    In order to become the Lord at his Second Advent, I had to go to the spirit world and return with God’s seal of approval. By my going to the spirit world, a battle took place there for forty-three days. Everyone, from the bottom of hell to the top of heaven, said, “Rev. Moon is a heretic!” I had to deal with this, beginning from the lowest place, right through to the saints at the very end. I had to argue with them in God’s presence and go through a decisive battle that decided who was the Lord of righteousness. What was the issue at that time? It was concerning the stained lineage of all the people in the spirit world and whether they knew that they had to change that.
    What was the second consideration? It concerned transferring the rights of ownership of all material things. I stated that, “Those who had rights of ownership during their life on earth are traitors to the Kingdom of Heaven!” No matter how great the founders of the religions were, they had to face this judgment. That is why, when I fought in the spirit world, I stood my ground in battle and challenged them confidently, asking, “Who’s the heretic?”
    Since great chaos would come to the spirit world after this, God had to make a decision as the Judge. But even He stood against me. God said, “Rev. Moon is a heretic, as you all say.” Why? Since Adam had betrayed God, in accordance with the laws of restoration through indemnity, the person representing perfected Adam had to face a situation of betrayal, even by God Himself. Only then could the walls that were raised in God’s heart be brought down. In this way, everyone was against me, and even God was standing on the other side, leaving me totally alone. Still, the spirit world could not be left as it was, in a whirlpool of chaos. God had to make the final decision. He proclaimed, “The transition of the lineage, transition of the rights of ownership and transition of the realm of heart that Rev. Moon speaks of, are true.” I then had to return here, to this world, after receiving God’s seal as a victorious champion. (264-50, 1994.10.9)

When Adam finally enters the Kingdom of Heaven, do you think he would be at ease if he heard the weeping of couples in the middle realm of spirit world and the weeping of people in hell? They should not be there, should they? It does not follow the Principle. That is why I am liberating them. I proclaimed 4.4. Jeol in Kodiak, Alaska and I declared the cosmic 4.4. Jeol on January 8 at Punta del Este. (300-96, 1999.3.1)
Richard:  Also in yesterday’s Rheamas, there was reference to the 4.4 Jeol.  God and True Father are saying that the victory is already won.  It is up to us to claim and act upon this victory.  As you can see in the first Rheama, even True Father, Rev. Moon had to have self-awareness about his role as the True Parent, and he even went so far to challenge God.  How many of us are that confident in our faith?

Selections from the Speeches of Rev. Sun Myung Moon

BOOK ONE
True God
Chapter 3

The History of the Providence of Restoration and Changes in Humankind’s View of God

Section 4. The Completed Testament Age Is the Age of the Oneness of God and Humankind

4.1. True children should go through the change of lineage and rebirth

    On the path of restoration, we should go up from the age of the servant of servants, through the age of the servant, through the age of the adopted child, to the age of the direct lineage. However, can we complete the course from the age of the servant of servants, through the age of the servant, and the age of the adopted child, and be connected to the age of direct lineage? Connecting to the age of direct lineage cannot be done just like that.
    According to the Principle, we are required to go through the foundation of faith and foundation of substance in order to welcome the Messiah. The Messiah is the true son of God. The lineage of an adopted son and that of a true son are different. This is why we need a change of lineage. (55-192, 1972.5.9) Continue reading “We Have to Correct Our Lineage”

    Even in the spirit world everyone uses the language that true parents and true grandfathers use. Would it work to say, “Oh dear, I don’t know that language!” You will realize, then, how difficult it is for Orientals to learn English. I myself learned English after the age of sixty. Do you think it was easy? You cannot make excuses. As you young people are coming into the Unification Church, you have to do it. You have to learn, even repeating words again and again while walking on the street. Learn Korean by repeating words and phrases while going back and forth to the bathroom. You have no escape. The reason I am telling you to learn Korean is because I have become the True Parent; there is no way out. No matter what nationality you are or what situations you are in, you have no alternative. When everything is unified, people will say, “This is the glory of True Parents! They have swiftly unified the world’s languages!” If they give me an award, what kind of award should they give me?
    You should respect Korean more than the language of any other nation in the world. It is because of their language that Koreans are smart. There is no sound that cannot be pronounced in the Korean language. Japanese does not come anywhere close. Japanese cannot pronounce “McDonalds” properly and end up saying “Makudonarudo.” Can you understand what I mean? This is why things must work through the new culture. I am not saying this because I am a Korean, but because it is the Principle. If I told you to learn Korean without that being rooted in the Principle, I would be chased away. It is because I am talking about basic principles that you listen quietly and say, “As it fits the theory, what choice do I have but to accept?” In the future, the original language for scholars will be Korean. The Korean language will be the original language. (130-272, 1984.2.5)

Cheon Seong Gyeong  1188

As viewed from God’s original ideal of creation, the eldest son should come from God’s side and, of course, the second son should also come from God’s side. Due to the Fall, the position of the first son was taken by Satan, and the position of the second son went to God. This has to be made right. Thus, when we consider the story of Esau and Jacob in the Bible, Jacob united with his mother and received her help. He gave Esau the pottage of lentils and bread in exchange for the birthright of the firstborn son. Until today, we could not understand why Bible history is the way it is. With the appearance of the Unification Church, its meaning was clarified for the first time. (134-304, 1985.8.16)

Family Pledge

Rev. Sun Myung Moon

Family Pledge 7; Pledging to Perfect the World Based on the Culture of Heart which is rooted in the original lineage

Core concept 54:  We need to inherit the original lineage of Adam who had not fallen.  Our descendants should never defile their lineage in the same way that Adam and Even did when they fell.  The original culture of heart arises from the original lineage.

Reading:  Pledge Number Seven

Our family, the owner of Cheon Il Guk, pledges, through living for the sake of others, to perfect the world based on the culture of heart, which is rooted in the original lineage, by centering on true love.

7.1. The family rooted in the original lineage

Pledge number seven of the Family Pledge is important, although it is simple. The phrases, “Our family… rooted in the original lineage… centering on true love” are talking about inheriting the original lineage of Adam who does not have fallen lineage, which has nothing to do with the Fall. Then, it continues, “Our family…pledges to perfect the world based on the culture of heart, which is rooted in the original lineage…” Our world is to be a world based on the culture of heart. We are to be the Unification Family, one family, centered on the unique love of God. Without being high and low, all five races are to live as one family. Such a time is coming in the future.

Satan’s Blood is Running through

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1677

Re-creation involves the creation of an environment with subject and object partners, followed by corresponding developments. This is how evolutionary theory should also develop; it cannot develop as it is. Subject and object partners must unite, be absorbed into something greater, and pass through the gates of love. According to this principle, to progress from the loveless amoeba to the human being thousands of levels need to be passed through, and these gates of love cannot be crossed just like that. (230- 68, 1992.4.19)

Cheon Seong Gyeong 893

The reason you suffer now is for the sake of finding the freedom of heaven. It is to create heaven even in hell. Even if you go to hell and act like a judge, those serving time in hell would say, “Since you went through it all, we cannot accuse you!” In this world if a person went down to this position or if he went down from a high level to a lower one, wouldn’t he make a fuss? He would say, “Why should I go there? Why should I go?” Going down to a lower position is something that would never happen in a society of brothers, but is only possible within the realm of the parental heart. God, the most High, can go all the way down to the bottom of hell. That is a parent – a true parent. He would do that even if He were to be injured in His face or whatever may happen to His body. (116-115, 1981.12.27)

True Family Gateway to Heaven
Rev. Sun Myung Moon

Chapter One

Our Course of Life

Section 9. The standard of birth and the standard
of life
9.1. The wrong standard of birth

People in today’s world who flaunt their pedigrees and parade their degrees as marks of social distinction, are unaware that their births were spiritually sullied. They do not know that they were born with the love, life and lineage of Satan; God’s enemy. This is a serious problem.

Due to the Fall, people have been born from Satan’s love which was passed down to their parents. Satan’s blood has made its way down through the lives of our mothers and fathers to us in the present day. The fruit of those three then, is you. As such, you all belong to the satanic lineage. In other words, Satan’s blood is running through your veins. Therefore, he automatically bears his ideal fruit while God strives to redeem those very men and women and transform them into originally pure and perfect people. You all began from Satan’s love and are born from his lineage.

Since your start was all wrong, you must return to the original point. As we originated from false parents, we need to return and start anew from true parents. How serious is this? It is imperative to inherit God’s love, life and lineage afresh.

That is why, when you receive the Blessing, you undergo the ceremony for changing the lineage. You must believe in this more than your own life. Just because it is a Unification Church ceremony, you should not think of it as some ordinary ritual. It is like a wonder drug, an antidote, to restore the dead back to life.

Our ancestors committed an error so grave that countless people fell victim to its aftereffects throughout the course of human history. Knowing this, we cannot tread that same path again — ever again! We paid a ghastly price throughout history for having perpetuated illicit love in the fallen spiritual and physical worlds, with far-reaching consequences for individuals, families, societies, nations and the world. (216-109, 1991.3.9)

All Families Must be Connected to the Recreated Bloodline

Cheon Seong Geyon 423

What does the Unification Church understand God’s will to be? What is Rev. Moon’s understanding of God’s will? God’s will is understood to be the completion and fulfillment of the original ideal of creation for which God made this universe. Because God created the universe with certain purposes, it is God’s will to realize such purposes. Who or what was at the center of this purpose? It was none other than Adam and Eve. That is why I perceive God’s purpose of creation to be the realization of His ideal beginning with and from Adam and Eve. Then, what is the substance of this ideal? It is none other than the realization of the four-position foundation. The four-position foundation is the foundation of the family with God at the center. It is realized only when Adam and Eve become so completely united that they cannot separate themselves from the realm of God’s love. With God at the center, they become an ideal husband and wife, giving birth to children of their own. When this four-position foundation is completed, Adam and Eve become one in their love as husband and wife and are secured within the realm of God’s love. (Blessed Family – 298)

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1039

    When you come to the church, you must bring your parents and all of your family members with you. You should bring along your older brother, older sister, and everyone else. How much blood and tears have you shed for the sake of witnessing to your parents, your cousins, your in-laws, and your distant relatives? Have you ever struggled fiercely and prayed with tremendous devotion to guide a person’s life? This is the question.
    You must become the center of the environment that you find yourself in. You must understand that each of you must become the center. (41-90, 1971.2.13)

Owner of Peace, Owner of Lineage

Rev. Sun Myung Moon
July 7, 2009

Why? A cow has four stomachs. A sheep has four stomachs. A goat does, too. Ruminating animals are those that stay. The same can be said about pigeons. Pigeons cannot lay more than two eggs. A pigeon, a ram and cow were offered as a sacrifice. In the sea aren’t there salmon? Salmon give their own flesh to feed their offspring. Since there is nothing to eat during the cold months of November, December and January, salmon sacrifice their own body to provide for their young.

Even though Satan thinks he can use the three worlds as bait, when the time comes, all is turned upside down and what do you think happens to Satan’s meal? I can put it in one pocket and digest all the three worlds: the satanic world, the democratic world and the communist world. Rev. Moon is disliked most of all for his teaching by the communist party and the religious authorities in the democratic world. Don’t they say that I am trying to swallow their religion? I can swallow both worlds — the left-wing and the right-wing — in one bite. In Korean, the expression “in one bite” sounds like “honey rice cake” and therefore implies eating something very delicious. I am going to eat them up in one bite and digest them with pleasure.

The position of parents should also be digested. Even God should be able to occupy the center position and be reborn in the royal capacity to command over God’s kingship, True Parents’ kingship. There is nothing to fear in the whole universe since the unity of two bodies has been achieved. The world was unified in an instant from the day Rev. Moon made the proclamation of Settlement of the Parent Abel UN.

Everyone is broke. There is no economy that is able to save either America or Las Vegas. As soon as I can bring together the two worlds of religion and economy, both will live. Does religion come first or economy? Politics are conducted by Satan as he manipulates religions. After the religious world, the nation will be influenced together with the world of affluent white people who used to violate human life centering on the economy. Since the United Nations could not unite, as long as the big wheel of the Heavenly Kingdom is missing a smaller wheel inside it to rotate in the opposite direction, the free world is going to disappear.

If there is only the family of Rev. Moon, the family of Father and Mother, left in the world, it would be the new Garden of Eden. Satan’s seed, fruit, and all ugly things in the environment will be eliminated. A small island such as Hawaii will become the place where this family lives happily cultivating the soil with all modern amenities at hand. This place will become the starting point of the Kingdom of Heaven, the return to Adam’s origin. Rev. Moon’s family does not disappear.

That’s right. Since Rev. Moon’s family does not disappear, it will find a kin nation centering on the blood lineage. Korea and Mongolia can form precisely this type of kinship. Do you know about Lamaist tradition in Mongolia? According to this tradition, a married Mongolian woman hopes to bear a child from a foreign guest. The Lamaist husband is willing to share his wife with the foreign guest. Since the tradition has it that the child from this union is destined to become the King of the country, the nation will ascend centering on the non- fallen bloodline. Like the rod of Aaron that budded, if a rod is driven in, then unless the blood of the previously married line flows in the opposite direction, the way to heaven is blocked.

So, what was inside the Ark of the Covenant? Inside were the two tablets of stone, the manna, and the rod of Aaron that budded. In the satanic world, people do all kinds of strange things between married couples. Husbands cheat on their wives: one man has a wife and up to fifty mistresses. Rich people live like that. Both Chinese and Americans. Failing to digest China and America is not possible. As for Russia, it is not as big. World peace cannot be achieved unless these families are connected to the recreated bloodline.

    In today’s world, there are many people who commit suicide by taking sleeping pills or in other ways. Do more women commit suicide or more men? More women. Why? Women tend to have a one-track mind.
    However ugly a man might be, he is able to approach a problem from different perspectives. Women see only one way out of a problem, but men avoid death by finding viable alternatives. As such, they have a lower suicide rate than women. (222-69, 1991.10.28)

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1143

Everyone wants to become God’s son or daughter. This is the original principle of creation and we were supposed to become like that, but human beings who should have been born into such a lineage were dragged away by the enemy and inherited the blood of Satan, the enemy of God’s love. We should have been born with God’s blood running in our veins, but our present reality is unbearable. (191-244, 1989.6.25)

FAMILY

THE BASIC FORM OF LIFE

The Love of Grandparents

Teachings of Rev. Sun Myung Moon

As children, you are destined to inherit the fortune of your grandparents and parents. Why do you need grandparents? They represent the past—they embody the living history of the past. Parents represent the present age and children represent the future. Thus, the family connects the past, present and future, as well as East, West, North and South. Grandparents, parents, children and God—the center of them all is true love. Think about whether it is this way in your family. By loving and respecting your grandfather and grandmother, you inherit everything from the past and learn from the past. From your father and mother you learn about the present. By loving and cherishing your children, you learn about the future… The three-generation family is like the entire universe. It is like a textbook to learn how to love the universe. Hence, if there isn’t a grandmother or a grandfather in your family, you may feel insecure. (162:140, April 5, 1987)

[In a traditional family] the grandfather and grandmother, the bride’s mother-in-law, father-inlaw, and sister-in-law, and the grandchildren should all live together. What is the center? God. Centering on God, three generations are settled—formation, growth and completion. Hence, children need to know how to love not just their father and mother, but also their grandfather and grandmother. They should honor their grandfather and grandmother with a higher status than their father and mother. Loving them is the way for the children to love God. (128:18, May 29, 1983)

Grandparents represent God in heaven; their position is like Heaven. As the elders in the family, our grandparents bring Heaven to us. That is why you need to attend them as the representatives of God. Think of them as representatives of the King of Heaven and serve them as you would serve God. This teaching is one of the traditions of the ideal family. (251:219, October 17, 1993)

If the husband and wife fight, the grandfather and grandmother will say, “Now, now. Don’t do that!” When the children fight or the grandchildren fight, they say, “Now, now. Don’t do that!” In this way, with love, they play the role of a servant. They live for the sake of the other members of the family, telling each of them, “You are in a high position. You are wonderful.” Grandparents play the role of the servant of love to the greatest extent… The greatest, most amazing and most powerful person in the universe is the person who walks the way of the servant of love. (135:121-22, October 4, 1985)

It is wonderful when a daughter-in-law loves her grandmother and grandfather so much that she always buys better things for them than for her husband. She may be good-looking, and the old grandfather and grandmother may be all wrinkled, yet whenever she goes shopping she looks to buy something for them, something finer than what she buys for her husband, and she does it with a more joyful heart. What a wonderful scene! If she does that, then the grandfather and grandmother will give her everything they had hidden away—everything having to do with love.
    Who is the oldest being in the world? It is God. Therefore, you learn from loving your grandfather how to love God and live for His sake. When you learn this tradition, you can receive all the treasures of love stored in Grandfather God’s secret warehouse. It is wonderful! (107:329, June 8, 1980)

It is true that many grandchildren and daughters-in-law hate to see the cane their grandfather carries about.28 Perhaps they wish the grandfather an early death? Rather, good grandchildren and daughters-in-law who have loving hearts would think, “Oh God, when the cane disappears someday, I will be drenched in tears.” (184:270, January 1, 1989)

If the people of a nation hold the elderly in contempt, eventually that nation will lose its national character. A person who doesn’t like old people is selling out the character and tradition of his nation. (21:120, November 17, 1968)
