    In order to become heavenly royalty, you must first become filial children, patriots, saints and divine sons and daughters. The training ground for this is the family. The ideal Kingdom of Heaven comes about when the perfected family expands. The family is always the center. The problem boils down to two people: a man and a woman. When an ideal man and an ideal woman come together as husband and wife, and form a family, then everything is completed. The ideal family expands to become a nation and world.        
    Through serving in the family and respecting your parents, you become children of filial piety. In the same way, when you attend and live for the king of your nation, you become patriots, and if you live for all humankind, you become saints. So you should realize how much the dimension of a holy child differs from yours. In order for you to change, you must make revolutionary changes in yourselves and ascend through numerous levels. (293-211, 1998.5.26) Emphasis mine.

At the time of creation, God stood in the position of having exercised absolute faith, love, and obedience, but because human beings failed to form families that could stand as object partners to Him, they consequently fell into hell. We are now living in the time when everything that was lost in Adam’s family can be restored worldwide through absolute faith, love and obedience on the unified foundation of True Parents’ realm of victory. Unification Church members must therefore inherit and practice absolute faith, love and obedience centering on the True Parents. True Parents inherited these absolute traditions from God, and so you should inherit these traditions in turn. Do you understand? Then God’s blessing will be with you. (1996.11.3)  Emphasis mine.

Original Substance of the Divine Principle

Family Pledge

The Family is…

  • God’s ideal of creation
  • The basic unit of the Kingdom of Heaven
  • The training ground for shimjung and true love that allows us to be registered in the Kingdom of True Love
  • The core body where tri-generational love is unified
  • The basic unit of order for society and nation
  • Absolute Sex (Realm of True Love, True Life and True Lineage) à Sexual Purity, Purity of Lineage, Purity of Love

Accordingly, the True Family is the Eternal Homeland of Humankind.

The Family Pledge is…

  • The backbone, the core and the order of the family
  • The absolute standard for realizing Cheon Il Guk and the core of its constitution
  • The gospel of gospels for connecting our lives with God
  • The key for opening the gate of the Kingdom of Heaven
  • The prayer of prayers
  • The blessing of blessings, given by Heaven to humankind
  • The Family Pledge is the record of the victories won during the life of the True Parent.

The more you are persecuted, the more ideal and higher the place you will go to. When you arrive there, you will become a noble citizen of heaven. God will look down and say, “This is my beloved son!” Your five sensory organs will be enraptured with God’s love. The entire universe will bow its head and give praise to you. Such a world awaits you, as for the coming of a saint. That is our ultimate hope. Do you understand? (294-96, 1998.6.14)

Now everyone has to know about the Unification Church. It has become such a matter of common knowledge that those who are ignorant of it would be considered as having no common sense. It is true. People who haven’t heard of the Unification Church would be considered to be good-for-nothings. You will experience this all too well if you go abroad. If they ask you where you are from and you answer, “Korea!” they will automatically ask you, “What is this I hear about the 30,000-Couple wedding?” If you were not present at the ceremony, you should say at the very least, “I saw it on television.” If they ask you, “How was it?” you cannot just say, “It was magnificent!” and stop there. When they ask you, “So it was magnificent, but who was there?” you would have to describe to them every aspect of the ceremony, wouldn’t you? The same is true for me.

2. The Human Fall as the Cause of Male Domination

The man said, “The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me fruit of the tree, and I ate.” Then the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this that you have done?” The woman said, “The serpent beguiled me, and I ate.” The Lord God said… to the woman,
“I will greatly multiply your pain in childbearing; in pain you shall bring forth children,     yet your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you.”
