, and Jonah was inside the fish for three days and three nights.

Comfort God’s Heart as Rev. Moon Has Done

CSG p. 2072 pr 1

I told everyone to return to their
hometowns, didn’t I? I also came to the
Republic of Korea and won over all the
top men. We’re at the point that when
people hear the name Rev. Moon men-
tioned they say, “That man is a patriot!”
As you approach even the prominent
people in society and ask them, “We’re
doing this and that in order to hold a
national conference to prepare for a uni-
fied election of North and South Korea.
Will you support us or oppose us?” They
will answer, “Why should we oppose
you? Of course we’ll support!” We get
this affirmation as we work. Until now
no one has given us such affirmation. If
they do oppose me, I will flex my mus-
cles a bit and knock them out of their
position. If I intervene, then no matter
how relentless the argument or how loud
the protest, it will all dissipate. Know-
ing that, all of you must breakthrough at
your tong and ban levels. (213-51, 1991.1.13)

Isaiah 55

8 The Lord says:
“My thoughts and my ways
    are not like yours.
9 Just as the heavens
    are higher than the earth,
my thoughts and my ways
    are higher than yours.

10 “Rain and snow fall from the sky.
But they don’t return
    without watering the earth
that produces seeds to plant
    and grain to eat.
11 That’s how it is with my words.
    They don’t return to me
without doing everything
    I send them to do.”
