Intermarriage is the only way Japan can obtain the best circumstances as the owner – the circumstances of joy. How many times have we conducted Korean-Japanese intermarriages? This time was the second one, wasn’t it? It was the greatest struggle ever. At the time of the 30,000 Couples Blessing, Japan opposed it most desperately. Satan engaged in a full-scale offensive with the whole of Japan behind him, but I did not even budge an inch. Anyone who came to know the truth of the matter would have been completely won over to our side like the leaves turning red in autumn. They would think, “Wow! A mass wedding – that is so amazing!” NHK (Japan Broadcasting Corporation) broadcast about eighty percent of the ceremony on that occasion. (237-249, 1992.11.17)

Flowering plants all belong to their respective species and do not change themselves into a different type. They cannot change. In view of this, the distinction between species is very strict. That is why the logic of the evolutionary theory, which states that the monkey evolved from the amoeba, cannot stand. With this strict distinction between all the species, how could thousands of them connect and develop in a single system supported by them all? The evolutionary theory does not recognize the power of love. Only through the power of love does reproduction become possible. Without it, nothing could ever reproduce. How can the power of love work between amoebae and monkeys? Such a thing can never happen – not under any circumstances. (278-100, 1996.5.1)

TRUE FAMILY

Chapter 5

The Love of Man and Woman in the Original Creation

Section 7. Love Is Realized in a Completely Natural Setting

    This is a story from my youth. One day, I caught a pair of birds and tried to make them kiss each other’s beaks. To see them kiss I put them in a cage, fed them, and watched them. I did it out of a child’s desire to see them love each other and sing happily together. This was an experiment, out of curiosity, to understand the principles of nature. I continued this experiment, which I now understand to have been quite naughty. It was only after a long while that I finally understood that love is realized only in a natural setting. Sincere love is realized naturally, in an atmosphere that is natural to the highest degree. Through a long journey of experiments I came to the correct understanding of love.

Adam Is God’s Body

Cheon Seong Gyeong 643

When you enter heaven, if being able to speak the language of the homeland is one of the requisites, what are you going to do? You will be asked whether you speak it. This is the viewpoint of the Principle, according to which Adam and Eve’s children would speak the language of their parents and not another. English is the fallen archangel’s language. It is a shame. This is the viewpoint of the Principle. When you go to the spirit world, your ancestors will point at you and accuse you, saying, “Even though you served the True Parents, you did not learn Korean!” Korean is the True Parents’ language. There is nothing we can do about them having been born in Korea. (128-244, 1983.6.27)

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1676

If you were to bring together a male king orangutan and an ugly woman, marry them, and make them pray and offer devotions for thousands of years, would they ever have offspring? Would they be able to produce a baby? Give me an answer, you descendants of monkeys, communist gangsters! Do you think that offspring could be produced from the marriage of an orangutan and a woman, if the communist world were to pray and implement all kinds of force, or do you think that impossible? If you do not know, don’t insist upon communism or evolutionary theory. You should all wise up to that. (262-80, 1994.7.23)

The Reality of Love

Section 1. God’s Love

1.1. Love originates from God

God’s love appears in a place that does not change. God’s love is unchanging, and thus, eternal. If God’s love appears to us, it appears on the foundation of an unchanging heart. Thus, for our entire life, we should eat for the sake of that love, sleep for the sake of that love, and act for the sake of that love. As long as we have an eternal and perfect standard for the sake of love, God’s love will appear. Otherwise, the public principles of this universe would all be in vain. (83-179, 1976.2.8)

God is our father. Day and night, He worries that His children may be harmed; He protects us lest troubles happen; and He defends us lest some opposing circumstances appear. He is that kind of parent. Going in search of the essence of such a parent is the way of goodness and the way of love. Human beings, as His children, need to receive God’s perfect love. (57-85, 1972.5.29)

Until now, God has given love to those people and even those tribes and nations that were near His side. He has blessed them by adding things again and again lest they should think of them as too small and not receive them. Even this was not enough, and He gave them the life of His beloved son. Even after giving over his only son to be killed, God again wants to give more love. This is why, on the day when this love is returned, all of heaven and earth will turn into an ideal Kingdom of Heaven. By the principle of love, the more love you receive, the more love you give in return. So when we give God a hundred units of love, God will return to us a thousand, ten thousand units of love. (38-166, 1971.1.3)

If only we have God’s love, we can remain in God’s bosom, we can squeeze God’s nose, and we will have no boundaries wherever in the world we go. We will have a free pass everywhere. (91-227, 1977.2.20)

If you were to receive a kiss of love from God, you would feel joy triggering an explosion within you. It is here that God’s desire is fulfilled; He would not rejoice over having diamonds or other jewelry. (Blessed Family – 380)

Where do God and human beings connect? They connect where their lives intersect, their love intersects and their ideals intersect. What is this point? It is the place of the parent-child relationship. From this point of view, God is the subject partner of love, the subject partner of life, and the subject partner of the ideal. In relation to His children, God ignores His authority and dignity. However sinful and incompetent His children may be, if they embrace him He will not say, “You scoundrel, don’t do that!” Rather, God will embrace them, rub them, and love them. Experiencing this will melt your bones. (69-79, 1973.10.20)

God has the desire to give again unceasingly even after having given for thousands of years. It is for this reason that we are looking for God. If God were a cheap merchant who says, after giving, “Hey, that will cost you such and such an amount,” we would not need such a God. (36-290, 1970.12.13)

What happens when you come in contact with God’s love? Your hair will dance, and so will your cells. When you become a hundred percent intoxicated in this love, you will want to live forever rather than withdrawing. If someone were to try to wake you up, you would tell him not to. Mysterious things will happen. As the saying goes, “A saint’s delight makes him forget the passage of time.” There is indeed a way to become enraptured in such a high level of love, beyond human imagination. (59-316, 1972.7.30)

Love can fill anywhere, and reach everywhere. What do you think happens when loving people embrace each other? Do they just hold each other’s hands and say, “I love you”? Perhaps they would like to be hugged so strongly that their eye balls pop out and water comes out from their nose and mouth. When they embrace, they don’t just stand still but turn around. The universe will turn only when they become one in love like this. (81-18, 1975.11.23)

God is the father of human beings, and human beings are the sons and daughters of God. They were created through God investing the core of His bone, the core of His flesh, and the core of His bone marrow in their entirety. Thus, when human beings pull God, God cannot but be pulled along; and when God pulls human beings, they cannot but be pulled along. (20-207, 1968.6.9)

Why do people like and follow God? It is because God is one who gives and again gives everything for thousands of years and yet still feels ashamed. He says, “Now I can only give you this much, but wait a bit longer, and I will give you something that is many hundreds of times, many thousands of times better.” This is because He is someone whose heart is not content with today’s giving but promises to give better things in the future. (36-290, 1970.12.13)

Why do human beings live forever? I am asking why everyone is seeking eternal life. We are seeking an eternal partnership of love because this way we can have the value of object partners of love before God, who is the absolute subject partner, and because we will inevitably live eternally before the God of absolute love. When you come to stand in this place, God becomes you and you become God, above and below alike. If only you become one in love, you can put God in your pocket and He can go in. (137-67, 1985.12.18)

When we become connected to such a realm of God’s love, what kind of feeling will we have? We will feel as if we are looking at the beautiful flowers and smelling all the fragrances in a spring garden. At such times all our cells will dance. (24-324, 1969.9.14) If God’s love is the vertical love, the love of a man and a woman is a horizontal love. If a man and a woman are to meet, they must engraft their horizontal love onto the vertical love. It must join at a ninety-degree angle. A love that does not fit this, a love that is not connected to the vertical standard, will end up as a nomadic love and be destroyed. Hence, when you enter the realm of love where the vertical and horizontal are aligned, you will be able to rule the whole universe through love. When you have a relationship with the whole universe, you will not need any knowledge, power, money, or even life. Life also lives eternally within love. (136-203, 1985.12.29)

It is not Adam and Eve’s bodies that God likes but their love for each other. What is the final thing that God wants from human beings? It is the place where God meets His sons and daughters and loves them. And the final destination desired by human beings is also a place where they attend God as their father and receive love as His sons and daughters. (56-145, 1972.5.14)

For God, Adam is the core of God’s self, and the core of the ideal love of the future. So Adam is God’s body. On the other hand, Eve is God’s wife and body. Adam is a spiritual partner relating to God’s body and Eve is a physical partner. So when Adam and Eve become husband and wife and love each other, with whom are they sharing their love? They are in love with God. This is why marriage is exceptionally holy. (102-208, 1978.12.31)

Home Church Is Our Destiny

Cheong Seong Gyeong 1687

Evolutionists! Those ideas should
be extirpated. Is there anyone here
who believes in evolutionary theory?
Learned people like professors are more
than willing to believe in it. Why is this
so? However much force is applied, two
objects that do not complement each
other cannot interact or become one;
not even God Himself can bring them
together! Why? Such is the law of the
universe! Why? Being created based on
the ideal of love with everything giv-
en its complementarities, the universe
operates on a pair system.
Did human beings evolve from
amoebae? There can be no harmony on
a straight line. It would take a long time
to explain this logically. How can three
points be made lineally? How can the
third and fourth points be made to cre-
ate a diamond shape which allows this
harmony to come about? Where does a
circle come from? It cannot arise from
a straight line. Does the amoeba have
energy within itself to choose and form
the third point? It does not. The amoeba
can only relate on the plus-minus level
between two points on a straight line.
(211-254, 1990.12.30)

Some say they must witness to those
who are handsome and young, but that
is absurd. The church is the extension of
our family. There should be grandmoth-
ers and grandfathers, aunts and uncles,
and young people. If there were only
young people in the Unification Church,
it would be sick. This must be quick-
ly corrected. You should know how to
attend your elders. Your grandmother
and grandfather represent God; your
mother and father are your parents; and
with you and your children this makes
four stages in all. Your grandparents,
your parents and you are three stages.
Our lives are such that we cannot
break away from this fate. Grandpar-
ents, parents, and children make up
three stages. You need to draw four lines
to make three stages. This constitutes
the number seven. You cannot have
three stages without connecting these
four lines together. Without connecting
these, one another’s paths will randomly
cross. In order to have three stages, these
must be connected. (70-149, 1974.2.9)

Selected Passages from the Words of Rev. Sun Myung Moon about Home Church

Today’s Word magazine, September 1981 p. 7

The Significance of Home Church to You

It’s your destiny
Home church is the last providence which we
must fulfill. This is the last restoration. (3/29/79)

Home church is not a witnessing method; it is
our destiny, the final terminal and the fulfill-
ment of the providence. Fallen man must walk
this road. More than a man is destined to marry,
he is destined to fulfill the home church
mission, either on earth or in the spirit world. It is
impossible to erect the Kingdom of Heaven on
earth without fulfilling the borne church mis-
sion. This is no dream or fantasy; it is the real
blueprint of God. It is our great fortune to see
the home church mission in our lifetime and
install it as the pattern and tradition for history. A
hundred times a day you repeat the alphabet in
conversation; in the same way, home church is the
alphabet of the Kingdom of Heaven: it should be
an intimate part of you. If each one of you
clearly realized that home church is the destiny of
our movement, you would give your life for it,
and my presence in this country would be irrelevant. ( 1/1/79)

All of you long for a destiny with God, but I
want you to know that God has already set the
appointment with you: He is waiting for you in
your home church area. Jesus is there with Him,
and the Kingdom of Heaven is there as well.
Everything you have been craving is in home
church. Don’t just come to Belvedere to hear me
speak; you will find me as well in home church.
(1/7/79)

Suppose God and the spirit world hand-picked
you and gave you this chance to do the home
church providence. Now I am hand-picking you to
do the home church providence. Don’t you feel
honored? You should be very grateful. You should
repeat to yourself, Yes, God hand-picked me. How
precious it is! (4/16/80)

If you are victorious in everything else but not
in home church, your life will be a failure.
(4/14/79)

Without doing home church, no one can go to
heaven. You must understand this. Jesus left
behind the key to heaven, namely home church,
but even Jesus was not successful in home
church, so there was no way he could make heaven
on earth. Don’t ever be casual about this; you must
be determined to fulfill your home church
destiny. ( 1/1/79)

When you go to the spirit world, you should have
12 disciples and 72 followers, because sprit world
is organized according to this pattern. Without
winning 12, 72 and finally 84 people, it is
impossible for you to indemnify Jesus’ mission.
You must have 84 spiritual children as your
individual foundation; you can even work up to
the number 120, the number of Jesus’ followers
gathered after the resurrection. (10/5/80)

How seriously you have taken your home church
responsibility will determine your position in
history. ( 4/14/79)

The Lord Brings the New Truth

Cheon Seong Gyeong 2011
All of your comings and goings
should be for the sake of seeking that
nation, being its founding loyal patri-
ots, and restoring our homeland. Your
mind-set should be to shoulder such
a mission. You should think that you
have received instructions, as the secret
envoys of Heaven, to come to this evil
world today to fulfill this mission. Please
understand that without doing this, you
will not be able to establish your prestige
or dignity as a citizen of the nation we
have been seeking. (50-255, 1971.11.7)

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1696

In general, people believe human
beings evolved from the animal world,
but this is a makeshift theory fabricated
from a need for an explanation. In order
to form a logical connection, the theo-
ry was invented as an expedience; there
is no way of knowing if evolution real-
ly took place. Did the basis of our mind
begin from the amoeba? What I am ask-
ing is: is the amoeba our mental ances-
tor? Evolutionary theory claims that
everything began and developed from
the amoeba. (117-68, 1982.2.1)

John 3: 1-15

What will God bring when He comes again? Since we know that God is not going to destroy the world but will come again with a new ideology, what will He bring? He will come with the great power of life and the authority of a new ideology. He will come with the origin of love. Such a person is called “the Lord” in Christianity.

We who have tread and walked the course of fallen history need the touch of life which is stronger and more permanent and eternal than anything we have enjoyed or experienced before. The place where we experience such a touch will be our eternal resting place, a place we would never want to leave.

The three disciples who saw the transfiguration of Elijah, Moses and Jesus wanted to remain in that place. Have you attained and experienced the state of heart where you feel, “This is my eternal resting place, the place of eternal happiness. This is where there is no beginning and no end”? When one appears with the great power of life to which all creation will bow their heads, he will naturally become the master of all things. In his ideological world, all things and even God would want to rest and remain. When his loving emotional heart wells up, all things should want to harmonize with it. Even God should want to rejoice with it. There is such a loving emotional state. If these contents are not fulfilled in the last days of human history, then God’s dispensation will end in destruction. The whole dispensation of God for this world would become a total failure.

God has been toiling until now, for He cannot allow such a conclusion. Therefore, we cannot deny that the garden of new life, new ideology, and new love will certainly come to humankind today.

Richard:  In other words, the Lord brings the New Truth (http://visionroot.org/resources/the-eight-books-of-holy-scripture/) when he comes.
