    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”

Everyone’s Property Rights Must Be Respected

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1475

You need to attain oneness with your spouse. Through the unity of subject and object partners, reproduction takes place. Only through give and take action can reproduction take place. The place where reproduction occurs is truly one of joy. Does God Himself have dual characteristics of internal nature and external form? When separate, neither can be the subject partner. Only when man and woman unite, can the subject of the couple be established. When they are united, the man automatically becomes the subject partner, even if he did not wish it to be so. (42-115, 1971.2.28)

Cheon Seong Gyeong 605

    In the spirit world, the earth seems like a speck of dust. You would not know how immense the spirit world is. It is an infinite world that transcends time and space. You will only have to call out, “Whoever lived on earth with such and such a heart at such and such a time show yourself!” and that person will appear in the twinkling of an eye. It is a world where intuitive sensations become real.
    It will not be a problem to host a banquet for a million people at once. You would just have to say, “I want to share with everyone this joy of ideal love by having a banquet in which the women will be dressed in such and such a way and the men will wear such and such clothes and I’d like it to happen now!” No sooner said than done, meals and fruit will appear instantaneously according to your wishes. If everyone has eaten their fill, what will you do with the leftovers? There are no kitchens there. You don’t need to worry about anything.
    There are no food-processing plants or auto-manufacturing plants or anything like that. There are all kinds of flowers. You can create as many houses as you want corresponding to the level of your heart of love. (224-105, 1991.11.23)

Family Pledge 4; Building the Universal Family and Perfecting the world of Freedom, Peace, Unity and Happiness

The Big Idea:  The universal family centers on God’s true love and His truth.  The individual and whole purpose are naturally harmonized.  Families should not just live by themselves.  Rather, they should help other families in the community to realize God’s ideal.

The longer you take to achieve this, the longer your ancestors will have to wait, tapping their feet impatiently in the spirit world, and exclaiming, “You dimwits! What’s taking you so long?” They want to be liberated as soon as possible, and so the liberation of the realm of the archangel will take place quickly. Since we are blessing the realm of the archangel on earth, we should also bless those in the spirit world. That is why as soon as we have accomplished the Blessing of 3.6 million couples, I can bequeath to Heung-jin and Dae Mo Nim the power to bless those in the spirit world. (284-164, 1997.4.16)

When God began creation, do you think He started by first creating the color He liked the most or the color He disliked the most? If that’s the question, then what color is the flower that blooms in early spring? It is a purple color. The color purple includes red and pink, and what other colors? It has all the colors in it. You like the color purple, don’t you? Elegant things are in purple. In the spirit world, the most beautiful color is purple. (197-49, 1990.1.7)

CHAPTER THREE

Our Course of Life
Centered on Love

Section 8. Earthly Life is Training to be in
Rhythm with the Spirit World

I have a depth of spiritual experience. The spirit world is a place
enveloped in the elements of love. On the earth, we breathe air,
but in the spirit world, people live by inhaling love. The love you
share in the spirit world is not secular human love but true love.
(145.267, 1986.5.15)

When you go to spirit world, you will find that those who have fully
loved their parents, brothers and sisters, spouse, and children — that
is, those who have experienced deep love in their family life — will
be able to enjoy great freedom. They can go everywhere without
restriction. Conversely, those in the spirit world who have no
experience of love are narrow-minded; they find themselves isolated
and alone, with no freedom whatsoever. The love between parents
and children is a vertical relationship, the love between husband
and wife is a horizontal relationship, and the love among brothers
and sisters is a relationship that circles and surrounds.

These three relationships differ from one another. Therefore, only
when you experience deep love through these three mutually
distinct interactions on earth can you circulate freely vertically,
horizontally, and in a circle. Those who have not tasted parental
love because their parents died early are in a rather tragic position
because they are missing an important experience of love.
Likewise, those who have not experienced the conjugal love
relationship of husband and wife as well as love in the family,
become poor people in the spirit world because they lack a crucial
experience of life. Those who have no brothers and sisters will also
be in a poor position in the spirit world because they lack this
experience. (Blessed Family – 1062)

The reason to marry is to deeply experience parental love, conjugal
love, and children’s love. We need these experiences because the
spirit world is filled with the air of such love. You need to have a
family to train yourself to be in rhythm with the spirit world. Those
who go to the spirit world without these experiences of love cannot
follow the rhythm there. They will be as one without a nose to
inhale such air of love. (Blessed Family -1062)

You are born from your father and mother. What is more
fundamental is the fact that you are born from God by having
borrowed your mother’s womb. You find true parents through the
universal parents and through your physical parents. Your
physical parents are temporary, so the moment of your death is a
time of jubilation when you go to meet the True Parents. The true
love of the true parents is there. This is the Kingdom of Heaven in
heaven, where the atmosphere is composed of love and filled with
parental love. That love is not for me; it is a love that is in keeping
with the unilateral law under the principle of service and sacrifice.
In accord with this principle, you must love the universe and
humankind. Your life on earth is the training ground for the
development of such love. (105-108, 1979.9.30)

How important is your life on earth? You only live it once. It is a
short moment that only comes once. When compared to eternal
life, the earthly life is but a point. It is too short a moment. At this
moment, we must go beyond our physical life and make
preparation for the spirit world. (207-99, 1990.11.1)

   The Blessing brings inheritance of the foundation of a connection with the lineage of God’s true life. Since there are people in both the spiritual and physical worlds who have inherited His lineage through the Blessing, He is able to have full dominion over them. Thus, even now, with full authority He is freely pressing ahead with re-creation and the providence of restoration without needing to set up indemnity conditions. Hence, the question at hand is whether you can stand in the position of His object partner with such conviction. Once you have made your resolution to unite with the standard of absolute faith, love and obedience, everything can be rapidly put in place in the equalized world.  

    Every one of you should practice absolute love and obedience. The families in Eden had nothing in their name. Had they become true sons and daughters, standing in oneness with God and His absolute love and lineage, everything in the whole universe would have belonged to them, as God originally intended to bequeath everything to His children. Once you have attained oneness with God through love, everything will become yours.
    You should not believe that everything you have in your possession truly belongs to you. Of the things you can possess, the greatest of all is God’s love, and the greatest thing you can become is a family of His sons and daughters who are eligible to receive His love. This comes first. When that was lost, everything was lost. Conversely, through its recovery, you can recover everything. In order for you to establish such a family centering on God’s love, you must create it from a position of possessing absolutely nothing and connect the foundation of absolute faith, love and obedience with the ideal. Having this original standard, you must stand in the position of being denied even by the satanic world.

    If the True Parents had not come to the earth to teach people the fundamentals, those people will have problems when they pass on to the spirit world. Through this teaching being conveyed to every village and town in the world, the spiritual and physical worlds can be completely united. Thus, the 360,000 Couples Blessing held this year was truly great. At the end of the forty-year course, we were able to achieve, along with the liberation of women through the appearance of the True Mother, the 30,000 Couples Blessing. The reason the number of couples was set at 30,000 was in order to establish a new foundation of the Blessing in the world, based on the True Mother standing on the global level and involving Cain and Abel. That ceremony was the formation stage, and so this latter ceremony, the 360,000 Couples Blessing, can be said to be the growth stage. Through it, God is keeping the world in pace with His providence by focusing everyone’s attention on the problems of the family.
    At the moment, the whole world has become like hell. However much nations may take pride in being advanced, they must bow their heads in shame over the problems of the family. Families have completely broken down to the point that no one can tackle their problems. The situation is so serious that no economic, military, or political power can deal with it. (272-179, 1995.10.5)

CHAPTER THREE

Our Course of Life
Centered on Love

Section 5. God’s Blessing Allows You to Inherit
Love and Joy

A glorious new morning will dawn when God assumes a physical
body. The time He can love His grandchildren is a time more
glorious than the time He can love His sons and daughters. How
do you think God expressed His joy to Adam after having created
him? God had to teach Adam about His parental joy, but that can
be learned only when the children have their own sons and
daughters. Children cannot know what parental love is like, but
they do come to understand after having babies and a family.
They understand that their parents loved them while raising them.
Therefore, the day when your child takes a spouse is a day of
glory, and the day your child has a child is a day of glory. (Blessed
Family – 934)

You should know God’s love. You should experience your parents’
love and learn how to serve them. You should all experience
conjugal love with your spouses and learn how to serve them. You
should know your children’s love. Do not just give orders to your
children, but learn how to understand and serve them as well.
Only then can you understand God’s love. Without children, you
are in an incomplete state. You cannot understand God’s love.
You cannot understand how much God loved human beings, His
children. Furthermore, without being a husband, you cannot
know the wife, and without being a wife, you cannot know the
husband. Children do not know what parents’ love is like until
they become parents. So without sons and daughters, you cannot
be true parents. (133-138, 1984.7.10)

Parents want their children to be married because they want to
bequeath to them and completely teach them of parental love.
When parents die, they leave their real selves behind with their
descendants. This is why they need descendants. Love is
something that continues forever. Since love is the highest human
desire, everyone wants to inherit it with their arms wide open.
When parents bequeath their love to their descendants, they can
stand proudly before God in the spirit world. It is through the
family that love becomes complete. Going to the heavenly
kingdom through the family means that the realm of oneness of
love has been realized. (Blessed Family – 934)

People should follow this principle. Seeds are sown in the spring;
in summer, plants develop fully; and in autumn, they bear fruit. In
winter, you should put things in order and carry the essence of
this new seed of life deep within your heart. Only then will you
have seeds to plant again when spring returns. This means that in
the future you should be parents and raise sons and daughters like
yourselves. (26-158, 1969.10.25)

Why do people feel sorry when they do not have sons and
daughters? They feel sorry because they cannot form a circle.
When you see birds feeding their young, you can recognize the
deep love of the mother bird. Western people may not know this,
but in the Orient, children are liked more than adults. People
show polite respect for adults, but they show the utmost love for
children. You can realize how much your parents loved you when
you have your own sons and daughters and raise them. (Blessed
Family – 934)

Everyone should get married and have and raise their children so
they can know both children’s love and parental love. It seems that
western people are not like this. They avoid having and raising
sons and daughters. They hesitate to have children because the
children may limit their freedom to marry and divorce. But when
people fail to establish the four-position foundation, they cannot
go to the Kingdom of Heaven because they do not know God’s
heart of loving people. (Blessed Family – 934)

The Unification Church is setting up the absolute substantial standard that Adam and Jesus failed to establish due to the interference of Satan. The Holy Wedding Ceremony was initiated in 1960 by establishing Father’s family. Thereafter, we had to form the realm of the tribe, going beyond the realm of the family. In order to create the realm of the tribe, we should stand in the position of the apostles who were united into one with Jesus. If Jesus had formed a family after he had established a relationship with his apostles as the subject, then the apostles would in turn have been able to create families of their own. In this way, a new realm of tribe would have been formed within Judaism. (55-147, 1972.5.7

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1466

Life passes by very quickly. After attaining maturity and coming to know the affairs of the world, doing things here and there, you will find yourselves crossing the forty-year mark, and soon after that, the fifty-year mark. A decade will fly by in the twinkling of an eye, and in what will seem like only seconds, you will be sixty years old. Then very soon you will be seventy, but only for a minute before you age again. When you think about it, the saying, “Life is but a fleeting dream,” has never sounded so true. (188-38, 1989.2.16)

Peace

The Peace of God

God is the source of peace. When we look around us and see only conflict and war, when we despair of finding peace on earth, we turn to God, the King of peace. When God comes to us, he soothes the anger in our breasts and lets us see our enemy from a different perspective, as a brother or sister. God is love; therefore with God we gain the power to love even our enemy. (see chapter 13: Love Your Enemy) therefore, the key to peace is to live with God, and to manifest God’s love.
Father Moon adds an additional insight: since God’s love dwells especially in the thick relationships of marriage and family, the God-centered, peaceful family is the actual building block of a peaceful society, nation and world.

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men!
