God’s Model for Absoluteness, Peace and the Ideal
Is the Family and Global Kingdom
Upholding Absolute Sexual Morality
Dr. Rev. Sun Myung Moon
November 21, 2006
Korea International Exhibition Center
Goyang, Korea

Beloved blessed 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 must 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. This is the first observance of True Children’s Day, one of the four
great providential milestones, following the victory of the Coronation for
God’s Kingship in 2001 and the beginning of the providence of Cheon Il Guk (God’s
Kingdom) that was proclaimed at the time of the Entrance Ceremony of the
Cheon Jeong Gung Peace Palace and the coronation ceremony, in June this year.
To commemorate this significant day and renew our resolve, I would like to
convey Heaven’s words on the subject of “God’s Model for Absoluteness, Peace
and the Ideal Is the Family and Global Kingdom Upholding Absolute Sexual
Morality,” 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 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 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 fetters of fraternal
conflict.
Throughout history, peace movements inevitably reached their limit and ended
in failure because they were carried out by imperfect human beings. This why
the United Nations, although launched with the splendid dream of realizing
world peace, today has to admit its innate 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, to
renew the UN and provide the leadership for a new sovereignty of universal
peace known in Korean as Cheon Il Guk. Therefore, please bear in mind that
you, as the world’s leaders, are given the heavenly mission to build God’s
substantial homeland, which is no less than the ideal that God intended at
the time of creation.
God’s Purpose of Creation
Respected world leaders, 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 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, 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.
Ladies and gentlemen, it was necessary for Adam and Eve to establish a model,
peaceful, ideal family. 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 determined by Heaven. The essence of this
path is the standard of absolute sexual morality.
Absolute Sexual Morality
The first stage is maintaining absolute sexual morality—in other words a
standard of 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 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 prerequisite that human beings must
uphold no matter who they are; that is maintaining their purity. Sexual
purity is based on an absolute model of 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 to perfect an absolute model of sexual morality.
What was the single word, the one and only commandment God gave to Adam and
Eve, the first human ancestors, upon their creation? It was the commandment
and blessing to maintain an absolute standard of sexual abstinence until
Heaven’s approval of their marriage. We find 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 had 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 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 be married with His Blessing as His true children, become true
husband and wife, produce true children and become true parents. This
deepens our understanding of this commandment: it was not something separate
from absolute sexual morality, which is a principle of God’s creation. The
profound truth that lay hidden within God’s commandment throughout history
was this: human beings must inherit and live by a model of sexual morality
that is intrinsic to God’s ideal for creation in order to perfect their
individuality as God’s children, and establish themselves as lords of
creation.
Second is the absolute model of sexual morality in the relationship 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 original source of that which is absolute, unique,
unchanging and eternal. This is because it is a heavenly principle that
people cannot give birth to children by themselves, even if they live for a
thousand years. How can people who preserve their purity before marriage and
become bonded together in purity as husband and wife by Heaven deviate from
the heavenly way and go astray, following the wrong path? Human beings are
different from animals; if they understand God’s purpose in creating them as
His children, they will realize that wrong path is one of betrayal and
defiance to the Creator beyond imagination; it is a path of destruction
along which they dig their own graves. Resulting from the human Fall, this
path is outside the realm of the ideal of creation.
Ladies and gentlemen, absolute sexual morality is the greatest blessing that
Heaven has bestowed on humankind. Without adhering to the standard 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 morality within a true family through perfected persons,
it is impossible for God to establish His stature as a personal God and
incarnate God. 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 morality, as God does. 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 originally should have been. This life includes the three-generational
realm of grandparents, parents, children and grandchildren. Please
understand clearly that God’s eternal life and a human being’s eternal life
are made possible only on this foundation.
Therefore, if, upholding absolute sexual morality, Adam and Eve had achieved
individual perfection—the perfection of their character—in accordance with
God's will, and entered into conjugal relations through His Blessing, they
would have attained complete oneness with Him. God would have dwelt within
their union. Also, their children 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 their absolute
sexual morality, would have been God's own marriage. While God is forever
God, also Adam and Eve would have become the embodiment of God. 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 absolute sexual morality.
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.
With it, 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 covering 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 model, 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.
Instead, false love, false life and false lineage 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 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. 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 Rev. 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. It is a mission to complete
not only the mission of the Savior, Messiah, and Lord at his second coming,
but also the mission 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, Rev. 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 Rev. Moon—a life that has been one of perfecting
a model of sexual morality? 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 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 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.
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 filial son who gains his greatest satisfaction through 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
dissipate the barriers fallen human beings 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 prerequisite for entering the 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. 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 cosmic 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 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.
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 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, 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. 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 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 a hundred years before it stops functioning, but the spirit
lasts eternally, transcending time and space. Isn’t even a person who
dresses and fares well in the physical world bound to die? Therefore, before
you pass on to the next world, you should achieve unity 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 bodies based on the finite life you live in the tangible,
physical world. This does not mean, however, that the perfection of a 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 actions, 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 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 the remaining days of your life on earth
be spent 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, speech and behavior 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, perfect absolute sexual morality 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 heaven? In brief, heaven 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. The people
of heaven are born through true love, live in the embrace of true love, and
follow the track of true love all the way to the day they pass on into the
next world, the spirit world.
Heaven 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 not a world governed by money, position or power. In heaven, 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.
Heaven is a world filled with the air of true love, where all breathe true
love. Its life throbs with love, everywhere and all the time. The citizens
of heaven are all linked together through their common membership in God’s
lineage. There, the whole world and all its people are linked together 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 will 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. It is the model for living together as one. There we have love and
respect between parents and children, mutual fidelity and love between
husband and wife, and trust and mutual reliance among siblings. 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 of your conscience, and
your conscience is the vertical subject 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 His peace
kingdom. If only the entire world were filled with such true families! It
would be an orderly world where people governed themselves by the heavenly
way 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 siblings and younger siblings set an example of
living for the sake of one another, how could they do anything unforgivable?
What chance 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, without any dark shadows.
The Intercultural “Exchange” 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 forth 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 Blessing. The Holy 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 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 absolute sexual morality through the intercultural
exchange 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 blessed through intercultural marriage through the perfection
of absolute sexual morality.
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 Blessing is yours, either as newlywed couples or as already married
couples, that you may establish true families.
True Parents’ Peace Movement
Ladies and gentlemen, 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, I
propose that we build a passage for transit across the Bering Strait, that
remnant of Satan’s historical division between east and west, and north and
south, and where the North American and Russian landmasses are separated.
This passage, which I call the “World Peace King Bridge and 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 manmade 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 make war with each other.
The Arrival of the Kingdom of the Peaceful, Ideal World
Beloved blessed families, you are now living in the most blessed and exalted
time in history. The Age 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 in
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 humanity, 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 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 one family.
Therefore, each of us should bear in mind that it is our providential
calling to form and establish a true family. It is the way we can advance
the establishment of the cosmic 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 Age 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 families and this blessed planet Earth that
God has given us?
Ladies and gentlemen, I have said that in the Age after the Coming of Heaven
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
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 families in the Age 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
Blessing on the world level. This will bring to a close the conflict between
Cain and Abel, which began in 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 Cosmic Peace. 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 sibling 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 Age after the Coming of Heaven. This is the time
when, metaphorically speaking, the sun is directly overhead, such that no
shadow is cast. This signifies that the era before heaven, including the
Old, New and Completed Testament ages, has been surmounted. These eras have
required immeasurable restitution and atonement in re-creating 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. 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 Cosmic Peace in the world of eternal
liberation and freedom—where there is no need for the Savior, Messiah nor
Second Advent of the Lord—and fulfill the dutiful family way of filial sons
and daughters, patriots, saints, and divine sons and daughters!
By following God’s commandment to uphold absolute sexual morality, 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 without the Fall!
Let us establish a model ideal family to bring the complete settlement of
the cosmic ideal realm of liberation and complete 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 cosmic peace
that can be praised for all eternity!
May God’s blessings be upon your family, your nation and the world for all
eternity!
Thank you.
