NOTE: As of August 2008, free, high-quality, MP3-audio-file downloads of the 15 PMs are available at:
http://www.familyfed.org/board/uboard.asp?id=download&u_no=78
[Editor's Note: Sometime before Jan. 2009, those extremely useful and important MP3-audio-files were mysteriously removed/deleted from the (www.familyfed.org) website. No explanation was offered for this grossly suspicious deletion, but there is one obvious, clandestine reason. These MP3-audio-files contained some content that was later edited out of the text/PDF, published versions of the 15 Peace Messages, (15 PMs). For example, at one point in PM 9, about 4 minutes of the audio-content is missing from the text/PDF PM 9. There, the audio states, "FOR IF YOU (Koreans), WHO ARE REGISTERED, FAIL ONCE MORE, YOUR DESCENDANTS WILL SUFFER IN HELL FOR THOUSANDS OF GENERATIONS". It is not made totally clear, as to what that "FAIL ONCE MORE" entails, but we do know, (from the audio only), that this speech was originally given to a 100% Korean-audience, in Korea, on Sept. 12, 2006. But this date and location information was deleted, from the edited text/PDF versions. There may be plausible deniability here, as to why this unusually stark, extremely damning statement/warning was edited out. But there is no plausible excuse for deleting the original, Sept. 12, 2006 DATE and LOCATION of this speech; those deletions cunningly make it impossible for anyone to ever look up the original, full-content text of this speech, (i.e. PM 9). This is just one small example of how so-called "leaders" in the UC/UM have been covering up their evil behavior in the trash-bin of UC/UM history, for over five decades.]

DEAR READER: PLEASE BE SURE TO READ THE FOLLOWING "Editor's Note/Introduction", FOR A CRUCIAL, ACCURATE, "INSIDER'S" ANALYSIS!!!

Editor's Note/Introduction:
As of July - August 2007, Rev. Moon has apparently included these "15 Peace Messages" in the content of "Hoon Dok Hae", HDH, which is to be read for one hour, every day.
The following text of "THE 15 PEACE MESSAGES", (i.e. 15 speeches), was taken from the Internet. Five of the speeches, (i.e. speeches 3, 8, 9, 10, and 12), have some identical content. Concerning the reason(s) for this identical content, it is clear that Rev. Moon wants the whole world to know exactly WHO these messages/speeches were delivered to, because He was quite adamant in demanding that the DATE and LOCATION where each message/speech was delivered be clearly stated.
With that information, we can usually know exactly who He was speaking to. For example, on 09JAN08, He gave a short speech in Chung Pyung, Korea, to a 100% Korean-UC audience, (shown in photo), and He spoke about His "15 Peace Messages", as at:
http://www.tparents.org/Moon-Talks/SunMyungMoon08
/SunMyungMoon-080109.htm

He also said, "You, scoundrels, are attending Heavenly Parent and True Parents, but if you don't uphold the Heavenly law, you will die on the spot; you will have no place to go".
So, after 50+ years of patiently exhorting the self-centered UC-Koreans who have twisted and suppressed His words, Rev. Moon is finally warning them in no uncertain terms.
With the overriding, pithy, prime content of these "15 Peace Messages", (which take less than 8 hours, to hear or to read), He has made His strongest push ever to reach everyone on Earth, finally effectively bypassing the scheming machinations of such detrimental "scoundrels" in the UC/UM.

In Peace Message 13, Rev. Moon clarifies that these 15 Peace Messages are His personally created "summary"/digest, of all of His past speeches, including His revelation, Divine Principle, (DP). To help us understand that this "summary" trumps all other publications or claims, as to His "directions" or "statements", He says, "Please immerse yourselves in the contents of my (15) peace messages, to the point where you virtually know them by heart, and make them the guidelines for your life. These messages of peace are a summary of my teachings that can be found in more than a thousand volumes of True Parents' speeches".

On May 16, 2007, Rev. Moon gave a very short speech, describing the 15 Peace Messages, (PMs), and giving some specific directions on how to best study them. He especially emphasized PM#s 9, 10, 11, and 12, as well as #13, at:
http://www.tparents.org/moon-talks/sunmyungmoon07/SunMyungMoon-070516.htm
In that 16MAY07 speech, He said, "I'm telling you to read peace messages 9, 10, 11, 12 everyday for an hour and a half or even two hours. People exercise. You should record your readings and listen to it as you exercise. Then you can read three to four of these messages in one day. You should read the messages in order from the first message to the twelfth. Are you doing that? If you can perfect the contents of even one of the messages you can go to the kingdom of heaven".

In that 16MAY07 speech, He also made the following five statements, in relation to the content of His 15 Peace Messages:

(1) “Peace Message 10 is about absolute sexual ethics. Message 11 is what Ambassadors for Peace must teach. Message 12 brings the physical and spiritual worlds together as one. 13 is the last chapter for a unified world in the Pacific Rim.”

(2) “Americans and Koreans, people are all different. They must be brought to alignment. In peace message 12 an introductory overview is given and in peace message 13 heaven and earth must be made into a new heaven and earth. From this time on, you must have the determination as people who inherited the four chapters -- peace messages 9, 10, 11, 12 -- to be without shame in facing tomorrow.”

(3) “Do you believe in me? Do you believe and wish for things from me? The more you wish something from me the more conditions you should set up and follow up. Yet, there isn't a single person who is doing that. There isn't a single person who went beyond that hill. They are still at the bottom of the mountain saying, ‘Father take me with you’...."

(4) “I am praying for the sake of the Unification Church a thousand years from now and even ten thousand years from now. Rather than living in this world today, I am focused on creating an ideal throne on which God should be rightfully seated.”

(5) “Once you are on God's side you cannot freely cross that border line. I too am completely within God's authority. I am not free to do as I please.”

The 15-Peace-Messages text, (with additional content), is available as a $10 paper-back book, (although it has no ISBN number, and no stated copyright restrictions), entitled "Messages of Peace --- Pyeong Hwa Hoon Gyeong", published by the "Family Federation for World Peace and Unification", (FFWPU), at HSA Publications, 4 W 43rd St., NY, NY, [at phone (212) 997-0050, Extension 236], with copies also available at the walk-in store, at Extension 222, as of Oct. 2007.

Many punctuation additions have been made here, for the sake of easier reading and, (in some cases), clearer understanding. ALL OTHER EDITING CORRECTIONAL-ADDITIONS MADE TO THIS TEXT ARE IN (ROUND PARENTHESES), and [square-brackets] denote original content; the strict editing-rule followed, is that no deletion has been made, unless it was absolutely clear that a typographical error had occurred.
An effort has been made, TO MAKE THIS TEXT MORE CLEAR TO ALL READERS, since some of the terminology, (such as "Blessing" and "Principle"), has specific, expanded meaning to Unification Church, (UC), and Unification Movement, (UM), members.
Editor's words have been added in parentheses, [while leaving the original words intact], in an attempt to clarify the meaning, (without presuming to be absolutely correct in these intuitive additions).
A special effort has been made, to add appropriate words that clarify the use of such words as "digest", "subjugate", and "authority", which can have overbearing, dark, and even ominous connotations, (in English), that do not apply to this content. That is to say, digesting or subjugating someone within the authority of "DEMONSTRATING TRUE, GOD-CENTERED LOVE", significantly refines the meanings of these words.
Although no better words are available in English, (and most likely not in Korean, either), the words, "royal", "King", "Queen", "princes", and "princesses", are also terribly misleading misnomers here, implying prerogative license and a lack of accountability that do not apply to "Unificationist royalty/leaders", who are required, (by God and by mankind), to be absolutely, eternally, specifically accountable for their actions and their inactions.

The Korean language and culture posit that a "benevolent king" can exist, but the reality, is that evil tyranny always follows unchecked, non-transparent power. In the case of the UC/UM and its teachings, (i.e. 1973 Divine Principle, 1997 HDH, and 2007 "15 Peace Messages"), the demands made on "Unificationist royalty/leaders", for specific, strict accountability and transparency, are absolute, eternal, and unchanging. Even so, there are duplicitous Unificationists who withhold and/or try to suppress these parts/demands of the Divine-Principle entirety, which, (technically speaking), includes every word Rev. Moon has ever spoken and everything He has ever done, in His Messianic Mission.
Rev. Moon defined such duplicitous Unificationists, in His ("Hoon-Dok-Hae", HDH-content), April 3, 1983 speech, entitled "Total Indemnity", saying, "A person who does not appreciate Restoration-through-indemnity is the king of satans, even if he is a member of the Unification Church". In other words, He is saying that "winning people over" is the UC mandate, without using self-centered, deceitful manipulation, or force, or violence; and He is saying that any UC-member who teaches parts of DP, (i.e. half-truth lies), in order to control and/or exploit people, should be severely punished.

To detect evil, we do well to "follow the money". At long last, after decades of UC so-called "leaders" claiming the half-truth lie that we should all "tithe" to them, Rev. Moon states, in Peace Message 5, "This, (i.e. tithing 30% of our income), cannot be an imposed tax; it has to be a gift that citizens offer willingly to Heaven with joyful hearts". Although it is not specified, this means that strict accountability and full disclosure/transparency are required, with severe punishments for any misuse of that public money. Therefore, all of that 30%-tithe MUST go to our 360-home-area Home-Church work, under our own control, if no absolute accountability, (i.e. as ratified UC-Constitution and Laws), is enforced. If/when that absolute accountability is enforced, then 10% would go to "local", (i.e. Home-Church), needs, 10% to national-level UC-needs, and 10% to world-level UC-needs.

In addition, although these "15 Peace Messages" are supposed to be definitive, a HUGE, GLARING HOLE has been left, for evil UC so-called "leaders" to exploit; it is the required "Ceremony of Returning Ownership", which must be very exactly defined. In the (intentionally-vague?) English-translation, Rev. Moon says, "In order to belong to Heaven, you must change ownership by participating in the 'Ceremony of Returning Ownership', offering everything you own to God and then receiving it back from God".
THIS CAN BE DONE AS A SYMBOLIC, (BUT VERY REAL), CONDITION, BY SIMPLY DECLARING OUR SINCERITY IN THIS MATTER! The specific terms of this ceremony must be exactly defined, BY REV. MOON, (again requiring strict accountability, transparency, and severe punishments, for those who might impose this ceremony improperly), to prevent duplicitous Unificationists from using this "Ceremony" as a means to egotistically, self-centeredly enrich themselves, and/or disobey God's Will in any way, in this matter.
Simply abdicating God's Will, by giving everything you own to a UC/UM so-called "leader", (without well-defined and legally-enforceable accountability, transparency, and punishments for wrongdoing, by that UC/UM "leader"), will only serve Satan's Will, since not all suffering/sacrifice is Restoration-indemnity, but can indeed be "Anti-Restoration INDUMBNITY", which is very much against God's Will, according to Divine Principle. Aju!, [ah-jjjoo], (i.e. as owners of the Universe, we reside with and affirm God!).

CONTENT OF PDF DOCUMENTS:
message 1 = 9 pages, message 2 = 6 pages, message 3 = 8 pages, message 4 = 5 pages, message 5 = 4 pages, message 6 = 2 pages, message 7 = 8 pages, message 8 = 9 pages, message 9 = 9 pages, message 10 = 9 pages, message 11 = 7 pages, message 12 = 9 pages, message 13 = 9 pages, message 14 = 20 pages, message 15 = 7 pages

TOTAL OF 121 PDF PAGES, (final pages are partial, so subtract 9 pages, leaving 112 pages)
TOTAL OF 112 PDF PAGES:
IT TAKES ABOUT (4 MINUTES, 40 SECONDS), TO READ ALOUD ONE PAGE.

(4 min., 40 sec.) = [280 sec. per page])
112 x 280 = 31,360 seconds = 523 minutes = 8 HOURS, 43 MINUTES

SO IT TAKES JUST (8 HOURS, 43 MINUTES), TO READ ALOUD ALL 15 PEACE MESSAGES AT A "NORMAL" SPEAKING-SPEED. AT A SLIGHTLY HIGHER SPEED, THIS TIME CAN EASILY BE SHORTENED TO UNDER 7 HOURS.

PEACE MESSAGE 1

GOD’S IDEAL FAMILY AND THE KINGDOM
OF THE PEACEFUL, IDEAL WORLD – I
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rev. Dr. Sun Myung Moon gave this speech on the occasion of the founding of the Universal Peace Federation on September 12, 2005. It was also given in the UPF inaugural world speaking tour to 10 nations and in the rallies for the Return of the Homeland to God, held in 180 nations in 2006.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Distinguished world leaders, Ambassadors for Peace, and Blessed-(UC-married)-family members who have come from all parts of the world, in the hope of bringing about the realization of world peace and building the ideal hometown in heaven and on earth:

I would like to express my deepest gratitude to all of you for coming together in the midst of your busy schedules, to take part in this rally -- to expand and elevate to a global level, the "Family Party for Universal Peace and Unity", so that it may be reborn as the "Cheon Il Guk House for Peace and Unification" -- to make the Universal Peace Federation a model, UN-type organization -- and to make Cheon Il Guk the kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world through the concerted efforts of all the nations of the world.

Ladies and gentlemen, as we begin the twenty-first century, we find ourselves at a truly historic turning-point. We are at a point of decision. Can everlasting world-peace take root, or are
we doomed to repeat the twentieth century’s dark and oppressive history of war and conflict?

The twentieth century was a period of ceaseless struggle, including that of colonized countries to gain their independence, the First and Second World Wars, the Korean War, and the Cold War. Living through this era, I dedicated my life entirely to bringing about the kingdom of God, the kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world. I have always prayed sincerely that the United Nations, founded after the Second World War, would be an institution for peace, and that it would uphold God’s will for the realization of eternal world-peace.

The United Nations has indeed made important contributions to peace. Nevertheless, around its sixtieth anniversary, in 2005, there was a broad consensus, both inside and outside the organization, that the UN had yet to discover the way to fulfill its founding purposes. The number of member states approaches two hundred, but the offices of these states do little more than represent and even insist on their own interests. They seem inherently unable to resolve conflicts and achieve peace.

For these reasons, I would like once more to declare today before all humanity, the message I gave throughout the Universal-Peace-Federation inauguration-tour, launched last year on September 12th in New York, which took me to 120 nations around the world. It is entitled, “God’s Ideal Family and the Kingdom of the Peaceful, Ideal World”.

The mission of the Universal Peace Federation is to renew the existing United Nations, a “Cain-type” UN, and provide a new level of leadership, as an “Abel-type” UN. It will unite heaven and earth, and form the kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world.

This message should be engraved on the hearts of humankind. It is Heaven’s special blessing in this era after the coming of heaven. It is also a warning to us, that we should take to heart and put into action.

~ God’s Ideal Family ~

Respected world leaders, what do you think is God’s ultimate purpose for creating human beings? Simply put, it is to experience joy, through relating with ideal families (that are) filled with true love. What does an ideal family look like? First, each person in the family is an owner of true love. When God first created human beings, He made Adam representing all men, and Eve representing all women, with the intention that they become owners of true love. The quickest way for them to cultivate a character of true love was to secure a parent-child relationship with God, whereby they could live attending God as their Father. They were to have followed the path of living as one family with God.

I invite you to enter into a transcendent state and prayerfully ask God, “What is the center of the universe?”. The answer you hear will undoubtedly be, “the parent–child relationship”. Nothing is more important or more precious than the relationship between parent and child. This is because it defines the fundamental relationship between the Creator God and human beings.

Then, what defines the parent-child relationship? -- Three things: love, life, and lineage.

The first is love. We can love with true love because God, our True Parent, first loved us with true love. God created human beings out of His absolute love, to be His partners in love. This relationship forms an axis of love, linking God the Father with human beings, as His sons and daughters.

Could there be anything higher or more precious than to be a son or daughter of God? If anything were higher, then surely human beings would aspire to attain it. But there is nothing higher. Do you think that when the omniscient and omnipotent God created Adam and Eve, He secretly reserved the highest position for Himself, and made Adam and Eve to be only second best? We cannot imagine that God would do that to His children, to His partners who share absolute love with Him.

As our eternal True Parent, God invested Himself 100-percent in the creation of human beings, and endowed us with the right to equal status with Him, to participate in His work as equals, to live with Him, and to inherit from Him. God bestowed upon human beings all of His attributes.

Though God is the absolute being, He cannot be happy alone. Adjectives such as “good” and “happy” cannot apply to any being that lives in isolation. They apply only where there is a dynamic, mutual relationship. Imagine a professional singer who finds herself on an uninhabited island. She may sing at the top of her voice, but with no one to listen, will it bring her happiness? In the same way, even the self-existent God absolutely needs a partner with whom to share love, in order to experience joy and be happy.

Next is life. How shall we live, to become God’s partner and return joy to Him? In other words, how shall we live, to become children of God, people whom God delights to call “My son”, or “My daughter”, because He sees in us a divinity equal to His own? How can we become God’s partners in completing the work of Creation, partners who will inherit the entire creation? This is my answer: We should emulate the ideal that God set up at the beginning of His creative acts. At the beginning of the Creation, God acted upon the principle of living for the sake of others. In other words, everything that He did was for the sake of His creations, whom He hoped would develop into His partners of true love. The practice of true love is the nucleus of God’s creative activity.

Therefore, to become God’s children, our first responsibility is to resemble Him. We need to embody true love. The way to embody true love begins with living as a devoted child, then a patriot, a saint, and finally a divine son or daughter of God. At that stage we can experience the innermost emotions of God’s heart, and resolve the grief that He has experienced for tens-of-thousands of years, since the Fall of Adam and Eve.

God is almighty. It was not due to any shortcoming or lack of ability, that He has been imprisoned in great pain and has endured immense suffering behind the scenes of history. Rather, there are provisions in the Principle-of-Restoration, which He has not been free to disclose, that called Him to wait with forbearance until Adam and Eve’s positions, lost at the human Fall, were recovered through the appearance of the perfected “Second Adam”. Although God is all-powerful, He will not set aside the eternal laws and principles that He Himself established.

~ The Importance of Lineage ~

Do you know what has pained God’s heart the most, causing Him the greatest grief over the long history since the Fall of Adam and Eve? God lost His lineage. And with the loss of His lineage, He lost His right of ownership.

Let me talk about lineage for a moment. Lineage is more important than life, and more important than love. Life and love come together, to create lineage. Lineage cannot be established if either life or love is missing. Therefore, among the three qualities that define the parent-child relationship -- love, life, and lineage -- lineage is the fruit.

God’s lineage contains the seed of true love. God’s lineage provides the context and environment for a true life. Hence, for us to become the ideal people envisioned by God, that is, people of ideal character, and to create ideal families, we first need to be linked to His lineage. To take it a step further, only when we are linked to God’s lineage is it possible to create God’s homeland, the ideal nation. Only when we are linked to God’s lineage is it possible to establish the kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world. Please inscribe the importance of lineage in your hearts. I cannot emphasize this enough.

Without lineage, neither life nor love can endure. You strive to set a good tradition, but it will endure only through your lineage. Lineage is the bridge allowing the parents’ spirit to carry on, through subsequent generations. In other words, lineage is the first and final condition necessary, for parents to harvest the fruits of their love, the fruits of their life and the fruits of their joy. We need to know this with certainty.

Yet, when Adam and Eve fell, this lineage, more precious than life, was lost. The fruits of true life and true love never matured. They became the fruits of Satan, lacking any relationship with Heaven. From them descended the six-billion people now inhabiting the earth.

God intended for the seeds He planted in the springtime of the Garden of Eden, to grow into a bountiful crop that He could harvest in the autumn. The ideal of God’s creation was to raise Adam and Eve, His son and daughter, to the point where they would blossom in true love, flourish with true life, and bear fruit in a true lineage. God desired to gather up owners -- and families -- of eternal life, eternal love, and eternal lineage, and to bring about His kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world as their homeland.

~ God’s Suffering in Search of the True Parents ~

Instead, however, it was false love, false life, and false lineage that infested the earth. God’s love, life, and lineage fell into the hands of the adulterer Satan, the enemy of love. Heaven and earth were suffocated and transformed into hell. The world became a wretched place, far from God’s presence. Yet, humanity to this day lives in ignorance of this.

People are deluded into believing that the lineage of the enemy is the lifeline upon which the world depends. This is the wretched truth about humanity descended from the Fall. That is why we refer to this world as "hell on earth". God views humanity’s tragic situation with a heart full of pain.

After creating Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, God intended to marry them with His Holy (Marriage) Blessing, and bequeath to them Heaven’s right of ownership. God wanted Adam and Eve to inherit from Him the ownership of the entire universe.

However, all of this came under Satan’s control because of the Fall. God is like a father who labored and sweated, his entire life, to accumulate assets for his children, only to have a thief steal everything overnight.

Who can comprehend the sorrowful, painful heart of God? God lost His lineage, lost His children, and was forced to hand over the ownership of the nations and world to Satan. There was only one way to recover this lineage and ownership. This was the path to win the natural subjugation (winning over) of Satan, to have Satan surrender voluntarily. What is the secret to accomplish this? It can only be accomplished by the power of true love, when we love our enemies more than we love our own children.

Has there ever been a time when God could rejoice with human beings, as their True Father and True Mother, enjoying the natural bonds of parent and child? Has God enjoyed even a year of comfort with His children, knowing that what He created was good? The answer is no; God has not experienced such joy for even one hour. And has anyone been able to comfort God in this pain? No, because no one has known the reason for the unbridgeable gap that has separated God from humankind for tens-of-thousands of years. No one has known why God and humanity are in such a tragic situation.

The biblical account of Cain and Abel reveals the beginnings of human conflict, even within Adam’s family. It reveals the archetype for humankind’s unending history of struggle, war, and conflict. We are in conflict on many levels, beginning with the war between mind and body within each individual, and extending to wars between nations, and even to the global conflict between materialism and theism.

Extreme, selfish individualism threatens our prosperity even today. We deem young people to be the hope of humanity holding the promise for the future, but drugs and free sex enslave them. Advanced countries seem to believe that material goods are all that matter. They recognize only their own interests, while ignoring the misery of tens-of-thousands who die of starvation every day.

Who can untie this ancient knot of Cain and Abel? It has been tightened for thousands of years and grows ever more entangled. Do you think the United Nations can do it? The UN, at its founding, proclaimed a movement for world peace, and for sixty years it has dedicated itself to this task; yet, world peace still remains far distant. Peace among nations can never come, when those entrusted with the task have not resolved the Cain-Abel relationship between their own mind and body. Therefore, the time has come to launch the Abel-type sovereignty for the peaceful, ideal world, that will set its course according to God’s will.

God longed with all His heart that someone would appear and resolve these tragedies, but no such person appeared on earth. God waited and waited, looking for anyone who would take on the role of the True Parent. If someone had come forward, I am certain that God would have appeared in his dreams, carried the sun and moon to him, and showered him with lightning of joy and thunder of ecstasy from the heavens.

In this sense, it is a miracle of miracles, that for the first time in history, a man has indeed succeeded in attaining the position of Adam. He has secured the status of the owner of true love, and received God’s anointing as the True Parent of humanity. It is an amazing fact, that his lifetime coincides with yours, and that you and he breathe the same air. He is the horizontal True Parent, who comes to rescue fallen humanity. I, Reverend Moon, gained the victory in that position. And on that foundation, on January 13, 2001, I dedicated to Heaven the “Coronation Ceremony for the Kingship of God”. By that ceremony I liberated and released God, our vertical True Parent, who has taken responsibility for the Providence-of-Restoration. In all of history, this was the highest and greatest blessing humanity has ever received. This victory was absolute, unique, unchanging and eternal. Through this absolute, providential victory, God’s body and mind are completely liberated!

~ The Way to Peace through the Holy-(Marriage)-Blessing Ceremony ~

Respected leaders! Our bondage to the lineage of Satan has caused so much suffering throughout history. Let us now boldly step forward to sever it and be grafted onto the root of the lineage of the True Parents. Why should we foolishly continue to live and die as wild olive-trees? A wild olive tree, even if it lives a thousand years, will only continue producing the seeds of more wild olive-trees. Where can we find the path to escape this vicious cycle? It is through the Holy (UC-Marriage) Blessing.

The Holy-(UC-marriage)-Blessing Ceremony offers the grace of being grafted onto the true olive-tree. It was instituted by the True Parents, who bring God’s true lineage to humankind. Once you change your lineage to God’s lineage, your offspring will naturally belong to God’s lineage. The Holy (UC-Marriage) Blessing is received in three stages: rebirth, resurrection, and eternal life. Once you receive the True Parents’ Holy (UC-Marriage) Blessing, you can give birth to pure, sinless offspring, and build an ideal family.

The best way to receive the Holy (UC-Marriage) Blessing, is through a cross-cultural marriage. This contributes to the enormous task of transcending the barriers of race, culture, nationality, ethnicity, and religion, and creating one family of humankind. In God’s sight, skin color makes no difference. God does not recognize national borders. God does not stand behind the barriers of religion and culture. They are nothing more than the devil’s tricks. The devil has used them to rule over humanity as a false parent for tens-of-thousands of years.

Imagine two enemy families who have cursed each other throughout their lives, people who would never dream of living together. What would happen if these families joined together, through a cross-cultural Holy (UC)-Marriage Blessing? If a son from one family and a daughter from the other became husband and wife, loved each other and built a happy home, would the parents in these two families curse their own children? If that son loved this beautiful daughter of a hated enemy, and she, as the daughter-in-law, were to gave birth to Heaven’s grandchildren, as pure and clear as crystal, the grandparents would smile with pleasure. In time the two lineages, once soaked with enmity, would be transformed.

What method, other than cross-cultural marriage, will empower Whites and Blacks, Jews and Muslims, Orientals and Westerners, and people of all races, to live as one human family? The ideal family is the model for living together in peace. The ideal family is the nest where we live and learn to become one. There we have the foundation, of love and respect between parents and children, shared trust and love between husband and wife, and mutual support among siblings. For this fundamental reason, you should receive the Holy (UC)-Marriage Blessing from the True Parents and establish Heaven’s tradition of ideal families, even if it means risking your very life.

~ A Life of True Love ~

Allow me to repeat myself: To resemble God, the original Being of true love, we should become the owners of true love. We should embody true love and practice it in order to develop our character. This is the way each of us can become true parents.

What is a life of true love? True love is the spirit of public service. It brings the peace that is at the root of happiness. Selfish love is a mask of the desire to have one’s partner exist for one’s own sake; true love is free from that corruption. Rather, its essence is to give -- to live for the sake of others, and (to live) for the sake of the whole. True love gives, forgets that it has given, and continues to give without ceasing. True love gives joyfully. We find it in the joyful and loving heart of a mother who cradles her baby in her arms and nurses it at her breast. True love is sacrificial love, as with a devoted son who gains his greatest satisfaction in helping his parents. God created the universe out of just such love: absolute, unique, unchanging, and eternal, investing everything without any expectation or condition of receiving something in return.

True love is the wellspring of the universe. Once we possess it, true love makes us the centers and the owners of the universe. True love is God’s essence and the manifestation of His will and power. When we are bound together in true love, we can be together forever, continually increasing in the joy of each other’s company. The attraction of true love brings all things in the universe to our feet; even God will come to dwell with us. Nothing can compare to the value of true love. It has the power to dissolve the barriers (that) fallen people have created, including national boundaries and the barriers of race and even religion.

The main attributes of true love are that it is absolute, unique, unchanging, and eternal, so that whoever practices God’s true love will live with God, share His happiness, and enjoy the right to participate as an equal in His work. Therefore, a life lived for the sake of others, a life of true love, is the absolute prerequisite for entering the kingdom of heaven.

Respected leaders, you are now living in the age when all marriages can receive God’s Blessing. God’s promises are coming to fruition. The kingdom of heaven on earth, God’s ideal of creation, is being established before your eyes.

I have dedicated my life of more than eighty years, solely for Heaven. It has been a lonely path, stained with blood, sweat, and tears. Yet now it is bearing victorious fruit for the sake of the world’s six-billion people. From the spirit world, the founders of the world’s religions, tens-of-thousands of saints, and your own good ancestors, are watching your every move. They will punish you if you stray from the heavenly path.

In more than 180 countries, Ambassadors for Peace who have inherited Heaven’s will and tradition are making serious efforts, day and night, to proclaim the values of true love and true family. They are moving forward with full force to establish the kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world on this earth.

In the Middle East, one of the world’s tinderboxes, Jews, Christians, and Muslims have found the resources in my philosophy of peace, to engage in a new dimension of dialogue. In past decades my "Unification Thought" played a decisive role in ending the Cold War. Now I am successfully leading behind-the-scenes efforts to bring about the reunification of my homeland of Korea.

But I am not yet satisfied, because I began my life’s work at the command of Heaven. I have come as the True Parent of humankind, with God’s anointing, and I am determined to keep my promise to Him. I am determined to obliterate all national divisions and barriers that have poisoned this earth, and to establish the kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world, where all people everywhere can live hand in hand.

~ Ambassadors for Peace are Heaven’s Secret Envoys ~

Respected Ambassadors for Peace, I believe you have learned many things through this message from God. You represent Heaven, and as long as humanity continues to drift aimlessly, it needs your help. Please take this opportunity to make a new determination to be Heaven’s envoys, prepared to uphold Heaven’s command. With this in mind, I would like to summarize today’s message so that we can all take up Heaven’s mission and inscribe it deep within our hearts.

What did I say we lost, by the Fall of Adam and Eve, who were created as God’s children? First, we lost the lineage given to us by God. Lineage is the most special, among all the gifts parents bequeath to their children. By the Fall, Adam and Eve inherited the false lineage of Satan, and descended to the status of his, (i.e. Satan's), children. We must understand with certainty that all human beings today, without exception, are descendants of the Fall, and have inherited the lineage of Satan.

When God created Adam and Eve, He invested His entire being, 100-percent. He created them, based on the standard of absolute love, absolute faith, and absolute obedience. He gave them His lineage as the seed for their love and life. Likewise, from this moment on, God is re-creating you as new people. The path is open wide for you to change your lineage, through the Holy-Wine Ceremony that the True Parents have instituted. The (UC-Marriage) Blessing is yours, either as newlywed couples or as already married couples, that you may establish true families.

Second, the Fall caused the loss of the realm of siblings’ love, when in the family of Adam, the older brother Cain killed his younger brother Abel. God’s original family structure was full of blessings, including love and harmony among siblings. The Fall degraded the sibling relationship to a rivalry filled with envy and resentment.

To solve this problem in the lineage, I am leading humanity, worldwide, to join in (God-centered), cross-cultural marriages. These marriages restore the original family structure, when those who are “Abel”, relatively closer to Heaven’s side, take on the subject-role and the position of the older brother.

Ladies and gentlemen, because I have spent my life discovering and disclosing these secrets of Satan, it was inevitable that I would face persecution. At times the suffering was so intense as to be utterly beyond words. Now, however, I am victorious over all obstacles. I can therefore declare the "era after the coming of heaven", the age when the power of Heaven becomes manifest.

On this foundation, I am building a worldwide Abel-realm that brings together religions and nations representing 78-percent of the current world-population. To create a corresponding, worldwide Cain-realm, I am bringing together all those born with the Mongolian birthmark, which includes some 74-percent of the world’s population.

Now these two, the worldwide Abel-realm and the worldwide Cain-realm, must become one and unite with the Universal Peace Federation, which has been initiated as the Abel sovereignty. To establish the kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world, we must transcend religious affiliation and nationality, and remove all national boundaries and other barriers. I would like to reiterate, that this is the only way humankind will be able to achieve the original ideal of creation. It is our destiny to fulfill this responsibility. By doing so, we will establish the original right of ownership, lost by the Fall of Adam and Eve.

As you form this new Abel-realm, please remember that you are now charged with digesting (winning over and transforming) the Cain-realm, throughout heaven and earth. By doing so, you will create the conditions to establish the new heaven and new earth, the kingdom of God on earth and in heaven, with God’s complete authority, (i.e. parental-love status).

~ A Project for Peace ~

Leaders from throughout the world, we are today marking the precious conclusion of the history of God’s providence. On this occasion, let me take the opportunity to repeat the proposal I have made for a truly providential and revolutionary project. This project is for the sake of the establishment of the kingdom of peace that is the purpose of the culmination of the providence for God and humankind, and also for the purpose of establishing God’s homeland and original hometown. From the historical point of view, the divisions of our world into East and West, North and South, were wrought by Satan. I am proposing that we build a passage for transit across the Bering Strait that separates the North American and Russian land-masses. This passage, which I call the “World-Peace-King Bridge-Tunnel”, will link an international-highway system that will allow people to travel on land, from Africa’s Cape of Good Hope to Santiago, Chile, and from London to New York, across the Bering Strait, connecting the world as a single community.

God is warning us that He will no longer tolerate separation and division. Carrying out this project will bind the world together as one village. It will tear down the man-made walls of race, culture, religion, and country, and establish the kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world that has been God’s cherished desire.

The United States and Russia can become as one. The European Union, China, India, Japan, Brazil, and all nations, and also the world’s religions, can combine their energies to make this project succeed. The success of this project will be decisive, in establishing the kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world, where people will no longer make war on each other.

Ladies and gentlemen, some may doubt that such a project can be completed. But where there is a will, there is always a way -- especially if it is the will of God.

The science and technology of the twenty-first century render it possible to construct a tunnel under the Bering Strait. The construction costs are also not a problem. Think of how much money the world is wasting on war. Humanity needs to realize that we are committing fearful sins, in the presence of history and our descendants.

Let us take one example. How much money has the United States spent on the war in Iraq, during the past three years? It is approaching $200 billion. That budget would be more than enough to complete the Bering Strait project.

In this age, war is the most primitive and destructive means of resolving conflict, and will never lead to lasting peace. Now is the time, as the prophet Isaiah taught, to beat our swords into ploughshares, and spears into pruning hooks. Humankind should end the perverse cycle of war, which only sacrifices the lives of our children and squanders enormous sums of money. The time has come for the countries of the world to pool their resources and advance toward the kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world desired by God, the Master of this great universe.

Ladies and gentlemen, humanity is traveling down a dead-end street. The only way to survive, is to practice my teaching: the peace philosophy of true love, true life, and true lineage. Now that we have entered the era after the coming of heaven, your good ancestors are activated and the heavenly hosts are sweeping down upon the earth. Soon the countries and peoples that appear strong and mighty will change course and shift in this direction.

~ Our Mission ~

I leave you with a choice. There can be no perfection in ignorance. The message from Heaven that I convey to you today is both a blessing and a warning to this generation. I will take the lead in establishing true families, true societies, true nations, and the true kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world. Will you join me as I rise and gain strength, in accordance with heavenly fortune? Or will you remain captive behind the same old walls, all of them Satan’s handiwork -- the wall of your religion, the wall of your culture, the wall of your nationality, and the wall of your race -- and spend the remainder of your time on earth in agony and regret? Heaven is summoning you to be the wise leaders who will set aright this world of evil and establish a new heaven and new earth, a new culture, and an ideal kingdom.

The Universal Peace Federation, which was born through the concerted efforts of those here, represents God’s victory, the fruit of the True Parents’ blood, sweat, and tears, and the cherished hope of all people. It will carry out the role of an “Abel-type” counterpart to the existing “Cain-type” United Nations, representing a new sovereignty of universal peace, which I call "Cheon Il Guk". Please bear in mind that you are given the heavenly mission to build God’s substantial homeland, the ideal world God envisioned at the time of the Creation.

Think of the peacekeeping work of the United Nations. Sometimes it withdrew its forces before the mission was completed. The Korean War was one such example. For this reason, on October 20th in the Ukraine, during the world tour of 120 nations, inaugurating the Universal Peace Federation, I declared before the world the establishment of the “peace-kingdom police-force” and the “peace-kingdom corps” for the welfare and future of humanity.

These two organizations will safeguard order and peace in the new world. Humanity is still ensnared in the traps of division and self-interest, which are remnants of the era before the coming of heaven. These two organizations will be the vanguard for educating humanity in true love, in the "era after the coming of heaven". The purpose of this education will be to create the true individual, true family, true nation, true world, and true universe.

I hope that you will put on new “true-love armor” in this new age, and be wise and brave activists in the universal-peace-kingdom corps, for the sake of humanity’s future.

Please inscribe this warning from Heaven deep in your hearts. Remember that the only way to inherit Heaven’s lineage and establish the realm of liberation and complete release, is through the Holy (UC)-Marriage Blessing, instituted by the True Parents. Furthermore, the Holy (UC)-Marriage Blessing provides the means to establish God’s ideal family and the kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world.

I ask you to devote your best efforts, as the True Parents have, for the development and success of the Universal Peace Federation, and toward creating God’s ideal family, ideal nation, and the peace kingdom. Please become true princes and princesses who can attend and live together with God, the eternal Peace King and True Parent of humanity. Let us fulfill the dutiful, family way (path) of devoted sons and daughters, patriots, saints, and members of the family of God, and create the eternal kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world.

May God’s blessings be with you, your families, and your nations.
Thank you.

PEACE MESSAGE 2

GOD’S MODEL IDEAL FAMILY AND NATION,
AND THE PEACE KINGDOM
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This speech was given by both Rev. Dr. Sun Myung Moon and Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon, during a series of assemblies for Ambassadors for Peace, Segye-Times investigative-reporters, and other leaders in Korean society, which took place in March 2006, and in the rallies for the "Return of the Homeland to God", held in 180 nations during the same year.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Distinguished world leaders, Ambassadors for Peace, and Blessed-(UC-married)-family members who have come from all parts of the world in the hope of realizing world peace and building the ideal hometown in heaven and on earth:
I would like to express my deepest gratitude to all of you for coming together, in the midst of your busy schedules, to take part in this rally -- to expand and elevate the "Family Party for Universal Peace and Unity" to a global level, so that it may be reborn as the "Cheon-Il-Guk House for Peace and Unification" -- to make the Universal Peace Federation a model, UN-type organization -- and to make "Cheon Il Guk" the kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world, through the concerted efforts of all the nations of the world.

As you may know, this year marks the eighty-seventh year since my birth. On this remarkable occasion, as the founder of the Universal Peace Federation, which is to open wide the era after the coming of heaven, I would like to convey to you the essence of the truth of Heaven, that I have taught throughout my life. This message is entitled, “God’s Model, Ideal Family and Nation, and the Peace Kingdom”.

Ladies and gentlemen, on looking back, my life has indeed been like a dream. At the young age of sixteen, with nothing but the buoyant spirit and aspirations of youth, I was called by Heaven and began to live for the will of God. This left no room in my heart for any worldly ambitions I may have cherished. It has never been an easy path, but I have followed it for more than eighty years, looking nowhere but straight ahead. This was the life I was fated to lead, with no choice but to shake off the embrace of my beloved parents, brothers, and sisters, who clung to me, wanting me to stay with them. They endured great self-sacrifice and walked a thorny path of sorrowful suffering for my sake.

It has been a journey through the wilderness that no one among the 6.5-billion people living on earth could ever comprehend. Even when I persevered through the hardships of prison life six times, I never let go of the key to the providence; such has been my life.

~ God’s Heartfelt Sorrow ~

This was all because I came to know only too well how anguished, aggrieved and full of bitter sorrow was the heart of God, as He waited for thousands of years to find us. I realized that if God, who is the origin of billions of people and the Creator of everything in the universe, was not relieved from His sorrow, human life would remain completely without value.

When, where, and how did God come to carry such agonizing sorrow in His heart? Who on earth could inflict this grief upon Him, the absolute and omnipotent Being?

God created Adam and Eve and established them as the first ancestors of humankind. He invested His whole being in raising them as His son and daughter, and they were connected to Him through love, life, and lineage. The parent-child relationship is the highest and most important of all relationships, and the only way through which His lineage can be bequeathed and made to last forever.

However, this parent-child relationship, more precious and important than life itself, was severed through the Fall of Adam and Eve. As God’s own flesh and blood, and as His eternal, only-begotten son and daughter, Adam and Eve formed a blood relationship with His enemy Satan, and became Satan’s children instead. In the face of this, God’s heart has been crushed and wounded with grief and sorrow throughout history. This still remains the most mortifying and harrowing anguish, which no one before in history could either know or resolve.

In this way, God’s ideal of creation to establish a true family in that first generation through Adam and Eve, a family through which He could eternally pass on His lineage, was frustrated. The only way to relieve His sorrow is to restore and establish a true family (that is) unrelated to the lineage of Satan. Herein lies the reason why all of us need to establish true families, which is God’s ideal of creation. Herein also lies the fundamental object and purpose of the founding of the Universal Peace Federation.

~ God’s Purpose for Creating Adam and Eve ~

Genesis 1:27, of the Old Testament tells us, “So God created man in His own image; male and female He created them”. From observing God’s creation, as expressed in this passage, we can conclude that God is a being who comprises the essence of one man and one woman. Having these attributes, God could not enjoy a solitary life. Therefore, He created the universe as His object partner. That is, He created all things in the universe in the position of object partners in image, and in the midst of this environment He created human beings as His object partners in substance.

In this manner, the first masculine representative, created by God as His object partner in substance, was Adam, and the feminine representative He created was Eve. God had an objective in mind when He created human beings as separate beings, one man and one woman.

First, God, who exists as an incorporeal being -- though He is the subject being with dual characteristics in harmony -- needed to assume a physical form through which He could relate with the entire world of substance, and not only the body of the man or the woman. Embodied within both Adam and Eve, He intended to communicate and work freely in relation to the entire universe, the world of substance. This is because the incorporeal God, without a physical body, meets certain limits in dealing with the corporeal world of substance.

Therefore, if Adam and Eve had attended God in their hearts and become one with Him, then married, on the basis of having perfected themselves, had children, and created a family, they would have become the external and horizontal True Parents in substance, while God would have been the internal and vertical True Parent in substance. If only this had come to pass, Adam and Eve would have resembled God one-hundred-percent, both in their inner nature and outer form. If Adam and Eve, as a perfect resemblance of God, had become the true parents of humankind, all people would have perceived the true reality of God manifesting through them in their daily lives.

Second, God created Adam and Eve for the fulfillment of love. He intended for Adam and Eve to reach perfection and become the embodiments of love in complete union. On that basis, He would have come and dwelt with them and become the Parent of true love for all humanity. Adam and Eve, standing in the position of the parents of substance, in the image of God, would have established an ideal family, and consequently an ideal world, through having their own children and multiplying. If this had come to be, the spirit world and the earthly world would have been linked through human beings. We can conclude that God created us with the purpose of our being the connecting point between the spiritual and physical worlds.

By coming to dwell in Adam and Eve, based on true love, God could remain as the True Parent, the parent in substance, of humankind. Moreover, when the time came for them to end their lives on earth and pass on into the spirit world, even in that world He could take on the spirit bodies of Adam and Eve and manifest as the True Parent through their form. However, due to the Fall of Adam and Eve, God has not seen that ideal fulfilled.

God does not need money, knowledge, or power. Since He is the absolute, almighty Being, He does not need such things. Though modern science may be accomplishing spectacular advances, these are all part of the process of discovering new facts and truths, within the realm of God’s Creation. The vast expanse of this universe operates in accordance with laws, following an order that cannot be fathomed by human thought or science. In this sense, God is also the absolute scientist.

~ God’s Ideal of Creation ~

Then what would have been the ideal that God hoped to achieve through the creation of humankind? It was to fulfill the four-position foundation. The four-position foundation signifies Adam and Eve in a state of complete union with God. This makes it impossible for them to separate from the realm of God’s love, no matter how hard they may try. In other words, it refers to the foundation of a family, with God as its center, established when the husband and wife have achieved complete oneness, not only with each other, but also with God, and when they have become an ideal couple and given birth to ideal children. When the family four-position foundation is thus completed, that family becomes a family of the ideal-of-creation desired by God.

Generally speaking, a family is formed through the coming together, of husband and wife and of parents and children. At the center of that family group there must be God’s love. At this point, the husband represents heaven and the wife earth. Although they are two separate beings, when husband and wife have become one, horizontally speaking, their union symbolizes the unity of heaven and earth. Simply put, when husband and wife are in unity, based on God’s love, the way to bring unity in the universe opens up.

Ladies and gentlemen, God created the world to receive joy from it. Since even the absolute being, God, could not feel joy while alone, He needed a partner with whom He could share the giving and receiving of love. This is because joy cannot be learned all by oneself, but can only be experienced through a partner.

To put it in another way, God created this world in order to feel joy from seeing humankind and all things of the creation become one through His love, forming a harmonious and peaceful world of love. On such a basis, human beings were meant to form true, conjugal relationships, centering upon His love, and to establish families, tribes, peoples, nations, and a world, of true love. God created this world, to participate directly in this process and to feel joy from it.

We can see that human beings are absolutely essential to fulfill God’s ideal of love, and, in light of this, we can better understand the concept that absolute value is derived from an absolute partner.

God, as the Father, and humankind, as His children, were to form a vertical axis, and this was the purpose for the creation of human beings. If this axis had been connected perfectly, that is, if a relationship that united humankind and God as one through true love had been established, that relationship would have been an absolutely inseparable one, which no force in the universe could break apart. How could anyone who has been bound to the original love of God, and who has tasted that love, ever be separated from it?

With the coming of spring, honeybees wake up from their long slumber and get the taste for the fresh nectar of the blooming flowers. Try pulling the abdomen of one such honeybee while it is lost to all else but sucking on that nectar. You will see that it cannot tear itself from the nectar, even if its abdomen is pulled off. How about you? Once you really get to know the taste of God’s true love, you won’t get far from it before you come back and cling to it once again. This shows that the power of the vertical true-love that connects us to Him is greater than the power of life.

~ The Value of the Family ~

Ladies and gentlemen, the reason we miss the family we have left behind, is because at home there is love for one another. It is where the love of mother and father, the love of elder brothers and sisters and younger siblings, and the love of one’s spouse and children and close neighbors, are all deeply embedded. It is a place of mutual affection, where all the relationships and affinities are brought together through mutual love. This makes you want to cherish each and every member of your family. It is the yearning and desire of any wanderer who has left his family behind, to boldly re-appear before his family once again as a liberated being, and to embrace mountains, streams, and trees, love his relatives and countrymen, and sing songs of ecstasy. However, the situation of humankind, descended from the Fall, has been different: banished from their original, heavenly hometown, and destined to wander around in isolation and defeat, human beings are unable ever to go back, no matter how much they miss their family, for they have lost the root of the heart of their original homeland.

However, with the ushering in of the era of a new heaven and a new earth, human beings have been pulled out of the swamp that was sucking them down, and the way has been opened for them to return to their hometowns --hometowns that they could not forget even for a moment -- and meet with their true family. Could there ever be a day of greater blessing for humanity? The time of heavenly power and fortune has now come, making it possible for us to reestablish the original family that was lost, through the Fall of Adam and Eve.

~ A Family of Three Generations Living in Harmony ~

When seeking after the lost, original family, you should set out from the position of the perfected Adam, the position of the perfected Jesus, and the position representing the perfected Second-Coming of the Lord. God will dwell in such a family. That family would be one of three generations -- grandparents, parents and children -- living in harmony. Parents and children will serve and attend the grandparents, because they represent the family’s ancestors, its historical root.

The family sets the pattern for living together in harmony. The family, wherein parents and children love and respect each other, husband and wife are grounded in mutual trust and love, and brothers and sisters trust and rely on each other, and all live together as one, is the model, ideal family. This means that you need to establish a true family wherein the stem of true love emerges from the root of true love and bears the fruit of true love.

Such families contain the living root of history and the roots of the kingdom of heaven. In such families, the kingdom of heaven on earth takes root. They are the soil in which God’s everlasting kingship is firmly planted. The grandparents, parents, and children represent the roots of the past, present, and future, respectively. The root of the past represents the spirit world; the root of the present is the palace representing the world today; and the root of the future establishes the grandsons and granddaughters as princes and princesses. Through such a family, we erect the palace of peace, representing the harmony of the two worlds -- the spirit world and the physical
world.

In this manner, the three generations of grandparents, parents, and grandchildren should live together as one family, serving the eternally existent God. You should know (become aware) that to seek after and establish such a family of Cheon Il Guk -- God’s kingdom -- is the responsibility of tribal messiahs, the mission of the Ambassadors for Peace, and the desire of God. You should form families that God will miss and yearn to return to, after He has been away. You should raise families to which He can come freely as a parent visiting His children. This is what it means to live in service to God. To such a family, God becomes the subject of our conscience, acting vertically. Following that vertical subject, your mind stands in the position of the vertical subject of yourself, and brings your mind and body into unity. That is where parental love, conjugal love, children’s love, and siblings’ love -- in short, the four realms of love, or the four realms of heart -- are perfected. Only in such a family can the upper and lower, front and back, left and right, be connected as one and spherical motion ensue. This leads to God’s everlasting, model, ideal families and nations, and His peace kingdom.

~ The Purpose of Marriage ~

Ladies and gentlemen, why should we get married? It is to restore the position of an owner. A man or woman alone can only be one-half of the whole. That is how God created us. For that reason, He has interchanged the owners of the sexual organs, the love organs. The owner of the wife’s sexual organ is the husband, and the owner of the husband’s is the wife. Only when each is rooted in love for the other, can they stand in the position of the owner of their spouse. We marry to secure this position of the owner.

Then what are we trying to achieve by restoring the position of the owner? It is to fulfill and embody God’s love from that position. God is the subject of the three great loves. As the Owner of the universe, He is the teacher, owner, and parent of true love. This is the genuine “three-great-subjects” principle. All such teachings and truths are created based on the life of true, model families, and once they expand, the society, nation, world, and even heaven and earth can be transformed into the peace kingdom of the model, ideal family.

Distinguished leaders, you are now living in the most blessed and exalted time in history. I now proclaim the launch of the era of a new heaven and earth, an era after the coming of heaven, long-awaited and yearned for by billions of your ancestors in the spirit world, who have come and gone throughout history: this is the era of the kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world. Not only the four great religious founders, but also billions of good ancestors, have come down to earth at this point to guide you on the heavenly path. The age in which the fallen and corrupted world plays havoc on people’s lives, allowing those who are evil to live better than others, is passing away.

Reverend Moon, who received the seal of Heaven, has come as the True Parent of humanity and the King of Peace. I will be true to my promise to God.

I will bring to fruition the era of the kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world on this earth, without fail. Therefore, please bear in mind that all of you gathered here today are the central figures in establishing the kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world on this earth, in attendance to the king and queen of peace, the True Parents.

Under the banner of the “Abel-type UN”, let us sweep away the absurdities and the evil of this world, through true-love power. Let us become the proud “peace-kingdom police” and “peace-kingdom corps” of the Universal Peace Federation, and protect the Blessed (UC-married) families of the world. Let us fulfill our roles as the sentinels watching over this blessed land that is our planet.

I pray that the blessings and grace of God may be with all of you leaders, representing different areas of responsibility, whose presence has elevated this historic occasion.

I ask you to devote your best efforts, as True Parents have, toward the development and success of the Universal Peace Federation, and toward creating God’s ideal family, ideal nation, and the peace kingdom.

Please become true princes and princesses who can attend and live together with God, the eternal peace king, as the true parent of humanity. Let us each live up to the standard of a true, devoted child, a patriot, a saint, and a member of the family of the sons and daughters of God, in order to create the glorious kingdom of peace and prosperity.

May God’s blessings be with you, your families and your nations.
Thank you.

PEACE MESSAGE 3

THE TRUE OWNERS, IN ESTABLISHING THE
KINGDOM OF PEACE AND UNITY IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH - I
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This keynote address was given by Rev. Dr. Sun Myung Moon on April 10, 2006, during the Third Assembly of the Mongolian Peoples’ Federation for World Peace, in the Republic of Korea.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Leaders from all over the world who are working hard for the development of the Mongolian Peoples’ Federation and the Universal Peace Federation, which was launched as the “Abel-type” UN!

Hand in hand with heavenly fortune, a new spring has finally come to my homeland, on the Korean Peninsula. I would like to welcome you all to this meaningful event, on behalf of all the members of my (genetic) family. Thank you for attending despite your busy schedules. I hope you will fill your hearts with the new spring of heavenly fortune, and take these blessed words back with you to your nations.

Distinguished world leaders, this is the Third Assembly of the Mongolian Peoples’ Federation. After inaugurating the Universal Peace Federation in New York, on September 12, 2005, I went on to complete a global tour of 120 nations, in order to pass on my inaugural message. I proposed that the Universal Peace Federation, in the position of the “Abel UN”, be developed as a new international peace-organization, and that at the same time the United Nations, as a “Cain-type institution, should be reformed by having a Peace Council -- a legislative organization consisting of global religious-leaders of the same rank as members of the current UN-Security-Council -- established within it. I am referring to the founding of a Peace Council that will speak not for the interests of a particular nation, as the existing UN representatives do, but which will truly work for the welfare and peace of humanity from an interreligious and universal perspective.

The concept of the Universal Peace Federation, which was launched with such a grand purpose and objective, could not have emerged from the wisdom of one human being. It is the greatest, supreme blessing (that) Heaven has given to humanity, and is ushering in the new millennium. It is my hope that the Mongolian Peoples’ Federation, too, will fulfill its duty as a partner of the Universal Peace Federation in achieving its noble goals.

Toward that end, I would like to pass on to you today a revelation from God that is absolutely essential to all 6.5-billion people that make up the human race. I hope you will all be wise leaders who open your minds and listen to the voice of Heaven. I will impart to you this extensive message of Heaven under the title, “The True Owners in Establishing the Kingdom of Peace and Unity in Heaven and on Earth”.

Leaders from around the world: God, the Creator of all things under the sun, is the true parent of all humanity. He is not a parent in the parochial sense, existing only for a certain religion, a certain race, or the residents of a certain region. You may call Him by any name, be it Jehovah, Allah, or any other. What is important is that He certainly exists, lives as the true parent of all people, and is carrying on the great work of Creation. He governs everything in the universe, and He carries out His providence through history in accordance with the principles and laws of nature that He set up at the beginning of time.

~ The Spirit World Really Exists ~

Ladies and gentlemen, the human mind is more elevated than the human body, and the spirit is more elevated than the mind. God resides in a place more elevated than the spirit world, where our spirits are destined to pass on (go). Only when we have become completely one with God in true love are we complete. Such a perfected person might be a small individual, but would nevertheless represent all of history and all potential future relationships, and so could be said to possess infinite value. Once we are aware of our having such universal value, we realize that our lives should be led by, and carried out in service to, our minds.

That is why your conscience knows and remembers not only every action you have performed, but also every thought you have entertained. Your conscience is aware of these things before your own teachers, parents, or even God are. Hence, if you were to live in absolute obedience to the commands of your conscience, which is your teacher for eternity, you would be absolutely guaranteed to have eternal life. Such is the way of God’s creation.

Looking at the structure of a human being from another perspective, we can recognize that God created us as beings with dual characteristics. He created our physical bodies as miniatures of the corporeal, tangible world, and (He created) our spiritual bodies as representatives of and lords of the incorporeal world. Accordingly, we are to live for one hundred years or so in the physical world and, once the physical body ceases functioning, to pass on naturally and automatically into the incorporeal, spirit world. In this way, though it cannot be perceived by the eyes in our physical bodies, the spirit world is the automatic and inevitable extension of our lives on earth, (and is) humankind’s eternal, original homeland, created by God.

The spirit world does actually exist. It is not a world that has been fantasized or imagined into existence. We do not have the right of choice concerning it. It is not a world we can go to if we please, or refuse to go to if we would rather not. Just as God is eternal and unchanging, the spirit world created by Him is also eternal and unchanging. Just as we live in the physical world in our physical bodies and form all sorts of relationships with the existing world, even in the spirit world we are destined to continue living in our spiritual bodies, forming and maintaining close relationships with all phenomena of the spirit world.

~ The Relationship between the Spirit (Body) and the Physical Body ~

However, in the relationship between the spirit and the physical body of a human being, the spirit is the more important of the two. The physical body lasts for about one-hundred years before it ceases to function, but the spirit lasts eternally, transcending time and space. No matter how well you fare in the physical world, you are bound to die. Therefore, before you pass on to the next world, you should achieve harmony between your spirit and your physical body, by living your earthly life in such a way that you meet the standards of both the physical and spiritual worlds.

In other words, you have the responsibility to perfect your spirit within your physical body, on the basis of the finite life you live in the tangible, physical world. This does not mean, however, that the perfection of your spirit-self happens automatically. Only on the basis of your having achieved complete unity between your mind and body during your earthly life, by expressing true love through action, can your spirit self fully mature.

Ladies and gentlemen, in order for fruit to ripen and be put into storage in autumn, it must first pass through the growing process of spring and summer, and be provided with the nutrients supplied by nature and (with) the tender loving care of its owner. Fruit grown in an orchard by a lazy and ignorant farmer, will be afflicted with all kinds of diseases and be affected by foul weather. Eventually it will fall from the tree before it is ripe, or be classified as worm-infested. Though it will still be fruit, it will be different from other fruit since it will never be good enough to sell in the market.

Fruit that has fully matured on the tree will automatically go into the owner’s storehouse. Similarly, only when the spirit of a person has reached perfection during his life in the physical world, which can be likened to the tree, can it automatically enter the incorporeal spirit world of the kingdom of heaven. In other words, a person will enter the kingdom of God in heaven automatically only when he has qualified for and enjoyed the kingdom of heaven on earth by living as a fully mature person in his physical body.

While living on earth, your every action and movement is recorded on your spirit-self, without exception, with the public laws of heaven as the standard. Accordingly, you will enter the spirit world in the form of your spirit-self, which has recorded your life on earth with 100-percent accuracy. Your spirit will show plainly whether you have led a ripe life of goodness, or a wormy, rotten life of sinfulness.

What this means is that God will not judge you; you will be your own judge. If you are aware of this astonishing rule from Heaven, will you spend the remaining days of your life on earth in selfishness and immorality, succumbing to all the temptations of Satan, and in pursuit of nothing but pleasure? No, rather you will abstain from injuring and scarring your spirit, even at the risk of your earthly life. Please bear this truth in mind: Whether you are bound for heaven or for hell is determined by your thoughts, words, and deeds in each moment.

This does not imply, though, that the spirit leads its own life or that it can express true love through actions on its own. Your spirit-self grows, matures, and is finally perfected, only within your physical body, through an earthly lifetime of having actualized true love, bringing your mind and body into a smooth, unified relationship of give and take.

Nevertheless, undeniably, your outer-self and inner-self are in a constant relationship of conflict and struggle. How much longer will you allow this fighting to continue? -- Ten years? -- A hundred years? In contrast, there is undeniably a proper order for all forms of existence in the universe. This indicates that God did not create human beings in this state of conflicted disorder. You need to know that it is your duty and responsibility as a human being to dispel all temptations directed at your outer-self [your physical body], and achieve victory in life by following the way of your inner-self [your conscience]. Heavenly fortune will be with those who lead their lives in such a way. They will attain the perfection of their spirit selves.

~ The Limits of Heaven and Hell ~

Ladies and gentlemen, what kind of places are heaven and hell? What kinds of people enter heaven? If it really does exist, where would it be? Would it be outside the galaxy, on the other side of the sky? Or is it only a product of our imagination? These are questions that everyone will have pondered and asked at least once.

In brief, heaven is a world overflowing with God’s true love and established with true love as its axis. It is a world where true love is the external form, as well as the internal content of every environment. It is a world where true love is present at the beginning and end of life. It is a world full of people who were all born through true love, who live in the embrace of true love, and, following the track of true love, finally pass on into that next world, the spirit world.

Consequently, antagonism and jealousy cannot be found in that world, for it is a natural world where each person lives for the sake of the other. It is not a world governed by money, honor, or power. It is a world wherein the success of a person represents the success of the whole, the likes of a person represent the likes of the whole, and the joy of a person represents the joy of the whole.

Heaven is a world filled with the air of true love, where all breathe true love. It is a world where life throbs with love everywhere, all the time. It is a world whose constituent members are all connected to the true God through blood ties. It is a place where the whole world and all people are linked together in an inseparable relationship, like the cells in our bodies. It is a world that is governed only by true love, the love that is God’s essence. Accordingly, God also exists for true love.

~ A Life of True Love ~

You should lead a life that is completely devoted to true love. Your life should be one in which you love God more than did Adam, Eve, or Jesus. By thoroughly actualizing true love, you should perfectly unite your mind and body, and find and establish the realm of the relationships of true love. To put it another way, you should perfect a true family on earth, and the three generations -- of grandparents, parents, and children -- should live together in true love. Only then will you be eligible to enter heaven. What kind of love is true love? The essence of true love is found not in having others serve you. Rather, it is found when you give out to, serve, and live for the sake of, others. It is love that gives and forgets that it has given, and continues to give endlessly. It is love that gives with pleasure. It is the heart of pleasure. It is the love of a mother nursing her baby at her breast. It is love expressed through sacrifice as when, with pleasure, a child acts with filial piety toward his or her parents. It is a love just like that which God expressed when creating humankind, an act requiring absolute, unique, unchanging and eternal love that gives without conditions or expectations of receiving anything in return.

Ladies and gentlemen, true love brings about the spiritual order, peace, and happiness, that serve the common good. True love is love that determines the source, center, and owner, of the universe. True love is the root, and the symbol of the will and power of God. Therefore, when bound in true love, it is enough to be together eternally; for it is a love that can attract not only the universe, but even God. The value of true love lies in its power, which is strong enough to eradicate the walls of national, racial, and religious boundaries, created by fallen human descendants. That is why the absolute condition necessary to enter the kingdom of heaven, is a life that has been lived for the sake of others, that is, a life of true love.

Yet, look at the world we are currently living in. The people of the world are caught in the trap of extreme selfishness, clamoring for material gain. They have lost all sense of values and have fallen into the depths of self-gratification and degradation. The world is filled with alcoholics. As if drugs and free sex were not enough, there are even those who commit incest -- an act not even seen in the animal world -- and still live with their heads held high. This world has become one wherein beasts with human faces roam freely, even after violating women -- grandmothers, mothers, wives, and daughters. This world has become one wherein the swapping of spouses between couples is rampant. Such circumstances are without a doubt the pinnacle of the destruction of morality, and the very last of fallen acts. This world has become hell on earth, where the perfected world, embodying the ideal God envisaged at the Creation, cannot even be dreamed of.

~ The Results of the Fall ~

We have come to know that all these problems are rooted in the Fall of Adam and Eve, our first ancestors. Adam and Eve, who were at the perfection stage of the growth period, had a sexual relationship before their rightful time, due to the temptation of Satan. The Fall was therefore an illicit, sexual union of a man and woman. This is why, over thousands of years, people have continued to commit such indecent acts, traitorous acts that drive a sharp spike into the heart of God. They have been unable to escape from the realm of the fallen lineage.

Ladies and gentlemen, a man or woman alone can only be one-half of the whole. That is how God created us. For that reason, He has interchanged the owners of the sexual organs, the love organs. The owner of the wife’s sexual organ is the husband, and the owner of the husband’s is the wife. Only when each is rooted in true love, for the sake of the other, are they in the position of the owner of their spouse. In other words, irrespective of who they are, human beings can only become perfected individuals -- rather than one-half -- when they have secured the position of an owner, through marriage.

The human sexual-organ is sacred. It is the palace of life where the seed of life is sown, the palace of love where the flower of love is made to bloom, and the palace of lineage where the fruit of the lineage is given life. Through this absolute sexual-organ, the absolute lineage, absolute love, and absolute life are brought forth; and absolute harmony, absolute unity, absolute liberation, and absolute tranquility, are brought about.

For what reason, then, are we trying to restore the position of the owner of the sexual organ? It is in order to possess God’s love from that position. He is the subject of three great loves. As the owner of the universe, He is the true teacher, true owner, and true, loving parent. These form the basis for the true, “three-great-subjects” principle. All these teachings and truths are created through the life of a true, model family; and with its expansion, the society, nation, the world, and even the universe, will be transformed into the peace kingdom of the model, ideal family.

However, because of the Fall, the first Adam lost the original, true lineage and consequently failed to form the original couple and the original family. Adam, who should have become the true teacher, the true parent, and the true king, inherited the lineage of Satan and was degraded to the position of a false teacher, false parent, and false king.

When we come to think of it, the purpose for Jesus’ coming down to earth did not lie elsewhere; it was to reverse the effects of the Fall. If Jesus, who had come as the second Adam, had not lost his life on the cross, he would have restored the original lineage of God, unrelated to the Fall, and would have made up for the failure of the first Adam, established the true family as the Savior of humankind, and founded the original homeland for humankind on earth. This would have been the global kingdom, embodying the ideal of peace, the kingdom of heaven on earth. However, his disciples, the Jewish leaders and the leaders of the nation of Israel all failed to recognize the Christ, and their disbelief caused Jesus’ life to come to an end in such a wretched and tragic way.

Has anyone really known the grieving heart of Jesus, whose passing from the earth was so untimely, and who left no descendants? Though two-thousand years of Christian history have passed, has there been any Christian who truly understood Jesus’ sorrowful circumstances? Jesus departed this world suddenly, leaving few traces other than a promise to return. Though his physical body has long been buried and become dust, the will that God had tried to fulfill through him is finally in the process of being completed at this time, at the conclusion of history, through the True Parents who have received the seal of Heaven and appeared on earth.

However, the life of Reverend Moon, whose task it is to complete the mission of True Parents, has been one of sorrow, marked by inexpressible suffering and persecution. The third Adam, the True Parent, needs to indemnify and completely reverse all the failures of the first and second Adams. His task is to complete not only the mission of the Savior, Messiah, and Lord at his second coming, but also the missions of all those major figures from whom religions have sprung. With similarities to God’s creation of the universe, his life has constituted the great work of the re-creation of humanity, where not even the smallest error is permitted.

It has been a lonely course that cannot be fully comprehended by anyone. It has been a course that took him down thorny paths through the wilderness -- paths that he had to follow while utterly alone. Not even God could acknowledge him. Hovering many times between life and death, even vomiting blood, he has still had to rise again like a phoenix, to remain true to his promise to God.

Though he was innocent, Reverend Moon has had to endure unjust imprisonment six times: for working in the underground independence movement when he was studying in Japan in his early days -- for propagating the will of God in Pyongyang, which was under communist rule immediately after Korea’s independence; during the Syngman Rhee administration, after Korea had been reborn as a free nation -- and, furthermore, even in the United States, which proudly presents itself to the world as a model of democracy. Who on earth can understand the life of Reverend Moon? His has been a life of misery, which he has endured by biting his tongue, for the sake of comforting God, and for the salvation of the fallen people of the world, who are suffering in the realm of death. Even now, if one person were to look into my heart and speak a word of sympathy, I would burst into tears and they would flow like a great waterfall.

~ Heaven Begins from the Family ~

Ladies and gentlemen, the sinful era of restoration-through-indemnity, the era before the coming of heaven, has passed and the era of the constitutional government, ruled by heavenly law, is upon us. This is the era after the coming of heaven. You are now living in an era of grace in which, after receiving the (UC) Marriage Blessing from True Parents, completing the conversion of lineage, and leading a life that is vertically aligned with Heaven, such that no shadow is cast, you can automatically enter the kingdom of heaven. That is to say, if you establish a true family on earth and lead a heavenly life, once you die your life will be connected to the kingdom of God in heaven, and you will enjoy eternal life.

Therefore, in the framework of the family, you should serve God as the Father in the highest position. Every one of you should become His child, perfecting the parent-child relationship with Him through sharing your life with Him, connected by blood. In short, you should form a partnership of true love with God, and live together with Him.

Who would be the greatest grandfather of the universe? The first human ancestors, Adam and Eve, call God “Father”. Should their children call Him “Grandfather”? No, they too should call Him “Father”. Why is this so? From the viewpoint of God, the vertical center, all object partners of love are equal. His object partners, who are produced through the horizontal expansion and multiplication of His love, assume equal value, regardless of who they are, transcending time and space. Simply put, everyone has equal value in perfected love.

The kingdom of heaven must first be achieved on earth. What this means is that the kingdom of heaven being established in the corporeal world, is prerequisite to establishing the kingdom of heaven in the incorporeal world. Therefore, heaven is not a world found in outer space on the other side of the galaxy, nor is it the by-product of imagination, existing only in the human brain. It refers to the substantial kingdom of heaven on earth, which can only be created when you have led a life expressive of true love. When you leave the physical world on that foundation, you automatically enter the spiritual kingdom of heaven. This means that only when you have led a heavenly life on earth, can you lead such a life also in heaven.

Only the fruit that has fully ripened on the tree, is classified while in storage, as a product of the best quality. Herein lies the reason why your life should not be one that is bound for hell, like a fruit that is devoured by insects on a tree. You should never forget, that through your life on earth, you yourself determine whether you go to heaven or to hell.

~ The Value of the Family ~

Ladies and gentlemen, the reason why we miss the family we have left behind, is that at home there is love for one another. It is where the love of mother and father, the love of elder brothers and sisters and younger siblings, and the love of one’s spouse, children, and close neighbors are all deeply embedded. It is a place of mutual affection, where all relationships and affinities are brought together through mutual love. This makes you want to cherish each and every member of your family. It is the yearning and desire of any wanderer who has left his family behind, to reappear boldly before his family one day, as a liberated being, and to embrace mountains, streams, and trees, love his kith and kin, and sing songs of ecstasy.

However, the situation of humankind, descended from the Fall, has been different; banished from their hometown and destined to wander in isolation and defeat, human beings are unable to go back, no matter how much they miss their family, for they have lost the root of the heart of their original homeland.

However, with the ushering in of the era of a new heaven and a new earth, after the coming of heaven, human beings have been pulled out of the swamp that was sucking them down, and the way has been opened for them to return to their hometowns -- hometowns that they could not forget even for a moment -- and meet with their family. Could there ever be a day of greater blessing for humanity? The time of heavenly power and fortune has now come, a time to reestablish the original family that was lost through the Fall of Adam and Eve.

~ A Family of Three Generations Living in Harmony ~

When seeking after the lost, original family, you should set out from the position of the perfected Adam, the position of the perfected Jesus, and the position representing the perfected Lord at his second coming. God will dwell in such a family. That family would be one of three generations -- grandparents, parents and children -- living in harmony. In such a family you should serve and attend your grandfather as the historical root representing your ancestors.

The family sets the pattern, for all people to live together in harmony. The family where parents and children love and respect each other, where husband and wife are grounded in mutual trust and love, and brothers and sisters trust and rely on each other, and all live together as one, is the model and the ideal. This means that you need to establish a true family, wherein the stem of true love emerges from the root of true love and bears the fruit of true love.

Such families contain the living root of history and the roots of the kingdom of heaven. In such families, the kingdom of heaven on earth takes root. They are the soil in which God’s everlasting kingship is firmly planted. The grandparents, parents, and children represent the roots of the past, present, and future, respectively. The root of the past represents the spirit world; the root of the present is the palace representing the world today; and, the root of the future establishes the grandsons and granddaughters as princes and princesses, and erects the palace of peace representing the two worlds -- the spirit world and the physical world.

In such a manner, the three generations of grandparents, parents, and grandchildren should live together as one family, serving the eternally existent God. You should know that to seek after and establish such a family of Cheon Il Guk [God’s kingdom] is the responsibility of tribal messiahs, the mission of the Ambassadors for Peace, and the desire of God.

The movement to realize a society of mutual existence, prosperity, and benefit, by making humanity one great family, breaking down the walls in our hearts, and eliminating even the boundaries between nations, begins thus from one family. Therefore, we should bear in mind that to form and establish true families is our providential calling, advancing the establishment of the universal peace kingdom on earth.

You should form families that God will miss and yearn to return to, after He has been away. You should raise families to which He can come freely as the Parent visiting His children. That is what it means to live in service to God. In such a family, God becomes the subject partner of our conscience, acting vertically. Following that vertical subject-partner, your mind stands in the position of the vertical subject-partner of yourself, and brings your mind and body into unity. That is where parental love, conjugal love, children’s love (for parents), and siblings’ love (for each other) -- in short, the four realms of love or the four realms of heart -- are perfected. Only in such a family can the upper and lower, front and behind, left and right be connected as one, and spherical motion ensue. If the world were filled with such true families, that world would be one governed by the heavenly way (path) and heavenly laws, with no need for lawyers, prosecutors, or even judges. Ponder this for a moment. Who would be most fully aware of your good and bad deeds? It would be your grandparents, your parents, your spouse, and your children.

Is there anything that cannot be resolved within the family? When parents and children, husband and wife, and elder and younger siblings, (all) set an example of living for the sake of one another, how could they do anything unforgivable? What reason would they have, to commit crimes? A world governed by the heavenly way and the heavenly laws is a natural world, an unobstructed world of truth and pure reason, and a world of the settlement of noon, where no shadows are cast (where no dark secrets are possible).

Esteemed representatives of the Mongolian Peoples’ Federation, we should all return gratitude and glory to God and True Parents, for enlightening us about the incredible providential-age in which we are living. We should give praise and thanks for eternity, to True Parents, for opening the era after the coming of heaven, which is unprecedented in history and which will never be repeated in the future, and for bringing about the era of the settlement of the realm of true liberation and complete inner-freedom. Just as the sun rises with brilliant light in the eastern sky, heavenly fortune is now shining upon all people. The curtain of darkness that shrouded us for thousands and tens-of-thousands of years is lifting at last, as Heaven’s will is taking root in your hearts. This is a path of destiny you cannot avoid. Therefore, stand up with courage and shout out, “Whoever wants to die will live, and whoever wants to live will die!”.

Ladies and gentlemen, the mission of the Mongolian Peoples’ Federation has now become clear. Serving the Universal Peace Federation as the vertical Abel, and (serving) the religious realm and national realm of the world as the horizontal Abel, it should be in the position of Cain, and work as the central figure in establishing the global-kingdom of the peace-ideal. I hope you also will participate actively in the Bering-Strait Tunnel-Project, currently being promoted as a Universal-Peace-Federation construction-project. Through the completion of this project, humanity will become one great family, and the establishment of a war-free world of the peace-ideal, espousing the blessings of eternal peace, will come to be.

Please become true princes and princesses who can attend and live together with God, the eternal-peace-king, as the true parent of humanity. Let us develop the "Mongolian Peoples’ Federation" into the "Mongolian Shared-Lineage Federation", by receiving the (UC) Marriage Blessing of True Parents and perfecting the change of lineage. Please take to heart that this is the task assigned to you by God, and become the true owners in establishing the kingdom of peace and unity, in heaven and on earth.

May God’s grace be upon you, your families, and your nations.
Thank you.

PEACE MESSAGE 4

THE MISSION OF THE CLAN MESSIAH IN
THE REVOLUTIONARY ERA AFTER THE COMING OF HEAVEN
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This speech was given by Rev. Dr. Sun Myung Moon at the “Korean Clans Joint Rally to Save the Homeland for the Sake of Universal Peace”, on June 1, 2006, at the Marriott Hotel in Seoul, Korea.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Distinguished representative leaders of the clan associations, ladies and gentlemen:
Thank you for honoring us with your presence today. With the powerful proclamation of the new millennium still ringing in our ears, this day marks more than two years since the declaration of the opening of the revolutionary era, after the coming of heaven. This declaration instilled a promise of new hope for a new future in the hearts of the 6.5-billion people of the world. The dynamic period of the construction of God’s kingdom of "Cheon Il Guk", when a day feels like a thousand years and a thousand years feels like a day, is continuing.

As we usher in this precious and providentially significant time, I would like to take this opportunity to convey to you a special message from Heaven, regarding your mission, in light of God’s calling to Koreans, and as the leaders representing the Korean clan-associations. The topic of my speech today is, “The Mission of the Clan Messiah in the Revolutionary Era after the Coming of Heaven”.

~ The Hope of Humanity ~

Ladies and gentlemen, if there were a dream common to all people regardless of gender, age, time, or place, what would it be? Through all ages (history), human beings have yearned and waited for the realization of the ideal of world peace. However, the everlasting peace that brings joy to Heaven has never been achieved in history. This fact remains the basis of our historical sorrow and anguish.

What went wrong? What brought about the descent of humankind into ignorance of the ideal that God had for His creation? Perfection cannot be found in ignorance, even if one waits for ten-thousand years. Then how did human beings, created as the children of the omnipotent and omnipresent God, come to fall into such a state of ignorance? The first ancestors, Adam and Eve, followed the false parent, Satan, along the path of the Fall. Indeed, this is the first tragedy and the most mortifying and lamentable shame in human history. God cannot forsake humankind. Within His grand ideal of creation they were created to be His children and absolute counterparts in true love. Thus, He has endured the long years of history with a heart full of bitter pain, grief and anguish. God is the eternal True Parent of humanity who has had to persevere through a virtual imprisonment in the shadows of history. No one has known this reality.

~ The Limitations of the Quest-for-Peace
that Is Based on Human Effort Alone ~

Throughout history, humankind has continuously worked toward peace on the basis of human effort. The confrontation between democracy and communism is a prime example of this. The core difference between the two is the extent to which individual rights and freedoms are recognized and ensured. Communism and democracy are like children who lost their parents. The two divided into the positions of Cain and Abel respectively, and became entrapped in the fetters of fraternal conflict. Human beings, without exception, are the children of Satan, with each one born inheriting Satan’s lineage. Consider yourself for a moment. In every moment and every affair of daily life, good and evil are fighting within you to gain the upper hand. Isn’t that so? Peace movements always encountered limitations and failure throughout history because imperfect human beings carried them out. This is the reason the United Nations, launched with a splendid dream of realizing world peace, today has to confront its innate limitations and confess that it can no longer give hope to humanity. Simply put, the UN was launched during the era prior to the time in which Heaven can be directly involved with the unfolding of God’s providence in history.

Ladies and gentlemen, by virtue of Reverend Moon’s devotion to the path of heaven, throughout the more than eighty years of his life, a new world is emerging. On this victorious foundation, the revolutionary era after the coming of heaven has been proclaimed. We are now living in the age of heavenly fortune, an age in which all people can be liberated and delivered from the quagmire of sin. It is the era in which the world of freedom and happiness, the ideal world as originally intended at the time of creation, can be established.

There are several clear reasons why Heaven designated the person standing before you, Reverend Moon, as the True Parent of humankind, and thereby opened up a new era. First, it was on the foundation of my having successfully practiced living for the sake of others. That is, I applied the values of a life of true love, emerged triumphant, and offered that triumph to humanity. All human beings are born to live for the sake of others. However, because of the ignorance resulting from the Fall, people practice selfish individualism, which is the complete opposite. I have revealed this secret of Heaven and imparted this knowledge to humankind, for the first time in history. God is fully aware of the path my life has taken, through thick and thin.

Second, I have dedicated my life to overcoming all obstacles and laying a victorious foundation. Through the education provided by the actual practice of true love, I have fulfilled all conditions necessary for the recovery and establishment of a parent–child relationship, between God and humankind. I have opened the way for human beings, who became the children of Satan, the adulterer and enemy of love -- and who have lived as slaves of false love, false life, and false lineage -- to be reborn into the true lineage of God, the source of true love. In other words, I have opened wide the path, for people to reach full spiritual-maturity as individuals and to establish true families, true clans, true peoples, true nations, and a true world, by leading lives of true love.

~ What Human Beings Are to Inherit ~

Ladies and gentlemen, as we make our way in the world, we find that inevitably many connections and relationships influence our lives. Most of these connections come about as a result of the choices we make, in the context of the environment or conditions in which we find ourselves. These connections are human-based relationships that can be changed or erased, whenever we like, through human effort. On the other hand, heavenly relationships, bequeathed to us from the moment of birth by God, lie outside the realm of choice. These relationships are formed by connections of blood. Even though you may dislike your parents or siblings, for example, you cannot change them by choice, or vote them out of office. This is because they are connected to you through ties of blood. Once you are born into the family with the surname “Kim”, you have to live forever as part of the lineage of the Kim family. What is the reason humankind has yet to escape from the snare of sin? It is because people are born inheriting the false lineage of Satan from the outset. However, this is not an innate, principle-based blood-connection bestowed by Heaven in accordance with the providential will and purpose. Rather it is an acquired relationship that exists in violation of the (Divine) Principle. It was brought about by human error. In other words, though human beings have been reduced to the position of orphans who have lost their parents through the Fall, the fundamental relationship of parent and child, endowed by Heaven, remains intact. Human beings, through the Fall, have become ignorant beings who live in a vegetative state, unable to recognize their own Father, even though He is right there within and beside them.

Therefore, all human beings belong to the fallen lineage, regardless of who they may be, and they must without exception be born again through the conversion of lineage. This is the only way to be restored into the originally-intended blood relationship bequeathed to us by God.

~ The Value of the Cross-cultural, (UC)-Marriage Blessing ~

Furthermore, the best way to restore people to the position of the children of God through conversion of lineage, is through the cross-cultural, (UC)-Marriage Blessing. It is the greatest of moral acts, creating the Heavenly lineage on a whole new level, transcending the barriers of race, culture, nationality, and religion. It is an act that severs all links of enmity. It is the sacred rite of the change of lineage, through which all can be re-created through the True Parents, the King and Queen of Peace, the substantial manifestations of God, who enable Him to exercise His providence in the present world. Beloved representative leaders of the clan associations: ponder this question quietly in your hearts. Is there any other way to deliver this world from the war and conflict we see around us? Is there a way that would be more certain than by creating one global family, where there is no hatred between family members, through intercultural marriage between enemy clans, or, going even a step further, between enemy nations? As the representative leaders of clans representing hundreds-of-thousands, or even millions, you each stand in the position of a clan messiah. Your ancestors, going back tens and hundreds of generations, have been mobilized to watch your every move. Hence, your mission has now been made as plain as plain can be. First and foremost, you will need to make it known to every member of your clan, that the revolutionary era after the coming of heaven -- that is, the era for the establishment of Cheon Il Guk -- has now arrived. It means that you have the responsibility to educate them, about the providence God is carrying out on a worldwide level in this era, centering on True Parents.

You will need to teach them, without fail, that the intercultural, (UC)-Marriage Blessing is the ultimate means to establish a peaceful, ideal world here on earth, so that your families and clans can all join the holy ranks of those Blessed (UC-married) through the intercultural marriage.
Ladies and gentlemen, it is truly regrettable that you cannot sense with your own eyes, this precious, revolutionary era after the coming of heaven -- never before seen and never to be repeated. The reason for this is that you are relying only on your five physical senses. It is my heartfelt hope that you will open your five spiritual senses as quickly as possible, so that you may definitely perceive how the providence of Heaven is unfolding in this era. However, there is one thing you need to know for sure: this providential time, this era of heavenly fortune, which you have received without giving anything on your part, will not wait for you indefinitely. Now the time has come for you to unite into one as the representatives of the Korean clan-associations who have preserved the spirit of the Korean people and the pride of the "white-clad race". There is no time to waste. What does it matter whether your name is Kim or Pak? What reason is there for Gyeongsang Province and Jeolla Province not to unite in harmony? The pro-Seoul "Korean Residents’ Union" in Japan [Mindan] and the pro-Pyongyang "General Association of Korean Residents" in Japan, [Chochongryon] each have their roots in the same Korean Peninsula. How about South (Korea) and North Korea? Aren’t we all brothers and sisters, sharing a common lineage? At this time, we should bear in mind that we are the descendants of the "white-clad race", and the kinsfolk of a people called, selected, and anointed by God in this era. Our ultimate purpose is to find and establish "His kingdom and His righteousness", while serving God as the center. What country would be the kingdom? It refers to the kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world, similar in form to a true family with three generations living together in harmony, trusting, respecting, and supporting one another, and becoming one in love. In short, the kingdom is the one where God is sovereign.

Then what is meant by "His righteousness"? It signifies the heavenly way and heavenly rule. The command has been given to us on earth, to judge, with the heavenly authority (parental-love status) of true love, this evil world that suffers under scheming, treacherous regimes, and to establish the ideal, peaceful world of true love, a liberated, free world, based on justice and truth. After all, humanity is meant to become one family. The remarkable advances of modern science are contributing greatly to making this world one global village and family. The beautiful kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world, in which whites and blacks, and Orientals and Westerners,
come together in harmony as one great family, will be established on this earth.

~ The Advent of the Universal Peace Federation ~

During this time of transition, the Universal Peace Federation and the Mongolian Peoples’ Federation, that I have founded, will play important roles. The Universal Peace Federation will now stand in the Abel position to the existing UN. It will not be an arena of competition like that which exists between the member nations and departments of the UN. Instead, it will carry out a historic revolution for the peace and welfare of humanity on a pan-global and universal level.
Unlike the UN, which focuses on superficial matters and slogans, the Universal Peace Federation will fulfill the messianic mission, which is genuinely beneficial to humankind on a more fundamental and substantial level. With this purpose in mind, on October 20th last year, while in the Ukraine during my world speaking-tour, propagating the inaugural message of the Universal Peace Federation in 120 nations, I proclaimed before the world the inauguration of the global "peace kingdom police force" and the global "peace kingdom corps". These two organizations will play the same role as the red blood-cells and white blood-cells of our bodies. In all corners of the world they will protect the Blessed (UC-married) families who have made a new beginning by engrafting to the lineage of Heaven. They will also fulfill their duty as sentinels, defending, protecting, and cultivating this beautiful world, this Garden of Eden given to us by God for which we must be grateful.

~ The Mongolian Peoples’ Federation for World Peace ~

Ladies and gentlemen, the Mongolian race, making up 74-percent of the world’s population, is the largest racial group in the world. We should inspire all five-billion of them and generate a climate of true love on this planet. You and I were born on the Korean Peninsula, and we share the same cultural background. You should therefore become the peace ambassadors and special envoys of Heaven, passing on my teachings and educating others so they can establish exemplary families through true love, true life, and true lineage.

The Mongolian birthmark is not merely a physical mark of the Mongolian race. It is without doubt the mark given by Heaven long ago, to function as the sign by which True Parents would rouse and unite all humanity with the arrival of the revolutionary era after the coming of heaven. Furthermore, the Korean race, standing at the center of the Mongolian peoples, should be in the forefront of the 6.5-billion people of the world, fulfilling its mission of representing True Parents. You should join the proud ranks of the global "peace-kingdom police-force" and peace-kingdom corps", in obedience to the lofty aims of the Universal Peace Federation, for the sake of God and humanity. The more than 280 clans of Korea should become one, transcending the limits of their names and clans, and uniting proudly as a people chosen by God in this era. Please bear in mind that this is the God-given mission that you have been given as leaders representing the Korean clans and race. Please do not forget that the building of the ideal, peaceful world, which God envisaged at the time of the Creation, and that He desired when He created humankind, is now being realized right before your eyes. If this is not a miracle, then what is? All over the world, the couples Blessed (UC-married) in the intercultural marriages are putting down roots of the true love of Heaven. The new, heavenly lineage is bearing fruit. The day draws near when the beautiful earth will become the original Garden of Eden, where we will enjoy everlasting peace and happiness and where, for innumerable generations, our descendants will shout "Hallelujah for Cheon Il Guk!".

May the great blessings and the grace of God be with you, your clans, and the Korean people.
Thank you.

PEACE MESSAGE 5

CHEON IL GUK IS THE IDEAL,
HEAVENLY KINGDOM OF ETERNAL PEACE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This speech was delivered by Rev. Dr. Sun Myung Moon on the occasion of the Entrance Ceremony for Cheon Jeong Peace Palace and the Coronation of the King of Peace in Heaven and (on) Earth, on June 13, 2006, at the Peace Palace in Korea.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Highest leaders of all the nations of the world, honored guests of Heaven who have gathered from every corner of the earth to celebrate this treasured historic and providential day, and people of the spiritual and physical worlds who are being reborn as citizens of Cheon Il Guk:
In the name of all humanity in the spirit world and physical world, numbering more than 300-billion souls, I offer boundless gratitude and glory to God, the Creator of all things, the eternal True Parent of humankind and the great King of heaven and earth. I ask you to raise your voices high, in praise for the victory of the True Parents of Heaven and Earth, the King and Queen of Peace in Heaven and (on) Earth. They have personally completed the entire course of restoration-through-indemnity in order to save humankind, who, as descendants of the Fall, would otherwise be eternally destined to wander in evil and suffering, ever sliding down the path to hell. You stand today in the venue of a tremendous event in the history of God’s providence. This event is unprecedented and will never be repeated. It is the day when the King of Peace finally ascends in glory. Please recognize, that, although they may not be visible to you, thousands and tens-of-thousands of good ancestors of Blessed (UC-married) families have come here. They are above your head now, joining with you in celebration of this awesome moment. All nature is rejoicing, and heaven and earth resound with choruses of "Hallelujah!".

If you truly understood the infinite value of this day, you would not be able to sit still. You would go throughout the world singing hymns of joy and dancing in ecstasy.

~ The Coronation Ceremony for the Kingship of God ~

Do you know the significance of January 13, 2001? It was the day of the Coronation Ceremony for God’s Kingship. For countless years, Heaven had been waiting for that event in eager anticipation. It was the greatest and most exalted celebration humanity had ever witnessed. On that day, Reverend Moon, who had received the anointing as the True Parent of all humankind and traveled a path of indescribable suffering and pain until he gained the final victory, offered his entire foundation to Heaven.

For tens-of-thousands of years, God had endured an existence full of lamentation and grief, even as He conducted His providence with a parental heart. When that coronation ceremony was offered to Him, it marked the moment of His long-awaited liberation and inner freedom. On that providential day, we declared to all heaven and earth that we would attend God as the vertical True Parent and Great King of Heaven and Earth, that we would unfurl and raise high the banner of "Cheon Il Guk", and that the new sovereignty of Heaven had begun.

For the next three years, we, the True Parents, held firmly to the helm while the winds of heavenly fortune swirled around us like a typhoon. We dashed forward as though each day were worth a thousand years. Then, on the foundation of True Parents’ victory, we declared May 5, 2004 the day of "Ssang Hab Shib Seung". On that day, the True Parents brought to a close the era before the coming of heaven, with its long years of grief, and opened the era after the coming of heaven, the new age when we can build a new heaven and a new earth. This marked the beginning of a great and historic revolution, to return the earth to God as a substantial reality.

Beloved citizens of "Cheon Il Guk", today you are receiving amazing grace. You are participating in the coronation ceremony of the substantial King of Peace in Heaven and (on) Earth, and you are being registered as citizens of "Cheon Il Guk". Not only you, but also your ancestors by the tens-of-thousands will thank you throughout eternity for the grace they are receiving along with you today. The Bible says, "Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness". Today you are witnessing the miracle of miracles: the establishment of "Cheon Il Guk", the substantial sovereignty in the era after the coming of heaven. God truly works in mysterious ways. By the first day of the new millennium, God had already laid out the land for "Cheon Il Guk". Who could have imagined, though, that they would see the day when the King of Peace in Heaven and (on) Earth would ascend to his throne? You thought it was just a dream, but you are witnessing it in your lifetime.

~ The Path of the People of Cheon Il Guk ~

Citizens of the kingdom of heaven, this is a precious and blessed day of victory and glory. Now, as the King of Peace in Heaven and (on) Earth, I will declare, on this thirteenth day of June in the sixth year of Cheon Il Guk, the fundamental duties and mission that every citizen of Cheon Il Guk should understand and live by as they walk the way of Heaven.

First, as God is the vertical True Parent, and you are true children of God, you will establish the realm of three generations in your family, perfect the Four Great Realms of Heart, and attend God on the vertical axis for eternity.

Further, you will inscribe on your heart the need to uphold the King of Peace in Heaven and Earth, who is the horizontal True Parent, and to live with absolute obedience on the horizontal axis for eternity as a citizen of Cheon Il Guk. You will make living for the sake of others, which is the practice of true love, the standard for your life. You will establish a true family and raise true children who are sinless and pure, thus protecting God’s lineage and bequeathing it intact from generation to generation.

Second, no matter what the situation, you will live with your mind and body united as one. In my case as well, from the day I first determined to follow Heaven’s path, I resolved to keep this as my motto: "Before you desire to have dominion over the universe, you must first gain dominion over yourself".

God has given you a conscience as your guide in accomplishing this objective. Your conscience knows everything about you. It has complete knowledge of every action and step you take; it even knows your thoughts. Your conscience knows all these things about you before your teacher or pastor knows. It knows them before your parents know. It knows them even better than God knows. So if you place your conscience in God’s position over your life, and go the way of absolute obedience, of "high-noon settlement" whereby your life casts no shadows, it is certain that you will establish a realm of resonance between your mind and body, and perfect their harmonious unity.

~ World Peace through Cross-cultural (UC)-Marriage ~

Citizens of Cheon Il Guk, the unification of the spirit world has been completed. The issue now is the 6.5-billion people living on earth, in their physical bodies. They struggle in agony, in the midst of sin and suffering, yet they are your brothers and sisters. Your third mission is to educate them and bring them home as people of Cheon Il Guk. You should educate everyone to understand that all human beings, without exception, are descended from the Fall and must change their blood lineage through receiving the Holy (UC)-Marriage Blessing from the True Parents. You must continue the work of engrafting people onto the True Olive-Tree, by having them participate in the grace of intercultural marriage, until the day when all humankind, numbering more than 300-billion souls, is restored to God’s lineage.

Fourth, you are created to spend nine months in the womb, perhaps one hundred years on earth breathing air, and then all eternity in the spirit world. You should understand that, just as proper preparation in the womb is required for a healthy life after birth, you must devote your earthly life to preparing yourself for the next stage of life in the spirit world. Never forget, that all the time and everywhere, and no matter what you are doing, your ancestors in the spirit world are with you. Be ever mindful to live in harmony with the spirit world. Communicate in prayer with the heavenly world with sincerity and dedication, so that you may become perfected in your spirit-self while you are living on the earth.

Fifth, your talents and abilities are required for the management and governance of Cheon Il Guk. Therefore, cut away and cast off your mask of selfish individualism now. It is but a remnant of the era before the coming of heaven. In order to belong to Heaven, you must change ownership by participating in the "Ceremony of Returning Ownership", offering everything you own to God and then receiving it back from God.

In addition, all citizens of Cheon Il Guk will provide funds for the well being and peace of humanity, not by taxation but by voluntary contributions. They will demonstrate the model of offering the first three tenths of their income for public purposes. This cannot be an imposed tax; it has to be a gift that citizens offer willingly to Heaven with joyful hearts.

~ The Lifestyle of the Citizens of Cheon Il Guk ~

Sixth, beloved citizens of Cheon Il Guk, in the era after the coming of heaven, it is possible to recover the ideal world of creation that was lost as a result of the Fall. God created everything in the universe as our natural environment; these are absolutely needed for human prosperity. Human beings and nature are meant to share a realm of mutual resonance, with humans as the subject partners of love and nature as the object partner thriving under human management and beautified by human creativity. We can no longer tolerate actions that destroy nature and pollute the environment. As citizens of Cheon Il Guk, please have the wisdom to protect and love nature. Return to nature and enjoy a life of liberation and complete inner-freedom. To love nature is to love God and humanity. When human life resonates with nature, human character can blossom in perfection. The flowers of a true culture of heart, a true artistic world, will bloom. It will be the Garden of Eden, the original ideal where God, human beings and all creation live in complete harmony and express their original nature.

If you practice such true love in your daily life, how can God do anything but bestow great blessings upon you? You will live for all eternity in blessing and happiness.

Seventh, the era after the coming of heaven that God and True Parents have opened, is a time of dramatic change. As registered citizens of Cheon Il Guk, you have the mission to make this era blossom and bear fruit in blessing(s) and glory. Therefore, please become Heaven’s emissaries, fulfilling the dual missions of the "peace-kingdom police-force" and "peace-kingdom corps". Serve humanity under the banner of the Universal Peace Federation, which is working to establish the position of the "Abel-type United Nations". Worthy countrymen and women, if not you, then who, will nurture and protect the Blessed (UC-married) families and this blessed planet Earth that God has given us?

Please become true princes and princesses, who live in attendance to God as your vertical True Parent, for He is the Peace King of the multitudes. Let us build the everlasting peace kingdom by attending the King of Peace in Heaven and on Earth, and fulfill the way (path) of a true, devoted child, a patriot, a saint, and a member of the family of God’s sons and daughters.

Beloved people of Cheon Il Guk, I hope you will truly celebrate and enjoy this precious and holy day. Brush off all your cares and worries and celebrate this day in joy, while attending your Heavenly Father and True Parents, with all your heart. The sincerity and dedication expressed by each of you brings even more glory to this day. The beautiful mountains, streams, trees, and flowers here in the vicinity of Cheongpyeong Lake are showering their blessings upon you as you prepare to embark on your ambitious journeys. Your descendants, too, will take pride that you participated in this long-awaited day, and they will honor and praise you forever.

I pray that the abundant grace and blessings of God in heaven may be upon you and your families.

PEACE MESSAGE 6

ADDRESS AT THE GROUNDBREAKING CEREMONY OF THE
TIMES AEROSPACE INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This speech was given by Rev. Dr. Sun Myung Moon at the ground-breaking ceremony for the Times Aerospace Industrial Complex of the T.A. Korea, LLC, on June 10, 2006.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Respected Leaders in the Aviation Industry; Residents of Gimpo (Kimpo); Distinguished guests from at home and abroad; And, in particular, executives of the Sikorsky Company who have come from overseas to congratulate us on this day!

We are truly grateful to all of you for coming such a long distance, in spite of your busy schedules, to attend the groundbreaking ceremony of the Times Aerospace Industrial Complex of T.A. Korea, LLC.

Furthermore, we would like to express our gratitude once again to all of you, who have made it possible to hold today’s groundbreaking ceremony for the Times Aerospace Industrial Complex, situated halfway between Incheon International Airport and Gimpo (Kimpo) International Airport, opened more than half a century ago. It is our hope that it will develop into a state-of-the-art, aviation industrial-complex, both in concept and in reality, through its receiving approval as an industrial complex and its being designated as an enterprise drawing foreign investment. I have dedicated my entire life to teaching the path of living for the sake of others through the practice of true love. This is a basic principle that surely applies, not only to individuals, but to all levels of life -- from the family, to the society, and to the nation. Early on, I had the conviction that my homeland of Korea -- which at the time was suffering in poverty -- would become prosperous and, furthermore, that it would become a nation that could share what it had with the rest of the world -- that it should be able to contribute spiritually. Furthermore it would need a strong foundation of technical, engineering skill.

I therefore founded Tongil Heavy Industries Co. Ltd., some forty years ago. The company imported the most advanced automobile technology from German companies, and thus laid the foundation for the automobile technology of modern-day Korea. Pursuing world peace through efforts that reach beyond particular religions and nations, I have dared to initiate the large-scale project of connecting the regions of the world through the construction of a tunnel or bridge across the Bering Strait, between Russia and the United States. Through such an undertaking, I am doing my utmost to inspire all technology to contribute to the peace and welfare of humankind.

Now that I have concluded thirty-four years of work away from my homeland of Korea, and have returned to my country, I have decided to lay the foundation for aviation technology -- which, of all industrial technologies, requires the most precision. This is so that in the twenty-first century, Korea might become a leader in the machinery industry, and, in particular, contribute to the development of the aviation industry. Therefore, I have established T.A. Korea, LLC, and pursued technological cooperation from the Sikorsky Company, which prides itself on having the best helicopter technology in the world. Henceforth, T.A. Korea will focus on developing helicopters for the transportation of large groups of people, to meet public demand, while opening new horizons in the helicopter industry. We expect that this will not only revolutionize mass transportation in Korea but will also contribute to improving the quality of life in this country by raising the efficiency of the utilization of its territory. It is my hope that T.A. Korea will, through the foundation of the Tongil Group, extend to 180 nations across the world through the actualization of a campaign for the even distribution of technology that I have always advocated. This will play an important role in establishing Korea as an industrial power, and thereby contribute greatly to the nation’s development, and ultimately to the happiness of all people of the world.

Ladies and Gentlemen, my efforts for the sake of the welfare and peace of all humankind are even now being carried out in various fields.

After inaugurating the Universal Peace Federation in New York, on September 12th last year, I traveled to 120 nations of the world to pass on my inaugural message. I proposed that the Universal Peace Federation, in the position of the "Abel-type UN", should be developed as a new, international peace-organization. At the same time, the United Nations, as a Cain-type institution, should be reformed by the creation of a peace council, a legislative organization consisting of global religious leaders of the same rank as members of the current UN-Security-Council. I am referring to the founding of a Peace Council that will speak not for the interests of a particular nation, as the existing UN representatives do, but will truly work for the welfare and peace of humanity from an interreligious and universal perspective. I am undertaking this awesome project for the sake of peace and for the welfare of humankind. Therefore, people all over the world call me the King of Peace and the True Parent of humanity. T.A. Korea, LLC, will eventually become a big contributor to the fulfillment of this tremendous project.

I extend my gratitude to the government of Gyeong-gi Province and the town of Gimpo, and to the "Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Energy", and the "Ministry of Finance and Economy", and particularly to the "Ministry of Construction and Transportation". I would also like to express my deep appreciation for the support of the residents of Gimpo, and last, but not least, for the firm commitment of technological cooperation from the Sikorsky Company.
Thank you.

PEACE MESSAGE 7

GOD’S IDEAL FAMILY AND THE KINGDOM
OF THE PEACEFUL, IDEAL WORLD - II
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This message was delivered by Rev. Dr. Sun Myung Moon together with the three generations of his (genetic) family, in major cities worldwide, beginning with twelve cities in Korea on the occasion of the "Victorious Liberation Rallies for the Homeland of Universal Peace" and the "Return of Heaven and Earth to God", beginning August 31, 2006.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Respected Ambassadors for Peace, leaders from all walks of life, distinguished guests from home and abroad, and beloved Blessed (UC-married) families:
First of all, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all of you for your efforts to realize peace for all humanity, and especially for your support of the Universal Peace Federation. As you may know, after the coronation ceremonies at which I was acknowledged as the King of Peace, held both in a United States Senate Office Building and the Korean National Assembly in 2004, I founded the Universal Peace Federation in New York City on September 12, 2005. On the basis of those victories, on June 13 of this year we held the "Entrance Ceremony For The Cheon Jeong Peace Palace" and the "Coronation Ceremony Of The True Parents As The King And Queen Of Peace In Heaven And On Earth". These were each steps towards the establishment of the substantial kingdom of heaven on earth, "Cheon Il Guk".

Ladies and gentlemen,
immediately after the inauguration of the Universal Peace Federation, I embarked on a world speaking-tour that took me to 120 nations. My wife, Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon, inherited the victory of that first world-tour and went on successfully to complete a 180-nation tour, declaring God’s message in the capacity of the True Parents. Through this tour, which took her around the entire world, over the past six months, she and our sons worked together seamlessly, fulfilling the providence of mother-son cooperation. As a true parent accompanied by true children, she declared "The Word" and officiated together over the "World-Peace (UC-marriage)-Blessing-Ceremony". Through this, she restored and offered to Heaven the realm of the lineage and the realm of Cain-and-Abel unity, both of which had been lost by Eve, the mother of the first human family.

Ladies and gentlemen, August 20th of this year was the twenty-first anniversary of my release from Danbury prison in the United States, which was the last of six unjust incarcerations I have had to endure during my lifetime. My release on that day signified victory over imprisonment on the worldwide level and the attainment of the realm of liberation and complete inner-freedom. To commemorate that significant day, and to welcome and congratulate my wife on returning from her recently-completed world speaking-tour, I hosted a global-level peace-rally in Korea. More than thirty-thousand core leaders, representing 1.2-million Ambassadors for Peace, and leaders from 120 nations, gathered and strengthened their resolve to realize world peace.

Now, on the foundation of the success of that providential event, I am traveling to every corner of the world with three generations of (the) True Parents' (genetic) family, in the capacity of "The King Of Peace In Heaven And On Earth", in order to proclaim this message. It contains the secrets of Heaven, which God has sent down to humankind, in this era after the coming of heaven.

Distinguished leaders, can you sense the intense heart with which I am taking up this world tour? As I approach my eighty-eighth year, I do not know when or where I might collapse along the way. I have already put my life on the line, to embark on this world tour, and it may be that it will be my last. I am revealing the secrets of Heaven. These might be the last words that the True Parent, who has appeared with Heaven’s seal, leaves to humanity. I sincerely ask that you open your hearts and engrave these words of Heaven upon them. May you have the wisdom to uphold these words as the standard for your life, and pass them on to your family and clan, (to) your descendants, and (to) the people in your community.

Ladies and gentlemen, my speech for today again has the title "God’s Ideal Family and the Kingdom of the Peaceful, Ideal World", as it is a summary of the message from Heaven that I conveyed to the 6.5-billion people of the world during the past year. My purpose, is to remind you once again of your role and mission as seen from the viewpoint of God’s providence, and of the importance of the age in which you are living.

~ The Emergence of the Universal Peace Federation ~

Ladies and gentlemen, throughout history, people have continually worked for peace, based upon human effort alone. Consider the confrontation between democracy and communism. Outwardly, the difference between the two was the extent to which they recognized and ensured individual rights and freedoms. Yet, from the viewpoint of God’s providence, communism and democracy are like children who have lost their parents; the two divided into the positions of Cain and Abel, respectively, and became trapped in the shackles of fraternal conflict. Throughout history, peace movements inevitably reached their limits and ended in failure, because they were organized by imperfect human-beings. This is why the United Nations, although launched with the splendid dream of realizing world peace, today must admit its inherent limitations, and confess that it can no longer give hope to humanity. This is simply because the UN was launched during the era prior to the time when God could directly govern the unfolding of His providence in history. Now, however, it is entirely possible for the Universal Peace Federation to fulfill its mission to unite heaven and earth and form the kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world. This is because it represents God’s victory and the fruit of the True Parents’ blood, sweat, and tears. Therefore, the Universal Peace Federation is the world’s cherished hope. It will carry out the role of an "Abel-type" counterpart to the existing "Cain-type" United Nations, to renew the UN and provide the leadership for a new sovereignty of universal peace, known as "Cheon Il Guk". Therefore, please bear in mind that you, as leaders from throughout the world, are given the heavenly mission to build God’s substantial homeland, which is nothing less than the ideal that God envisioned at the time of Creation.

~ God’s Purpose of Creation ~

Respected leaders from around the world, what do you think is God’s ultimate purpose for creating human beings? Simply put, it is to experience joy, through relating with ideal families filled with true love. What does an ideal family look like? When God first created human beings, He made Adam representing all men, and Eve representing all women, with the intention that they become owners of true love. Then what was the quickest way for them to cultivate a character of true love? In a word, it was to secure a parent–child relationship with God, whereby they could live in attendance of God as their Father, and form a model family embodying God’s ideal of peace. They were to have followed the path of living as one family with God, experiencing eternal joy. God created Adam and Eve, and installed them as the first ancestors of humankind, to form the model family and realize the ideal of peace. He committed Himself absolutely to raising them as His son and daughter, to be joined with Him in true love, true life, and true lineage. Therefore, if Adam and Eve had achieved individual perfection in accordance with God’s will -- that is, if they had achieved the perfection of their character and then entered into conjugal relations with His (marriage)-Blessing -- they would have achieved complete oneness with Him. God would have dwelt within their union. Their children would also have been linked to this holy order of love, and enjoyed a direct relationship with God as their Parent. In other words, the marriage of the perfected Adam and Eve would have been God’s own marriage. God is forever God, but at the same time (but additionally), Adam and Eve were to have become His incarnations. They would have become God’s body, and God would have settled inside their minds and hearts. He would have become the True Parent of all people, in both the spiritual and physical worlds.

~ The Importance of Lineage ~

Do you know what has pained God’s heart most, causing Him the greatest grief during the long history since the Fall of Adam and Eve? God lost His lineage, and with that, God lost the basis of human brotherhood, and even His ownership over the creation. God’s lineage is more precious than life itself. Without it, the fruits of true life and true love never matured. They became, instead, the fruits of Satan, lacking any relationship with Heaven. From them descended the 6.5-billion people now populating the earth.

Ladies and gentlemen, lineage is more important than life and more precious than love. Life and love come together to create lineage. Lineage cannot be established if either life or love is missing. Therefore, among the three -- love, life, and lineage -- lineage is the fruit. God’s lineage contains the seed of true love. God’s lineage provides the context and environment for a true life. Hence, for us to become the ideal people envisioned by God, that is, people of ideal character, and to create ideal families, we first need to be linked to His lineage. To take it a step further, only when we are linked to God’s lineage is it possible to create God’s homeland, the ideal nation. Only when we are linked to God’s lineage is it possible to establish the kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world.

Please inscribe the importance of lineage in your hearts. I cannot emphasize this enough. This is because the parent-child relationship is the highest and most important of all relationships, and the lineal relationship between parent and child is the only way through which God’s lineage can be bequeathed and made to last forever. You must be clear on this point. However, it is false love, false life, and false lineage, that have infested the earth. God’s love, life, and lineage fell into the hands of the adulterer Satan, the enemy of love. Heaven and earth were suffocated and transformed into hell. The world became a wretched place, far from God’s presence. Yet, to this day, people live in ignorance of this. People are deluded into believing that the lineage of the enemy is the lifeline upon which the world depends. This is the wretched truth about humankind, who are descended from "The Fall". That is why we refer to this world as "hell on earth". God views humanity’s tragic situation with a heart full of pain.

Furthermore, when, due to the Fall, Satan gained control of the realm of lineage, he also usurped the right of the elder son and the right of ownership. God is like a father who worked and sweated his entire life to accumulate assets for his children, only to have a thief steal everything in one night. Who can comprehend the sorrowful, painful heart of God? God lost His lineage, lost His children, and was forced to hand over the ownership of the nations and world to Satan.

There is only one way to recover the realm of lineage, the right of the elder son, and the right of ownership. This is the path to win the natural subjugation (winning over) of Satan, to have Satan surrender voluntarily. What is the secret to accomplishing this? It is only possible through the power of (God-centered), true love, when we love our enemies more than we love our own children.

~ True Love ~

Then what is true love? Its essence is to give, to live for the sake of others and for the sake of the whole. True love gives, forgets that it has given, and continues to give without ceasing. True love gives joyfully. We find it in the joyful and loving heart of a mother who cradles her baby in her arms and nurses it at her breast. True love is sacrificial love, such as that of a devoted son who finds his greatest satisfaction through dedicating himself, with all of his body and mind, to helping his parents. When we are bound together in true love, we can be together forever, continually rejoicing in each other’s company. The power of attraction of true love brings all things in the universe to our feet; even God will come and dwell with us. Nothing can compare to the value of true love. It has the power to dissolve the barriers (that) fallen people have created, including national boundaries and the barriers of race and even religion. The main attributes of God’s true love, are that it is absolute, unique, unchanging, and eternal. Whoever practices true love will therefore live with God, share His happiness, and enjoy the right to participate as an equal in His work. Therefore, a life lived for the sake of others, a life of true love, is the absolute prerequisite for entering the kingdom of heaven.

~ The Kingdom of Heaven and the Family ~

Ladies and gentlemen, what kind of place is the kingdom of heaven (on earth)? In brief, the heavenly kingdom is a world overflowing with God’s true love. True love is its axis. True love is everywhere, in the outward expression as well as in the inward thought. Everyone’s life is filled with true love from beginning to end. In the kingdom of heaven (on earth), people are born through true love, live in the embrace of true love, and follow the track of true love, until the day they pass on into the next world, the spirit world. The kingdom of heaven (on earth) is a natural world where all people live for the sake of one another. Consequently, antagonism and jealousy cannot be found anywhere in that world. It is a world that is not governed by money, position (prestige), or power. There, the success of every person represents the success of the whole, the likes of every person represent the likes of the whole, and the joy of every person represents the joy of the whole. The kingdom of heaven (on earth) is a world filled with the air of true love, where everyone breathes true love. Its life throbs with love, everywhere and all the time. The citizens of that kingdom (on earth) are all linked together through their common membership in God’s lineage. There, the whole world and all its people are connected in an inseparable relationship, like the cells in our bodies. True love, the love that is God’s essence, is Heaven’s only governing power. Accordingly, God also exists for
true love.

Ladies and gentlemen, you should now devote yourselves to practicing a life of true love. Can you love God more than Adam or Eve did? Can you love God more than Jesus did? By thoroughly actualizing true love, you should bring your mind and body into perfect harmony. You should establish relationships of true love with everyone around you. To put it another way, you should perfect a true family, consisting of three generations -- of grandparents, parents, and children -- living together in true love. If you do this while you are on earth, you will be eligible to enter (the spirit-world) heaven (when you die).

~ A Family of Three Generations, Living in Harmony ~

When seeking after the lost ideal of the original family, there should be someone in the position of perfected Adam, someone in the position of Jesus, and someone in the position of the Lord at his Second Coming. From that starting point we can establish the family in which God will dwell. In that family, three generations -- grandparents, parents, and children -- will live in harmony. Parents and children should serve and attend the grandparents, because they represent the family’s ancestors, its historical root.

Ladies and gentlemen, the family sets the pattern for living together in harmony. The warm environment of oneness -- based on love and respect between parents and children -- mutual fidelity and love between husband and wife -- and trust and mutual reliance among siblings -- is the manifestation of the model, ideal family of peace. This means that you need to establish a true family wherein the stem of true love emerges from the root of true love, and bears the fruit of true love. Such families contain the living root of history and the roots of the kingdom of heaven (on earth). In such families, the kingdom of heaven on earth takes root. They are the soil in which God’s everlasting kingship is firmly planted. The grandparents, parents, and children, represent the roots of the past, present, and future, respectively. The root of the past represents the spirit world, the root of the present is the palace representing the world today, and the root of the future establishes sons and daughters as princes and princesses. By establishing such families, we are erecting the palace of peace representing the harmony of the two worlds -- the spirit world and the physical world. In this manner, the three generations of grandparents, parents, and children, should live together as one family and serve the eternal God. God desires to see such families, and it is your responsibility as "tribal messiahs" and "Ambassadors for Peace", to seek after and establish them -- families of Cheon Il Guk, the kingdom of God.

Ladies and gentlemen, you should form families that God will miss, and yearn to return to, after He has been away. He should feel comfortable to visit your home, like any parent coming to visit his or her children. This is what it means to live in service to God. Within such a family, God is the vertical subject over your conscience, and your conscience is the vertical subject over your body. Thus, unity with God brings your mind and body into harmony. Family members who have established that vertical axis can perfect the four realms of love and heart: parental love, conjugal love, children’s love (for their parents), and siblings’ love (for each other). That family links all directions: above and below, front and rear, right and left. They revolve around each other in everlasting, spherical motion. This is God’s everlasting, model, ideal family, which expands to ideal, model nations and His peace kingdom. If only the entire world were filled with such true families! It would be an orderly world where people (would) govern themselves by the heavenly way (path) and heavenly laws, with no need for lawyers, prosecutors or even judges.

~ The International and Cross-cultural Marriage Blessing ~

Distinguished ladies and gentlemen, our bondage to the lineage of Satan has caused so much suffering throughout history. Let us now boldly step forward to sever it and be grafted onto the root of the lineage of the True Parents. Why should we foolishly continue to live and die as wild olive-trees? A wild olive-tree, even if it lives a thousand years, will only continue producing the seeds of more wild olive-trees. Where can we find the path to escape this vicious cycle? It is through the Holy (UC)-Marriage Blessing. The Holy (UC-marriage) Blessing Ceremony offers the grace of being grafted onto the true olive-tree. It was instituted by the True Parents, who bring God’s true lineage to humankind. Once you change your lineage to God’s lineage, your offspring will belong to God’s lineage naturally. The Holy (UC-marriage) Blessing is received in three stages: rebirth, resurrection and eternal life. Once you receive the True Parents’ Holy (UC-marriage) Blessing, you can give birth to pure, sinless offspring, and build an ideal family. The best way to do this is through a cross-cultural (UC)-Marriage Blessing. These marriages contribute to the enormous task of transcending the barriers of race, culture, nationality, ethnicity, and religion, and to creating one family of humankind. In God’s sight, skin color makes no difference. God does not recognize national borders. God does not stand behind the barriers of religion and culture. They are nothing more than the devil’s tricks. The devil has used them to rule over humanity as a false parent for tens-of-thousands of years. You have the mission to teach the members of your families and clans, that the cross-cultural (UC)-Marriage Blessing is the ultimate means to establish a peaceful, ideal world here on earth. Your families and clans should all join the holy ranks of those participating in the Holy (UC)-Marriage Blessing.
Ladies and gentlemen, the path is now open wide for you to change your lineage through the Holy-Wine Ceremony that the True Parents have instituted. The (UC-marriage) Blessing is yours, either as newlywed couples, or as already married couples, that you may establish true families. Indeed, I am speaking to the world, advocating that all humanity complete the change of lineage, through participating in (the) intercultural, (UC)-Marriage Blessing. These marriages also restore the original family-order, by enabling those who are "Abel" -- relatively closer to God’s side -- to take up a leader’s role and the position of the elder brother.

The cross-cultural (UC)-Marriage Blessing is by far the best way to restore human beings to become the children of God. It is the greatest of moral acts, because establishing people in God’s lineage raises them to a whole new level. It is the rite that severs all bonds of enmity. It is the most sacred rite, converting our lineage to God’s lineage, and re-creating us through the True Parents. They are the "King and Queen of Peace", the manifestations of God in substance who enable Him to carry out His providence in the present world.

~ True Parents’ Peace Movement ~

I have dedicated my entire life to teaching the path of living for the sake of others. This is the practice of true love. As a basic principle, it applies not only to individuals but to all levels -- from the family, to the society, and to the nation. In this light, I would like to reiterate the proposal I have made for a truly providential and revolutionary project for the sake of peace and human welfare, and the building of God’s homeland and original hometown. From the historical point of view, the divisions of our world into East and West, North and South, were wrought by Satan. I am proposing that we build a passage across the Bering Strait that separates the North American and Russian land-masses. This passage, which I call the "World-Peace King Bridge-Tunnel", will connect an international highway system that will allow people to travel on land, from Africa’s Cape of Good Hope to Santiago, Chile, and from London to New York, across the Bering Strait, connecting the world as a single community.

~ The Advent of the Kingdom of the Peaceful, Ideal World ~

Distinguished peace ambassadors and leaders from all fields of life, you are now living in the most blessed and exalted time in history. The era after the coming of heaven (on earth) has arrived! I proclaim the beginning of the new heaven and new earth, long-awaited and yearned for by billions of your ancestors in the spirit world, who have come and gone throughout history. This is the era of the kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world. The four great religious founders and billions of good ancestors have come down to earth, to guide you on the heavenly path. The age when the fallen and corrupt world wreaks havoc on humankind, allowing evil people to live better than others, is passing away. Our ultimate purpose is to find and establish the nation, that seeks to do the will of God and whose citizens all serve God as its center. What would that nation be? It would be the kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world. It would be a nation resembling the form of a true family, with three generations living together in harmony, trusting, respecting, and supporting one another and becoming one in love. In short, it is the nation humanity has desired throughout the ages, the Utopia where God is sovereign. This means we need a movement to realize a society of interdependence, mutual prosperity, and universally shared values. We must make humankind into one great family, by breaking down the walls in our hearts and eliminating even the boundaries between nations. This movement begins from each family. Therefore, we should all bear in mind that it is our providential calling to establish a true family. This is the way we can advance the establishment of the universal-peace-kingdom on earth. Indeed, all this is coming to pass. In the Middle East, one of the world’s tinderboxes, Jews, Christians, and Muslims have found the resources in my philosophy of peace, to engage in a new dimension of dialogue. In past decades my "Unification Thought" played a decisive role in ending the Cold War. Now I am successfully leading behind-the-scenes efforts to bring about the reunification of my homeland of Korea.

But I am not yet satisfied, because I began my life’s work at the command of Heaven. I have come as the True Parent of humankind, with God’s anointing, and I am determined to keep my promise to Him. I am determined to obliterate all national divisions and barriers that have poisoned this earth, and to establish the kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world, where all people everywhere can live hand in hand.

~ Our Mission ~

The era after the coming of heaven that God and True Parents have opened, is a time of dramatic change. You have the mission to make this era blossom and bear fruit, in blessing and glory. Therefore, please become Heaven’s emissaries, fulfilling the dual missions of the "peace-kingdom police-force" and "peace-kingdom corps". Serve humanity under the banner of the "Universal Peace Federation", which is working to take up the role of an "Abel-type United Nations". Worthy citizens of the world, if not you, then who will nurture and protect the Blessed (UC-married) families and this blessed planet Earth that God has given us?
Ladies and gentlemen, I have said that in the era after the coming of heaven we must recover the true lineage that was lost when Adam fell, by receiving the (UC)-Marriage Blessing through the True Parents. The providence of the (UC-marriage) Blessing should be perfected through five stages: the individual, the family, the tribe, the race, and the nation. In this way, let us fulfill our divine mission as Blessed (UC-married) families, in the era after the coming of heaven, by restoring and establishing the ideal three-generation family, on the world level. This is the same purpose for which Jesus came to the earth, and which he sought to accomplish before passing from this world. Therefore, I am now leading all tribal and national messiahs to unite and bring to a final end, the improper relationship between the political sphere, representing the Cain realm, and the religious sphere, representing the Abel realm. With this providential will in mind, I have declared that a second "Cheon Jeong Peace Palace", for the religious sphere, be established in Geneva, Switzerland, a city with a significant history, regarding the relationship between the religious and political spheres.
The Mongolian Peoples’ Federation, representing 74-percent of the world’s population, should bear in mind that the providential age is now upon us, in which it should fulfill its duties by restoring the world through the (UC-marriage) Blessing on the national level. This will bring to a close the conflict between Cain and Abel, which had its beginning within humanity’s first family.
Ladies and gentlemen, the providential time has now come when we have the mission to unite the two sons, Cain and Abel. It is by True Parents’ love that they can become one. Then, having recovered their original positions, they should dedicate the restored, original, ideal family before the True Parents, the "King And Queen Of Peace In Heaven And On Earth". Please take to heart and engrave this in your mind: You are living at a time when God gives you the mission -- through restoring the true, ideal family -- to offer before Heaven the realm of the siblings’ love and the right of ownership that were given over to Satan, through the Fall of our human ancestors. Please become true princes and princesses who live in attendance to God as your True Parent, for He is the "Peace King" of the multitudes. Let us build the everlasting peace-kingdom by attending the True Parents, who have become the "King And Queen Of Peace In Heaven And On Earth". Let us build the world of eternal liberation and freedom, where there is no need for a Savior, Messiah, or Lord at his Second Coming, and fulfill the path of a true, devoted child, a patriot, a saint, and a member of the family of God’s sons and daughters. In so doing, let us inherit True Parents’ victory, their completion of the Restoration-through-indemnity of the realm of three generations, that we may perfect the original world as it would have been, but for the Fall! Let us establish model, ideal families to bring the complete settlement of the universal, ideal realm of liberation and complete inner-freedom. This will be the kingdom of goodness, in which we can enjoy absolute, unique, unchanging, and eternal peace and prosperity. It will become the homeland of universal peace, exalted in praise for all eternity!

May God’s everlasting blessings be upon your family, your nation, and the world!
Thank you.

PEACE MESSAGE 8

THE TRUE OWNERS, IN ESTABLISHING
THE KINGDOM OF PEACE AND UNITY,
IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH - II
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This speech was given by Rev. Dr. Sun Myung Moon, at the Fifth Assembly of the Mongolian Peoples’ Federation for World Peace, on October 14, 2006, at Cheon Jeong Peace Palace, Korea.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Leaders from all over the world who are working hard for the development of the "Mongolian Peoples’ Federation for World Peace", and of the "Universal Peace Federation" that was established under Heaven’s providential call, and that is now living up to its position as the Abel-type UN!
As the Parent of Heaven, Earth, and Humankind, and together with all the members of the (genetic) True Family, I welcome you all personally to this meaningful event. Thank you for attending despite your busy schedules.

Ladies and gentlemen, this assembly has great and profound significance within the providence of God. This is the fifth world-assembly since the founding of the "Mongolian Peoples’ Federation for World Peace". It is also a world-level event to welcome Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon, who represents the True Family in its original form, and who has returned after successfully completing the third of three world-peace tours that have taken place since the Universal Peace Federation was founded one year ago.

~ The Victory of the Three Generations of the True Family ~

After inaugurating the Universal Peace Federation in New York, on September 12, 2005, my wife, Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon, and I went on to complete a global tour of 120 nations with the purpose of conveying my inaugural message. Carrying the baton on this foundation of True Parents’ victory, my wife undertook a second world tour this spring, during which she held rallies to proclaim a message of peace in 180 nations. It was a tremendous victory, in which two generations of the (genetic) True Family -- True Parents and (genetic) True Children -- worked together proclaiming this message of peace. This victory, in which the children of the Cain-type realm and Abel-type realm were brought together on a universal level and offered to True Parents, enabled the providential realm of ownership to be returned to God. On the basis of this victory, on June 13th of this year, heaven and earth were unified; God and the True Parents of Heaven, Earth, and Humankind, were firmly established in their rightful positions through the entrance ceremony into the "Cheon Jeong Peace Palace" and the coronation for the True Parents of Heaven, Earth, and Humankind, as the "King And
Queen Of Peace In Heaven And On Earth". These events constituted a tremendous victory, unprecedented in history. It was a day on which God, who had walked the course of the providence alone in bitter sorrow and in tears over countless years behind the scenes of history, could be liberated, set completely free, and firmly settled into His position as the "King And Master Of Heaven And Earth".

The victory of God and True Parents, who have entered the "Cheon Jeong Peace Palace", is linked to an outpouring of tremendous grace, through which the 6.5-billion people of the world can be returned to dwell within Heaven’s household. On August 31st, the True Parents, (genetic) True Children, and also the (genetic) True Grandchildren, were assembled for a third world-tour to convey God’s Word and the (UC-marriage) Blessing. This was a tour that I personally launched here in Korea. The three generations of the (genetic) True Family went to forty nations to bestow the (UC-marriage) Blessing. They have returned on this happy day, victorious in their long journey. This recent world-tour was all the more special, because it involved the active participation of three generations of the True Parents’ (genetic) family.

It was like the advance of the peace-kingdom corps of heaven and earth -- an army that was restoring a nation each day, with the truth and (UC-marriage) Blessing it was conveying. As the word and (UC-marriage) Blessing were proclaimed simultaneously each day, in twelve major cities of each nation, it brought the greatest joy to all humanity. The mobilization of the three generations of the (genetic) True Family is an event that will be recorded in history for eternity. It is something that no saint in history could ever have imagined, and it is a miracle that will be praised forevermore as a victorious liberation for Heaven.

In addition to all this, today is yet another day of historic victory, that I will never forget. It is the anniversary of the day when I was liberated by the United Nations forces and became a free man after spending two years and eight months in a North-Korean prison. I had been unjustly imprisoned for conveying Heaven’s message to the people living under the communists. They took over North Korea shortly after the independence and liberation of my country [in 1945]. October 14, 1950, was such a perilous time, and Heaven was compelled to create a miracle. It was on this day that I, the person with the seal of the True Parent of humankind, was to be publicly executed. There was no way that Heaven could ignore such an incident. I declare this day, which bears such great providential significance, to be a historical day of victory, through which I offer glory and respect to Heaven, and blessings and love to the earth as the True Parent of humankind under the protection of God.

Leaders from around world, please do not forget that we have the mission of elevating the Universal Peace Federation, now only one year old, to the position of the "Abel-type UN". Heaven is instructing us to develop the Universal Peace Federation as a new, international, peace-organization. At the same time (in addition), we are to reform the United Nations, which stands as a "Cain-type" institution, by establishing a peace council of the same rank as the current UN-Security-Council, and free from any satanic influence. This council would be a legislative body under the protection of God, and consisting of religious leaders from around the globe.

I am saying that we must establish a peace council that will speak not for the interests of one nation, as the existing UN representatives do, but which will truly work for the welfare and peace of humanity, from an interreligious and universal perspective. The concept of the Universal Peace Federation, which was launched according to God’s ideal purpose and goal of creation, could not have emerged from the wisdom of one human being. It is the greatest, the (most) supreme blessing Heaven has given to humanity, and is ushering in the new millennium. Thus, it is my hope that the Mongolian Peoples’ Federation, too, will fulfill its duty as a partner of the Universal Peace Federation, in achieving its noble goals bestowed by Heaven. Toward that end, I would like once again to impart to you today a revelation from God that is absolutely essential to all the 6.5-billion people of the world. It is entitled "The True Owners in Establishing the Kingdom of Peace and Unity in Heaven and on Earth". This is the message I gave at the third Assembly of the Mongolian Peoples’ Federation for World Peace. I hope you will all be wise leaders who open your minds to listen to the voice of Heaven. Leaders from around the world: God, the Creator of all things under the sun, is the true parent of all humanity. He is not a parent in the parochial sense, existing only for a certain religion or race, or (for) the residents of a certain region. You may call Him by any name, be it Jehovah, Allah, or any other. What is important is that He positively exists, lives as the true parent of all people, and is carrying on the great work of Creation. In accordance with the principles and the laws of nature that He set up at the beginning of time, He governs everything in the universe, and He has carried out His providence through(out) history.

~ The Spirit World Really Exists ~

Ladies and gentlemen, each person has a mind and body, and a spirit-self that is more elevated than the mind. God resides in the world in which we live with our physical bodies, and also in the spirit world, to which our spirits are destined to pass on (go). Therefore, only when we have become completely one with God, in true love, are we complete. Such a perfected person might be a small individual, but would represent all of history and all potential future relationships, and so could be said to possess infinite value. Once we are aware of our having such universal value, we realize that our lives should be led by, and carried out in, service to our minds.

That is why your conscience knows and perceives not only every action you have performed, but also every thought you have entertained. Your conscience is aware of these things before your own teachers, parents, or even God is. Hence, if you were to live in absolute obedience to the commands of your conscience, which is your teacher for eternity, you would be absolutely guaranteed to have eternal life. Such is the way of God’s creation. Looking at the structure of a human being from another perspective, we can recognize that God created us as beings with dual characteristics. He created our physical bodies as miniatures of the corporeal, tangible world and (He created) our spiritual bodies as representatives of, and lords of, the incorporeal world. Accordingly, a human being is intended to live for a hundred years or so, in the physical world, and, once the physical body ceases functioning, to pass on naturally and automatically into the incorporeal, spirit world. In this way, though it cannot be perceived by the eyes in our physical bodies, the spirit world is the automatic and inevitable extension of our lives on earth, (and is) humankind’s eternal, original homeland, created by God.

The spirit world does actually exist. It is not a world that has been fantasized or imagined into existence. We do not have the right of choice, concerning it. It is not a world we can go to if we please, or refuse to go to if we would rather not. Just as God is eternal and unchanging, the spirit world He created is also eternal and unchanging. We live in the physical world in our physical bodies, and form all sorts of relationships with the existing world. Similarly, in the spirit world we are destined to continue living in our spiritual bodies, forming and maintaining close relationships with all phenomena of the spirit world.

~The Relationship between the Spiritual and Physical Bodies ~

However, in the relationship between the spirit and the physical body of a human being, the spirit is the more important of the two. The physical body lasts for about one-hundred years before it ceases to function, but the spirit lasts eternally, transcending time and space. Isn’t even a person who does well in the physical world bound to die? Because this is so, before you pass on to the next world you should achieve harmony between your physical and spiritual bodies, by living your earthly life in such a way that you meet the standards of both the physical and spiritual worlds.

In other words, you have the responsibility to perfect your spirit within your physical body, on the basis of the finite life you live in the tangible, physical world. This does not mean, however, that the perfection of your spirit-self happens automatically. Only on the basis of your having achieved complete unity between your mind and body during your earthly life, by expressing true love through action, can your spirit-self fully mature.

Ladies and gentlemen, in order for fruit to ripen and be put into storage in autumn, it must first pass through the growing process of spring and summer, and be provided with the nutrients supplied by nature and (with) the tender loving care of its owner. Fruit grown in an orchard by a lazy and ignorant farmer, will be afflicted with all kinds of diseases and be affected by foul weather. Eventually it will fall from the tree before it is ripe, or be classified as worm-infested. Though it will still be fruit, it will be different from other fruit, since it will never be good enough to sell in the market.

Fruit that has fully matured on the tree will automatically go into the owner’s storehouse. Similarly, only when the spirit of a person has reached perfection during his life in the physical world, which can be likened to the tree, can it automatically enter the incorporeal spirit world of the kingdom of heaven. In other words, a person will enter the kingdom of God in heaven automatically, only when he has qualified for and enjoyed the kingdom of heaven on earth by living as a fully mature person in his physical body. While living on earth, your every action and movement is recorded on your spirit-self, without exception, with the public laws of heaven as the standard. Accordingly, you will enter the spirit world in the form of your spirit-self, which has recorded your life on earth with 100-percent accuracy. Your spirit will show plainly whether you have led a ripe life of goodness, or a wormy, rotten life of sinfulness. What this means is that God will not judge you; you will be your own judge. If you are aware of this astonishing rule from Heaven, will you spend the remaining days of your life on earth in selfishness and immorality, succumbing to all the temptations of Satan, and in pursuit of nothing but pleasure? No, rather you will abstain from injuring and scarring your spirit bodies, even at the risk of your earthly life. Please bear this truth in mind: whether you are bound for heaven or for hell is determined by your thoughts, words, and deeds in each moment. This does not imply, though, that the spirit leads its own life or that it can express true love
through actions on its own. Your spirit-self grows, matures, and is finally perfected, only within your physical body, through an earthly lifetime of having actualized true love, bringing your mind and body into a smooth relationship of give-and-take.

Nevertheless, undeniably, your outer-self and inner-self are in a constant relationship of conflict and struggle. How much longer will you allow this fighting to continue? -- Ten years? -- A hundred years? In contrast, there is undeniably a proper order for all forms of existence in the universe. This indicates that God did not create human beings in this state of antagonistic disorder. You need to know (become aware) that it is your duty and responsibility as a human being, to dispel all temptations directed at your outer self -- your physical body -- and achieve victory in life by following the way of your inner self -- your conscience. Heavenly fortune will be with those who lead their lives in such a way. They will attain the perfection of their spiritual-selves.

~ The Limits of Heaven and Hell ~

Ladies and gentlemen, what kind of places are heaven and hell? What kinds of people enter heaven? If it really does exist, where would it be? Would it be outside the galaxy, on the other side of the universe? Or is it only a product of our imagination? These are questions that everyone has pondered and asked at least once. In brief, heaven is a world overflowing with God’s true love, and established with true love as its axis. It is a world where true love is the external form, as well as the internal content, of every environment. It is a world where true love is present at the beginning and the end of our lives. It is a world filled with people who were all born through true love, who live in the embrace of true love, and who, following the track of true love, finally pass on into that next world, the spirit world. Consequently, antagonism and envy cannot be found in that world, for it is a natural world where each person lives for the sake of the other. It is not a world governed by money, honor (prestige), or power. It is a world wherein the success of a person represents the success of the whole, the likes of a person represent the likes of the whole, and the joy of a person represents the joy of the whole. Heaven is a world filled with the air of true love, where all breathe true love. It is a world where life throbs with love, at any place and at any time. It is a world whose constituent members are all connected to the true God, through blood ties. It is a place where the whole world and all people are linked together in an inseparable relationship, like the cells in our bodies. It is a world that is governed only by true love, the love that is God’s essence. Accordingly, God also exists for true love.

~ A Life of True Love ~

What love is true love? The essence of true love is not to have others serve you, but rather to give out to and serve others. It is a love that gives and forgets that it has given, and that continues to give endlessly. It is a love that gives with joy. It is the heart of joy. It is the love of a mother nursing her baby at her breast. It is love expressed through sacrifice, such as when, with joy, a child acts with filial piety toward his or her parents. It is a love just like that which God expressed when creating humankind, an act requiring absolute, unique, unchanging, and eternal love, that gives without any conditions or expectations of receiving anything in return.
Ladies and gentlemen, true love brings about the spiritual order, peace, and happiness that serve the common good. True love is love that determines the source, center, and owner, of the universe. True love is the root, and the symbol of the will and power of God. Therefore, when bound in true love, it is enough to be together eternally; for it is love that can attract not only the universe, but even God. The value of true love lies in its power, which is strong enough to eradicate the national, racial, and religious boundaries created by fallen, human descendants. That is why the absolute condition necessary to enter the kingdom of heaven, is a life that has been lived for the sake of others, that is, a life of true love. Yet, look at the world we are currently living in. The people of the world are caught in the trap of extreme selfishness, clamoring for material gain. They have lost all sense of values, and have fallen into the depths of self-gratification and degradation. The world is filled with alcoholics. As if drugs and free sex were not enough, there are even those who commit incest -- an act not even seen in the animal world -- and still live with their heads held high. This world has become one wherein beasts with human faces roam freely, even after violating women -- grandmothers, mothers, wives, and daughters. This world has become one wherein the swapping of spouses between couples is rampant. Such circumstances are without a doubt the pinnacle of the destruction of morality, and the very last of fallen acts. This world has become hell on earth, where the perfected world, embodying the ideal God envisaged at the Creation, cannot even be dreamed of.

~ The Results of the Fall ~

We have come to know that all these problems are rooted in the Fall of Adam and Eve, our first ancestors. Adam and Eve, who were at the perfection stage of the growth period, had a sexual relationship before their rightful time, due to the temptation of Satan. The Fall was therefore an illicit sexual-union of a man and woman. This is why, over thousands of years, people have continued to commit such indecent acts, treacherous acts that drive a sharp spike into the heart of God. They have been unable to escape from the realm of the fallen lineage.
Ladies and gentlemen, a man or woman alone can only be one-half of the whole. That is how God created us. For that reason, He has interchanged the owners of the sexual organs, the love organs. The owner of the wife’s sexual organ is the husband, and the owner of the husband’s is the wife. Only when each is rooted in true love for the sake of the other, are they in the position of the owner of their spouse. In other words, irrespective of who they are, human beings can only become complete individuals -- rather than one half -- when they have secured the position of an owner, through marriage. The human sexual-organ is sacred. It is the palace of life where the seed of life is sown, the palace of love where the flower of love is made to bloom, and the palace of lineage where the fruit of the lineage is given life. Through this absolute sexual-organ, the absolute lineage, absolute love, and absolute life are brought forth; and absolute harmony, absolute unity, absolute liberation and absolute tranquility are brought about. For what reason, then, are we trying to restore the position of the owner of the sexual organ? It is in order to possess God’s love from that position. He is the subject of three great loves. As the owner of the universe, He is the true teacher, true owner, and true, loving parent. These form the basis for the true, "three-great-subjects" principle. All these teachings and truths are created through the life of a true, model family; and with its expansion, the society, nation, the world, and even the universe will be transformed into the peace kingdom of the model, ideal family.
However, because of the Fall, the first Adam lost the original, true lineage, and consequently failed to form the original couple and the original family. Adam, who should have become the true teacher, the true parent, and the true king, inherited the lineage of Satan and was degraded to the position of a false teacher, false parent, and false king. When we come to think of it, the purpose for Jesus’ coming to earth did not lie elsewhere; it was to reverse the effects of the Fall. If Jesus, who came as the second Adam, had not lost his life on the cross, he would have restored the original lineage of God, unrelated to the Fall, and would have made up for the failure of the first Adam, established the true family as the Savior of humankind, and founded the original homeland for humankind on earth. This would have been the kingdom embodying the ideal of peace, the kingdom of heaven on earth. However, the
disciples, the Jewish leaders, and the leaders of the nation of Israel, all failed to recognize the Christ, and their disbelief caused Jesus’ life to come to an end in such a wretched and tragic way. Has anyone really known the grieving heart of Jesus, whose passing from the earth was so untimely, and who left no descendants? Though two-thousand years of Christian history have passed, has there been any Christian who truly understood Jesus’ sorrowful circumstances? Jesus departed this world suddenly, leaving few traces other than a promise to return. Though his physical body has long been buried and become dust, the will that God had tried to fulfill through him, is finally in the process of being completed at this time, at the conclusion of history, through the True Parents who have received the seal of Heaven and appeared on earth. However, the life of Reverend Moon, whose task it is to complete the mission of the True Parents, has been one of sorrow, marked by inexpressible suffering and persecution. The third Adam, the True Parent, needs to indemnify and completely reverse all the failures of the first and second Adams. His task is to complete not only the mission of the Savior, Messiah, and Lord at his Second Coming, but also the missions of all those major figures on whom religions are based. With similarities to the process of God’s creation of the universe, his life has constituted the great work of the re-creation of humanity, where not even the smallest error is permitted. It has been a lonely course that cannot be fully comprehended by anyone. It has been a course that took him down thorny paths through the wilderness -- paths that he had to follow while utterly alone. Not even God could acknowledge him. Hovering many times between life and death, even vomiting blood, he has still had to rise again like a phoenix, to remain true to his promise to God. Though he was innocent, Reverend Moon has had to endure unjust imprisonment six times:
for working in the underground, (Korean) independence-movement when he was studying in Japan in his early days -- for propagating the will of God in Pyongyang, which was under communist rule immediately after Korea’s independence -- during the Syngman Rhee administration after Korea had been reborn as a free nation -- and, furthermore, even in the United States, which proudly presents itself to the world as a model of democracy. Who on earth can understand the life of
Reverend Moon? His has been a life of misery; by biting his tongue he has endured for the sake of comforting God, and for the salvation of the fallen people of the world who are suffering in the realm of death. Even now, if one person were to look into my heart and speak a word of sympathy, I would burst into tears and my tears would flow like a waterfall.

~ Heaven Begins from the Family ~

Ladies and gentlemen, the sinful era of Restoration-through-indemnity, the era before the coming of heaven, has passed and the era of the constitutional government, ruled by heavenly law, is upon us. This is the era after the coming of heaven. You are now living in an era of grace in which, after receiving the (UC)-Marriage Blessing from True Parents, completing the conversion of lineage, and leading a life that is vertically aligned with Heaven, such that no
shadow is cast (no dark secrets exist in your life), you can automatically enter the kingdom of heaven. That is to say, if you establish a true family on earth and lead a heavenly life, once you die, your life will be connected to the kingdom of God in heaven, and you will enjoy eternal life. Therefore, within the framework of the family, you should serve God as your Father in the highest position. Every one of you should become His child, perfecting the parent-child relationship with Him through sharing your life with Him, connected by blood (lineage). In short, you should form a partnership of true love with God, and live together with Him. The kingdom of heaven must first be achieved on earth. What this means is that the kingdom of heaven being established in the physical world, is prerequisite to establishing the kingdom of heaven in the spirit world. Therefore, heaven is not a world found in outer space on the other side of the galaxy, nor is it the by-product of imagination, existing only in the human brain. It refers to the substantial kingdom of heaven on earth, which can only be created when you have led a life expressive of true love. When you leave the physical world on that foundation, you automatically enter the spiritual kingdom of heaven. This means that only when you have led a heavenly life on earth, can you lead such a life also in heaven. Only the fruit that has fully ripened on the tree can be classified as a product of the best quality. Herein lies the reason why your life should not be one that is bound for hell, like a fruit that is devoured by insects on a tree. You should never forget that, through your life on earth, you yourself determine whether you go to heaven or to hell.

~ A Family of Three Generations, Living in Harmony ~

Ladies and gentlemen, the family sets the pattern for living together in harmony. The warm environment of oneness -- based on love and respect between parents and children -- mutual fidelity and love between husband and wife, and trust and mutual reliance among siblings -- is the manifestation of the model, ideal family of peace. This means that you need to establish a true family, wherein the stem of true love emerges from the root of true love, and bears the fruit of true love. Such families contain the living root of history and the roots of the kingdom of heaven. In such families, the kingdom of heaven on earth takes root. They are the soil in which God’s everlasting kingship is firmly planted. The grandparents, parents, and children represent the roots of the past, present, and future, respectively. The root of the past represents the spirit world, the root of the present is the palace representing the world today, and the root of the future establishes the grandsons and granddaughters as princes and princesses, and erects the palace of peace representing the two worlds, (which are) the spirit world and the physical world. In such a manner, the three generations of grandparents, parents, and grandchildren, should live together as one family, serving the eternal God. You should know that to seek after and establish such a family of Cheon Il Guk, God’s kingdom, is the responsibility of tribal messiahs, the mission of the Ambassadors for Peace, and the desire of God. The movement to realize a society of mutual (co)-existence, prosperity, and benefit, by making humanity one great family, breaking down the walls in our hearts and eliminating even the boundaries between nations, thus begins from one family. Therefore, we should bear in mind that to form and establish true families, is our providential calling, advancing the establishment of the universal peace kingdom on earth. You should form families that God will miss and yearn to return to, after He has been away. You should raise families to which He can come freely, as the Parent visiting His children. That is what it means to live in service to God. In such a family, God becomes the subject partner of our conscience, acting vertically. Following that vertical subject-partner, your mind stands in the position of the vertical subject-partner of yourself, and brings your mind and body into unity. That is where parental love, conjugal love, children’s love, and siblings’ love -- in short, the four realms of love or the four realms of heart -- are perfected. Only in such a family can the upper and lower, front and back, left and right, be connected as one, and spherical motion ensue. If the world were filled with such true families, that world would be one governed by the heavenly way (path) and heavenly laws, with no need for lawyers, prosecutors or even judges. Ponder this for a moment. Who would be most fully aware of your good and bad deeds? It would be your grandparents, your parents, your spouse, and your children. Is there anything that cannot be resolved within the family? When parents and children, husband and wife, and elder and younger siblings, (all) set an example of living for the sake of one another, how could they do anything unforgivable? What reason would they have, to commit crimes? A world governed by the heavenly way and heavenly laws would be a natural world, an unobstructed world of truth and pure reason. It would be a world at the "high noon" of absolute values, where there are no dark shadows (no dark secrets kept). Esteemed representatives of the Mongolian Peoples’ Federation, we should all return gratitude and glory to God and True Parents, for enlightening us about the incredible, providential age in which we are living.

The mission of the Mongolian Peoples’ Federation has now become clear. Serving the Universal Peace Federation as the vertical Abel, and (serving) the religious realm and national realm of the world as the horizontal Abel, it should be in the position of Cain, and work as the central figure in establishing the global kingdom of the peace ideal.

You are now advancing into the era of liberation and complete inner-freedom, which is the providential era of the realm of the heart of the fourth Adam. In other words, it is the era after the coming of heaven. This is the time when, metaphorically speaking, the sun is directly overhead, so that no shadow is cast (no dark secrets can be kept). This signifies that we have passed through the era before the coming of heaven, which included the Old, New, and Completed-Testament ages. These eras have required immeasurable restitution and atonement, in order to re-create the ideal.

The present time, however, corresponds to the era, prior to Adam’s Fall, of building the original, ideal world. It refers to the era of true love that is all-encompassing, all-powerful, and has overall authority (parental-love status). It is the realm of heart in which the spirit world and the physical world are bound together as a unified realm, centering on the True Parents, the King and Queen of Peace. In other words, it is the era of the kingdom of peace and unity, in heaven and on earth.

Please become true princes and princesses, who can attend and live together with God, the eternal peace-king and true parent of humanity. Let us develop the Mongolian Peoples’ Federation, and establish the "Mongolian Shared-Lineage Federation", by receiving the (UC)-Marriage Blessing of the True Parents, and completing the conversion of our lineage. Please take to heart that this is the task God has assigned to you, and become the true owners in establishing the kingdom of peace and unity, in heaven and on earth.

May God’s grace be upon you, your family, and your nation.
Thank you.

PEACE MESSAGE 9

GOD’S IDEAL FAMILY AND THE KINGDOM OF
THE PEACEFUL, IDEAL WORLD - III
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This speech was delivered on behalf of Rev. Dr. Sun Myung Moon in 14,400 cities, throughout 120 nations, from October 22nd to December 20, 2006, during the "120 Ambassadors for Peace Speaking Tour for World Peace".
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Respected Ambassadors for Peace, leaders from all walks of life, distinguished guests from home and abroad, and beloved, Blessed (UC-married) families:
First of all, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all of you, for your efforts to realize peace for all humanity, and especially for your support of the Universal Peace Federation. As you may know, after the coronation ceremonies, at which I was acknowledged as the King of Peace, held both in a United-States-Senate office-building and at the Korean National Assembly in 2004, I founded the Universal Peace Federation in New York City on September 12, 2005. On the foundation of those victories, on June 13th of this year, we held the "Entrance Ceremony of the Cheon Jeong Peace Palace" and the "Coronation Ceremony of the True Parents as the King and Queen of Peace in Heaven and on Earth". These were each steps towards the establishment of the substantial kingdom of heaven on earth, which in Korean, I call "Cheon Il Guk". Ladies and gentlemen, immediately after the inauguration of the Universal Peace Federation, I embarked on a world speaking-tour that took me to 120 nations. My wife, Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon, inherited the victory of that first world-tour and went on successfully to complete a 180-nation tour, declaring God’s message in the capacity of the True Parents. Through this tour, which took her around the entire world over the past six months, she and our sons worked together seamlessly, fulfilling the providence of mother-son cooperation. She, as a true parent, accompanied by (genetic) true children, declared "The Word" and officiated together with them over the "World-Peace (UC)-Blessing-Ceremony". Through this, she restored and offered to Heaven the realm of the lineage and the realm of Cain-and-Abel unity, both of which had been lost by Eve, the mother of the first human family.

Ladies and gentlemen, August 20th of this year was the twenty-first anniversary of my release from Danbury prison in the United States, which was the last of six unjust incarcerations I have had to endure during my lifetime. My release on that day signified victory over imprisonment on the worldwide level, and the attainment of the realm of liberation and complete inner-freedom. To commemorate that significant day, and to welcome and congratulate my wife on returning from her just-completed world speaking tour, I hosted a global-level peace-rally in Korea. More than thirty-thousand core leaders, representing 1.2-million Ambassadors for Peace and leaders in 120 nations, gathered and strengthened their resolve to realize world peace.

Now, on the foundation of the success of that providential event, I am traveling to every corner of the world with three generations of (the) True Parents' (genetic) family, in the capacity of the "King of Peace in Heaven and on Earth", to proclaim this message. It contains the secrets of Heaven, which God has sent down to humankind, in this era after the coming of heaven.

Distinguished leaders, can you sense the intense heart with which I am taking up this world tour? As I approach my eighty-eighth year, I do not know when or where I might collapse along the way. I have already put my life on the line, to embark on this world tour, and it may be that it will be my last. I am revealing the secrets of Heaven. These might be the last words that the True Parent, who appeared with Heaven’s seal, leaves to humanity. I sincerely ask that you open your hearts and engrave these words of Heaven upon them. May you have the wisdom to uphold these words as the standard for your life, and pass them on to your family and clan, your descendants, and (to) the people in your community. Ladies and gentlemen, my speech for today again has the title "God’s Ideal Family and the Kingdom of the Peaceful, Ideal World", as it is a summary of the message from Heaven that I conveyed to the 6.5-billion people of the world during the past year. It is to remind you once again of your role and mission, as seen from the viewpoint of God’s providence, and of the importance of the time in which you are living.

~ The Emergence of the Universal Peace Federation ~

Ladies and gentlemen, throughout history, people have worked continuously for peace, based upon human effort alone. Consider the confrontation between democracy and communism. Outwardly, the difference between the two was the extent to which they recognized and insured individual rights and freedoms. Yet, from the viewpoint of God’s providence, communism and democracy were like children who had lost their parents; the two divided into the positions of Cain and Abel respectively, and became trapped in the shackles of fraternal conflict. Throughout history, peace movements inevitably reached their limit and ended in failure because imperfect human beings carried them out. This is why the United Nations, although launched with the splendid dream of realizing world peace, today has to admit its inherent limitations, and confess that it can no longer give hope to humanity. This is simply because the UN was launched during the era prior to the time when God could directly govern the unfolding of His providence in history. Now, however, it is entirely possible for the Universal Peace Federation to fulfill its mission to unite heaven and earth, and (to) form the kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world. That is because it represents God’s victory and the fruit of the True Parents’ blood, sweat, and tears. Therefore, the Universal Peace Federation is the world’s cherished hope. It will carry out the role of an "Abel-type" counterpart to the existing "Cain-type" United Nations, and renew the UN, providing leadership for a new sovereignty of universal peace, which I call "Cheon Il Guk". Therefore, please bear in mind that you leaders from around the world are being given the heavenly mission to build God’s substantial homeland, the ideal world of God’s creation.

~ God’s Purpose of Creation ~

Respected leaders from around the world, what do you think is God’s ultimate purpose, for creating human beings? Simply put, it is to experience joy through relating with ideal families filled with true love. What does an ideal family look like? When God first created human beings, He made Adam representing all men and Eve representing all women, with the intention that they become owners of true love. Then what was the quickest way for them to cultivate a character of true love? Simply put, it was to secure a parent-child relationship with God, whereby they could live in attendance to God as their Father, and form a model family embodying God’s ideal of peace. They were to have followed the path of living as one family with God, experiencing joy eternally. God created Adam and Eve and established them as the first ancestors of humankind, to form the model family and establish the ideal of peace. He committed Himself completely to raising them as His son and daughter, joined with Him through true love, true life, and true lineage. Therefore, if Adam and Eve had achieved individual perfection in accordance with God’s will -- that is, if they had achieved the perfection of their character and entered into conjugal relations through His (marriage)Blessing -- they would have attained complete oneness with Him. God would have dwelt within their union. Their children would also have been linked to this holy order of love, and (would have) enjoyed a direct relationship with God as their Parent. In other words, the marriage of the perfected Adam and Eve would have been God’s own marriage. While God is forever God, Adam and Eve were, (in addition), meant to become His incarnations. Adam and Eve would have become God’s body, and God would have settled inside their minds and hearts, to become the True Parent of humankind in both the spiritual and physical worlds.

~ The Importance of Lineage ~

Do you know what has pained God’s heart most, causing Him the greatest grief over the long history since the Fall of Adam and Eve? God lost His lineage, and with that, God lost the basis of human brotherhood and even His ownership over the creation. God’s lineage is more precious than life itself. Without it, the fruits of true life and true love never matured. They became instead the fruits of Satan, lacking any relationship with Heaven. From them descended the 6.5-billion people now populating the earth. Ladies and gentlemen, lineage is more important than life and more precious than love. Life and love come together to create lineage. Lineage cannot be established if either life or love is missing. Therefore, among the three -- love, life, and lineage -- lineage is the fruit. God’s lineage contains the seed of true love. God’s lineage provides the context and environment for a true life.

Hence, for us to become the ideal people envisioned by God, that is, people of ideal character, and to create ideal families, we first need to be linked to His lineage. To take it a step further, only when we are linked to God’s lineage, is it possible to create God’s homeland, the ideal nation. Only when we are linked to God’s lineage, is it possible to establish the kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world.

Please inscribe the importance of lineage in your hearts. I cannot emphasize this enough. This is because the parent-child relationship is the highest and most important of all relationships, and the lineal relationship between parent and child is the only way through which God’s lineage can be bequeathed and made to last forever. You must be clear on this point. However, it is false love, false life, and false lineage that have infested the earth. God’s love, life, and lineage fell into the hands of the adulterer Satan, the enemy of love. Heaven and earth have been suffocated and transformed into hell. The world became a wretched place, far from God’s presence. Yet humanity to this day lives in ignorance of this. People are deluded into believing that the lineage of the enemy is the lifeline upon which the world depends. This is the wretched truth about humankind descended from the Fall. That is why we refer to this world as "hell on earth". God views humanity’s tragic situation with a heart full of pain.

Furthermore, when, due to the Fall, Satan gained control of the realm of lineage, he also usurped the right of the elder son and the right of ownership. God is like a father who worked and sweated his entire life to accumulate assets for his children, only to have a thief steal everything in one night. Who can comprehend the sorrowful, painful heart of God? God lost His lineage, lost His children, and was forced to hand over the ownership of the nations and world, to Satan. However, the life of Reverend Moon, whose task it is to complete the mission of the True Parents, has been one of sorrow, marked by inexpressible suffering and persecution. The third Adam, the True Parent, needs to indemnify and completely reverse all the failures of the first and second Adams. His task is to complete not only the mission of the Savior, Messiah, and Lord at his Second Coming, but also the missions of all those major figures on whom religions are based. With similarities to the process of God’s creation of the universe, his life has constituted the great work of the re-creation of humankind, where not even the smallest error is permitted. It has been a lonely course that cannot be fully comprehended by anyone. It has been a course that took him down thorny paths through the wilderness -- paths that he had to follow while utterly alone. Not even God could acknowledge him. Hovering many times between life and death, even vomiting blood, he still had to rise again like a phoenix, to remain true to his promise to God. Though he was innocent, Reverend Moon has had to endure unjust imprisonment six times: for working in the underground independence movement when he was studying in Japan in his early days -- for propagating the will of God in Pyongyang, which was under communist rule immediately after Korea’s independence -- during the Syngman Rhee administration after Korea had been reborn as a free nation -- and, furthermore, even in the United States, which proudly presents itself to the world as a model of democracy. Who on earth can understand the life of Reverend Moon? His has been a life of misery; by biting his tongue he has endured for the sake of comforting God, and for the salvation of the fallen people of the world, who are suffering in the realm of death. Even now, if someone were to look into my heart and speak one word of sympathy, I would burst into tears and my tears would flow like a waterfall. There is only one way to recover the realm of lineage, the right of the elder son, and the right of ownership. This is the path to win the natural subjugation (winning over) of Satan, to have Satan surrender voluntarily. What is the secret to accomplish this? It is only by the power of (God-centered), true love, when we love our enemies more than we love our own children.

~ True Love ~

Then what is true love? Its essence is to give, to live for the sake of others, and for the sake of the whole. True love gives, forgets that it has given, and continues to give without ceasing. True love gives joyfully. We find it in the joyful and loving heart of a mother who cradles her baby in her arms and nurses it at her breast. True love is sacrificial love, such as that of a devoted son who finds his greatest satisfaction in dedicating himself with all of his body and mind to helping his parents. When we are bound together in true love, we can be together forever, continually rejoicing in each other’s company. The power of attraction of true love brings all things in the universe to our feet; even God will come to dwell with us. Nothing can compare to the value of true love. It has the power to dissolve the barriers fallen people have created, including national boundaries and the barriers of race and even religion. The main attributes of God’s true love are that it is absolute, unique, unchanging, and eternal. Whoever practices true love will live with God, share His happiness, and enjoy the right to participate as an equal in His work. Therefore, a life lived for the sake of others, a life of true love, is the absolute precondition for entering the (spiritual) kingdom-of-heaven.

~ The Spirit World Really Exists ~

Ladies and gentlemen, each person has a mind and body, and a spirit-self that is more elevated than the mind. God resides in the world in which we live with our physical bodies, and also in the spirit world, to which our spirits are destined to pass on (go). Therefore, only when we have become completely one with God in true love, are we complete. Such a perfected person might be a small individual but would represent all of history and all potential future relationships, and so could be said to possess infinite value. Once we are aware of our universal value, we realize that our lives should be led by, and carried out in, service to our minds.

That is why your conscience knows and perceives not only every action you have performed, but also every thought you have entertained. Your conscience is aware of these things, before your own teachers, parents, or even God is. Hence, if you were to live in absolute obedience to the commands of your conscience, which is your teacher for eternity, you would be absolutely guaranteed to have eternal life. Such is the way of God’s creation. Looking at the structure of a human being from another perspective, we can recognize that God created us as beings with dual characteristics. He created our physical bodies as miniatures of the corporeal, tangible world, and (He created) our spiritual bodies to be representatives of, and lords of, the incorporeal world. Accordingly, His intention was that we would live for one-hundred years or so, in the physical world, and, once the physical body ceases to function, pass on naturally and automatically into the incorporeal, spirit world. In this way, though it cannot be perceived by our physical eyes, the spirit world is the automatic and inevitable extension of our lives on earth, (and is) humankind’s eternal, original homeland, created by God.

The spirit world does actually exist. It is not a world that has been fantasized or imagined into existence. We do not have the right to choose; it is not a world we can go to if we please, or refuse to go to if we would rather not. Just as God is eternal and unchanging, the spirit world He created is also eternal and unchanging. Just as we live in the physical world in our physical bodies, and form all sorts of relationships with the existing world, even in the spirit world we are destined to go on living in our spiritual bodies, forming and maintaining close relationships with all the phenomena of the spirit world.

~ The Relationship between the Spirit and the Physical Body ~

However, in the relationship between the spirit and the physical body of a human being, the spirit is the more important of the two. The physical body lasts for about a hundred years before it ceases to function, but the spirit lasts eternally, transcending time and space. Isn’t even a person who does well in the physical world bound to die? Therefore, before you pass on to the next world, you should achieve harmony between your physical and spiritual bodies, by living your earthly life in such a way that you meet the standards of both the physical and spiritual worlds.

In other words, you have the responsibility to perfect your spirit within your physical body, based on the finite life you live in the tangible, physical world. This does not mean, however, that the perfection of your spirit-self happens automatically. Only on the basis of your having achieved complete harmony between your mind and body during your earthly life, by expressing true love through action, can your spirit-self fully mature.

Ladies and gentlemen, in order for fruit to ripen and be put into storage in autumn, it must first pass through the growing process of spring and summer, and be provided with the nutrients supplied by nature and (with) the tender loving care of the farmer. Fruit grown in an orchard by a lazy and ignorant farmer, will be afflicted with all kinds of diseases and be affected by foul weather. Eventually it will fall from the tree before it is ripe, or be classified as worm-infested. Though it will still be fruit, it will be different from other fruit, since it will never be good enough to sell in the market.

Fruit that has fully matured on the tree will automatically go into its owner’s storehouse. Similarly, only when the spirit of a person has reached perfection during his life in the physical world, which can be likened to the tree, can it automatically enter the incorporeal spirit world of the kingdom of heaven. In other words, a person will automatically enter the kingdom of God in heaven, only when he has qualified for and enjoyed the kingdom of heaven on earth, by living as a fully mature person while in his physical body. While living on earth, your every action and movement is recorded on your spirit-self without exception, with the public laws of heaven as the standard. Accordingly, you will enter the spirit world in the form of your spirit-self, which has recorded your life on earth with 100-percent accuracy. Your spirit will show plainly whether you have led a ripe life of goodness, or a wormy, rotten life of sinfulness.

What this means is that God will not judge you; you will be your own judge. If you are aware of this astonishing rule from Heaven, will you spend the remaining days of your life on earth in selfishness and immorality, succumbing to all the temptations of Satan and in pursuit of nothing but pleasure? No, rather you will abstain from injuring and scarring your spirit bodies, even at the risk of your earthly life. Please bear this truth in mind: whether you are bound for heaven or for hell is determined by your thoughts, words, and deeds in each moment. This does not imply, though, that the spirit leads its own life or that it can express true love through actions on its own. Your spirit-self grows, matures, and finally becomes perfected, only within your physical body, through an earthly lifetime of having actualized true love, bringing your mind and body into a smooth relationship of give-and-take.

Nevertheless, undeniably, your outer-self and inner-self are in a constant relationship of conflict and struggle. How much longer will you allow this fighting to continue? -- Ten years? -- A hundred years? In contrast, there is undeniably a proper order for all forms of existence in the universe. This indicates that God did not create human beings in this state of conflict and disorder. You need to know that it is your duty and responsibility as a human being, to dispel all temptations directed toward your outer self -- your physical body -- and be victorious in life by following the way of your inner-self -- your conscience. Heavenly fortune will be with those who lead their lives in such a way. They will achieve spiritual perfection.

~ The Kingdom of Heaven and the Family ~

Ladies and gentlemen, what kind of place is the kingdom of heaven? In brief, the heavenly kingdom is a world overflowing with God’s true love. True love is its axis. True love is everywhere, in the outward expression as well as in the inward thought. Everyone’s life is filled with true love, from beginning to end. In the kingdom of heaven (on earth), people are born through true love, live in the embrace of true love, and follow the track of true love until the day they pass on into the next world, the spirit world. The kingdom of heaven (on earth) is a natural world where all people live for the sake of one another. Consequently, antagonism and envy cannot be found anywhere in that world. It is a world that is not governed by money, position (prestige), or power. There, the success of every person represents the success of the whole, the likes of every person represent the likes of the whole, and the joy of every person represents the joy of the whole. The kingdom of heaven is a world filled with the air of true love, where everyone breathes true love. Its life throbs with love, everywhere and all the time. The citizens of that kingdom are all linked together through their common membership in God’s lineage. There, the whole world and all its people are connected in an inseparable relationship, like the cells in our bodies. True love, the love that is God’s essence, is Heaven’s only governing power. Accordingly, God also exists for true love.

Ladies and gentlemen, you should now devote yourselves to practicing a life of true love. Can you love God more than Adam or Eve did? Can you love God more than Jesus did? By thoroughly actualizing true love, you should bring your mind and body into perfect harmony. You should establish relationships of true love with everyone around you. To put it another way, you should perfect a true family, consisting of three generations -- grandparents, parents, and children -- living together in true love. If you do this during your time on earth, you will be eligible to enter heaven.

~ A Family of Three Generations Living in Harmony ~

When seeking after the lost ideal of the original family, there should be someone in the position of perfected Adam, someone in the position of Jesus, and someone in the position of the Lord at his second coming. From that starting-point we can establish the family in which God will dwell. In that family, three generations -- grandparents, parents, and children -- will live in harmony. Parents and children should serve and attend the grandparents, because they represent the family’s ancestors, its historical root. Ladies and gentlemen, the family sets the pattern for living together in harmony. The warm environment of oneness -- based on love and respect between parents and children -- mutual fidelity and love between husband and wife -- and trust and mutual reliance among siblings -- is the manifestation of the model, ideal family of peace. This means that you need to establish a true family wherein the stem of true love emerges from the root of true love, and bears the fruit of true love. Such families contain the living root of history and the roots of the kingdom of heaven. In such families, the kingdom of heaven on earth takes root. They are the soil in which God’s everlasting kingship is firmly planted. The grandparents, parents, and children, represent the roots of the past, present, and future, respectively. The root of the past represents the spirit world, the root of the present is the palace representing the world today, and the root of the future establishes sons and daughters as princes and princesses. By establishing such families, we are erecting the palace of peace representing the harmony of the two worlds -- the spirit world and the physical world. In this manner, the three generations of grandparents, parents, and children, should live together as one family and serve the eternal God. God desires to see such families, and it is your responsibility as tribal messiahs and Ambassadors for Peace, to seek after and establish them -- families of Cheon Il Guk, the kingdom of God.

Ladies and gentlemen, you should form families that God will miss and yearn to return to, after He has been away. He should feel comfortable to visit your home, like any parent coming to visit his or her children. This is what it means to live in service to God. Within such a family, God is the vertical subject-partner of your conscience, and your conscience is the vertical subject-partner of your body. Thus, unity with God brings your mind and body into unity. Family members who have established that vertical axis can perfect the four realms of love and heart -- parental love, conjugal love, children’s love, and siblings’ love. That family links all directions, above and below, front and rear, right and left. They revolve around each other in everlasting, spherical motion. This is God’s everlasting, model ideal-family, which expands to ideal, model nations, and (to) His peace kingdom. If only the entire world were filled with such true families! It would be an orderly world where people (would) govern themselves by the heavenly way (path) and heavenly laws, with no need for lawyers, prosecutors or even judges.

Who would be most fully aware of your good and bad deeds? It would be your grandparents, your parents, your spouse, and your children. Is there anything that cannot be resolved within the family? When parents and children, husband and wife, and elder and younger siblings, (all) set an example of living for the sake of one another, how could they do anything unforgivable? What reason would they have to commit crimes? A world governed by the heavenly way and the heavenly laws is a natural world, an unobstructed world of truth and pure reason. It is a world at the "high noon" of absolute values, where there are no dark shadows (no dark secrets kept).

~ International and Cross-cultural Marriage Blessing ~

Distinguished ladies and gentlemen, our bondage to the lineage of Satan has caused so much suffering throughout history. Let us now boldly step forward, to sever it and be grafted onto the root of the lineage of the True Parents. Why should we foolishly continue to live and die as wild olive-trees? A wild olive-tree, even if it lives a thousand years, will only continue producing the seeds of more wild olive-trees. Where can we find the path to escape this vicious cycle? It is through the Holy (UC)-Marriage Blessing. The Holy (UC)-Blessing Ceremony offers the grace of being grafted onto the true olive-tree. It was instituted by the True Parents, who bring God’s true lineage to humankind. Once you change your lineage to God’s lineage, your offspring will belong to God’s lineage naturally. The Holy (UC-marriage) Blessing is received in three stages: rebirth, resurrection and eternal life. Once you receive the True Parents’ Holy (UC-marriage) Blessing, you can give birth to pure, sinless offspring, and build an ideal family.

The best way to receive the Holy (UC-marriage) Blessing is through a cross-cultural marriage. These marriages contribute to the great task of transcending the barriers of race, culture, nationality, ethnicity, and religion, and to creating one family of humankind. In God’s sight, skin color makes no difference. God does not recognize national borders. God does not stand behind the barriers of religion and culture. They are nothing more than the devil’s tricks. The devil has used them to rule over humanity as a false parent for tens-of-thousands of years. You have the mission to teach the members of your families and clans, that the cross-cultural (UC)-Marriage Blessing is the ultimate means to establish a peaceful, ideal world here on earth. Your families and clans should all join the holy ranks of those participating in the Holy (UC)-Marriage Blessing. Ladies and gentlemen, the path is now open wide for you to change your lineage through the Holy-Wine Ceremony that the True Parents have instituted. The (UC-marriage) Blessing is yours, either as newlywed couples or as already married couples, that you may establish true families.

Indeed, I am speaking to the world, advocating that all humanity complete the change of lineage through participating in this intercultural (UC)-Marriage Blessing. These marriages also restore the original family order, by enabling those who are "Abel", relatively closer to Heaven’s side, to take up the leader’s role and the position of the elder brother.

The intercultural (UC)-Marriage Blessing is by far the best way to restore human beings to become the children of God. It is the greatest of moral acts, because bringing people to God’s lineage raises them to a whole new level. It is the rite that severs all bonds of enmity. It is the most sacred rite, converting our lineage to God’s lineage and re-creating us through the True Parents, the King and Queen of Peace. They are the manifestations of God in substance who enable Him to carry out His providence in the present world.

~ True Parents’ Peace Movement ~

I have dedicated my entire life to teaching the path of living for the sake of others. This is the practice of true love. As a basic principle, it applies not only to individuals but to all levels -- from the family, to the society, and to the nation. In this light, I would like to reiterate the proposal I have made for a truly providential and revolutionary project for the sake of peace and human welfare, and also for building God’s homeland and original hometown. From the historical point of view, the divisions of our world into East and West, North and South, were wrought by Satan. I am proposing that we build a passage across the Bering Strait that separates the North American and Russian land-masses. This passage, which I call the "World-Peace King Bridge-Tunnel", will connect an international highway-system that will allow people to travel on land from Africa’s Cape of Good Hope to Santiago, Chile, and from London to New York, across the Bering Strait, connecting the world as a single community. God is warning us that He will no longer tolerate separation and division. Carrying out this project will bind the world together as one village. It will tear down the man-made walls of race, culture, religion, and country, and establish the kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world that has been God’s cherished desire. The United States and Russia can become as one. The European Union, China, India, Japan, Brazil, and all nations, and also the world’s religions, can combine their energies to succeed in this project. The success of this project will be decisive in establishing the kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world, where people will no longer wage war.

~ The Advent of the Kingdom of the Peaceful, Ideal World ~

Distinguished peace ambassadors and leaders from all fields of life, you are now living in the most blessed and exalted time in history. The era after the coming of heaven has arrived! I proclaim the beginning of the new heaven and new earth, long-awaited and yearned for by billions of your ancestors in the spirit world who have come and gone throughout history. This is the era of the kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world. The four great religious founders and billions of good ancestors have come down to earth to guide you on the heavenly path. The age when the fallen and corrupt world wreaks havoc on humankind, allowing evil people to live better than others, is passing away. Our ultimate purpose is to find and establish the nation that seeks after the will of God and whose citizens all serve God as the center. What would that nation be? It would be the kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world. It would be a nation that resembles the form of a true family, with three generations living together in harmony, trusting, respecting, and supporting one another and becoming one in love. In short, it is the nation that humanity has desired throughout the ages, the utopia where God is sovereign. This means we need a movement to realize a society of interdependence, mutual prosperity, and universally shared values. We must make humankind into one great family, by breaking down the walls in our hearts and eliminating even the boundaries between nations. This movement begins from each family. Therefore, each of us should bear in mind that it is our providential calling to establish a true family. This is the way we can advance the establishment of the universal peace kingdom on earth. Indeed, all this is coming to pass. In the Middle East, one of the world’s tinderboxes, Jews, Christians, and Muslims, have found the resources in my philosophy of peace to engage in a new dimension of dialogue. In past decades my "Unification Thought" played a decisive role in ending the Cold War. Now I am successfully leading behind-the-scenes efforts to bring about the reunification of my homeland of Korea.

But I am not yet satisfied, because I began my life’s work at the command of Heaven. I have come as the True Parent of humankind, with God’s anointing, and I am determined to keep my promise to Him. I am determined to obliterate all national divisions and barriers that have poisoned this earth and to establish the kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world, where all people, everywhere, can live hand in hand.

~ Our Mission ~

The era after the coming of heaven that God and True Parents have opened is a time of dramatic change. You have the mission to make this era blossom and bear fruit in blessing and glory. Therefore, please become Heaven’s emissaries, fulfilling the dual missions of the "peace-kingdom police-force" and "peace-kingdom corps". Serve humanity under the banner of the Universal Peace Federation, which is working to take up the role of an "Abel-type United Nations". Worthy citizens of the world, if not you, then who will nurture and protect the Blessed (UC-married) families and this blessed planet Earth that God has given us? Ladies and gentlemen, I have said that in the era after the coming of heaven, we must recover the true lineage that was lost when Adam fell, by receiving the (UC)-Marriage Blessing through the True Parents. The providence of the (UC-marriage) Blessing should be perfected through five stages: the individual, the family, the tribe, the race, and the nation. In this way, let us fulfill our divine mission as Blessed (UC-married) families, in the era after the coming of heaven, by restoring and establishing the ideal three-generation family on the world level. This is the same purpose for which Jesus came to the earth, and which he sought to accomplish before passing from this world. Therefore, I am now leading all tribal and national messiahs to unite and bring to a final end the improper relationship between the political sphere, representing the Cain realm, and the religious sphere, representing the Abel realm. With this providential will in mind, I have declared that a second "Cheon Jeong Peace Palace", for the religious sphere, should be established in Geneva, Switzerland, a city with a significant history in relation to the relationship between the religious and political spheres. The Mongolian Peoples’ Federation, representing 74-percent of the world’s population, should bear in mind that the providential age is now upon us, in which it should fulfill its duties by restoring the world through the (UC-marriage) Blessing on the national level. This will bring to a close the conflict between Cain and Abel, which had its beginning within humanity’s first family.
Ladies and gentlemen, the providential time has now come when we have the mission to unite the two sons, Cain and Abel. It is by their mother’s love that they can become one. Then, having recovered their original positions, they should dedicate the restored, original, ideal family before the True Parents, the "King and Queen of Peace in Heaven and on Earth". Please take to heart and engrave this in your mind: You are living at a time when God gives you the mission -- through restoring the true, ideal family -- to offer before Heaven the realm of the siblings’ love and the right of ownership, that were given over to Satan through the Fall of our human ancestors. You are now advancing into the era of liberation and complete inner-freedom, which is the providential era of the realm of the heart of the fourth Adam. In other words, it is the era after the coming of heaven. This is the time when, metaphorically speaking, the sun is directly overhead, such that no shadow is cast (no dark secrets can be kept). This signifies that we have passed through the era before the coming of heaven, which included the Old, New, and Completed-Testament ages. These eras have required immeasurable restitution and atonement, in order to re-create the ideal.

The present time, however, corresponds to the era, prior to Adam’s Fall, of building the original ideal world. It refers to the era of true love that is all-encompassing, all-powerful, and has overall authority (parental-love status). It is the realm of heart in which the spirit world and the physical world are bound together as a unified realm, centering on the True Parents, the King and Queen of Peace. In other words it is the era of the kingdom of peace and unity, in heaven and on earth.

Please become true princes and princesses who live in attendance to God as your True Parent, for He is the Peace King of the multitudes. Let us build the everlasting peace-kingdom by attending (the) True Parents, who have been enthroned as the "King and Queen of Peace in Heaven and on Earth" in the realm of eternal liberation and inner freedom -- where there is no need for the Savior, Messiah, nor the Lord at his Second Coming—and fulfill the dutiful way of a true, devoted child, a patriot, a saint, and a member of the family of God’s sons and daughters!

In so doing, let us inherit True Parents’ victory, of completing Restoration-through-indemnity of the realm of three generations and perfect the original world that would have existed, but for the Fall! Let us establish a model, ideal family, to bring the complete settlement of the universal, ideal realm of liberation and complete inner-freedom, and the kingdom of goodness in which we can enjoy a time of absolute, unique, unchanging, and eternal peace and prosperity, which can become the homeland of universal peace that can be praised for all eternity!

May God’s everlasting blessing be upon your family, your nation, and the world!
Thank you.

PEACE MESSAGE 10

THE FAMILY ROOTED IN ABSOLUTE SEXUAL ETHICS,
WHICH IS THE MODEL FOR GOD’S ABSOLUTENESS,
PEACE AND IDEAL, AND THE GLOBAL KINGDOM
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This speech was given by Rev. Dr. Sun Myung Moon on the occasion of the Forty-seventh True Children’s Day, on November 21, 2006, at the Korea International Exhibition Center, Ilsan, Korea.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Beloved Blessed (UC-married) families of the world, respected Ambassadors for Peace, leaders from all walks of life, and distinguished guests from at home and abroad:
Today is a significant day in the history of God’s providence; it begins the forty-seventh year since I declared Children’s Day. There are four great milestones that had to be reached and established in the providential course of Restoration-through-indemnity, in order to fulfill God’s purpose of creation that was lost through the Fall of Adam and Eve, our first ancestors. They are: God’s Day, Parents’ Day, Children’s Day, and the Day Of All Things. The victory of the "Coronation Ceremony for the Kingship of God" came in 2001 and the beginning of the providence of "Cheon Il Guk" was proclaimed at the time of the "Entrance Ceremony for the Cheon Jeong Peace Palace" and the coronation ceremony, in June 2006. This is the first observance of "True Children’s Day" since then. To commemorate this significant day and renew our resolve, I would like to convey Heaven’s words on the subject of "The Family Rooted In Absolute Sexual Ethics, Which Is The Model For God’s Absoluteness, Peace And Ideal, And The Global Kingdom", which is a summary of the message from Heaven that I have given to the 6.5-billion people of the world over the past year. It is to remind you once again of your role and mission, from the viewpoint of God’s providence, and of the importance of the age in which you are living.

These words are the words of life that 120 international religious-leaders who received them from True Parents directly, are proclaiming in 120 nations of the world. The world speaking-tour carried out by members of the three generations of the family of the True Parents has opened the path to the salvation of humanity through Heaven’s message and the (UC)-Marriage Blessing. On that foundation, these religious leaders, who represent the Cain-type world, have taken up the cause and are traveling to every corner of the world.

~ The Emergence of the Universal Peace Federation ~

Ladies and gentlemen, throughout history, people have worked continuously for peace, based upon human effort alone. Consider the confrontation between democracy and communism. Outwardly, the difference between the two was the extent to which they recognized and assured individual rights and freedoms. Yet, from the viewpoint of God’s providence, communism and democracy have been like children who have lost their parents; the two divided into the positions of Cain and Abel, respectively, and became trapped in the chains of fraternal conflict. Throughout history, peace movements inevitably reached their limit and ended in failure, because imperfect human beings carried them out. This is why the United Nations, although launched with the splendid dream of realizing world peace, today must admit its inherent limitations and confess that it can no longer give hope to humanity. This is simply because the UN was launched during the era prior to the time when God could directly govern the unfolding of His providence in history. Now, however, it is entirely possible for the Universal Peace Federation to fulfill its mission to unite heaven and earth and form the kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world. This is because it represents God’s victory and the fruit of the True Parents’ blood, sweat, and tears. Therefore, the Universal Peace Federation is the world’s cherished hope. It will carry out the role of an "Abel-type" counterpart to the existing "Cain-type" United Nations, to renew the UN and provide the leadership for a new sovereignty of universal peace which in Korean, I call "Cheon Il Guk". Therefore, please bear in mind that you, as leaders from around the world, have been given the heavenly mission to build God’s substantial
homeland, the ideal world God envisioned at the time of the Creation.

~ God’s Purpose of Creation ~

Respected leaders from around the world, what do you think is God’s ultimate purpose, for creating human beings? It is to experience joy through relating with ideal families filled with true love. What does an ideal family look like? When God first created human beings, He made Adam representing all men, and Eve representing all women, with the intention that they become owners of true love. Then what was the quickest way for them to cultivate a character of true love? Simply put, it was to secure a parent-child relationship with God, whereby they could live in attendance of God as their Father, and form a model family embodying God’s ideal of peace. They were to have followed the path of living as one family with God, experiencing joy eternally. God created Adam and Eve and installed them as the first ancestors of humankind, to form the model family and establish the ideal of peace. He committed Himself completely to raising them as His son and daughter, who were to be encapsulations of the entire cosmos, mediators between the spiritual and physical worlds, and lords of creation, and who would be joined with Him through true love, true life, and true lineage.

~ Absolute Sexual Morality and Conjugal Love ~

Ladies and gentlemen, it was necessary for Adam and Eve to establish a model, ideal family of peace. God, the absolute being, created human beings as His children, in order to instill in them absolute values, on the basis of an absolute standard. Thus, human beings must follow the way of that absolute standard, in keeping with the demands of the heavenly path. This means we must follow our destined life-course, in order to attend God, the absolute being, as our Parent. In other words, for people to perfect themselves in resemblance of God, and obtain the stature of people of character who can be called sons and daughters of the absolute being, they must follow the path based on the absolute standard God has determined. The essence of this path is the standard of absolute sexual-purity.

The first stage is maintaining absolute sexual-purity prior to getting married. After we are born, we go through a process of growth. We pass through infancy and childhood in a very safe and secure environment, embraced in our parents’ love and protection. We then enter the time of adolescence, which signals the start of a new and dynamic life as we forge relationships on a totally new level with those around us, as well as with all things of creation. This is the moment when we begin to travel the path to becoming an absolute human being -- internally, through the perfection of our character, and externally, by reaching adulthood.

Yet, at this time there is an absolute requirement that people must fulfill, no matter who they are. This is the requirement of maintaining their purity, which is the model of absolute sexual-morality for human beings. God gave it to His children as their destined responsibility and duty, to be carried out in order to fulfill the ideal of Creation. This heavenly path is thus the way toward perfecting the model of absoluteness in conjugal love.

What was the single word, the one and only commandment God gave to Adam and Eve, the first ancestors, upon their Creation? It was the commandment and blessing to maintain an absolute standard of sexual purity, until God’s approval of their marriage. We find the basis for this in the Bible passage that indicates that Adam and Eve would surely die, on the day they ate of the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil. If they had refrained from eating, and observed Heaven’s commandment, they would have perfected their character, and, as co-creators, stood with God, the Creator, as His equals. Furthermore, they would have taken dominion over the Creation, and (would have) become the lords of the universe, enjoying eternal and ideal happiness.

It was God’s blessing that He told them to preserve their purity, so that they could wed as His true children, through His Marriage Blessing, become true husband and wife, become true parents, and give birth to true children. This knowledge deepens our understanding of this commandment. It is connected with the principle of absoluteness in conjugal love, which is a principle of God’s creation. The profound truth within God’s commandment has lain hidden throughout history: human beings must inherit and live by a model, absolute sexual-purity that is intrinsic to God’s ideal for creation. This is so that they might perfect their individuality as God’s children and establish themselves as lords of creation.

Second, is the model of absoluteness in the love of husband and wife. More precious than life itself, this is the heavenly law of absolute fidelity. Husband and wife are eternal partners, given to each other by Heaven. Through having children, they become the co-creators of true love, true life, and true lineage, and the origin of that which is absolute, unique, unchanging, and eternal. This is because it is a heavenly principle that one person cannot give birth to a child by him(self) or herself, even in a thousand years. How can people who preserve their purity before marriage, and whom God binds together in a pure marriage as husband and wife, deviate from the way of Heaven and go astray, following a wrong path? We human beings are different from animals; if they understand God’s purpose in creating them as His children, they will realize that the wrong path is one of unimaginable betrayal and defiance of the Creator; it is a path of self-destruction, along which they dig their own graves. Resulting from the human Fall, this path falls outside the realm of the ideal of Creation.

Ladies and gentlemen, the absoluteness of conjugal love is the greatest blessing that Heaven has bestowed on humankind. Without adhering to the principle of absolute sexual-purity, the path to the perfection of one’s character and spiritual maturity is closed. Furthermore, without securing the foundation of absolute sexual morality within a true family of perfected individuals, it is impossible for God to manifest with dignity as the incarnate God of character.

In order for God, the absolute being, to have direct dominion over our lives, and to live and share joy with us, we who were created as His object partners and children, must assume the form of a perfected family based on the standard of absolute sexual-ethics, as God intended. Only within the boundaries of a family upholding absolute sexual-morality, is it possible to create relationships based on an ideal model of sexual ethics for life, as it should originally have existed. This life includes the three-generational realm of grandparents, parents, children, and grandchildren. Please understand clearly, that God’s eternal life and a person’s eternal life are possible, only on this foundation. Therefore, if Adam and Eve had achieved individual perfection -- the perfection of character -- by upholding the principles of absolute sexual-purity, in accordance with God’s will, and then entered into conjugal relations through His (marriage) Blessing, they would have attained complete oneness with Him. God would have dwelt within their union. Their children also would have been linked to this holy order of love, enjoying a direct relationship with God as their parent. In other words, the marriage of the perfected Adam and Eve, based on absolute purity in conjugal love, would have been God’s own marriage. God is forever God, but at the same time (but additionally), Adam and Eve were to have become His incarnations. They would have become God’s body. God would have settled inside their minds and hearts, to become the True Parent of humankind in both the spiritual and physical worlds, on the foundation of absoluteness in conjugal love.

~ The Importance of Lineage ~

Do you know what has pained God’s heart the most, causing Him the greatest grief, over the long history since the Fall of Adam and Eve? God lost His lineage, and with that, God lost the basis of human brotherhood, and even His ownership over the creation. God’s lineage is more precious than life itself. Without it, the fruits of true life and true love never matured. They became instead the fruits of Satan, lacking any relationship with God. From them descended the 6.5-billion people now inhabiting the earth.
Ladies and gentlemen, lineage is more important than life and more precious than love. Life and love come together to create lineage. Lineage cannot be established if either life or love is missing. Therefore, among the three -- love, life, and lineage -- lineage is the fruit. God’s lineage contains the seed of true love. God’s lineage provides the context and environment for a true life.

Hence, for us to become the ideal people envisioned by God, that is, people of ideal character, and to create ideal families, we first need to be linked to His lineage. To take it a step further, only when we are linked to God’s lineage, is it possible to create God’s homeland, the ideal nation. The kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world is established in this way, through relationships based on absolute sexual-morality.

Please inscribe the importance of lineage in your hearts. I cannot emphasize this enough. This is because the parent-child relationship is the highest and most important of all relationships, and the only way through which His lineage can be bequeathed and made to last forever. You must be clear on this point. However, it is false love, false life, and false lineage, that have infested the earth. God’s love, life, and lineage, (all) fell into the hands of the adulterer Satan, the enemy of love. Heaven and earth were suffocated and transformed into hell. The world became a wretched place, far from God’s presence. Yet, humanity to this day lives in ignorance of this. People are deluded into believing that the lineage of the enemy is the lifeline upon which the world depends. This is the wretched truth, about humanity descended from the Fall. That is why we refer to this world as "hell on earth". God views humanity’s tragic situation with a heart full of pain.

Furthermore, when, due to the Fall, Satan gained control of the realm of lineage, he also usurped the right of the elder son, and the right of ownership. Who can comprehend the sorrowful, painful heart of God? God is like a father who worked and sweated his entire life, to accumulate assets for his children, only to have a thief steal everything overnight. God lost His lineage, lost His children, and was forced to hand over the ownership of the nations and world to Satan. My life, the life of Reverend Moon, whose task it is to complete the mission of the True Parents, has been one of sorrow, marked by inexpressible suffering and persecution. The third Adam, the True Parent, must indemnify and completely reverse all the failures of the first and second Adams. He has the task, to complete not only the mission of the Savior, Messiah, and Lord at his Second Coming, but also the missions of all those major figures on whom religions are based. With similarities to the process of God’s Creation of the universe, his life has constituted the great work of the re-creation of humanity, where not even the smallest error is permitted. It has been a lonely course, that cannot be fully comprehended by anyone. It has been a course that took him down thorny paths through the wilderness -- paths that he had to follow while utterly alone. Not even God could acknowledge him. Hovering many times between life and death, even vomiting blood, his life has been one of establishing a model of sexual morality, the life of a phoenix, that had to rise again to remain true to his promise to God. Though he was innocent, Reverend Moon has had to endure unjust imprisonment six times -- for working in the underground independence movement when he was studying in Japan in his early days -- for propagating the will of God in Pyongyang, which was under communist rule immediately after Korea’s independence -- during the Syngman Rhee administration after Korea had been reborn as a free nation -- and, furthermore, even in the United States, which proudly presents itself to the world as a model of democracy. Who on earth can understand the life of Reverend Moon -- a life that has been one of perfecting a model of sexual morality? His has been a life of misery; by biting his tongue he has endured for the sake of comforting God, and for the salvation of the fallen people of the world, who are suffering in the realm of death. Even now, if someone were to look into my heart and speak one word of sympathy, I would burst into tears and my tears would flow like a waterfall. There is only one way to recover the realm of lineage, the right of the elder son, and the right of ownership. This is the path to win the natural subjugation (winning over) of Satan, to have Satan surrender voluntarily. What is the secret to accomplish this? It can only be accomplished by the power of (God-centered), true love, when we love our enemies more than we love our own children.

~ True Love ~

Then what is true love? Its essence is to give, to live for the sake of others, and for the sake of the whole. True love gives, forgets that it has given, and continues to give without ceasing. True love gives joyfully. We find it in the joyful and loving heart of a mother who cradles her baby in her arms and nurses it at her breast. True love is sacrificial love, as with a devoted son who finds his greatest satisfaction in dedicating his mind and body to helping his parents. When we are bound together in true love, we can be together forever, continually rejoicing in each other’s company. The attraction of true love brings all things in the universe to our feet; even God will come to dwell with us. Nothing can compare to the value of true love. It has the power to dissolve the barriers (that) fallen people have created, including national boundaries, and the barriers of race and even religion. The main attributes of God’s true love are that it is absolute, unique, unchanging, and eternal, so whoever practices true love will live with God, share His happiness, and enjoy the right to participate as an equal in His work. Therefore, a life lived for the sake of others, a life of true love, is the absolute precondition for entering the (spiritual) kingdom of heaven.

~ The Spirit World Really Exists ~

Ladies and gentlemen, each person has a mind and body, and a spirit-self that is more elevated than the mind. God resides in the world in which we live with our physical bodies, and also in the spirit world, to which our spirits are destined to pass on (go). Therefore, only when we have become completely one with God in true love are we complete. Such a perfected person might be a small individual, but would represent all of history and all potential future relationships, and so could be said to possess infinite value. Once we are aware of this universal value, we realize that our lives should be led by, and carried out in, service to our minds for the sake of perfecting a standard of absolute sexual-morality.

That is why your conscience knows and perceives not only every action you have performed, but also every thought you have entertained. Your conscience is aware of these things, before your teachers, parents, or even God are. Hence, if you were to live in absolute obedience to the commands of your conscience, which is your teacher for eternity, you would be absolutely guaranteed to have eternal life. Such is the way of God’s creation. When viewing the structure of a human being from a different angle, we can recognize that God created us as beings with dual characteristics. He created our physical bodies as miniatures of the corporeal, tangible world and (He created) our spiritual bodies as representatives of, and lords of, the incorporeal world. Accordingly, His intention was that we would live for one-hundred years or so, in the physical world and, once the physical body ceases to function, pass on naturally and automatically, into the incorporeal, spirit world. In this way, though it cannot be perceived by the eyes in our physical bodies, the spirit world is the automatic and inevitable extension of our lives on earth, (and is) humanity’s eternal, original homeland, created by God.

The spirit world does actually exist. It is not a world that has been fantasized or imagined into existence. We do not have the right to choose; it is not a world we can go to if we please, or refuse to go to if we would rather not. Just as God is eternal and unchanging, the spirit world He created is also eternal and unchanging. Just as we live in the physical world in our physical bodies and form all sorts of relationships with the existing world, in the spirit world we are destined to go on living in our spiritual bodies, forming and maintaining close relationships with all phenomena of the spirit world.

~ The Relationship between the Spirit and the Physical Body ~

However, in the relationship between the spirit and the physical body of a human being, the spirit is the more important of the two. The physical body lasts for about a hundred years before it ceases to function, but the spirit lasts eternally, transcending time and space. Isn’t even a person who does well in this earthly world bound to die? Therefore, before you pass on to the next world, you should achieve harmony between your spirit and your physical body, by living your earthly life in such a way that you meet the standards of both the physical and spiritual worlds.

In other words, you have the responsibility to perfect your spirit within your physical body, based on the finite life you live in the tangible, physical world. This does not mean, however, that the perfection of your spirit-self happens automatically. Only on the basis of your having achieved complete unity between your mind and body during your earthly life, by expressing true love through action, can your spirit-self fully mature.

Ladies and gentlemen, in order for fruit to ripen and be put into storage in autumn, it must first pass through the growing process of spring and summer, and be provided with the nutrients supplied by nature and (with) the tender loving care of its owner. Fruit grown in an orchard by a lazy and ignorant owner will be afflicted with all kinds of diseases and be affected by foul weather. Eventually it will fall from the tree before it is ripe, or be classified as worm-infested. Though it will still be fruit, it will be different from other fruit, since it will never be good enough to sell in the market. Fruit that has fully matured on the tree will automatically go into the owner’s storehouse. Similarly, only when the spirit of a person has reached perfection during his life in the physical world, which can be likened to the tree, can it automatically enter the incorporeal spirit world of the kingdom of heaven. In other words, a person will enter the kingdom of God in heaven automatically, only when he has qualified for and enjoyed the kingdom of heaven on earth, by living as a fully mature person while in his physical body. While living on earth, your every action and movement is recorded on your spirit-self without exception, with the public laws of Heaven as the standard. Accordingly, you will enter the spirit world in the form of your spirit-self, which has recorded your life on earth with 100-percent accuracy. Your spirit will show plainly whether you have led a ripe life of goodness, or a wormy, rotten life of sinfulness. What this means is that it is not God who will judge you; you will be your own judge. If you are aware of this astonishing rule from Heaven, will you spend the remaining days of your life on earth in selfishness and immorality, succumbing to all the temptations of Satan, and in pursuit of nothing but pleasure? No, rather you will abstain from injuring and scarring your spirit bodies, even at the risk of your earthly life. Please bear this truth in mind: Whether you are bound for heaven or for hell is determined by your thoughts, words, and deeds in each moment. Nevertheless, when you look into your lives, undeniably, your outer-self and inner-self are in a constant relationship of conflict and struggle. How much longer will you allow this fighting to continue? -- Ten years? -- A hundred years? In contrast, there is undeniably a proper order for all forms of existence in the universe. This indicates that God did not create human beings in this state of conflict and disorder. You need to know that it is your duty and responsibility as a human being, to dispel all temptations directed at your outer-self, your physical body, to perfect absolute sexual-purity and be victorious in life, by following the way of your inner self --your conscience. Heavenly fortune will be with those who lead their lives in such a way. They will attain the perfection of their spiritual selves.

~ The Kingdom of Heaven and the Family ~

Ladies and gentlemen, what kind of place is the kingdom of heaven (on earth)? In brief, the heavenly kingdom (on earth) is a world overflowing with God’s true love. True love is its axis. True love is everywhere, in the outward expression, as well as in the inward thought. Everyone’s life is filled with true love, from beginning to end. In the kingdom of heaven, people are born through true love, live in the embrace of true love, and follow the track of true love, until the day they pass on into the next world, the spirit world. The kingdom of heaven (on earth) is a natural world, where all people live for the sake of one another. Consequently, antagonism and envy cannot be found anywhere in that world. It is a world that is not governed by money, position (prestige), or power. There, the success of every person represents the success of the whole, the likes of every person represent the likes of the whole, and the joy of every person represents the joy of the whole. The kingdom of heaven is a world filled with the air of true love, where everyone breathes true love. Its life throbs with love, everywhere and all the time. The citizens of that kingdom are all linked together, through their common membership of God’s lineage. There, the whole world and all its people are connected in an inseparable relationship, like the cells in our bodies. True love, the love that is God’s essence, is Heaven’s only governing power. Accordingly, God also exists for true love.

~ A Family of Three Generations Living in Harmony ~

When seeking after the lost ideal of the original family, there should be someone in the position of perfected Adam, someone in the position of Jesus, and someone in the position of the Lord at his Second Coming. From that starting-point we can establish the family in which God will dwell. In that family, three generations -- grandparents, parents, and children -- will live in harmony. Parents and children should serve and attend the grandparents, because they represent the family’s ancestors, its historical root. Ladies and gentlemen, the family sets the pattern for living together in harmony. The warm environment of oneness -- based on love and respect between parents and children -- mutual fidelity and love between husband and wife -- and trust and mutual reliance among siblings -- is the manifestation of the model, ideal family of peace. This means that you need to establish a true family, wherein the stem of true love emerges from the root of true love, and bears the fruit of true love. In this manner, the three generations of grandparents, parents, and children, should live together as one family and serve the eternal God. God desires to see such families, and it is your responsibility as tribal messiahs and "Ambassadors for Peace", to seek after and establish them -- families of "Cheon Il Guk", the kingdom of God. Ladies and gentlemen, you should form families that God will miss and yearn to return to, after He has been away. He should feel comfortable to visit your home, like any parent coming to visit his or her children. This is what it means to live in service to God. Within such a family, God is the vertical subject-partner of your conscience, and your conscience is the vertical subject-partner of your body. Thus, unity with God brings your mind and body into unity. Family members who have established that vertical axis can perfect the four realms of love and heart -- parental love, conjugal love, children’s love, and siblings’ love. That family links all directions, up and down, front and rear, right and left. They revolve around each other in everlasting, spherical motion. This is God’s eternal, model, ideal family, which expands to ideal, model nations and (to) His peace kingdom. If only the entire world were filled with such true families! It would be an orderly world where people (would) govern themselves by the heavenly way (path) and heavenly laws, with no need for lawyers, prosecutors or even judges.

Who would be most fully aware of your good and bad deeds? It would be your grandparents, your parents, your spouse, and your children. Is there anything that cannot be resolved within the family? When parents and children, husband and wife, and elder and younger siblings, (all) set an example of living for the sake of one another, how could they do anything unforgivable? What reason would they have, to commit crimes? A world governed by the heavenly way (path) and heavenly laws is a natural world, an unobstructed world of truth and pure reason. It is a world at the "high noon" of absolute values, where there are no dark shadows.

~ International and Cross-cultural Marriage Blessing ~

Distinguished ladies and gentlemen, our bondage to the lineage of Satan has caused so much suffering throughout history. Let us now boldly step forward, to sever it and be grafted onto the root of the lineage of the True Parents. Why should we foolishly continue to live and die as wild olive-trees? A wild olive-tree, even if it lives a thousand years, will only continue producing the seeds of more wild olive-trees. Where can we find the path to escape this vicious cycle? It is through the Holy (UC-marriage) Blessing. The Holy (UC-marriage) Blessing Ceremony offers the grace of being grafted onto the true olive-tree. It was instituted by the True Parents, who bring God’s true lineage to humankind. Once you change your lineage to God’s lineage, your offspring will belong to God’s lineage naturally. The Holy (UC-marriage) Blessing is received in three stages: rebirth, resurrection, and eternal life. These marriages contribute to the enormous task of transcending the barriers of race, culture, nationality, ethnicity, and religion, and to creating one family of humankind. In God’s sight, skin color makes no difference. God does not recognize national borders. God does not stand behind the barriers of religion and culture. They are nothing more than the devil’s tricks. The devil has used them to rule over humanity as a false parent for tens-of-thousands of years. You have the mission to teach the members of your families and clans, that perfecting a life of absoluteness in the marriage relationship through the international, cross-cultural (UC)-Marriage Blessing is the ultimate means to establish a peaceful, ideal world here on earth. Your families and clans should all join the holy ranks of those participating in the (UC)-Marriage Blessing Ceremony, based on the perfection of absolute sexual-purity. Ladies and gentlemen, the path is now open wide for you to change your lineage through the Holy-Wine Ceremony that the True Parents have instituted. The (UC-marriage) Blessing is yours, either as newlywed couples or as already married couples, that you may establish true families.

~ True Parents’ Peace Movement ~

In this light, I would like to repeat the proposal I have made, for a truly providential and revolutionary project for the sake of peace and human welfare, and the building of God’s homeland and original hometown. From the historical point of view, the divisions of our world into East and West, North and South, were wrought by Satan. I am proposing that we build a passage across the Bering Strait that separates the North American and Russian land-masses. This passage, which I call the "World-Peace King Bridge-Tunnel", will link an international highway system that will allow people to travel on land, from Africa’s Cape of Good Hope to Santiago, Chile, and from London to New York, across the Bering Strait, connecting the world as a single community. God is warning us that He will no longer tolerate separation and division. Carrying out this project will bind the world together as one village. It will tear down the man-made walls of race, culture, religion, and country, and establish the kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world that has been God’s cherished desire. The United States and Russia can become one. The European Union, China, India, Japan, Brazil, and all nations, and also the world’s religions, can combine their energies to succeed in this project. Its success will be decisive, in establishing the kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world, where people will no longer wage war.

~ The Advent of the Kingdom of the Peaceful, Ideal World ~

Beloved Blessed (UC-married) families, you are now living in the most blessed and exalted time in history. The era after the coming of heaven has arrived! I proclaim the beginning of the new heaven and new earth, long-awaited and yearned for by billions of your ancestors in the spirit world who have come and gone throughout history. This is the era of the kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world. The four great religious founders, and billions of good ancestors, have come down to earth to guide you on the heavenly path. The age when the fallen and corrupt world wreaks havoc on humankind, allowing evil people to live better than others, is passing away. We should seek out and establish that nation and righteousness -- the ultimate destination for all of us -- that attends God as the center. What would that nation be? It would be the kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world. It would be a nation that resembles the form of a model, true family, with three generations living together in harmony, trusting, respecting, and supporting one another and becoming one in love. In short, it is the nation that humanity has desired throughout the ages, the utopia where God is sovereign. This means that a movement to realize a society of interdependence, mutual prosperity, and universally shared values, is necessary. We need to make humanity one great family, by breaking down the walls in our hearts, and eliminating even the boundaries between nations. This movement begins from each family. Therefore, each of us should bear in mind that it is our providential calling to establish a true family. This is the way we can advance the establishment of the universal peace kingdom on earth. Indeed, all this is coming to pass. In the Middle East, one of the world’s tinderboxes, Jews, Christians, and Muslims, have found the resources in my philosophy of peace to engage in a new dimension of dialogue. In past decades my "Unification Thought" played a decisive role in ending the Cold War. Now I am successfully leading behind-the-scenes efforts to bring about the reunification of my homeland of Korea.

But I am not yet satisfied, because I began my life’s work at the command of Heaven. I have come as the True Parent of humankind, with God’s anointing, and I am determined to keep my promise to Him. I am determined to obliterate all national divisions and barriers that have poisoned this earth and to establish the kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world, where all people everywhere can live hand in hand.

~ Our Mission ~

The era after the coming of heaven, that God and True Parents have opened, is a time of dramatic change. You have the mission to make this era blossom and bear fruit, in blessing and glory. Therefore, please become Heaven’s emissaries, fulfilling the dual missions of the "peace-kingdom police-force" and the "peace-kingdom corps". Serve humanity under the banner of the Universal Peace Federation, which is working to take up the role of an "Abel-type United Nations". Worthy citizens of the world, if not you, then who will nurture and protect the Blessed (UC-married) families and this blessed planet Earth that God has given us?
Ladies and gentlemen, I have said that in the era after the coming of heaven, we must recover the true lineage that was lost when Adam fell, by receiving the (UC)-Marriage Blessing through the True Parents. The providence of the (UC-marriage) Blessing should be perfected through five stages: the individual, the family, the tribe, the race, and the nation. In this way, let us fulfill our divine mission as Blessed (UC-married) families in the era after the coming of heaven, by restoring and establishing the ideal three-generation family on the world level. This is the same purpose for which Jesus came to the earth, and which he sought to accomplish, before passing from this world. Therefore, I am now leading all tribal and national messiahs, to unite and bring to a final end the improper relationship between the political sphere, representing the Cain realm, and the religious sphere, representing the Abel realm.

The Mongolian Peoples’ Federation, representing 74-percent of the world’s population, should bear in mind that the providential age is now upon us, in which it should fulfill its duties, by restoring the world through the (UC)-Marriage Blessing on the national level. This will bring to a close the conflict between Cain and Abel, which began in humankind’s first family. Ladies and gentlemen, the providential time has now come when we have the mission to unite the two sons, Cain and Abel. It is by True Parents’ love that they can become one. Then, having recovered their original positions, they should dedicate the restored, original, ideal family before the True Parents, the "King and Queen of Peace in Heaven and (on) Earth". Please take to heart and engrave this in your mind: You are living at a time when God gives you the mission -- through restoring the true, ideal family -- to offer before Heaven the realm of the siblings’ love and the right of ownership that were given over to Satan through the Fall of our human ancestors. You are now advancing into the era of liberation and complete inner-freedom, which is the providential era of the realm of the heart of the fourth Adam. Put another way, it is the era after the coming of heaven. This is the time when, metaphorically speaking, the sun is directly overhead, such that no shadow is cast (no dark secrets can be kept). This signifies that we have passed through the era before the coming of heaven, which included the Old, New, and Completed-Testament ages. These eras have required immeasurable restitution and atonement, in order to re-create the ideal. The present time, however, corresponds to the era prior to Adam’s Fall, the era of building the original, ideal world. It refers to the era of true love that is all-encompassing, all-powerful, and has overall authority (parental-love status). It is the realm of heart in which the spirit world and the physical world are bound together as a unified realm, centering on the True Parents, the King and Queen of Peace. In other words it is the era of the
kingdom of peace and unity, in heaven and on earth.

Please become true princes and princesses who live in attendance to God as your True Parent, for He is the "Peace King" of the multitudes. Let us build the everlasting peace-kingdom by attending True Parents, who have been enthroned as the "King and Queen of Peace in Heaven and (on) Earth", in the realm of eternal liberation and complete inner-freedom -- where there is no need for the Savior, Messiah or Lord at his Second Coming -- and fulfill the dutiful way of a true, devoted child, a patriot, a saint, and a member of the family of God’s sons and daughters!

By following God’s commandment to maintain absolute sexual-purity, let us establish exemplary families, inherit True Parents’ victory of restoring through indemnity the realm of three generations, and perfect the world as it would have been, but for the Fall! Let us establish a model, ideal family, to bring the complete settlement of the universal, ideal realm of liberation and complete inner-freedom, and the kingdom of goodness in which we can enjoy a time of absolute, unique, unchanging, and eternal peace and prosperity, and which can become the homeland of peace in heaven and on earth, that can be praised for all eternity!
May God’s everlasting blessing be upon your family, your nation, and the world!
Thank you.

PEACE MESSAGE 11

THE MISSION OF THE AMBASSADORS FOR PEACE,
IN THE REVOLUTIONARY ERA AFTER THE COMING OF HEAVEN
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This speech was given by Rev. Dr. Sun Myung Moon at the "National Rally for Ambassadors For Peace and Unity" at the Korea International Exhibition Center in Korea on December 8, 2006.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Distinguished representative leaders of the Ambassadors for Peace:
You have come to a truly historic gathering. With the resounding proclamation of the new millennium still ringing in our ears, we have passed beyond the second year since the declaration of the realm of "Ssang Hab Shib Seung", marking the revolutionary era after the coming of heaven. This declaration has instilled a fresh promise of hope for a new future in the hearts of the 6.5-billion people of the world. We are experiencing the dynamic time of the construction of God’s kingdom of "Cheon Il Guk" -- when a day feels like a thousand years and a thousand years feels like a day. God is calling upon you, as representative leaders of the Ambassadors for Peace of this nation. You are proud descendants of a long line of Korean people, who were born with the spirit to promote the welfare of humankind. In light of this, as we usher in this precious and significant time in God’s providence, I would like to take this opportunity to convey to you a special message from Heaven, regarding the direction and mission humanity should undertake from this time forward. The topic of my speech today is, "The Mission of the Ambassadors for Peace in the Revolutionary Era after the Coming of Heaven".
Ladies and gentlemen, is there a dream common to all people regardless of gender, age, time, or place? Throughout the ages, people everywhere have yearned and hoped for the realization of the ideal of world peace. However, never in history has the everlasting peace been achieved that would bring joy to Heaven. This fact remains the basis of our historical sorrow and anguish.

What went wrong? What brought humankind to descend, into ignorance of the ideal that God cherishes for His creation? Perfection cannot be found in ignorance, even if one waits for ten-thousand years.

~ The Miracle of God’s Creation ~

Ladies and gentlemen, God’s creation is indeed profound. Everything He created was to prepare an environment for the perfection and happiness of human beings, whom He created as His children and partners in love.

Consider a flower; it is one of the masterpieces of God’s creation. Hidden within a flower -- even in a nameless wildflower blooming in a field -- we can easily discover the Creator’s will and purpose. To see a flower alive and growing to perfection is truly to witness a miracle.

Flowers display beautiful colors and the harmony of "yin" and "yang". Even human beings, the lords of Creation, cannot fully replicate their beauty. Flowers continuously give off fragrances that captivate the hearts of the bees and butterflies attracted to their dazzling colors. Flowers can absorb the powerful, brilliant rays of the sun that humans cannot bear to look at. They diffuse their light into natural rays of harmony and peace, and utilize them to create and preserve life. Flowers also do not neglect their duty to provide honey nectar to the bees and butterflies that busily fly to and fro helping them reproduce.

Ladies and gentlemen, the miracle of God’s creation is infinite, transcending, and defying any human description. Even a picture drawn by the greatest artist in the world cannot compare to a cluster of living wildflowers. Even in creating a single, insignificant flower, God the Creator opens the way for it to realize harmony in itself and contribute to the interdependence and mutual prosperity of the whole of Creation. Given that this is so, how much greater is the stature of human beings, whom God created as His children, His eternal partners of love, and His heirs?

~ The Value of Human Beings as Individual Embodiments of Truth ~

Each and every one of the millions of different kinds of flowers in full bloom, maintains its dignity as an individual embodiment of truth under the majestic Principle of Creation. They create harmony in Mother Nature and abide by the laws of interdependence and mutual prosperity. Likewise, each and every human being has Heaven’s blessing and grace to seek harmony, peace, freedom, and happiness, and to find eternal life. Heaven has bestowed on each person the life and characteristics of an individual being. That is to say, every human being is born with the rights and privileges of an individual embodiment of truth. This means that every person, regardless of age, sex, rank, or status, is destined to follow a course of life that is uniquely his or her own, and that reflects his or her individual nature.
Ladies and gentlemen, can you find another person who resembles you one-hundred percent? Think about it. Is there anyone else that has the same individual qualities you have? Would (even) the lives of identical twins who were born on the same day and time, and who die at the same time, be the same? No man can take another person’s individuality, even if he is the handsomest man in the world and the other person is the world’s ugliest man, because that ugly man is a unique embodiment of truth.

God, the king of wisdom, continually creates eternal, individual embodiments of truth, through the process of origin-division-union action, in accordance with God’s Principle of Creation. In this we can discover the standard of absolute value that makes a human being human. As with the interdependent and harmonious relationship between flowers and butterflies, human beings were created to live for one another and share true love. This means that the human standard of absolute value is established only within a life of true love, when the relationship between subject and object partners blooms in harmony. Ladies and gentlemen, flowers and butterflies form relationships as subject and object partners. They depend on one another and prosper through their give-and-take action. In the same way, the Principle-of-Creation defines and predicts the course of relationships between humankind and nature, between people, and between God and human beings.

Thus, Mother Nature is the combined body of all the individual embodiments of truth in Creation, harmoniously bound together. Mother Nature stands as an absolute object-partner before human beings, her subject partners. Her ordained role, is to enable human beings to realize their absolute value.

In the same way, people establish families of three generations and live within that basic framework. There they learn and familiarize themselves with the vertical and horizontal relationships of above and below, left and right, and front and back. This means that each individual seeks a life of harmony and love, through give-and-take action within the relationships of subject and object partners. These relationships enable each family member to attain his or her absolute value as an individual embodiment of truth.

What about the relationship between God and human beings? As the Creator, God’s nature is absolute, unique, unchanging, and eternal. On (With) a closer look, however, we find that God stands in the subject position as He engages in reciprocating relationships with His Creation, within the sphere of the Principle-of-Creation that He established. That is because, although we think of God as the absolute being, He cannot feel joy, outside of the give-and-take relationships with His object partners.

Had Adam and Eve, the first human ancestors, not fallen but instead perfected themselves according to the Principle-of-Creation as individual embodiments of truth, people today would be manifesting our absolute value. We would serve God above as our Lord with absolute obedience, and we would relate with the Creation, the natural world, as our object partners, rejoicing in God’s eternal kingdom of peace. We would live as the citizens of the eternal kingdom of Heaven, not only on earth, but also in the spirit world.

Then how did human beings, created as the children of the all-knowing and almighty God, come to fall into such a state of ignorance? The first ancestors, Adam and Eve, followed the false parent, Satan, along the path of the Fall. Indeed, this is the first tragedy and the most dreadful and sorrowful shame in human history. God cannot forsake humankind. Within His grand ideal of Creation, human beings were created to be His children and absolute counterparts, in true love. Therefore, God has endured the long years of history with a heart full of bitter pain, grief, and anguish. God is the eternal True Parent of humanity, yet He has had to persevere through virtual imprisonment in the shadows of history. No one has known this reality.

~ The Limitations of the Pursuit of Peace,
Based on Human Effort Alone ~

Still, throughout history, people have applied their paltry, human efforts in pursuit of peace. Consider the confrontation between democracy and communism. Each side strove to achieve peace on its terms, but they were unable to resolve the core differences between them over questions of human rights, freedom, and equality. Yet, from the viewpoint of God’s providence, communism and democracy are like children who lost their parents; the two divided into the positions of Cain and Abel, respectively, and became entrapped in the chains of fraternal conflict. Human beings without exception are the children of Satan. Every person is born inheriting Satan’s lineage. Please reflect on your own experience for a moment. In every moment and every aspect of your daily life, are not good and evil at war within you, each trying to gain the upper hand? Since we are imperfect human beings, the peace movements we have carried out throughout history have always encountered limitations and met with failure. This is why the United Nations, launched with the splendid dream of realizing world peace, today has to confront its inherent limitations and confess that it can no longer give hope to humanity. Simply put, the UN was launched during the era prior to the time in which Heaven could be directly involved with the unfolding of God’s providence in history.
Ladies and gentlemen, by virtue of Reverend Moon’s devotion to the path of Heaven throughout the more than eighty years of his life, a new world is emerging. On this victorious foundation, the revolutionary era after the coming of heaven has been proclaimed. We are now living in the age of heavenly fortune, an age in which all people can be liberated and delivered from the quagmire of sin. It is the era in which the world of freedom and happiness, the ideal world as originally envisioned at the time of the Creation, can be established.

There are several clear reasons why Heaven designated the person standing before you, Reverend Moon, as the True Parent of humankind, and thereby opened up a new era.

First, I have succeeded in practicing the way of living for the sake of others. That is, throughout my life I have practiced the values of true love, emerged triumphant, and offered that triumph to humanity. All people are born to live for the sake of others. However, because of ignorance resulting from the Fall, people practice the complete opposite, selfish individualism. I revealed this secret of Heaven and this knowledge has been imparted to humankind for the first time in history. God is fully aware of the path my life has taken, through thick and thin.

Second, I have dedicated my life to overcoming all obstacles and laying a victorious foundation. Through the education provided by the actual practice of true love, I have fulfilled all the necessary conditions for recovering and establishing the parent-child relationship between God and humankind. I have opened the way for human beings, who had become the children of the adulterer Satan, the enemy of love, and who have lived as slaves to false love, false life, and false lineage, to be reborn and resurrected into the true lineage of God, the source of true love. In other words, I have opened wide the path for people to reach full spiritual maturity as individuals, and to establish true families, true clans, true peoples, true nations, and a true world, through their leading lives of true love.

~ The Mission of the Ambassadors for Peace ~

Ladies and gentlemen, as we make our way in the world, we find that, inevitably, many connections and relationships influence our lives. Most of these connections come about as a result of the choices we make and the circumstances in which we find ourselves. We make relationships that can be changed or erased through our own effort, whenever we like. On the other hand, heavenly relationships, which God bequeaths to us from the moment of our birth, lie outside the realm of choice. These fundamental and inescapable relationships are based on connections of blood. Even though you may dislike your parents or siblings, for example, you cannot change them by choice, or vote them out of office. This is because they are connected to you through ties of blood. Once you are born into the family with the surname Kim, you have to live forever as part of the lineage of the Kim family. What is the reason humankind has yet to escape from the snare of sin? It is because people are born with the false lineage of Satan. Yet that inheritance is not an innate blood-connection that Heaven bestows in accordance with the providential will and purpose. It is not based upon the (Divine) Principle. Rather, it is a connection that came about in violation of the (Divine) Principle. It was brought about by human error. Although human beings have been reduced to the position of orphans, who have lost their parents through the Fall, the fundamental relationship endowed by Heaven remains intact: God is our Parent and we are His children. As a result of the Fall, human beings became ignorant beings, as if living in a vegetative state, unable to recognize their own Parent even though He is right there within them and beside them. Therefore, all people, regardless of who they may be, belong to the fallen lineage. All people without exception must be born again, through changing their lineage. This is the only way we can be restored, into the originally intended blood relationship that God has bequeathed to us.

~ The Value of the Intercultural Marriage Blessing ~

Furthermore, the best way to restore people to the position of children of God through changing their lineage is through the cross-cultural (UC)-Marriage Blessing. This is a revolutionary happening, creating the heavenly lineage on a whole new level, transcending the walls of race, culture, nationality, and religion. It is an act that severs all links of enmity. It is the sacred rite of the change of lineage, through which all can be re-created through the True Parents. They are the King and Queen of Peace, the manifestations of God in substance, who enable Him to exercise His providence in the present world. Beloved Ambassadors for Peace, place your hand to your chest and ponder this question quietly in your heart: Is there any other way to deliver this world from the wars and antagonism we see around us? Is there a way more certain to create one global family, where there is no hatred between family members, than through cross-cultural marriages between enemy clans or, going one step further, between enemy nations?
Ladies and gentlemen, you each stand in the position of leaders representing the 1.2-million Ambassadors for Peace around the world, who are spearheading the revolutionary era after the coming of heaven. You are Heaven’s emissaries who must fulfill the dual missions of the "peace-kingdom police-force" and "peace-kingdom corps", which are responsible for ensuring the peace and happiness of humankind in the future. Therefore, Buddha, Confucius, Jesus, and Muhammad, as well as hundreds of generations of your ancestors, have mobilized to watch your every move. Your mission is now as plain as can be. First and foremost, you should declare to every member of your clan and to all your acquaintances, that the world has now entered the revolutionary era after the coming of heaven, the era for the establishment of God’s kingdom, which I call "Cheon Il Guk". You are responsible to educate them about the providence God is carrying out on the global level in this era, centering on the True Parents.

Furthermore, you should teach them without fail that the cross-cultural (UC)-Marriage Blessing is the ultimate means to establish the peaceful, ideal world here on earth, and guide the people of your families and clans, and the Korean people, to join the holy ranks of those who receive the cross-cultural (UC)-Marriage Blessing. Ladies and gentlemen, it is truly regrettable that you cannot sense with your own eyes this precious, revolutionary era after the coming of heaven. It has never been seen before and will never again be repeated. The reason for this is that you are relying only on your five physical senses. I hope that you will open your five spiritual senses as quickly as possible, so that you may clearly perceive how the providence of Heaven is unfolding in this era. You live in the era of heavenly fortune, which you have received without giving anything on your part. Yet please bear in mind that the providential timetable, which proceeds according to an absolute standard, will not wait for you indefinitely.

Now the time has come for you to unite into one as the representatives of the Ambassadors for Peace who have preserved the spirit of the Korean people and the pride of the "white-clad race". There is no time to waste. What does it matter whether your name is Kim or Pak? Is there any reason for Gyeongsang Province and Jeolla Province not to harmoniously unite? The pro-Seoul "Korean Residents’ Union" in Japan [Mindan] and the pro-Pyongyang "General Association of Korean Residents" in Japan [Chochongryon] each have their roots in the same Korean Peninsula. What of South and North Korea? Aren’t we all brothers and sisters, sharing a common lineage? At this time, we should bear in mind that we are the descendants of the "white-clad race", and of Heaven. We have been raised to establish the lofty ideal of advancing the welfare of humankind, and we are the kinsfolk of a people called, selected, and anointed by God, to stand at the forefront of building the peace kingdom in this, the revolutionary era after the coming of heaven. We should seek out and establish "God’s kingdom and His righteousness", for it is everyone’s ultimate destination to live in a nation that serves and attends God as its center. What is meant by "God’s kingdom"? It signifies the kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world. It is a nation that resembles the form of a model, true family, with three generations living together in harmony, trusting, respecting, and supporting one another and becoming one in love. In short, it is the nation that humanity has longed for throughout the ages, the utopia where God is sovereign.

Then what is meant by "His righteousness"? It signifies the heavenly way and heavenly rule. Each of us on earth has been commanded to pass judgment, with the heavenly authority (parental-love status) of true love, upon this evil world that suffers under scheming, treacherous regimes. It is our duty to establish the ideal, peaceful world of true love, a liberated, free world based on justice and truth. After all, humanity is meant to become one family. The remarkable advances of modern science are contributing greatly to making this world one global village. The time has come, to establish the beautiful kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world, where Whites and Blacks, and Orientals and Westerners, live together in harmony as one great family.

~ The Emergence of the Universal Peace Federation ~

During this time of transition, the Universal Peace Federation and the Mongolian Peoples’ Federation that I have founded will play important roles. The Universal Peace Federation (UPF) will now stand in the Abel position to the existing United Nations. It will not be an arena of competition, such as that which exists between the member nations and departments of the UN. Instead, it will carry out a historic revolution for the peace and welfare of humanity, on a pan-global and universal level. Unlike the UN, which focuses on slogans and outward appearances, UPF will work on a more fundamental and substantial level, to fulfill a messianic mission that is genuinely beneficial to humankind.
Peace-loving Ambassadors for Peace! The Mongolian race, making up 74-percent of the world’s population, is the largest racial group in the world. We should inspire all five billion of them, and generate a climate of true love on this planet.

You and I were born on the Korean Peninsula; we share the same cultural background. You are the peace ambassadors and special envoys of Heaven who are conveying my teachings and educating others to establish exemplary families through true love, true life, and true lineage. You who have become Ambassadors for Peace must now go forward with the conviction and dignity of a prophet that comes with Heaven’s truth, having no fear of the path of death. Go out as Heaven’s special envoys, and God will certainly grant you eternal life. The Mongolian birthmark, which we all have in common, is not merely a physical mark of the Mongolian race. It is the mark given by Heaven to the Tong-yi tribes(*1) long ago, ("Tong-yi", [tawng-yee], is a term used long ago in China to refer to certain Far East Asian peoples such as those on the Korean peninsula.), to function as the sign by which the True Parents would inspire and unite all humanity, with the arrival of the revolutionary era after the coming of heaven. Furthermore, the Korean race, standing at the center of the Mongolian peoples, are the chosen people that should stand in the forefront of the 6.5-billion people of the world, and fulfill its mission to pass on (the) True Parents’ tradition on their behalf.

Please do not forget that the peaceful, ideal world, which God envisioned at the time of creation, and which He desired when He created humankind, is now being built right before your eyes. If this is not a miracle, then what is? All over the world, the couples who were joined in cross-cultural (UC)-Marriage Blessings are putting down the roots of God’s true love. The new, heavenly lineage is bearing fruit. The day draws near when this beautiful earth will become the original Garden of Eden, where we will enjoy everlasting peace and happiness. Surely our descendants will, for innumerable generations, shout "Hallelujah for God’s kingdom of Cheon Il Guk!".

May the great blessings and the grace of God be with you, your families, and the Korean people.
Thank you.

(*1) "Tong-yi" is a term long ago used in China to refer to certain Far East Asian peoples such as those on the Korean peninsula

PEACE MESSAGE 12

GOD’S IDEAL FAMILY AND THE
RESPONSIBILITY THE CITIZENS OF
CHEON IL GUK ARE CALLED TO FULFILL
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is the speech Rev. Dr. Sun Myung Moon gave at the True Parents’ Birthday celebration (which was also Dr. Moon’s "Misoo" -- his 88th birthday by Korean counting), at Cheon Jeong Peace Palace in Korea, on February 23, 2007.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Respected Ambassadors for Peace, leaders from all walks of life, distinguished guests from home and abroad, and beloved Blessed (UC-married) families:
First of all, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all of you for your efforts to realize peace for all humanity, and especially for your support of the Universal Peace Federation. As you may know, after the coronation ceremonies at which I was acknowledged as the King of Peace, held both in a United-States-Senate office-building and at the Korean National Assembly in 2004, I founded the Universal Peace Federation in New York City on September 12, 2005. On the foundation of those victories, on June 13 of this year, we held the Entrance Ceremony of the Cheon Jeong Peace Palace and the Coronation Ceremony of the True Parents as the King and Queen of Peace in Heaven and on Earth. These were each steps towards the establishment of the substantial kingdom of heaven on earth, which in Korean, I call Cheon Il Guk.
Ladies and gentlemen, immediately after the inauguration of the Universal Peace Federation, I embarked on a world speaking-tour that took me to 120 nations. My wife, Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon, inherited the victory of that first world tour and went on successfully to complete a 180-nation tour, declaring God’s message in the capacity of the True Parents. Through this tour, which took her around the entire world over the past six months, she and our sons worked together seamlessly, fulfilling the providence of mother-son cooperation. She, as a true parent, accompanied by true children declared the Word and officiated together with them over the World-Peace Blessing-(UC-marriage)-Ceremony. Through this, she restored and offered to Heaven the realm of the lineage and the realm of Cain and Abel unity, both of which had been lost by Eve, the mother of the first human-family.

Ladies and gentlemen, August 20th of this year was the twenty-first anniversary of my release from Danbury prison in the United States, which was the last of six unjust incarcerations I have had to endure during my lifetime. My release on that day signified victory over imprisonment on the worldwide level, and the attainment of the realm of liberation and complete, inner freedom. To commemorate that significant day, and to welcome and congratulate my wife on returning from her just-completed, world speaking-tour, I hosted a global-level peace-rally in Korea. More than thirty-thousand core leaders, representing 1.2 million Ambassadors for Peace, and leaders in 120 nations, gathered and strengthened their resolve to realize world peace.

Now, on the foundation of the success of that providential event, I am traveling to every corner of the world with three generations of True Parent's(genetic) family, in the capacity of "The King of Peace in Heaven and on Earth", to proclaim this message. It contains the secrets of Heaven, which God has sent down to humankind in this era, after the coming of heaven.
Distinguished leaders, can you sense the intense heart with which I am taking up this world tour? As I approach my eighty-eighth year, I do not know when or where I might collapse along the way. I have already put my life on the line to embark on this world tour, and it may be that it will be my last. I am revealing the secrets of Heaven. These might be the last words that the True Parent, who appeared with Heaven’s seal, leaves to humanity. I sincerely ask that you open your hearts and engrave these words of Heaven upon them. May you have the wisdom to uphold these words as the standard for your life and pass them on to your family and clan, your descendants, and the people in your community.
Ladies and gentlemen, my speech for today again has the title "God’s Ideal Family and the Kingdom of the Peaceful, Ideal World", as it is a summary of the message from Heaven that I conveyed to the 6.5-billion people of the world during the past year. It is to remind you once again of your role and mission as seen from the viewpoint of God’s providence, and of the importance of the time in which you are living.

~ The Emergence of the Universal Peace Federation ~

Ladies and gentlemen, throughout history, people have worked continuously for peace, based upon human effort alone. Consider the confrontation between democracy and communism. Outwardly, the difference between the two was the extent to which they recognized and insured individual rights and freedoms. Yet, from the viewpoint of God’s providence, communism and democracy were like children who had lost their parents; the two divided into the positions of Cain and Abel respectively, and became trapped in the shackles of fraternal conflict. Throughout history, peace movements inevitably reached their limit and ended in failure because imperfect human beings carried them out. This is why the United Nations, although launched with the splendid dream of realizing world peace, today has to admit its inherent limitations and confess that it can no longer give hope to humanity. This is simply because the UN was launched during the era prior to the time when God could directly govern the unfolding of His providence in history. Now, however, it is entirely possible for the Universal Peace Federation to fulfill its mission, to unite heaven and earth and form the kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world. That is because it represents God’s victory and the fruit of the True Parents’ blood, sweat, and tears. Therefore, the Universal Peace Federation is the world’s cherished hope. It will carry out the role of an “Abel-type” counterpart to the existing “Cain-type” United Nations, and renew the UN, providing leadership for a new sovereignty of universal peace, which I call Cheon Il Guk. Therefore, please bear in mind that you leaders from around the world are being given the heavenly mission to build God’s substantial homeland, the ideal world of God’s creation.

~ God’s Purpose of Creation ~

Respected leaders from around the world, what do you think is God’s ultimate purpose for creating human beings? Simply put, it is to experience joy through relating with ideal families (that are) filled with true love. What does an ideal family look like? When God first created human beings, He made Adam representing all men, and Eve representing all women, with the intention that they become owners of true love. Then what was the quickest way for them to cultivate a character of true love? Simply put, it was to secure a parent–child relationship with God, whereby they could live in attendance to God as their Father, and form a model family embodying God’s ideal of peace. They were to have followed the path of living as one family with God, experiencing joy eternally. God created Adam and Eve and established them as the first ancestors of humankind, to form the model family and establish the ideal of peace. He committed Himself completely to raising them as His son and daughter, joined with Him through true love, true life, and true lineage.
Therefore, if Adam and Eve had achieved individual perfection in accordance with God’s will -- that is, if they had achieved the perfection of their character and entered into conjugal relations through His (marriage) Blessing -- they would have attained complete oneness with Him. God would have dwelt within their union. Their children would also have been linked to this holy order of love, and (would have) enjoyed a direct relationship with God as their Parent. In other words, the marriage of the perfected Adam and Eve would have been God’s own marriage. While God is forever God, Adam and Eve were, (in addition), meant to become His incarnations. Adam and Eve would have become God’s body, and God would have settled inside their minds and hearts, to become the True Parent of humankind in both the spiritual and physical worlds.

~ The Importance of Lineage ~

Do you know what has pained God’s heart most, causing Him the greatest grief over the long history since the Fall of Adam and Eve? God lost His lineage, and with that, God lost the basis of human brotherhood and even His ownership over the creation. God’s lineage is more precious than life itself. Without it, the fruits of true life and true love never matured. They became instead the fruits of Satan, lacking any relationship with Heaven. From them, descended the 6.5-billion people now populating the earth.
Ladies and gentlemen, lineage is more important than life and more precious than love. Life and love come together to create lineage. Lineage cannot be established if either life or love is missing. Therefore, among the three -- love, life, and lineage -- lineage is the fruit. God’s lineage contains the seed of true love. God’s lineage provides the context and environment for a true life.

Hence, for us to become the ideal people envisioned by God, that is, people of ideal character, and to create ideal families, we first need to be linked to His lineage. To take it a step further, only when we are linked to God’s lineage is it possible to create God’s homeland, the ideal nation. Only when we are linked to God’s lineage is it possible to establish the kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world.

Please inscribe the importance of lineage in your hearts. I cannot emphasize this enough. This is because the parent-child relationship is the highest and most important of all relationships, and the lineal relationship between parent and child is the only way through which God’s lineage can be bequeathed and made to last forever. You must be clear on this point. However, it is false love, false life, and false lineage that have infested the earth. God’s love, life and lineage fell into the hands of the adulterer Satan, the enemy of love. Heaven and earth have been suffocated and transformed into hell. The world became a wretched place, far from God’s presence. Yet, humanity to this day lives in ignorance of this. People are deluded into believing that the lineage of the enemy is the lifeline upon which the world depends. This is the wretched truth, about humankind descended from the Fall. That is why we refer to this world as "hell on earth". God views humanity’s tragic situation with a heart full of pain.

Furthermore, when, due to the Fall, Satan gained control of the realm of lineage, he also usurped the right of the elder-son, and the right of ownership. God is like a father who worked and sweated his entire life, to accumulate assets for his children, only to have a thief steal everything in one night. Who can comprehend the sorrowful, painful heart of God? God lost His lineage, lost His children, and was forced to hand over the ownership of the nations and (of the) world, to Satan. However, the life of Reverend Moon, whose task it is to complete the mission of the True Parents, has been one of sorrow, marked by inexpressible suffering and persecution. The third Adam, the True Parent, needs to indemnify and completely reverse all the failures of the first and second Adams. His task is to complete not only the mission of the Savior, Messiah, and Lord at his Second Coming, but also the missions of all those major figures on whom religions are based. With similarities to the process of God’s creation of the universe, his life has constituted the great work of the re-creation of humankind, where not even the smallest error is permitted. It has been a lonely course that cannot be fully comprehended by anyone. It has been a course that took him down thorny paths through the wilderness—paths that he had to follow, while utterly alone. Not even God could acknowledge him. Hovering many times between life and death, even vomiting blood, he still had to rise again like a phoenix, to remain true to his promise to God.

Though he was innocent, Reverend Moon has had to endure unjust imprisonment six times: for working in the underground independence-movement when he was studying in Japan in his early days; for propagating the will of God in Pyongyang, which was under communist rule immediately after Korea’s independence; during the Syngman Rhee administration after Korea had been reborn as a free nation; and, furthermore, even in the United States, which proudly presents itself to the world as a model of democracy. Who on earth can understand the life of Reverend Moon? His has been a life of misery; by biting his tongue he has endured for the sake of comforting God, and for the salvation of the fallen people of the world, who are suffering in the realm of death. Even now, if someone were to look into my heart and speak one word of sympathy, I would burst into tears, and my tears would flow like a waterfall. There is only one way to recover the realm of lineage, the right of the elder son, and the right of ownership. This is the path to win the natural subjugation (winning over) of Satan, to have Satan surrender voluntarily. What is the secret to accomplish this? It is only by the power of true love, when we love our enemies more than we love our own children.
Distinguished former and current heads of state, guests from home and abroad who love peace and who have come from every corner of the earth to celebrate and commemorate this day:
First of all, my wife, Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon, our entire family, and I, would like to welcome you all to this occasion. We would like to express our sincere gratitude for your efforts on the front line in fulfilling your mission of advancing the Universal Peace Federation (UPF) and (of) realizing peace for all humanity.

As you may know, following the coronation ceremonies at which I was acknowledged as the King of Peace -- held both in a United States Senate office building and at the Korean National Assembly, in 2004 -- I founded the Universal Peace Federation in New York City on September 12, 2005. On the foundation of those victories, on June 13, 2006, we held the Entrance Ceremony for the Cheon-Jeong Peace-Palace and the Coronation Ceremony of the True Parents as the King and Queen of Peace in Heaven and on Earth. These were each steps toward the establishment of the substantial kingdom of heaven on earth, Cheon Il Guk. Heaven’s providence is progressing rapidly each day. In its course for the establishment of Cheon Il Guk, a day can feel like a thousand years, and a thousand years can feel like a single day.
Distinguished world leaders, this year, 2007, the seventh year of Cheon Il Guk, is a jubilee year in the providence. In this holy year, today is also a meaningful day, because by the Korean way of reckoning, it is my own eighty-eighth birthday, as well as the sixty-fifth birthday of my wife, Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon.

To commemorate this day and to renew our resolve, I would like to give you a message. It summarizes Heaven’s message that my wife, the three generations of the (genetic) True Family, and I, have been passing on to the 6.5-billion people of the world over the past two years. My purpose is to remind you once again of your position and mission from the viewpoint of God’s providence, and to reemphasize the significance of the era in which we live. The title of this message is “God’s Ideal Family and the Responsibility the Citizens of Cheon Il Guk Are Called to Fulfill”.

~ God’s Purpose of Creation ~

Respected leaders from around the world, what do you think is God’s ultimate purpose for creating human beings? It is to experience joy through the perfection of ideal families (that are) filled with true love. What does an ideal family look like? Simply put, an ideal family is the model for absoluteness and peace. Its members have secured a parent–child relationship with God, and can live attending God as their parent. God created Adam and Eve and installed them as the first ancestors of humankind, with the intention that they form an ideal family that is the model for absoluteness and peace. He committed Himself fully to raising them as His son and daughter, to be encapsulations of the entire cosmos, mediators between the spiritual and physical worlds, and lords of creation who would be joined with Him through true love, true life, and true lineage.

~ Absolute Sexual-Morality and Conjugal-Love ~

Ladies and gentlemen, Adam and Eve were meant to establish a model, ideal family of peace. God, the absolute being, created human beings as His children, in order to instill in them absolute values, which spring from an absolute standard. Thus, human beings must follow the path of that unchanging standard in keeping with the demands of the heavenly way. This means we must follow our destined life-course, in order to attend God, our eternal parent. In other words, for us to perfect ourselves in resembling God, and to obtain the stature of people of character who can be called the sons and daughters of the eternal God, we must follow the path based on the unwavering standard God has determined. The essence of this path is the standard of absolute sexual-purity.
The first stage is maintaining absolute sexual-purity, prior to getting married. After we are born, we go through a process of growth. We pass through infancy and childhood in a very safe and secure environment under our parents’ love and protection. We then enter the period of adolescence, which signals the start of a new and dynamic life. This is the moment when we begin to travel the path to becoming a mature human being, internally, through the perfection of our character, and externally, by reaching adulthood. During this time there is a strict requirement that everyone must fulfill, no matter who we are. That requirement is maintaining our purity.
The second stage is establishing the model of absoluteness in conjugal love, between husband and wife. This heavenly law of total marital-fidelity is more precious than life itself. Husband and wife are eternal partners, given to each other by God. Through having children, they become the co-creators of true love, true life, and true lineage, and the origin of that which is absolute, unique, unchanging, and eternal.

How could people who preserve their purity before marriage, and whom God bonds together in purity as husband and wife, ever deviate from the heavenly way and go astray, following a wrong path?

Ladies and gentlemen, absolute and sacred conjugal-love is the greatest blessing that Heaven has bestowed on humankind. Yet, without adhering to the principle of absolute sexual-morality, the path to the perfection of one’s character -- to spiritual maturity -- is closed. Furthermore, without securing the foundation of absolute sexual-purity within a true family of perfected individuals, it is impossible for God to manifest with dignity as the incarnate God of character.

Therefore, if Adam and Eve had achieved individual perfection -- the perfection of their character -- by upholding the strict principle of sexual purity in accordance with God’s will, and then entered into conjugal relations through His Holy (marriage) Blessing, they would have attained complete oneness with Him. God would have dwelt within their union. Their children would have also been linked to this holy order of true love, and enjoyed a direct relationship with God as their parent.

~ The Attributes of True Love ~

What is true love? Its essence does not lie in receiving, but in being the first to give, in living for the sake of others and for the sake of the larger whole. True love gives, forgets that it has given, and continues to give without ceasing. True love gives joyfully. We find it in the joyful and loving heart of a mother who cradles her baby in her arms and nurses it at her breast. True love is sacrificial love, as with a devoted son who finds his greatest satisfaction in dedicating his mind and body to helping his parents. When we are bound together in true love, we can be together forever, continually rejoicing in each other’s company. The attraction of true love brings all things in the universe to our feet; even God will come to dwell with us. Nothing can compare to the value of true love. It has the power to dissolve the barriers (that) fallen human beings have created, including national boundaries, the barriers between races, and even those between religions. The main attributes of God’s true-love are that it is absolute, unique, unchanging, and eternal. Thus, whoever practices true love will live with God, share His happiness, enjoy the right to participate as an equal in His work, and gain the right of inheritance. Therefore, a life lived for the sake of others, a life of true love, is the absolute precondition for entering the kingdom of heaven.

~ The Kingdom of Heaven and True Love ~

Ladies and gentlemen, what kind of place is the kingdom of heaven? In brief, the heavenly kingdom is a world overflowing with God’s true-love. True love is its axis. True love is everywhere, in outward expression, as well as in inward (internal) thought. Everyone’s life is filled with true love, from beginning to end. In the kingdom of heaven, people are born through true love, live in the embrace of true love, and follow the track of true love until the day they pass on into the next world, the spirit world. The kingdom of heaven is a natural world where all people live for the sake of one another. Consequently, antagonism and envy cannot be found anywhere in that world. It is a world that is not governed by money, position (prestige), or power. There, the success of every person represents the success of the whole, the likes of every person represent the likes of the whole, and the joy of every person represents the joy of the whole. The kingdom of heaven is a world filled with the air of true love, where everyone breathes true love. Its life throbs with love, everywhere and all the time. The citizens of that kingdom are all linked together through their common membership of God’s lineage. There, the whole world and all its people are connected in an inseparable relationship, like the cells in our bodies. True love, the love that is God’s essence, is Heaven’s only governing power. Accordingly, God also exists for true love.

~ The Importance of Lineage ~

Do you know what has pained God’s heart most, causing Him the greatest grief over the long history since the Fall of Adam and Eve? God lost His lineage, and with that, God lost the basis of human brotherhood and even His ownership over the creation. God’s lineage is more precious than life itself. Yet, this was lost. Without it, the fruits of true life and true love never matured.

Ladies and gentlemen, lineage is more important than life, and more precious than love. Life and love come together to create lineage. Lineage cannot be established if either life or love is missing. Therefore, among the three -- love, life, and lineage -- lineage is the fruit. God’s lineage contains the seed of true love. God’s lineage provides the context and environment for a true life. Hence, for us to become the ideal people envisioned by God, that is, people of ideal character, and to create ideal families, we first need to be linked to His lineage. To take it a step further, only when we are linked to God’s lineage is it possible to create God’s homeland, the ideal nation.
Please inscribe the importance of lineage in your hearts. I cannot emphasize this enough. This is because the parent-child relationship is the highest and most important of all relationships, and the only way through which His lineage can be bequeathed and made to last forever. You must be clear on this point.

~ The International and Cross-cultural Marriage-Blessing ~

Distinguished ladies and gentlemen, our bondage to the lineage of Satan has caused so much suffering throughout history. Let us now boldly step forward to sever it and be engrafted to the root of the lineage of the True Parents. Why should we foolishly continue to live and die as wild olive trees? Where can we find the path to escape this vicious cycle? It is through the Holy (UC-marriage) Blessing. The Holy (UC-marriage) Blessing Ceremony offers the grace of being grafted onto the true olive tree. It was instituted by the True Parents, who bring God’s true lineage to humankind. Without changing your lineage, you cannot change your seed. The best way to restore people to the position of children of God through changing their lineage is through the cross-cultural Marriage-Blessing. These marriages contribute to the great task of transcending the barriers of race, culture, nationality, ethnicity, and religion, and to creating one family of humankind. It is a revolutionary occasion, creating the heavenly lineage on a completely new level, transcending the obstacles of race, culture, nationality, and religion. It is an act that severs all links of enmity. It is the sacred rite of the change of lineage, through which everyone can be re-created through the True Parents. They are the King and Queen of Peace, the manifestations of God in substance, who enable Him to exercise His providence in the present world. The path is open wide for all people to change their lineage through the Holy-Wine Ceremony that the True Parents have instituted. The Holy (UC-marriage) Blessing is yours, that you may establish true families. The responsibility you are called to fulfill is to teach others, without fail, that the perfection of a life of absolutely pure sexuality, through the cross-cultural Marriage-Blessing, is the ultimate means and method to establish a peaceful, ideal world here on earth.

~ A Family of Three Generations Living in Harmony ~

Ladies and gentlemen, the family sets the pattern for living together. The warm environment of oneness -- based on love and respect between parents and children -- mutual fidelity and love between husband and wife -- and trust and mutual reliance among siblings -- is the manifestation of the model, ideal family of peace. This means that you need to establish a true family, wherein the stem of true love emerges from the root of true love and bears the fruit of true love. In this manner, the three generations of grandparents, parents, and children should live together as one family, and serve the eternal God. God desires to see such families, and it is your responsibility, as tribal messiahs and ambassadors-for-peace, to strive for and establish them -- families of Cheon Il Guk, (which is) the kingdom of God.

Ladies and gentlemen, you should form families that God will miss and yearn to return to, after He has been away. He should feel comfortable to visit your home like any parent coming to visit his or her children. This is what it means to live in service to God. Within such a family, God is the vertical subject-partner of your conscience, and your conscience is the vertical subject-partner of your body. Thus, unity with God brings your mind and body into harmony.

Family members who have established that vertical axis can perfect the four realms of love and heart -- parental love, conjugal love, children’s love, and siblings’ love. That family links all directions -- up and down, front and rear, right and left. They revolve around each other in everlasting, spherical motion. This is God’s eternal, model ideal-family, which expands to ideal, model nations, and (to) a peaceful, ideal kingdom.
This means we need a movement to realize a society of interdependence, mutual prosperity, and universally shared values. We need to make humanity one great family, by breaking down the walls in our hearts, and eliminating even the boundaries between nations. This movement begins from each family. If only the entire world were filled with such true families! It would be an orderly world where people (would) govern themselves by the heavenly way (path) and heavenly laws, with no need for lawyers, prosecutors, or even judges.

Who would be most fully aware of your good and bad deeds? It would be your grandparents, your parents, your spouse, and your children. Is there anything that cannot be resolved within the family? When parents and children, husband and wife, and elder and younger siblings (all) set an example of living for the sake of one another, how could they do anything unforgivable? What reason would they have, to commit crimes? A world governed by the heavenly way and the heavenly laws is a natural world, an unobstructed world of truth and pure reason. It is a world at the “high noon” of absolute values, where there are no dark shadows. Therefore, each of us should bear in mind that it is our providential calling to establish a true family. This is the way we can expedite the establishment of the universal peace-kingdom on earth.

~ The Dual Structure, of Human Beings and the Spirit World ~

Viewing the structure of a human being from another angle, we can perceive that God created us as entities with dual characteristics. He created our physical bodies as miniatures of the corporeal, tangible world, and (He created) our spiritual bodies as representatives of -- and lords of -- the incorporeal world. Accordingly, it is intended that we live for a hundred years or so in the physical world, and then pass on naturally and automatically into the incorporeal spirit world, once the physical body ceases to function.

In this way, though it cannot be perceived by our physical eyes, the spirit world is the automatic and inevitable extension of our lives on earth, (and is) humanity’s eternal, original homeland, created by God.

The spirit world does actually exist. It is not a world that has been fantasized or imagined into existence. We do not have the right of choice, concerning it. It is not a world we can go to if we please, or refuse to go to if we would rather not. Just as God is eternal and unchanging, the spirit world He created is also eternal and unchanging. In like manner to our living in the physical world in our physical bodies and forming all sorts of relationships with the existing world, even in the spiritual world we are destined to go on living in our spiritual bodies, and to form and maintain close relationships with all the phenomena of the spirit world.

~ Life on Earth Is for the Perfection of the Spirit Self ~

In the relationship between a person’s spirit and physical body, the spirit is the more important of the two. The physical body lasts for about a hundred years before it ceases to function, but the spirit lives forever, transcending time and space.

No matter how well you fare in this earthly world, you are bound to die. Therefore, before you pass on to the next world, you should achieve harmony between your spirit and physical body, by living your earthly life in such a way that you meet the standards of both the physical and spiritual worlds. In other words, you are called to take up the responsibility of perfecting your spiritual self within your physical body, based on the finite life you live in the tangible, physical world.

This does not mean, however, that the perfection of your spiritual self happens automatically. Only on the basis of your having fully united your mind and body during your earthly life, by expressing true love through your actions, can your spiritual self fully mature. While living on earth, your every action and movement -- without exception -- is recorded on your spirit self, with the public laws of heaven as the standard. Accordingly, you will enter the spirit world as your spirit self, on which your earthly life is recorded with 100-percent precision. Your spirit will show plainly whether you have led a ripe life of goodness, or a wormy, rotten life of sinfulness. What this means is that God will not judge you; you will be your own judge.

~ The Life Course of the True Parent ~

Ladies and gentlemen, my life for the past eighty-eight years (has) been one of sorrow, marked by inexpressible suffering and persecution. As the third Adam, the True Parent, I need to indemnify and completely reverse all the failures of the first and second Adams. I am responsible to complete not only the mission of the Savior, the Messiah, and the Lord at his Second Coming, but also the missions of all those major figures from whom religions have sprung.

Bearing similarities to God’s creation of the universe, my life has constituted the great work of the re-creation of humanity, where not even the smallest error is permitted. It has been a lonely course that cannot be discussed with anyone. It is one that took me down thorny paths through the wilderness—paths that I had to follow while utterly alone. Not even God could acknowledge me. Frequently, hovering in a state between life and death, even vomiting blood, I still had to rise again like a phoenix, to remain true to my promise to God and establish the model of the ideal family and of absolute sexual-purity.

I had to endure imprisonment six times, though I was innocent: for working in the underground, (Korean) independence-movement in my early days while studying in Japan; for propagating the will of God in Pyongyang, which was under communist control immediately after Korea’s independence from colonial rule; during the Syngman Rhee administration after Korea had been reborn as a free nation; and even in the United States, which proudly presents itself to the world as a model of democracy. Who on earth can understand my eventful life, which has been for the sake of perfecting the model of absoluteness in conjugal love?

Mine has been a life of misery; by biting my tongue, I have endured for the sake of our God, who deserves pity, and for the sake of the salvation of the world’s fallen people, who are suffering in the realm of death. Even now, if someone were to look into my heart and speak just one word of sympathy, I would burst into tears and my tears would flow like a waterfall.

Ladies and gentlemen, once someone becomes an old man of eighty-eight, he would normally look back on his life and quietly prepare to enter the next world. Yet, my life begins from now.

It is not because I have many lingering attachments to this life. It is because I still have yet to fulfill the mission for which I received my call as the True Parent -- to save people, who are suffering in the fallen realm, unable to escape from it.

Now the revolutionary era after the coming of heaven, the time of harvest, has arrived. This year, I will continue to guide you in carrying out this universal revolution for the restoration of humanity. Please do not hesitate! Let us hold hands and together uphold the heavenly decree in fulfilling our calling and responsibility! How can we avert our eyes from the situation in which tens-of-thousands of our brothers and sisters are dying helplessly, while waiting for salvation?

~ The Advent of the Era of the Peaceful, Ideal Kingdom ~

Leaders who love peace! You are now living in the most blessed and exalted time in history. We are in the era after the coming of heaven! I proclaim the beginning of the long awaited new heaven and new earth, which billions of your ancestors in the spirit world, who have come and gone in history, have yearned for. This is the era of the kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world. The four great religious-founders, and billions of good ancestors, have come to earth to guide you on the blessed path of heaven. The age when the fallen and corrupt world wreaks havoc on humanity, allowing evil people to live better than others, is passing away. The Universal Peace Federation, which stands as the “Abel-type” UN on the universal level, will work toward a peaceful, ideal world -- the eternal ideal God has cherished for the Creation -- while renewing the existing “Cain-type” UN. UPF will provide the leadership for this new dimension, the kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world.

Born through our concerted efforts, UPF represents God’s victory and the fruit of the True Parents’ blood, sweat, and tears. It is the cherished hope of all people. It will carry out the role of an “Abel-type” peace-kingdom representing a new sovereignty of universal peace known in Korean as Cheon Il Guk, a counterpart to the existing “Cain-type” UN.

~ Our Mission in the Era after the Coming of Heaven ~

The era after the coming of heaven that God and True Parents have begun, is a time of dramatic change. You have the mission to make this era blossom and bear fruit in blessing and glory.

I have said that in this age we must recover the true lineage that was lost when Adam fell, by receiving the Marriage Blessing through the True Parents. The providence of the Marriage Blessing should be perfected in five stages -- the individual, the family, the tribe, the race, and the nation.

This is the time when, metaphorically speaking, the sun is directly overhead, such that no shadow is cast (no dark secrets can be kept). This signifies that we have passed through the era before the coming of heaven, which included the Old, New, and Completed-Testament ages. These eras have required immeasurable restitution and atonement, in order to re-create the ideal. The present time, however, corresponds to the era, prior to Adam’s Fall, of building the original, ideal world. It refers to the era of true love that is all-encompassing, all-powerful, and has overall authority (parental-love status). It is the realm of heart in which the spiritual and physical worlds are bound together as a unified realm, with True Parents, the King and Queen of Peace, at the center. In other words, it is the time of the kingdom of peace and unity, in heaven and on earth. Ladies and gentlemen, your mission and position have been made clear. I have explained that within the realm of God’s grace, through the True Parents the way is laid out for all people to change their lineage through the Holy-Wine Ceremony, to receive the Holy (UC-marriage) Blessing and establish true families. The ultimate way to establish a peaceful, ideal world here on earth is to perfect a life that embraces absoluteness in the marriage relationship through the cross-cultural Marriage Blessing. The cross-cultural (UC-marriage) Blessing is the grace by which you inherit Heaven’s lineage. You have come to know clearly that the mission for which God has called you is to unfailingly teach these things. Furthermore, as an heir and actual representative of the True Parents, you must now move beyond your concepts and level-of-awareness, to fulfill the responsibility for which you have been called. There is no time to lose. A fearful day of judgment will come if we fail to fulfill our calling -- the responsibility and mission that Heaven has given us in this era after the coming of heaven.

During the Entrance Ceremony for the Cheon-Jeong Peace-Palace and the Coronation Ceremony of the True Parents as the King and Queen of Peace in Heaven and (on) Earth, held on June 13th last year, I proclaimed the seven basic obligations and mission, based on the heavenly standard, for becoming a citizen of Cheon Il Guk. Please be victorious in fulfilling those basic obligations and mission.

Leaders from around the world, please become true princes and princesses who live in attendance of God as your true parent, for He is the Peace King of the multitudes. Let us build the kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world of the sacred reign of peace by attending True Parents, who have been enthroned as the King and Queen of Peace in Heaven and (on) Earth in the realm of eternal liberation and freedom -- where there is no need for the Savior, Messiah, nor Lord at his Second Advent -- and fulfill the dutiful way of a true, devoted child, a patriot, a saint, and a member of the family of God’s sons and daughters!

Let us establish a model ideal-family through which to bring the complete settlement of the ideal realm of liberation and complete inner-freedom in heaven and on earth, and of the peaceful kingdom of goodness in which we can enjoy a time of absolute, unique, unchanging, and eternal peace and prosperity, and which can become the homeland of peace, in heaven and on earth, that can be eternally praised!

May God’s blessings be upon your family, your nation and the world for all eternity!
Thank you.

PEACE MESSAGE 13

A PROVIDENTIAL VIEW OF THE PACIFIC-RIM ERA, IN LIGHT OF GOD'S WILL ---
THE UNITED STATES AND THE FUTURE DIRECTION OF THE UNITED NATIONS AND THE WORLD
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This speech was delivered by Rev. Dr. Sun Myung Moon on March 17th in the Seventh Year of Cheon Il Guk (2007), at the Hawaii King Garden, in Hawaii, USA.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Respected Ambassadors for Peace, and leaders from throughout the United States, including Hawaii, distinguished guests from Japan and Korea who have come from afar to honor this occasion with your presence, ladies and gentlemen! Together with my wife, Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon, and my family, I extend my heartfelt welcome to you all.

Ladies and gentlemen, my heart is intense and filled with emotion as I stand before you today. It is not because of the "Misoo", (mee-soo), celebrations being held around the world to commemorate my eighty- eighth birthday. Neither is it because, owing to the fact that I am as healthy as a young man, I am filled with the hope of living beyond my hundredth birthday.

The reason I am so serious, is (that) at the beginning of this year, 2007, (the seventh year of Cheon Il Guk), I declared a jubilee year in God’s providence, a jubilee year the likes of which God and humankind have never experienced in all the thousands of years of history. Heaven has greatly blessed this holy year.

God’s heart has been in pain throughout history because Satan’s dominion entrapped humankind within its evil sovereignty, in the shackles of the era before the coming of heaven. That time has finally come to an end, and, from this year on, the gates to the revolutionary era after the coming of heaven can be opened wide, ushering in the era of a new sovereignty of goodness, in which humanity can serve and attend God as the central being.

Without your being aware of it, Heaven’s providence has been expanding in extraordinary ways. Now, numerous Ambassadors for Peace in 185 nations have received my teachings and are working day and night in response to a special decree from God. Hence, today I would like to convey to you Heaven’s message, which is entitled, “A Providential View of the Pacific-Rim Era in Light of God’s Will: The United States and the Future Direction of the United Nations and the World.” This is a declaration of God’s plan for His dispensation and the direction humanity should take.

~ The Progress of Human History ~

Ladies and gentlemen, if you carefully examine the progress of history, you will undoubtedly discover God’s plan and sense His presence, as He tirelessly worked behind the scenes. Consider the history of civilization, which began centering on four of the world’s great rivers. We are familiar with the Egyptian civilization centered around the Nile River, the Mesopotamian civilization between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, the Indus civilization on the Indus River, and early-Chinese civilization centered around the Yellow River. Civilization shifted, over time, to the shores of the Mediterranean Sea where the Mediterranean peninsular civilizations flourished in Greece and Rome. History continued to progress, and the European, continental civilization emerged. This continental civilization in turn became the fertilizer for an island civilization, Great Britain, to flourish in the Atlantic sphere. The British Empire, which dominated the seven seas and wielded its might as "the empire on which the sun never sets", passed its splendid culture on to North America. We know these facts from history.

Civilization arrived on the North American continent and soon took on the armor of democracy, which was rooted in Christianity. This civilization raised the banner of the freedom of religion, and respect for equal human rights, in its struggle against communism, which sought to establish an atheistic sovereignty of evil. Through victories in the First and Second World Wars, and the third -- the Cold War -- it won victory over totalitarianism and communism. However, that victory does not simply mean that America is great, and the development of human civilization did not stop there. Victory came because God had chosen and raised the United States of America as the Second Israel, in accordance with His providential plan, and had raised and trained the American people through Christianity. God worked through America to bring His providence to its present stage of fruition.

Ladies and gentlemen, it is in the present time that the issue of the development of civilization becomes important. Civilization has completed a circuit of the entire globe and has now arrived in the Pacific sphere. Human history has now come to a point in the providence where it should conclude and reach fruition through the Pacific-Rim region.

No force can stop the providence now. Though there were both victories and defeats during the course-of-indemnity under the evil sovereignty in the era before (prior to) heaven, nothing could prevent the rise of the Pacific-Rim Era. Herein lies the special reason that Heaven declared this year to be a jubilee year.

~ Our Mission in the Pacific Rim Era ~

Ladies and gentlemen, the arrival of the Pacific-Rim Era signifies many things. What do you think the world would have been like, if Jesus had fulfilled the complete messianic-mission during his lifetime on earth? Jesus came as the Savior and Messiah, to save all of humanity. He did not come just to save the people of Israel, a small nation located on a corner of the Mediterranean Sea. At that time, Rome, based at the center of the Mediterranean, was the center of human civilization. Rome was ready to rule the seas. Heaven’s desire was that Jesus first teach and transform Rome, and then rule over her (with true love), in order to bring salvation to all humanity through the vehicle of Rome’s brilliant civilization. Yet, Jesus was cruelly put to death on the cross, as we know all too well through the biblical record.

After thousands of years of preparation, God finally was able to send Jesus to the earth as His only son. There is no way to fathom God’s heart as He anxiously watched Jesus’ each and every action. Jesus’ death was a tragedy that broke God’s heart. It brought Him anguish even more extreme than the time when Adam and Eve, whom He created as the first ancestors of humankind, were lost from the Garden of Eden due to the Fall.

During the two-thousand years since the cross, God, in the background of history, has walked a suffering path that is beyond human imagination. Through this course, He prepared the United States of America to serve as the nation of the Second Israel. As a Christian nation that includes Catholicism and Protestantism, as well as the Orthodox world, the United States’ mission is to bring harmony and unity to Christianity as soon as possible, and, in the twenty-first century, to fulfill the responsibility that had been the Roman Empire’s, but which was not realized in Jesus’ time. The responsibility, within God’s providence, to bring harmony and oneness among the world’s six-and-a-half-billion people and to expedite the creation of a peaceful, ideal world, is on America’s shoulders. These are not simply the words of Rev. Moon. This is Heaven’s decree.

Then how can we unify Christianity? God has already revealed the solution through me, Rev. Moon, the True Parent of humankind. God has given me the supreme command to practice a life of true love, to understand completely the reality of the spirit world to which we go after we die, and to establish a model, ideal family -- a true family.

Then what kind of love is true love? And what kind of family is a true family?

~ True Love and True Family ~

Ladies and gentlemen, God’s absolute true-love does not instill a desire to have one’s partner exist for one’s own sake. Rather, true love’s essence is giving, living for the sake of others, and for the sake of the whole. True love gives, forgets that it has given, and continues to give, without ceasing. True love gives joyfully. We find it in the joyful and loving heart of a mother who cradles her baby in her arms and nurses it at her breast. True love is sacrificial love, such as that of a devoted son who finds his greatest satisfaction in dedicating himself with all of his body and mind to helping his parents. When we are bound together in true love, we can be together forever, continually increasing in the joy of each other’s company. The attraction of true love brings all things in the universe to our feet; even God will come to dwell with us. Nothing can compare to the value of true love. It has the power to dissolve the barriers fallen people have created, including national boundaries and the barriers of race and even religion.

The main attributes of true love are that it is absolute, unique, unchanging, and eternal, so that whoever practices God’s true-love will live with God, share His happiness, and enjoy the right to participate as an equal in His work. Therefore, a life lived for the sake of others, a life of true love, is the absolute precondition for entering the kingdom of heaven.

The path is now wide open, for humanity to establish true families. The family sets the pattern for living together in harmony. The warm environment of oneness -- based on love and respect between parents and children -- mutual fidelity and love between husband and wife -- and trust and mutual reliance among siblings -- is the manifestation of the model, ideal family.

This means that you need to establish a true family, wherein the stem of true love emerges from the root of true love, and bears the fruit of true love. In this manner, the three generations of grandparents, parents, and children should live together as one family and serve the eternal God. God desires to see such families, and it is your responsibility as tribal messiahs and Ambassadors for Peace to seek after and establish them -- families of Cheon Il Guk, (which is) the kingdom of God.

You should form families that God will miss and yearn to return to after He has been away. You should raise families to which He can come freely as the Parent visiting His children. This is what it means, to live in service to God.

In such a family, God is the subject partner over your conscience, acting vertically. Following God as your vertical subject-partner, your mind stands in the position of vertical subject-partner over your body, bringing your mind and body into unity. That is where parental love, conjugal love, children’s love, and siblings’ love -- in short, the four realms of love, or the four realms of heart -- are perfected.

Only in such a family can the upper and lower, front and behind, left and right, be connected as one, and spherical motion ensue. This leads to God’s everlasting, model, ideal families and nations, and His peace kingdom. If only the entire world were filled with such true families! It would be an orderly world where people (would) govern themselves by the heavenly way (path) and heavenly laws, with no need for lawyers, prosecutors or even judges.

~ The Future of Humankind Is Rooted
in the Future of the Pacific-Rim Region ~

Peace-loving leaders from the Pacific-Rim region! -- Among the 6.5-billion people on the earth today, almost five billion are our neighbors, relatives, and brothers and sisters belonging to the Pacific-Rim region. In other words, many of us share the same root as the sphere of the Mongolian peoples. There is nothing we cannot do if we receive the Marriage Blessing and pull together, centering on God’s ideal for peace! The future of humanity is in our hands.

God’s providence has now spread from the North American continent, and has blossomed as an island civilization, the Japanese archipelago, which is in a position similar to that previously held by the United Kingdom. It is now about to fulfill its destiny, by coming to fruition on the Korean peninsula, the homeland of the True Parents who have emerged on the earth as the Savior of humanity and the returning Messiah(s). The Korean peninsula, which stands in a similar position to that of Rome in Jesus’ time, is regarded as an area of conflict between the sphere of the religions and the sphere of politics, which have the mission of resolving the world’s problems. From a geo-political point of view, the Korean peninsula is emerging as the arena of most intense confrontation despite the ongoing work to secure world peace.

The principles of restoration-through-indemnity dictate that civilization must bear fruit in the Pacific Rim region, centered on the Korean peninsula. Fortunately, during the Korean War, the UN forces, centering on the United States, were mobilized to the peninsula. Yet, they did not recover the homeland and hometown of God’s desire as they should have according to God’s will, and they left the job half done. As a result, global conflict and strife emerged, taking the name “the Cold War”, during which time people were deprived of their possessions and displaced, leading them to search for God. In order to make up for this through indemnity, I established the Universal Peace Federation (UPF) and then organized the “peace-kingdom corps” and the “peace-kingdom police-force,” comprising women on Heaven’s side who have received the (UC) Marriage Blessing, who love peace, and who are willing to serve and sacrifice for the work of UPF. I have taken the lead in educating those involved with these organizations. As the peace organizations that stand in the forefront of actualizing a world of peace with God at its center, they will create the peaceful, ideal world that God desires. You may not be aware of this, but I have been assisting the Six-Party Talks now being held for the sake of resolving the nuclear crisis on the Korean peninsula, and reconciling the democratic nations with the communist nations. I am presenting a solution based on the principles of peace and harmony rooted in the new ideology with the Heavenly Father at its center. At such intense times, what exactly should be the role of America and the United Nations? Hawaii in the Pacific, and Norfolk on the Atlantic, bridge East and West, link North and South, and represent the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, and all the great oceans of the world. With the support and protection of the American continent, the Korean Peninsula should protect and defend the Pacific-Rim region by bringing together all the island nations of the Pacific. I say this because the future of humankind lies in the preservation of the Pacific-Rim region, centering on Korea, Japan, and the United States.

As I was well aware of Heaven’s plans for this area, I invested thirty-three of the prime years of my life in the United States, beginning in the early 1970s, for the sake of world peace. I first visited Hawaii and prayed at a critical moment when I was on my way to meet Kim Il-Sung of North Korea in 1991, with the purpose of bringing an end to the Cold War era. On that victorious foundation, I have now returned to Korea and I am working to complete the providence of establishing God’s homeland and hometown. This year, in particular, a jubilee year in the providence, I visited Hawaii as the first stop on a trip to America. Ladies and gentlemen, I ask that you closely analyze the current state of affairs in the world. Although the days of communism are gone, even now powerful nations such as China and Russia are constantly on the lookout for opportunities to aggressively pursue their own interests with the powerless and small island-nations. Regardless of what nation it may be, no small island-nation by itself can deal with these powerful, surrounding nations and their economic, political, or even military ambitions. Those nations are so powerful that, if they wanted to, they could dominate any of the smaller nations in a single day, without shedding blood.

Only when peace and security are settled in the Pacific Rim can peace for all humankind be guaranteed. As I have mentioned, the small island-nations by themselves will not be able to stop the incredible tsunami, of powerful nations moving into the region. The time has come, therefore, for all these small island-nations in the Pacific-Rim sphere to unite as one and build the homeland of the new civilization. The small island-nations, dispersed in both the northern and southern regions of the Pacific, on either side of the equator, as well as Japan, Taiwan, the Philippines, Indonesia, the Solomon Islands, Australia, New Zealand and other countries, should become as one country and form one union to sustain peace throughout the Pacific-Rim civilization. This will secure peace and stability for all people.

What I am saying to you is that you have the responsibility to protect and save the oceanic realm, which is a lifeline on which humanity’s future depends, from the environmental destruction and conflicts that are worsening by the day, and to shield the natural resources for the sake of peace in the future.

~ True Parents’ Work for Peace ~

Distinguished guests, I have surmounted and triumphed over a course of inexpressible suffering and tribulations. I have not lived for personal glory or comfort. Even as I walked a thorny path, hovering in a state between life and death, I received Heaven’s seal and was made fully aware of the destination of God’s will. Thus, I held dearly to Heaven’s command to bring salvation to humanity, as I returned like a phoenix and continued my turbulent life. In Jerusalem, in 2003, on the foundation of the victory attained through such blood, sweat, and tears, I had Jesus proclaimed as the king of kings before heaven and earth with the acknowledgement of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. Following this, in 2004, I was acknowledged as the king of peace, both in a United States Senate office-building and at the Korean National Assembly. Subsequently, in June 2006, we held the Coronation Ceremony of the True Parents as the King and Queen of Peace in Heaven and on Earth.
Ladies and gentlemen, on September 12, 2005, I proclaimed throughout all of heaven and earth the establishment of the Universal Peace Federation (UPF), which will enable God’s providence to flourish. Now, it is certainly possible for UPF to serve as an “Abel-type” counterpart to the UN, in the era after the coming of heaven. UPF will renew the “Cain-type” UN and lead the way for millions of Ambassadors for Peace throughout the world who have taken up my teachings, teachings centered on the Heavenly Father -- which consist of the principles of true love and the ideal of true family -- and, without fail, fulfill the heavenly will of creating “One Family Under God”.

~ The International and Cross-cultural Marriage-Blessing ~

Ladies and gentlemen, the Universal Peace Federation will be in the vanguard of carrying out the great revolution, of restoring the original lineage of humanity back to that of Adam before the Fall, through the International and Cross-cultural (UC) Marriage-Blessing held on the interreligious and international level. Some may laugh and say that it is impossible. Yet, if it is God’s will, there will be a way. What do you think will happen if people from the United States and Russia marry across the boundaries of their nationalities, through the international and cross-cultural Marriage-Blessing, according to the teachings of Rev. Moon, who is doing God’s work? The two nations will belong to one family under God, the eternal, absolute Lord of all creation. How could anyone harbor antagonism toward, much less point weapons at, a nation which many millions of grandchildren from their own lineage make their home?
Distinguished guests, you who have been called by God! The holy task of building the ideal kingdom of heaven -- the sacred reign of peace on earth -- is being carried out enthusiastically in all corners of the world, through the recovery of our ideal homeland and hometown. This is God’s hope for changing the 6.5-billion people of the world to the lineage of the true tribe. At this very moment, people are competing to fulfill their responsibility to hold hoondok rallies and Marriage-Blessings in twelve-thousand locations in each of the 185 nations of the world.

~ The Coming Culture of Women ~

Ladies and Gentlemen, you have truly come to a meaningful occasion today. Please do not miss your chance to ride on the currents of heavenly fortune that will surge together during this important and sacred jubilee year. Take the lead in protecting and developing the realm of the oceans, which cover seventy-five-percent of the earth. Where else will you find a new treasure-store of natural resources that hold the promise to resuscitate the earth endangered by all kinds of pollution and resource depletion?

The oceanic era that has begun represents the women’s era. Transcending nations and oceans, the Pacific-Rim region must fulfill its mission as the main vehicle for creating the culture of the oceanic sphere, which is the sphere of women’s culture. Please take this to heart.

I also say to you, please engrave this message on your hearts. The families of your good ancestors in heaven are blessed. Numbering in the billions, they have come to the earth today, and they are listening to this message with you. This is because they too must perfect themselves through you, their descendants, and advance to the positions of true parents, true teachers, and true lords and owners.

Furthermore, they must become one in heart and body with the True Parent, the king of kings. From the original position before the Fall, they must uphold the True Parents’ standard absolutely, take an active role in carrying out their works, and be mobilized for the creation of the kingdom of heaven on earth and in heaven, through a life of service and attendance. Please do not forget that in this way, the spirit world and the physical world unite as one living entity, and move and breathe together.

There is one more special request I would like to ask of you today. Please immerse yourselves in the contents of my peace messages, to the point where you virtually know them by heart, and make them the guidelines for your life. These messages of peace are a summary of my teachings that can be found in more than a thousand volumes of True Parents’ speeches. God will stand at the forefront. The spirit world and the physical world will unite, to protect and aid you in creating the peaceful, ideal world of God’s desire, in which you can enjoy eternal liberation and complete freedom. Again, I sincerely wish that you will engrave on your hearts the words I have conveyed to you, and utilize them in educating your children, other young people, and the citizens of your nation. Aju!

May God’s blessings be with your families, your nations, the Pacific-Rim region and the Peace UN!
Thank you very much.

PEACE MESSAGE 14
Rev. Dr. Sun Myung Moon

~ THE VALUE AND SIGNIFICANCE OF THE (UC) FAMILY PLEDGE ~

Beloved Blessed (UC-married) families!
Today, on this meaningful occasion, I would like to explain about the providential value and significance of the (UC) Family-Pledge. It serves as Heaven’s most precious and blessed guideline, given to us for our lives.

The fact that we now have the Family Pledge is truly the greatest of all blessings. It came from Heaven as a gift to all humanity on May 1, 1994, the day when the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification (FFWPU) was inaugurated. The Family Pledge was given when the Completed-Testament Age, which brings to fulfillment the Old-Testament Age and the New-Testament Age, was proclaimed. It is to serve as a milestone and guiding principle, piercing through the darkness of the age before (prior to) the coming of heaven (on earth), and opening a new heaven and earth in the era after the coming of heaven (on earth). It is also the blueprint for the building of God’s kingdom of peace and unity, in heaven and on earth in the era of the creation of a new heaven and earth.

Father and Mother Moon, the True Parents of humankind, emerged victorious from the battles they had fought throughout their long course of indemnity, that lasted forty years after Father Moon founded the "Holy Spirit Association for the Unification of World Christianity" (HSA-UWC) in 1954. On that foundation, we were no longer required to recite "My Pledge" as individuals. We were to recite and practice the Family Pledge together as true families, the basic units of triumphal entry into the kingdom of heaven (on earth).

This Family Pledge is filled with the pain and suffering of God and True Parents, and it should not be recited without tears. It is something that people should recite forever, long after they discard the mask of religion in the fallen world, and attain liberation. This is because the family is the basic unit of the kingdom of heaven.

The Family Pledge is the absolute standard and constitution for the establishment of God’s kingdom, of (called in Korean) "Cheon Il Guk", (chee~ohn-eel-gook).

Ladies and gentlemen, have you ever heard of the phrase "Family Pledge" anywhere in the world? It has appeared for the first time in human history. In the beginning, God lost the true family through the Fall of the first man and woman. He had created them to be His children and the first ancestors of humankind. Consequently, as God has the providential mandate to fulfill His ideal for the creation to an absolute standard, He instituted and proclaimed the Family Pledge. It is God’s blessing to human beings that they would establish the prototype of all true families -- of ideal families on earth -- and return eternal joy to God. It is an essential tool for building the "Kingdom Of Heaven On Earth And In Heaven", in which your families can live while directly serving and attending God. The precondition to properly recite the Family Pledge, is, first and foremost, to attain a state of complete mind-and-body unity, which is the state of "one heart, one body, one outlook, and one harmony". This means that we must reach the standard of perfecting our character, through absolute faith, absolute love, and absolute obedience. Our body should fully obey the orders of our conscience, which was given to us as our first parent, teacher, and owner.

Furthermore, all of our family members must perfect the basic framework of the unity of the mind and body, the unity of parents, the unity of husband and wife, the unity of parents and children, and the unity among siblings, centered on Heaven’s will. In other words, all of us are to perfect a sphere of unity in true love. Only then can we recite the Family Pledge. That is why the Family Pledge serves as the absolute standard and constitution, in the creation of the kingdom of peace and unity in heaven and (on) earth, beyond the Completed-Testament Age.

From now, people will succeed in life not as individuals but as families. This means that only true, model families that acquire the recognition and respect of all people, can stand in a position that can lead the world. The perfection of the family is Heaven’s greatest and highest blessing, but it is also a fearsome responsibility. It is the cornerstone of the building of "Cheon Il Guk". Creating true families is the shortcut to acquiring citizenship in God’s Kingdom.

Beloved Blessed (UC-married) families, the Family Pledge is the greatest of all prayers. It is the record of True Parents’ complete victory. It is the code of law that reveals the teachings of the Completed-Testament Age, the age of “justification through attendance”.

At the heart of the Family Pledge is the true family, within the framework of true love. The Family Pledge serves as a bridge, connecting our lives to God. It is like an explosion of true love, that completely captivates God. The Family Pledge is the energy and wisdom, that brings true love to the center of the connections between the vertical and horizontal, north and south, and front and back, initiating eternal, spherical motion. The Family Pledge is the key to the gates of the kingdom of heaven. The gates to the kingdom cannot be opened by a key made of gold or silver; they can be opened only by the key of a true family, perfected through true love. That is why all eight parts of the Family Pledge have as a (their) primary clause, "Our family,... ...centering on true love".
Ladies and gentlemen, the age of "justification by attendance" means the time of attending God in our lives. Wasn’t the first of the Ten Commandments, revealed in the Bible, about loving God?

In the era after the coming of heaven, God is revealing Himself in front of (in the sight of) all people as the True Parent. That is why the (UC) movement that attends the True Parents represents Heaven’s authority (parental-love status) and power, and is incomparable to any force of this fallen world. What can prevent you from living a life of attendance, that enables you to observe the living God with your own eyes and to experience Him with all your senses? For the first time since the Fall of our original ancestors, history is governed by the True Parents. The original source has emerged that allows us to return to a new world, through the (our) internal relationship with True Parents. That relationship can bring Satan to (voluntary) submission. It is the center through which God is to be liberated. You all should offer thanks for the amazing grace, of being able to live together with the True Parents and to receive their instructions directly.

When you are completely one with True Parents, your nation, people, tribe, and family can prosper. The True Parents are the embodiment and encapsulation of all glory, in heaven and (on) earth. Once you clearly understand their value, would you exchange the True Parents for all the money in the world? Their value is such that they cannot be replaced, even at the price of your life.

~ Explanation of Each Part of the Family Pledge ~

[1.] ~ Seek our original homeland and build the kingdom of God on earth and in heaven ~

The first part of the Family Pledge is, “Our family, the owner of Cheon Il Guk, pledges to seek our original homeland and build the kingdom of God on earth and in heaven, the original ideal of creation, by centering on true love”. You should know (become aware) that being able to recite the Family Pledge is one of the best pieces of news in all of history.

The “ideal of creation” refers to the ideal world, with God at the center. It is the ideal of creation to build the kingdom of God on earth and in heaven. However, since that ideal could not be attained, due to the Fall, we must achieve it through Restoration. This means that we must build the kingdom of God on earth and in heaven, the original ideal of creation, by seeking our original homeland.

Because the family was lost, due to the Fall, we must now build God’s family. This is not an individual’s task. It is rather the task of our families, the owners of Cheon Il Guk. Centering on true love, our families must “seek our original homeland and build the kingdom of God on earth and in heaven, the original ideal of creation”.

The “original homeland” referred to here, is the original homeland, centered on families. That is why all of you must go back to your own hometown and establish God’s kingdom on earth and in heaven. Once you restore your hometown, your nation and the world will be unified naturally. Then, there will be nothing further for you to worry about. People who have lived on earth in a unified family, centering on God’s true love, where the kingdom of God on earth and the kingdom of God in heaven are one, will become a family of the heavenly kingdom. We no longer live in the age of individual salvation. Religions, and Christianity in particular, talk about the salvation of the individual, but that will not suffice. God’s will is for the salvation of the family. Restoration must occur in the family, because the Fall destroyed the ideal for the family. That time has now come. In all of history, this has never before happened on earth. Finally, the family has entered the era of settlement. It is through families, that we must build the kingdom of God on earth and in heaven, the original ideal of God’s creation. Because we lost the family, our families must restore that kingdom. The original homeland is centered on families, not on a nation. That is why I am saying that you must return to your hometown. If you still have a family there, you must go back to your hometown and build God’s kingdom on earth and in heaven. Once we restore our hometowns, our nations and the world will naturally harmonize. The heavenly kingdom on earth and in heaven will automatically be established. This is to unfold, centering on true families.

“Our family pledges to...build the kingdom of God on earth and in heaven, the original ideal of creation.” Here we say “build”. Why do we use that word? It is because we must create God’s kingdom. It will not come about by itself. We must build it ourselves. This current world is already hell-on-earth, and it is connected to hell in the spirit world. We must re-create this world and turn it around 180 degrees. Again, it is the mission of all families who have received the (UC) Marriage Blessing from True Parents, to seek the original homeland and build the kingdom of God on earth and in heaven, the original ideal of creation. It is not just as individuals, but as families, that you must complete the building of God’s kingdom. This is your first pledge as Blessed (UC-married) families.

[2.] ~ Perfect the dutiful, family way (path), of filial sons and daughters, patriots, saints, and divine sons and daughters ~

The second part of the Family Pledge, is: “Our family, the owner of Cheon Il Guk, pledges to represent and become central, to heaven and (to) earth, by attending God and True Parents; we pledge to perfect the dutiful, family way (path), of filial sons and daughters in our family, patriots in our nation, saints in the world, and divine sons and daughters in heaven and (on) earth, by centering on true love”.

“Our family... ...centering on true love.” True love refers to love that appears where there is unity between mind and body, between husband and wife, and between parents and children. If you fail to practice this standard of true love, then you will surely be in trouble when you go to the spirit world.

That is how fearsome the Family Pledge is. You should always live by it. If in your family, the father were to violate even one part of the Family Pledge, then the mother and children would all be jointly responsible. The entire family would have to take joint responsibility for it. The significance of Eve’s Fall, was that it brought about the Fall of Adam’s entire family.

This part of the Family Pledge also states, “... by attending God and True Parents...”. We human beings were originally to attend and honor God and True Parents, but we were driven away, due to the Fall. As a result of the Fall, we lose the value of our existence, unless we attend God and True Parents.

God is the vertical true-parent and the True Parents are the horizontal true-parents. We are to be born from the union of these two sets of true parents. God is the vertical parent, and perfected Adam and (perfected) Eve are the horizontal parents. On the foundation of these two sets of parents becoming one, we can also achieve unity, and be connected to God and Heaven. For this reason, nothing can be accomplished, unless we attend God and True Parents.

Then what kind of family is a family that represents and becomes central to heaven and earth? It is the ideal family that God envisioned, prior to the Fall of Adam and Eve. The representative and central family, in heaven and on earth, refers to the family that represents heaven, and grows this relationship with God in expanding circles through the eight stages, in both the vertical and horizontal realms on earth. What I am saying is that the family comes to the position, where God representing heaven, and the True Parents on earth, are united perpendicularly.

At the center of such a family, you must become a filial son or daughter; in such a nation you must become a patriot; in such a world you must become a saint; and in such a heaven and earth, you must become a divine son or daughter. “We pledge to perfect the dutiful, family way (path) of... ...divine sons and daughters". Each family member, as an individual, should be able to attain the position of a divine son or daughter. When such divine sons and daughters, who are members of the same family, gather together, a family of divine sons and daughters is formed. This is what we are pledging.

We are pledging to represent and become central, to heaven and earth, by attending God and True Parents. For this, our family must determine to fulfill the dutiful, family way (path), of filial sons and daughters in the family, patriots and virtuous women in the nation, saints in the world, and divine sons and daughters in heaven and (on) earth -- everything that Heaven desires. We are saying that we will, as parents, educate our children, educate citizens in the nation, educate saints in the world, and make them qualified to become family members in the heavenly kingdom, both in heaven and on earth -- that is, members of families of divine sons and daughters. That is why we say, “Our family, the owner of Cheon Il Guk, pledges to represent and become central, to heaven and earth, by attending God and True Parents; we pledge to perfect the dutiful, family way (path), of filial sons and daughters in our family, patriots in our nation, saints in the world, and divine sons and daughters in heaven and (on) earth, by centering on true love”.

[3.] ~ Perfect the Four Great Realms of Heart, the Three Great Kingships, and the Realm of the Royal Family ~

The third part of the family Pledge is, “Our family, the owner of Cheon Il Guk, pledges to perfect the Four Great Realms of Heart, the Three Great Kingships, and the Realm of the Royal Family, by centering on true love”.

The Four Great Realms of Heart and the Three Great Kingships would have been fulfilled, had Adam and Eve not fallen. But for the Fall, they would have fulfilled these and become God’s royal family. This part of the Family Pledge refers to restoring fallen people and making them into the royal family. The families who receive the (UC) Marriage Blessing need to fulfill this mission. Conjugal love should take place where the Four Great Realms of Heart and the Three Great Kingships are achieved. For a man and a woman to receive love from each other, they need to stand in such a position. Otherwise, they are not to love each other. Yet, these realms and kingships cannot be realized without love. That is why man absolutely needs woman, and vice versa.

Blessed (UC-married) families should strive every day to achieve this goal. However, it cannot be fulfilled with only a theoretical faith, where you think that you should be able to fulfill your goal, simply because God does it in such-and-such a way. This is a practical matter, and it is set right before your very eyes.

[4.] ~ God’s ideal is the creation of a universal family encompassing heaven and earth ~

The fourth part of the Family Pledge is “Our family, the owner of Cheon Il Guk, pledges to build the universal family, encompassing heaven and earth, which is God’s ideal of creation, and perfect the world of freedom, peace, unity, and happiness, by centering on true love”.

God’s ideal, is that the world becomes one family, or household, under God. If those who have actualized the Four Great Realms of Heart and Three Great Kingships, recite the Family Pledge, there should be only one family under God, rather than two families, or many. By building the universal family encompassing heaven and earth -- the ideal of God’s creation -- we should establish that one family under God.

To give you an example using air, when there is a lack of air in a low-pressure system, air from a high-pressure system flows in and fills it up. Similarly, water in a higher place will automatically flow down, to fill up a lower place. Equilibrium is the ideal.

In the world today, there are advanced nations and underdeveloped nations. In the advanced nations people have a lot, and end up discarding leftover things, whereas people in underdeveloped nations lack many things, especially food. They may even starve to death. Twenty-million people die of starvation each year. Do you think that is God’s will? What the advanced nations are doing is oppressing the universe’s natural system of interaction. If this continues, the advanced nations will be unable to avoid divine punishment. Heaven will not let this go unnoticed. Already, signs of judgment are appearing in various places. One of the signs is the prevalence of sexually transmitted diseases, and another is drug and alcohol abuse. Both free sex and homosexuality are the madness of the lowest of the human race. God detests such behavior the most; Satan, on the other hand, praises such behavior the most.

I, Rev. Moon, am leading a movement to save the tens-of-thousands of people who are dying of starvation and malnutrition each day in the underdeveloped nations, even if it means making people go hungry in the consumer paradise of advanced nations such as the United States. Despite disorder in the human race, the natural world is constantly trying to maintain equilibrium.

When we pledge to “build the universal family encompassing heaven and earth, which is God’s ideal of creation, and perfect the world of freedom, peace, unity, and happiness”, the word “freedom” here does not mean only the freedom of an individual, but the freedom, peace, unity, and happiness of all the people of this world, as one family under God. It refers to a world whose people are living in happiness. That is why we should develop movements in all villages, towns, and cities throughout the world. In any place of wealth, we need to set up structures through which it can be shared.

Ladies and gentlemen, a world of one universal family is a world filled with families who have received the (UC) Marriage Blessing. When you go to the spirit world, you will find people from all over the world living together. All five colors of the human race are gathered there. The question is, who among these people is truly prepared with a family ideal that can unite the past, present, and future? Such a person will become a central leader in the spirit world. That is why we must train for this while we are on earth. We have to receive that training on the basis of mind-and-body unity.

There are many people in this world who betray their conscience and act according to their body’s desires. They hoard money, commit fraud, come up with schemes, and defame others. However, money accumulated in this way will eventually strike them back, in the form of a rod of judgment.

It is the same in the spirit world. No matter how learned a person may be, if he uses the knowledge he has gained for his own sake instead of for the greater good, that knowledge will come back and strike him. That person will be thrown into hell. We should live for the sake of the world, centering on the ideal of one global family, God’s ideal. Yet, if we ignore the world and live only for our own sake, the world will judge us.

I have not asked you to recite the Family Pledge, centering on my family. You are to pledge, centering on your own families. Everyone is equal. I, Rev. Moon, will pledge representing my family, but on behalf of all families. That is why we say, “Our family, the owner of Cheon Il Guk, pledges to build the universal family encompassing heaven and earth, which is God’s ideal of creation, and perfect the world of freedom, peace, unity, and happiness, by centering on true love”.

[5.] ~ Stagnation leads to death ~

The fifth part of the Family Pledge, is: “Our family, the owner of Cheon Il Guk, pledges to strive every day to advance the unification of the spirit world and the physical world as subject and object partners, by centering on true love”.

We must first think about the spirit world. It is in the position of the subject partner, and the physical world is the object partner. Do you think there are more people living in the spirit world or on earth? The population of the spirit world is far greater than the population of the earth.

The spirit world is the subject partner, "yang", and the physical is the object partner, "yin". In the same way, the mind is in the subject-partner position and "yang" to the body, which is in the position of object partner, "yin". The body represents the physical world and the mind (represents) the spirit world.

If we act in such a way that we do not recognize the mind, and the world of the mind, as the subject partner, we are bound to go to hell. If we have lived in such a way that our body has led our mind, we should now live so that our mind leads our body and subjugates (persuades) it. I am saying that such a time has come. In our daily life we should have a consciousness that the spirit world is the subject partner. Unless we reach perfection on earth -- the object partner -- we shall not be able to establish the foundation for perfection, when we pass into the spirit world. There is a direct relationship between the two worlds. Only when the spirit world is linked to us every day, every year, throughout our entire life, it becomes our second sphere of activity and place of residence, when we go there. In other words, “the unification of the spirit world and the physical world, as subject and object partners”, means that the two worlds must constantly move towards oneness. To strive every day to advance this unification means to develop and progress. We are prompted to do it quickly. We must not stop. If we do, we are already falling away toward hell and death.

Stagnation leads down to hell, whereas pushing forward leads to development. To sleep long hours and be lazy, gluttonous, and self-indulgent, are not acceptable in relation to God’s providence. We should keep ourselves busy. Life is short. Run without resting, just like me. Run even without sleeping. Only then can you be connected to the world that you hope for. How can you be connected to the world that you do not even think about? This is how oneness is brought about. We should think about both the spirit world and the physical world as partners.

[6.] ~ Become a family that moves heavenly fortune ~

The sixth part of the Family Pledge, is: “Our family, the owner of Cheon Il Guk, pledges to become a family that moves heavenly fortune by embodying God and True Parents, and to perfect a family that conveys Heaven’s blessing(s) to our community, by centering on true love”.

“Our family pledges...by embodying God and True Parents...” You are a family that embodies God and True Parents. The families that embody God and True Parents are the families that mobilize heavenly fortune. When we say that we pledge to “become a family that moves heavenly fortune... [and] conveys Heaven’s blessing(s) to our community”, we are not saying that we want to be blessed by God and enjoy a good life just for ourselves. We are saying that we are all, ultimately, to become part of the royal family and that everyone should be a citizen of God’s kingdom of Cheon Il Guk. We are making a vow to become a channel of God’s blessing(s), sharing His blessing(s) equally with all the people of the world. The family of God and the True Parents is one family. There is only one set of True Parents. However, since there are many Blessed (UC-married) families throughout the world, God wants all of them to become channels that share the blessings of God and True Parents with others. You should strive to become such a family. This means that you are trying to enable everyone to receive many blessings.

[7.] ~ Perfect the world, based on the culture of heart, which is rooted in the original lineage ~

The seventh part, is: “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”.

In our path of faith, the most important point, is not to (is to not) defile the original lineage. That means that your descendants should not stain their lineage in the same way as Adam and Eve did when they fell. That is why we say, “Our family pledges...to perfect the world, based on the culture of heart, which is rooted in the original lineage...”. The world of God’s heart, the world in heaven, the world on earth, and the world of True Parents’ heart, are all one. That is why we say that our family pledges “to perfect the world, based on the culture of heart...”. This is our ideal. The culture should not be two, but one. The cultures of the fallen world are complex and varied. Without establishing the world based on the culture of heart, there is no way for us to connect to heaven on all levels, from the individual to the family, tribe, people, nation, world, and eternal world.

Without that heart, the individual, family, and tribe cannot be connected. Without a world based on the culture of heart, there is no way for us to make connections, from the individual up to the cosmos. The world thus far has been going up and down in a zigzag fashion, and that is why it has not yet been able to reach the final destination, even after many thousands of years. Yet, in the world based on the culture of heart, we can reach that destination right away. This is possible only through true love.

[8.] ~ Perfect the realm of (God-centered) liberation
and (God-centered) complete freedom,
in the kingdom of God on earth and in heaven ~

The eighth part, is: “Our family, the Owner of Cheon Il Guk, pledges, having entered the Completed Testament Age, to achieve the ideal of God and human beings, united in love through absolute faith, absolute love, and absolute obedience, and to perfect the realm of liberation and complete freedom in the kingdom of God on earth and in heaven, by centering on true love”.

In your family you must bring the royal family into being by becoming a couple where each of you is united in mind and body. You should know (become aware) that this is God’s ideal for the creation, the fulfillment of the Completed Testament Age. The family where the man and woman are united in true love is the beginning of kingship. Originally, Adam’s family was to be the royal family. From there, the king of the tribe, the king of the people, and the king of the nation were to emerge. Then this kingship would have automatically continued on, into the eternal spirit-world. From the earth, it would have been connected eternally to that
kingdom.

The words, “Completed Testament Age”, refer to our having advanced into a new age. It is the time when the world will be united, creating a peaceful world that begins with the family, and progresses to the tribe, people, nation, world, and even to all of heaven and earth. It represents the whole; it is not confined to the family unit. We were able to enter the Completed Testament Age, only after going beyond the level of the world and that of the whole. Through the new family that perfects the Four Great Realms of Heart and the Three Great Kingships, we can go beyond the realm of the world, and achieve the required model for the Completed Testament Age. When this happens, the world will become one unified world -- the ideal, heavenly kingdom of peace.

Ladies and gentlemen! Absolute faith, absolute love, absolute obedience! These constitute God’s ideal of creation. God began, (by) creating all things based on absolute faith. He initiated His Creation for the sake of His object partners of absolute love. Absolute obedience means that there is no awareness of “self”. It is a state of absolute zero -- complete nothingness. When God empties Himself and returns to nothingness, a natural and reciprocal circular-motion begins. Because you give everything out and have nothing more to give, everything will come back to you. This is the origin of interaction in the universe, and the principle that everything comes back to you after you invest completely.

For this reason, you must not insist on your own way. If you do, you will come to belong to the devil. You must not let Satan use anything that comes through your five physical senses. Make it so that your eyes, nose, mouth, feet, and hands are used as if they were God’s. And try to live your life based on this standard of absolute faith, absolute love, and absolute obedience! God always has compassion for and assists such people. When you let go of yourself, God can be with you.

Ladies and gentlemen, God created you as His absolute partners of love, totally investing Himself. He created you because He needed you as His genuine object-partners of love. Without having a substantial form, either in the physical world or in the spirit world, God was unable to relate to His children. That is why He had to acquire a physical form. That form is of the perfected, True Parents.

God wanted object partners of love on earth that He could love. That is why He began His Creation. God created us human beings as His absolute object-partners of love, and granted us the ability to reproduce, so that we might live for eternity through our descendants. This is the essence of God’s creation.

~ The purpose of creation is God and human beings united in love ~

God is the root of love, the root of life, the root of lineage, and the root of the kingdom of heaven on earth and the kingdom of heaven in heaven. Had Adam and Eve not fallen, God would have entered their hearts, when they married and (God) realized a loving oneness with them. God would have become the vertical True Parent, and Adam and Eve would have become the horizontal True Parents. We would have been born with the flesh and blood of these two sets of parents. Our mind would have become the vertical-self and our body the horizontal-self, and we would have led lives based on one heart, one body, one outlook, and one harmony.

In such a way, we are to perfect the unity of our mind and body by achieving unity with God in love, and thus becoming His sons and daughters. Once we are in this parent–child relationship, we become God’s princes and princesses. We can enjoy a parent–child relationship with God and inherit everything from Him. When we, as His children, become husbands and wives, and unite totally, based on true love, we become a family that lives by attending God. That family becomes a base for peace and the ideal. When a man and a woman, each being one half, unite together, they become the base through which they fulfill God’s ideal love as His partners.

In other words, through the perfection of human beings, as beings of infinite value through true love, God also perfects true love, and completes the world of the ideal of creation, where His eternal, ideal love dwells.

In the relationship between God and Adam’s family, God was to be the first generation, Adam the second generation, and Adam’s children the third generation. God was to be in the position of the grandparent, Adam in the position of the parent, and the children in the position of the sons and daughters. In such a way, when three generations are firmly secured in your families, the grandparents stand in the position of God in His kingdom. They also are in the positions of the king and queen of the original physical-world and spirit-world. The parents stand in the position of the central king and queen, representing the present kingdom of heaven on earth. The children, who represent the future, are in the position of princes and princesses who inherit the kingdom of heaven
on earth and in heaven.

In this way, Adam’s family and clan were to live as the royal clan, with God as its center. After their life on earth, its members were meant to go to heaven and live in the eternal world. That is the purpose that we were meant to fulfill. Heaven is where people go to, after living together on earth and attending their grandfather, who represents Heaven, as if he were God, attending their parents as the king and queen of the present world, and loving their children as the future princes and princesses. Heaven is the only place where peoples’ desires, hopes, and happiness are fulfilled.

The eighth part of the Family Pledge shows the way for us to live in the kingdom of heaven on earth. It is a path that is possible only through a life of absolute faith, absolute love, and absolute obedience. At the time of creation, God totally invested Himself with absolute faith and absolute love, based on the standard of absolute obedience.

~ The conscience represents three great subject partners ~

Ladies and gentlemen, the conscience comes first and precedes your parents, your teachers, and even God. Many people do not realize its value, because the body has been dominating the conscience. That is how it is in this fallen, hedonistic world -- a world in which many focus on physical pleasure and having fun. If we depend solely on money, we will become lost. We will be driven into reckless relationships of love that lead us to ruin.

We have lost the true love that was to be created from the unity of God and human beings in absolute faith, absolute love, and absolute obedience. The first people were meant to become perfect without knowing anything about the Fall. They were to create a realm of unity with God. Yet everything was lost.

That is why we must establish the realm of the unity of heaven and earth. We must dissolve all the sorrow that we caused God, for not having done so. Without releasing that pain and suffering, there can be no liberation for God or for human beings. Internally and externally, I have been resolving all of that. That is why I call this the perfection of Restoration. It is the completion of Restoration. That is what (why?) I am proclaiming this now. It is because it must be brought to a conclusion in the right way.

~ Heaven’s tradition is the constitution of your family ~

Beloved Blessed (UC-married) family members! The question now is how you will guard the pure and true lineage that you have received from God. The Fall occurred in the Garden of Eden, even though it was an undefiled place. It will surely not be easy, to protect the pure lineage in this evil and corrupt world of sin. So, the people born in this sinful world, no matter how much they suffer, must take responsibility such that the children of future generations receive and maintain the (UC) Marriage Blessing. It is their responsibility to create a pure and pristine environment that will never again be defiled.

Consequently, your families should not be secular families immersed in old habits. What is the best way to live for the future? It is to thoroughly educate your descendants. It is also essential to live an exemplary life for the sake of your descendants. Despite difficulties during the wilderness course, the people of Israel overcame the seven tribes of Canaan. In the same way, you must also gain victory in your own battle, no matter what hardships you have to endure. Parents must plant the way of Heaven, even if they die doing so. If you live for the sake of Heaven and the True Parents, your children will be blessed with heavenly fortune and naturally come to inherit the heavenly tradition.

The people of Israel entered the land of Canaan, but later perished. Why? It is because they eventually succumbed to the existing environment and adopted the prevailing habits and customs. The Israelites were tempted by the extravagant lifestyle of the Canaanites, who ate better food and enjoyed a more comfortable life than theirs. The Israelites ended up coveting power and began to place their priorities on wealth and knowledge. They even began to marry gentiles -- as long as they were from rich families. In this way, they betrayed the spirit of the chosen nation and ended up losing the heavenly tradition.

The lessons we learn from the Family Pledge, come from universal, cosmic principles, not from any form of individualism. We should not try to avoid the various hardships that we face in our lives. We must boldly break through our circumstances and win the victory! To do this, our families must be armed with the tradition of the Family Pledge.

It is not, however, a task for just your families, or for a single generation. You must firmly and solidly establish the heavenly tradition, over (for) at least three generations. You have the mission of establishing a lineage that secures the tradition of the chosen people, from generation to generation.

You must broaden your base of true love and unite the hearts of all peoples. Light a candle, offer incense, and pray to become families that can unite the hearts of all peoples. Live and die to create a bond of true love with all peoples and with heaven and earth. If you live this way, God will protect your families through all ordeals and tribulations. It is God’s desire to plant His seeds of love in such families.

Ladies and gentlemen, you must all establish the victorious tradition of a true and good family, based on the Family Pledge. The life that you lead in this revolutionary era, after the coming of heaven, should be one of a victor. The bright light from the Pacific-Rim era is illuminating your path. God, the source of true life, true love, and true lineage, is with you in the homeland of the Korean peninsula and throughout the world. True Parents, to whom God has given the Blessing of eternal value, are also guiding you on your path. Be assured that there is nothing you cannot accomplish on the path ahead!

May God’s blessings be with you and your family for eternity!

PEACE MESSAGE 15

THE THREE GREAT SUBJECT-PARTNERS PRINCIPLE, FROM THE VIEWPOINT OF GOD'S PROVIDENCE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is the Founder’s Address delivered by Rev. Dr. Sun Myung Moon at the WCSF 2007 Grand Opening Ceremony, which took place at the Yu Gwan Soon Gymnasium in Cheonan, Korea, on July 4, 2007.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Distinguished guests from at home and abroad, athletes participating in the interreligious sports tournament:
I thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking part in the World Culture and Sports Festival (WCSF), which is growing in stature as a genuine peace festival for all humankind.

This year, we are celebrating the Twelfth WCSF, under the theme “The Advent of the Era Beginning a New Universal Civilization of Peace”. The festival presents a model of harmony and peace, to bring together the six-and-a-half-billion people of the world as one family under God.

~ Humankind in the Last Days ~

Ladies and gentlemen, please look at the world today. Can we find anyone among the current leaders of the world who is genuinely concerned with the future of humankind and who is making the sacrifices necessary to bring harmony and peace to humanity on an interreligious and international level? Human beings are like children who have lost their parents, like misdirected youths who do not recognize their teacher, like sheep who have lost their shepherd. Human beings have become spiritually blind, unable to see even an inch in front of them. There are now some two-hundred nations in the world. Yet, aren’t many of these nations engaged in fierce conflicts, directly or indirectly? Aren’t they all intent on pursuing their own interests? Even the United Nations, founded with the noble ideal of protecting the welfare and peace of humankind, has reached its limitations. Watching helplessly without a solution to the global crises of war, starvation, and disease, isn’t the UN becoming an organization that exists more in name than in substance? Thinking of ourselves as “lords of creation,” we human beings have forged our own history. Although humankind has seen terrible massacres, and suffered natural disasters, the human race has survived and continues to multiply to this day, seeking a bright and happy world -- although with only a vague concept of what that might be. Why is it that the human race is still unable to escape from the mire of sin and disease?

~ The Three Great Subject Partners Principle ~

Ladies and gentlemen, on the occasion of the opening ceremony of the Peace Palace and coronation of the king and queen of peace on June 13, 2006, I proclaimed the basic duties and mission -- based on the heavenly way (path) -- that all citizens of the kingdom of God, Cheon Il Guk, should understand and fulfill. I did so in order to fulfill God’s call to me to bring humankind to live as one global family in a sacred reign of peace under God, by overcoming the tragic reality humankind is facing. Today, I would like to address you on the theme, “The Three Great Subject Partners Principle from the Viewpoint of God’s Providence”. This message is Heaven’s blessing that serves as an important teaching in guiding humanity’s future. Please open your heart and listen to these words so that you may be ready for your eternal life.

Ladies and gentlemen, it is important to know that God endowed human beings with the Three Great Subject Partners Principle at the Creation. The first great subject partner you are to become is a true parent. God created us as His children. We were to become true children by perfecting our individual character, after going through an autonomous period of spiritual growth based on the principles God established. We were then to become true couples, have our own children, and attain the position of true parents. In this way, we were to perfect ourselves by practicing and embodying the true love that God bestowed on us when He created us.

In reality however, moral values in our world today are deteriorating rapidly. The moral laws governing the relationship between parents and children have been rejected. Fidelity between couples (spouses) is being discarded as an old-fashioned idea of previous generations, and brotherly love between siblings has become rare and buried in the swamp of self-centered individualism. For these reasons, the most important thing to do is establish true families, based on true love. This means we must build families in which three generations live together in true love, with true parents at the center.

The second great subject-partner you are to become is a true teacher. Although the world is full of evil influences, one way or another, a person enters relationships in life where either he or she is in a position to teach, or in a position to learn. Our first teachers are our parents. They should be our first and greatest teachers. As true teachers, it is the parents’ primary responsibility to raise true children.

Children who are brought up by true parents, through a true and good family education, easily progress into their school education. This is the next stage. School provides an institutionalized education, but even within that framework, teachers have the responsibility -- with the heart of true parents -- to guide and educate them to become true children. By this I mean that horizontal, academic education must be carried out on the foundation of vertical, character (God-centered-aspirations) education. Therefore a teacher must first possess the heart of a true parent.

The third great subject-partner you are to become is a true owner. God created the universe and is the true owner and lord of all creation. God’s creation is the fruit of His complete investment, carried out based on absolute faith, absolute love, and absolute obedience. From this example, we can gain the wisdom that enables us to become a true owner. The secret, is to invest true love on the basis of that absolute standard. The prerequisite of becoming a true owner is to possess the heart of a true parent.

~ The organic relationship within the
Three Great Subject-Partners Principle ~

The Three Great Subject-Partners Principle expresses an organic relationship that is mutual, absolute, and indivisible. This is because a true parent, true teacher or true owner can stand in the position of either a subject partner or an object partner, in relation to the other two. In other words, once you attain the position of a true parent, the positions of a true teacher and true owner emerge. Once you reach the position of a true teacher, the positions of true parent and true owner are included. When you attain the position of a true owner, you will immediately become a true parent and true teacher as well.

From the outset, human beings were born to inherit and embody God’s complete Three Great Subject-Partners Principle. To become a person of character, perfecting the Three Great Subject-Partners Principle, we must become like God Himself. We must have a heart that is like God’s and love other people and all creation on the basis of His absolute standard, just as He does. In other words, we must attain a state of loving unity with God, wherein we can love the creation. At that point, the true parent, the true teacher, and the true owner all converge.

The world operates through the harmony of various systems and relationships. In this complex and varied world, the principle of becoming a true owner naturally applies to the relationships between people; but it also applies to the relationship between human beings and the creation. The question is, what kind of person can be called a true owner. Someone who lives for others, caring for and sacrificing to serve others -- in other words, a person who practices true love in daily life -- can be called a true owner. Only someone who cares for all things in the creation with true love, protecting and nurturing them, can become a true owner of all creation.

In light of this, it is not your position or status that makes you a true owner. It is determined by your character and capacity to love. The president of a company, who loves and cares for all his employees with a parental heart, is the true owner of that company. Only (a nation's) president who loves its citizens, like a parent who caringly raises his or her (own) children, and who shares the sorrows and joys of life with them, can become the true owner of that nation.

~ Our conscience as a true parent, true teacher, and true owner ~

Ladies and gentlemen, God’s creation is truly mysterious and profound. God created us, as His children and to be the lords of creation. To this end, He gave each of us the highest and greatest gift -- a conscience. This special gift of a conscience is given to us as a compass to guide us through life in this earthly world. We can say that our lifespan may be one-hundred years. Regardless of who we are, from the moment of our birth to the moment we die, we cannot escape the influence of our conscience.

The most elevated function of the conscience is its role as our true parent, true teacher, and true owner. In other words, our conscience acts as a true parent, true teacher, and true owner on behalf of God, guiding our lives and educating us from the time we are born. Our conscience functions as a guide, keeping watch over our every action at every moment. It is aware of our every word, thought, and deed, even before our parents, our teachers, or God are. God infused into the conscience the fundamental function of guiding and supervising our lives.

Yet, the conscience, which should be clear as crystal, has been clouded due to the Fall, and is now unable to fully manifest its original function amid all manner of sin and spiritual sickness. That is why you must become people who can listen to the voice of your conscience, and cry out to be liberated, even one day sooner, and given innermost freedom from this evil world that is under Satan’s dominion. However, there is no way for fallen people to restore the original function of the conscience by their own power. This is because they have not established a direct, vertical relationship with God. The six-and-a-half-billion people in the world today are all off at a tangent, each and every one living under the illusion, of being genuine and the best in his or her field. However, no one will be able to find the path to salvation until someone reaches the absolute standard of a direct, ninety-degree-angle relationship with God.

Beloved leaders from around the world, there is one person, the first and probably the last to hold such a position in history, who holds the keys, to free humankind from Satan’s bondage and to lead them to heaven. That person is the one standing before you today. I never wished for nor sought this position, but I was anointed by God and placed in the position of the Savior, Messiah, returning Lord, and the True Parent of humankind. It is a position that is absolutely free from the influence of Satan’s realm. It is indeed I, Reverend Moon, who have been charged by God with practicing and demonstrating, firsthand, a life based on the truth and on submission to the conscience. The path of a true parent, true teacher, and true owner I am walking, will allow the people of the world, who are going six-and-a-half-billion separate ways, to be reconnected to God at a ninety-degree angle.

The absolute, good spirits in the spirit world, who number more than 300 billion, are testifying, in unison, to this fact. The founders of the great religions, principally Jesus, as well as great philosophers and thinkers, and even some communist leaders, are shedding tears of gratitude for this amazing truth.

~ The value of the cross-cultural marriage-Blessing ~

Ladies and gentlemen, even the people in the spirit world have no way to be saved, without receiving the grace of the (UC-marriage) Blessing from the True Parents.

The time has come for humankind to fulfill the heavenly decree of creating "one family under God", through the international and cross-cultural (UC-marriage) Blessing. As the True Parent, my teachings are for you to receive now. What way is there to create the kingdom of heaven on earth and in heaven, other than by becoming "one family under God"? What other way is there, to create the ideal world that God envisioned at the time of the Creation, the world in which all people are united beyond the boundaries of race, culture, religion, and nation, and where war and conflict do not exist?

Without your being aware of it, the True Parents have proclaimed the opening of "the era after the coming of heaven", which will allow humanity to be liberated. Even God will be liberated and His heart set completely free. The True Parents are now taking this revolutionary truth, that we must all become true parents, true teachers, and true owners, to all the corners of the world. Ladies and gentlemen, the fundamental spirit of the World Culture and Sports Festival 2007, is one of fulfilling the sacred task of bringing all people together as one family. Please remember that we, as people of religion, culture, and athletic prowess, have the mission to come together as one and bring the era beginning a new universal civilization of peace into fruition. Religious people, in particular, must become the leaders of this sacred revolution of true love. I have already completed all the necessary preparations for this.

With a view to building the ideal kingdom of heaven that is God’s desire, I am promoting the world’s grandest project, which is to build a tunnel under the Bering Strait. It will be part of the creation of the "International Highway of Peace" that is to connect all oceans and continents and allow people to travel at full speed around the globe.

The United Nations, which began with the noble ideal of realizing world peace, is now only a shadow of what it was meant to be. Unable to turn away from this sad reality, I am promoting the renewal of the UN. In support of these efforts, I have founded the Universal Peace Federation (UPF) as the new “Peace UN”, or “Abel-type UN”, with the belief that we must pour new wine into fresh wine-skins. UPF will guide humanity in the era for the beginning of a new and universal civilization of peace. It is already active in more than 120 nations.

All you have to do now, is trust in and follow the True Parents. With your conscience as your compass, attain the status of a true parent, true teacher, and true owner. Manifest true love in your daily life, thus ensuring your eternal life in heaven. Heavenly fortune will speed you on your path, and your good ancestors who have received the (UC) Marriage Blessing will actively assist you in your activities. Have courage, and strive to go forward!

I pray that you may all attain the true-family ideal, so that you can say three cheers for the advent of the era of the kingdom of peace under the sacred reign of peace, based on the Three Great Subject-Partners Principle.
Thank you very much.

GLOSSARY

[Abel-type] - Relatively closer to God, and more obedient to God, than "Cain-type", and hence, more unselfish and/or less self-centered --- This is a symbolically-derived difference, because Cain's conception is deemed to be related to Eve's sexual relationship with the Archangel Lucifer, (i.e. Lucifer who became Satan), which was Eve's "first fall". Abel's conception is deemed to be related with Eve's premature, sexual relationship with Adam, Eve's "second fall". Of course, both conceptions were with Adam, but the spiritual reality makes this the symbolic means that God applied, to try to reverse "The Fall". If Cain had not murdered Abel, then the Messiah would have been sent by God, (i.e. born), at that time.

[Cain-type] - Relatively more separated from God, and less obedient to God, being older, and therefore more powerful in strength and in knowledge, ergo prone to arrogance, selfishness, and self-centeredness, with neither concern nor regard for God's Will

[Adam and Eve] - The first human beings --- They were the only conscious, self-aware beings in The Creation, and also the only beings with eternal spirits.

[Ambassadors for Peace] - A group of people who have agreed to apply the truth of the revelation(s), (i.e. Divine Principle), that have come through the Rev. Dr. Sun Myung Moon, (as summarized in His 2007 “15 Peace Messages”), to promote and effect peace, worldwide

[Attend/attendance] - Normally "following someone", involving a physical closeness with them, on a daily basis, which can be expanded to mean supporting someone, or even to mean obeying God's Will, as in "attending God"

[Blessing, or Marriage Blessing] – A marriage over which the Messiah officiates --- He brings us the Holy-Wine ceremony and Unification-Church, (UC), marriage-ceremony to cut our lineage with Satan and give us rebirth, by connecting us with the original lineage God intended, before "The Fall" of Adam and Eve occurred.

[Cheon Il Guk], [chohn-ill-gook] - Korean words that denote heaven on earth and in the spiritual realm, (i.e. Utopia) --- The Creation, filled with joy and happiness, (i.e. of peace and harmony), that God originally intended, before "The Fall" of Adam and Eve --- Restoration of "The Fall" means that God must first gain the sovereignty of one nation, with a Constitution and Laws based on God's Will, (i.e. one nation of "Cheon Il Guk"), and then expand that sovereignty to the worldwide level.

[Coronation Ceremony for God's Kingship] - A ceremony noting the establishment of God's (restored) sovereignty, which has been lost ever since "The Fall" of Adam and Eve that established the sovereignty of Satan over mankind

[Dual characteristics] - the duality within each being, of inner and outer, (mind and body) --- the duality in all things, (e.g. positive and negative, external appearance and internal nature, or male and female)

[Era before and after the coming of heaven (on earth)] - Given the Second Advent of Christ as it has occurred since the 1960 "Marriage of the Lamb", we are living at the beginning of a new era, "after the coming of heaven" (on earth). Our path has finally become explicit and completely unblocked, so that each individual can pay proper indemnity, (NOT “INDUMBNITY”), to restore heaven on earth as it was before "The Fall" of Adam and Eve.

[The Fall] - The first human beings, Adam and Eve, lost their relationship with God by breaking God's Commandment. They had an illicitly-premature, sexual relationship based on selfish, self-centered love, and thus lost unselfish, un-self-centered, true love, centered on God's original ideal purpose for The Creation. Hence, they lost their original lineage with God, and they lost God's original ideal for the purpose of The Creation, that mankind and God would share true love, happiness, and joy, for eternity.

[Four-position foundation] - The four positions, (in a diamond shape), are: God, man, woman, and child, with the six lines drawn between these positions each representing two-way paths of love. Thus there are 12 types of (true) love we should learn, before we die and enter spirit world, (e.g. God expresses different "kinds" of love, to a child, to a man, or to a woman. In this way, each position in the four-position foundation has three "kinds" of love they express, and three "kinds" of love they receive, which adds up to 12 "kinds" of love we should learn). Since love is the air we breath, in the spirit world, the more complete is our capacity to give and receive these 12 “kinds” of love, the better we will be able to breath, once we enter spirit world.

[Indemnity/indemnify] - the price we must pay, to reverse consequences of "The Fall", by "setting conditions" that repeat the circumstances of past fallen behavior, while we do not repeat that fallen behavior --- This cannot be done alone, but requires that unity be created by the appropriate, successful efforts of at least two people. Also, we must beware of paying "indumbnity", which involves our being exploited in our willingness to sacrifice/suffer, by persons who promote half-truth lies from Divine Principle, for their own ignorant and/or self-centered purposes. "Indumbnity" is against God's Will, because it wastes the time and energy we could otherwise devote to accomplishing Restoration through proper indemnity.

[King and Queen of Peace] - The inadequate titles used to glorify the messianic positions of the "True Parents", who are needed by God to serve as mediators, between God and mankind, for the sake of Restoration --- The words "King" and "Queen", (as well as any reference to "royalty"), are inadequate misnomers, because they carry the connotation of prerogative license and lack of accountability, which do not apply to "Unificationist royalty".

[Love] - In the light of Divine Principle, (DP), love is the lover's unconditional willingness and commitment to fill (and help fulfill) the needs, (but not necessarily the "wants", unless they are identical to the needs), of the "being" who is loved. And DP is exponentially more advanced than any other "philosophy/teachings", in showing us exactly what we, (i.e. the living and the dead), need.

[Mind-body unity] - A state of being wherein we follow the dictates of our mind, (guided by a conscience that is armed with the full truth), rather than only following the desires generated by our physical bodies --- This is the "spiritual maturity" originally intended by God to occur naturally, if "The Fall" of Adam and Eve had not occurred. In Restoration, this mind-body unity leads us to act with the highest ideals of unselfish love.

[Original Homeland/Hometown] - The Creation that God originally intended to occur, if "The Fall" had not occurred

[Providence] – God’s Plan, or God's Will as it applies to our individual lives, and as it has guided all of mankind's development, past, present, and future

[Restoration] - "Setting conditions" that reverse the consequences of "The Fall", finally making it possible for mankind to return to the ideal world of "heaven on earth" originally intended by God, before "The Fall" --- In this process, all the persons in spirit world, who went there as spiritually immature beings because of "The Fall", also are motivated to help people on Earth in Restoration work, since it is the only means left to them, to grow to maturity. By attaching themselves to and supporting people on Earth to do God’s Will, those in the spirit world will also be filled with the ideal of unselfish, true love that God originally intended, and they will receive the same merit as the persons on Earth they help.

[Spirit world] - The world where our spirits reside, after we die ---Since our spirits cannot grow without the give-and-take action with our physical bodies, the only means left for spiritual growth is to seek a "co-relative base" with someone on earth, who still has their physical body. By supporting those on earth, the spirits in spirit world also gain the merit of fulfilling God's Will, to restore mankind back to the originally intended ideal world of unselfish, true love.

[Subject/object partners] - Subject and object are equal, in value and in importance. The nature of the subject is to initiate, while that of the object is to reciprocate. God, having initiated the Creation, is in the subject position to mankind, and man is in the subject position to woman. It is the give-and-take action of love between subject and object that creates energy.

[True love] – unselfish love that is given unconditionally, without self-centeredness --- This is the love originally intended by God, upon the initiation of the Creation. God gave one Commandment to Adam and Eve, so that they would grow up successfully and fulfill true love in their relationship, thus becoming the physical bodies, (i.e. children), horizontally, of God, who is the spiritual being that is vertically connected to mankind. By engaging in premature, self-centered love, Adam and Eve disobeyed the Commandment, thus creating hell, on Earth and in the spirit world.

[True Parents] – Adam and Eve failed to keep God’s Commandment, thus causing “The Fall” and becoming “False Parents” to mankind.
God later sent Jesus Christ, (as the second Adam), to fulfill Adam's responsibility, and when Jesus' mission was only fulfilled spiritually, He had to say, “I will come again”.
Fulfilling that prophesy, God later sent the Second Advent of Christ, (the Rev. Dr. Sun Myung Moon, as the third Adam), to fulfill Adam's responsibility both spiritually and physically, by establishing the Kingdom of Heaven physically on the Earth, as it was before “The Fall”.
Rev. Moon raised up a woman who fulfilled her responsibilities as restored Eve, which meant that God finally could work through one couple on earth, "The True Parents", as God had originally intended to do, with Adam and Eve, if they had not caused "The Fall".
The True Parents come on the foundation of the work of God and all the saints, throughout history, since "The Fall". They come to begin the final stage of Restoration, the "Completed Testament Age", in which all mankind will reach the same spiritual maturity as the True Parents, and The Creation as it existed before "The Fall" will be restored, in which the joy and happiness of unselfish, true love will reign, forevermore.
