"Cutting Off Satan's Lineage,

Which Is the Origin of this Most Evil World"

 

Blood lineage is a matter of love. Centering on love, the good

history which God intended was reversed to become the evil

history we have witnessed. While growing in the physical world,

we need parental love. If the parental love is incomplete, we will

not grow to maturity. Restoration begins from true parental love,

and it is elevated by stages. As you are elevated, you build from

what you established before, for instance, from the family level

to the tribal level. The history of restoration has reached the

world level now.

 

If the fall had not happened, a true man and woman each

representing God would have stood at the center of each level.

Unfallen Adam's family would have been the center of every level

reaching the world. On each level, they would have been the

public center. In the family, parents. In the village, the mayor.

The center serves as the bridge through which the entire group

reaches the higher level. That's how we progress. As long as the

bridge figure exists, we can access every corner on every level,

because all people would have a flat, horizontal relationship, like

one family, with all people as brothers and sisters. Then we all

climb up together to higher levels.

 

As you are being elevated, you will pay indemnity on the

horizontal level, then advance more. In the fallen world,

however, there is no such formula. Thus there is no real progress,

no elevation. We are stalemated.

 

Restoring the Order of Love

 

The teaching here is that the individual sacrifice for the family,

the family for the tribe, and so on. The lower is the material with

which to build the higher. We can be proud of ourselves for

being the center of each level, because we are the material

building the higher level. Once we reach the world level, circular

motion begins. This motion includes myself.

 

Contrary to all this, the origin of the satanic world is the person

centering himself on his own selfish purpose. Such a person will

try to eliminate others. Each person, in their conscience, wants to

become the center of the world, and to create circular motion

centering on himself. But the bridge should be centered on true

love. To be that center, one invests and invests oneself on each

level. That means to sacrifice oneself for the higher level. The

concept of selfish individualism and the exaltation of privacy

have no place here.

 

The world has been built on selfishness, which has created war

and division. God, however, did not abandon this fallen world.

He sent a new Adam, to restore the true order. The world is

divided into left and right, battling each other. In order to unite

them, we need the original world ideology. Right and left always

oppose each other, but through Godism, centering on true love,

we see the light at the end of the tunnel. Godism offers a rope of

true love, a true love pillar. Through true love we can reverse the

left-right relationship.

 

The left represents the body, the right represents the mind. We

can reverse the body's domination of the mind. We make the

same reversal, by analogy, on each stage up to the world level, at

which point the proper relationship of spirit and material will

come about, and the evil world will be gone. The fallen history of

six thousand years has brought us to the point at which this is

possible. At this return to the original point, upon which the

human beings were supposed to reach the ideal, we follow God's

word, not Satan's, and, by living for others rather than ourselves,

cut off the satanic lineage. Then we can fill up the vacuum

created by the lack of people above that line, and this creates the

kingdom of heaven. Once we cut off the satanic lineage through

True Parents, we can fill this vacant area, bringing restored

people, all humanity who lost everything because of the fall.

That will complete the history of restoration through indemnity.

That is the clean-up job.

 

Between man and woman, there should be only "conjugalism," or

"husband-wife-ism," there is no room for individualism. Through

living for each other, you can become parents, and as such invest

yourselves 100% to build your family, tribe, and reach the world

and God. Beginning from the original point, you pass through

eight stages.

 

The Last Days

 

>From the returned lost Adam, the lost true family can be found.

God comes down to the individual level to find that lost Adam.

Centering on Adam as plus, Eve is created as minus. This was the

order of creation, and it is followed in recreation. How old is the

human race? [Various figures are suggested.] It is a pure guess.

The biblical record can be multiplied by 10, by 100, or by 1,000.

Human history could be as long as 30 million years. The Bible

says there have been three periods of 2,000 years, but you can

multiply that by 10, 100 or 1000. So let's say more than 20 million

years. How many generations is that? To restore the lost Adam,

God has taken this long.

 

It represents so much human effort. For all of history, men and

women worked hard, but they spun in one place, going nowhere,

and finally the spinning stopped and they died. We have lost so

many ancestors. Think of God's heart and how much pain He has

endured. All that sacrifice for no result. Therefore, all those

ancestors are anxiously waiting in the spirit world, waiting for

their descendants to fulfill their unfinished mission. And what a

lot of resentment their ancestors have toward Adam and Eve. The

ancestors' sacrifice brought no immediate result; it was just like

fertilizer, at best. What was it all for? It was to find the true Adam

and Eve. This is why religions emphasize the life of asceticism,

not just as a concept, but as reality.

 

After this lapse of time, the Lord of the Second Advent arrived as

True Parents to restore humankind to God. The world was full of

cursing and opposition, but he overcame it all and won the

victory. But the first point is that God won. Two thousand years

ago God found one champion and sent him, His only begotten

son, to the world. But Israel killed the one who came as its own

parents. The spiritual archangel, Lucifer, destroyed Adam; the

physical nation killed the second Adam. So humankind lost Adam

spiritually and physically. This is the only way to understand the

suffering of history. This suffering was necessary for us today to

reach the world level. There was a gap, and the suffering of

God's people filled it.

 

Suppose the world opposes the Lord of the Second Advent and

eliminates him. At the time of Adam, there was space to save

him, because he was the formation stage. But the Lord today

comes in the completion stage, so there is no room for

restoration, no more time in the growth stage. Everything will be

lost if we cannot bring humankind to God; humankind will have

nowhere to go. We can see the self-destructive trends. This is

reasonable. God chased Adam out of the Garden. The third

Adam came down and gave the truth to this world. The world

could have united centering on this truth. But the allied world

opposed the Lord of the Second Advent.

 

If there are mistakes from now, they cannot be restored; those

who commit mistakes are like wasted fruit. The time is as when

Jesus cursed the fig tree; it is a fearful time. Father and God

cannot intervene to save anyone. The law of indemnity applies

to everyone. Suffering inevitably comes to those who deny God's

obvious and common sense truth, written in the conscience. So it

is from great love that Father gives the Blessing, to save the fallen

descendants. We all are fallen descendants; there are no

exceptions. All receive the Blessing in order to be reborn. All

humanity can go through the ceremony of restoration. Then we

can grow up to spiritual maturity and enjoy the heavenly

kingdom.

 

Reborn to Unite Mind and Body

 

The first stage of new life is in the mother's womb; this means

rebirth through the Blessing. The second stage is our growth in

the physical world, and the third stage is heaven in the spirit

world. We are now in the mother's womb stage worldwide. The

infants receive the holy wine, as do the children. Ideally, we

receive it in the womb.

 

These are the last days. God cannot wait another 2,000 years. He

wants to bring restoration and purification around the world at

once. The fetus receives life through the mother. Also all the

family members participate. All are connected to the ceremony of

restoration. Then they all will enjoy eternal life.

 

>From now, Father is launching this new campaign. All people,

from the womb forward in age, drink the holy wine to be

restored. If it is not done, Satan can interfere with your family for

seven generations. The holy wine ceremony, therefore, is so

precious and fearful. It is the turning point dividing the paths to

heaven and to hell.

 

You are not reborn yet, because your mind and body are not

united. Our courses are zig-zag. But we now can find the center,

straighten out our path and create circular motion. The

centripetal and centrifugal forces, in balance, create circular

motion. The unity of mind and body defines a heavenly person.

Selfishness brings disunity of mind and body.

 

If blessed couples are not perfect, we need a repair shop in the

spirit world. What caret gold are you? 36? 18? Less than zero?

God is serious when He watches us, and so is Satan. The body

controls the mind, leading the person into the world of free sex.

The archangel has no partner, so people who follow that way

cannot enter into a true partnership. People who practice free

sex risk contracting AIDS. God's power is exercised spiritually

and physically.

 

Adam and Eve were to have been the eternal ancestors. But when

they fell, God chased them out instantly. Do you think God will

act differently today? The fallen world is heading in the direction

of destruction. When Father came here, he stepped on the brake

to slow down our careening toward self-destruction. But people

resisted his putting on the brake. So Father built his own

foundation. Now he can turn the world in the right direction

through the international, interreligious Blessing. Everything is

being united in the Blessing. If your family is not related to an

international blessing, you will be in the back. Don't you think

so? I'm not an international blessing, so I don't know.

 

Blessing and Restoration

 

Originally, true marriage was to have started in Adam's family.

But they fell as brother and sister. There resulted a disorder of

love, with adultery, incest, etc. But now God is bringing the

world out of hell.

 

After World War II, restoration could have happened in seven

years. Many billions have died since then. They are resentful

toward the Christians who rejected Father back then. We can

stop this war in the spirit world. We accomplished this by

restoring the physical world. Then Father can allow Blessings in

the spirit world. So the Blessing is the key to open the physical

world and spirit world. Also it is international, interracial and

interreligious in the spirit world. Thus, as Father has conducted

the Blessing in the physical world, he has also done so in the

spirit world. First he blessed his own immediate relatives. Then

he brought the Blessing to the Christian realm, centering on

Heung Jin Nim and Daemonim.

 

Christianity only had a spiritual foundation. To connect all

Unification Church members to this, we attended the workshops

at Chung Pyung Lake. Then the physical world and spirit world

will be equal, harmonized and united. To do that, we transcend

the realm of Satan's lineage and receive the Blessing.

 

Beyond the third Adam's course, there is no indemnity, and we

will be in the realm of the fourth Adam. All families are in the

condition of Adam's family in the Garden. Father will be able to

embrace and bless all families and bring them into the Garden by

the year 2000. Moses was eighty when he brought the Israelites

out of Egypt. We are on the world level now.

 

When Father blessed 124 couples, there were 120 nations in the

UN. The 430 couples blessing took place in the 4,300th year of

Korean history. It was the national level blessing. Father opened

the gates for Koreans to enter the Kingdom of God. Then they

had to prepare to open Korea to the world. The blessed couples

were the plus and the Korean people were the minus. Then the

43 couples blessing in Japan, Europe and America reached the

world level. They initiated the process for all the tribes of the

world to enter the kingdom.

 

Then the 777 couples blessing took place, involving 10 nations

representing all people. Then 1,800 couples, which is 3 X 6. Six

is the number in the growth period Satan claimed, and 18 years

old is the borderline between the teenage years and adulthood.

This is where free sex can begin. Satan acts from that time.

 

Man is in the archangel position. It is awkward for men to serve

women, opening the door for them, etc., but God trained the

archangelic man this way, so that we would be able to serve the

bride. He is to serve the queen of Adam. This began after World

War I. But women took advantage of this to sit back and boast.

That is okay only if you have a baby in your arms.

 

Laws reflect the ruling conscience of the society. So the modern

divorce laws send the children with the mother. If they sent the

children with the father and had no alimony clause, would so

many divorces take place? No. The status of bride is over when

you become a wife.

 

Male and Female

 

God created all things for Adam and Eve to use. He invested

every ounce of His energy. Adam was created as the pinnacle of

all things. Adam and Eve unite not through the noses connecting

together, but through the sexual organs connecting. When

people kiss, they have to move their noses out of the way. And

the man is always on top, except for playboys depicted by

Hollywood.

 

You cannot make love by yourself. Centering on love, man and

woman become one, and lineage is created. In Korea the saying

is that the first stage of a boy and girl in love is the eyes meeting,

then the mouths meeting. If the girl took the initiative, the boy

will be controlled by her. If he takes the initiative, she will follow

him. Who usually takes the kissing initiative in the modern

world? Woman.

 

Husbands like to touch their wife's hips, which are round and

soft. She feels happy when he rubs against her hips. In the

original world, the male is considered more attractive and

beautiful than the female. Consider the rooster, the peacock and

the turkey. The male attracts the female. Males sing and females

respond. They approach each other, and become quiet. Love is

the magnet that takes you to God. Convex and concave should

become one. If another force interferes at that moment, you will

throw your house against it. This is true among all races.

 

Anyone who can see only their own race is colorblind. In each

day, there are many colors--dawn, midday, etc. Cows don't care

about each other's colors. If we eat the same thing every meal,

we become tired of it. When opposites meet, there is

stimulation. Hot water poured into ice water creates noise and

steam. The vibration created by corresponding entities is greater

the more distance there is between them. Perfection comes

through the interplay of plus and minus.

 

They call Rev. Moon a playboy, believing he seduces women and

that this is why he has so many female followers. Father shares

deep teachings about true love of husband and wife. Do all

female Unification Church members fall in love with Father? If

you say yes, your husband may attack Father. This is why men

want to be rid of Father. The stronger the male persecution, the

stronger the female attachment. Therefore, Rev. Moon is called

the king of the playboys. It is ironic that we, who are teaching

absolute sex, are deemed worse than homosexuals.

 

But the time is different. In the past, the media was against me.

Now it is just the Washington Post. They added great excitement

to the Blessing. By studying us, however, they will eventually

realize that what we are doing is healthy.

 

Uniting Plus and Minus

 

I have been teaching directly about love for five years, but I still

have more content in storage. If you practice true love, people

will say, "Yankee don't go home!" You are happy now. But in

general, as a Unification member, are you happy? (Yes.) If you

had plenty of money, cars, airplanes, wouldn't you be happier?

(No.) To describe one aspect of the true husband-wife

relationship, you want to possess everything in order to give it to

your spouse. And you extend your love beyond your spouse to

your in-laws.

 

Rev. Moon wants to offer everything to God; all things follow me

because I am a true owner. A true owner is defined by constant

giving. Brazil has 160 million people, and Father wants to give

blessings to all of them. He doesn't count what he gives to others.

Heavenly fate supports this. One grows when one becomes a

minus to heaven. Heavenly fate protects your life. Heaven works

to balance the pair system, to harmonize partners. The one who

gives, therefore, becomes the minus which is filled by heaven.

 

You think you want to dress up and be in the best restaurant with

the most admired, beautiful or handsome member of the

opposite sex. But better than that is to be there with your

beloved. If you are even in the lowest place, and are tempted by

beautiful women, you will shake them off them for the sake of

your wife. All people respect this. Even fallen people will give

you a standing ovation. This humble person will receive the

standing ovation, and then, on stage, he will take off his shabby

coat to reveal a suit of gold.

 

Unification is best when it unites entities from far distances,

including east and west. [Father speaks on the eastern and

western ways of putting on one's coat and eating. Fingers and

knuckles. Printing text. Calling to others. Revealing oneself.]

 

Everything goes through a formula to reach true love. In the

Orient, silence is valued, silent meditation, because the universe

began in silence and tranquillity. God has been absolutely silent

for thousands of years, yet no one has noticed. To receive from

God, we should be more patient and quiet than He is.

 

A New Start

 

[On the problems created because the world has many

languages.] The quality of a language is based not on how well it

conveys science, technology, or economics, but on how well it

expresses love. True love emerges from the unification of God

and true parents. To learn true love teaching, we all will want to

learn Korean. To spread true love teachings, Father has

published 200 volumes.

 

Father has been teaching constantly for several days, and he had

long meetings yesterday. I didn't expect you to be here; I

expected to pray alone, because it takes time for you to get back

from the DC mobilization. But by the fact that you are here to

meet me, means we have a new start, and we have already won

the 360 million couples blessing victory.

 

Let us complete the 360 Million couples blessing by the end of

May, '98. That is six months away. We will celebrate it in three

locations. The entire world will be watching, and the world will

be eager to join in. The world will recognize the value of blessed

couples. At first we appeared before the world as beggars, but

now they see us to be loving and serving. The whole world will

respect, follow and resemble blessed couples. Thus we embrace

the world.

 

360 million couples equals 720 million adults. If we connect four

relatives on the wife's side and four more on the husband's side,

plus children, the total is three billion, which is over half the

world population. When we reach this level, we will build a

world tribe, world nation and true world.

 

Children are good at the Internet. They will learn about the

Blessing through the Internet. They will find their true love

spouse on the Internet. So, send the news of the 39.6 million

couples blessing out on the Internet. Everyone will know of it.

>From this perspective, we are happy the Washington Post stood

in opposition to the Blessing. Youth with clear thinking will see

the reality and follow the truth, rejecting the Washington Post.

They will demand that the Post print the truth. Thus the world

will change.

 

At that level, we can free the world so that all races together can

build the Kingdom of God on earth. It will center not on

democracy or communism but upon headwing ideology and

Godism. Even slow-witted intellectuals will begin to

comprehend.

 

Love Creators

 

We begin the new era. Rebirth by holy wine is the formation

stage. The growth stage is the restoration process. The

completion stage is eternal life. We connect to eternal life by

eternal love. There are three levels of blessing for Unification

Church members: church, nation and world. The world level is

the kingdom of heaven on earth. We can open the nation by

reaching the world level. These are parts of the growth stage,

which requires indemnity through eight stages. We progress by

investing and forgetting.

 

This center of investment for the sake of others can go over every

obstacle, everywhere. In that center, God and True Parents are

liberated, and we are forever free. In the near future, we do not

need any prayer. Instead of praying, read and study Father's

lifelong victorious record, which is recorded in Father's speeches.

That content is the plus axis. Follow Father's standard of love

with absolute faith, love and obedience. The universe was

created through absolute faith, love and obedience. Absolute

faith opens everything, every creature in the Pantenau.

 

The 360 million couples will clean up everything. Then

everything will be flat ("the valleys will rise up, and the high

places brought down"). The center point of this plane is God and

True Parents. This is meaning of the realm of the cosmic Sabbath

and parents of heaven and earth. God can come down to that

plane. He will bring the restored archangel and connect with

saints and sages in the spirit world, completing Adam's position.

This is the complete foundation for all the human race, centering

on your family.

 

Heavenly fate will come to children of filial piety, patriots, saints

and divine sons and daughters in that place. God will dwell in

our bodies, as will the entire angelic world. Billions of people will

come into our bodies. Our conscience should embrace them. Our

conscience will even go beyond God if there is something

greater we can grasp.

 

Even one of your forty billion cells is the seed for an unlimited

number of new cells. This is why our desire is unlimited. The

conscience does not want to be filled with money, but with

saints and sages who resemble God. Then it expands and

embraces all the saints and wants more, and they come to the

earth and embrace everyone here. You can say, I am a love

creator. You can love others everywhere. You will challenge God

to be a love creator greater than Him.

 

Tour of Spirit World

 

I will walk across the world and jump into the kingdom of

heaven. I will reach the "True Love Huge World Center." You

can cut off Satan's blood lineage day and night, wherever you

may be, by giving the Blessing. Fallen people stole everything

from God, and used this stolen property as thieves. So they

should return everything to God. The wealth was taken by Satan;

this means that everything will return through the True Parents.

True Parents bring a natural, prosperous and just structure to this

entire world. Absolute ownership comes through absolute love.

To whom does America belong? There is more to be done before

we can say that America belongs to God. God's world is a world

of absolute, unchanging love.

 

Establish the three generations of goodness in your family. Then

we can climb up the ladder and create one world under God.

This true family is the world in microcosm, in which all are equal.

Without this we will not be able to make any progress in spirit

world. If we achieve this, we can call our ancestors up to our

level in the spirit world.

 

When Father takes a tour of spirit world, where will we go? We

will face Father, but what if you are in chains and you cannot go

to Father? You may not be able to reach Father. You will be

ashamed that on earth you did not work with Father more

actively. Father will not be able to liberate you there; if he tried

to he would be violating his own teachings. Everyone else is in

heaven, but what if you are chained in hell? What will you do?

That's why we need this physical world. Life on earth is brief

compared with the spirit world.

 

Perhaps you would like to wear a coat made from diamonds. You

can do it in spirit world, and stand in it overlooking the kingdom

of heaven. You can travel with Father and God in spirit world. But

if you live as an aloof and selfish person, it will not come to pass.

This is not a lie. The added value necessary is true love.

 

The True Love Highway

 

All the universe is a highway, centering on love. Insects, flowers,

all entities have an electricity which connects when you put the

plug in the socket. It's natural, not inconvenient. Time and space

are no problem. If you want to travel a million miles, when your

mind goes there, you arrive. When you say something, it is

substantialized. You can visit a diamond moon, and live there a

thousand years if you like. But eventually you will return to your

husband, your wife, which is the most valuable love. You will

have a true love bed, true love floor, true love furniture, it is all

made of true love. This is the place of eternal excitement.

 

The most evil thing is Satan's lineage. It brings the separation of

mind and body, man and woman, parents and children. This

means we lost everything at the beginning. If we unite them, we

can welcome God and cross the boundary to the Kingdom of

Heaven. When everything is connected with ideal love, it can be

perfected.

 

The national messiahs are king of their land if they fulfill this

principle. They want to make a home for Father in each county.

You are different from me, but what is the same color is true love.

Everything belongs to true love.

 

Once we clean up Satan's blood lineage, this is how the new

world is born. When the time comes for us all to move there, are

you going to carry your satanic blood-stained body and

possessions? Become new! Your eyes, ears, nose, and all senses

will face heaven.

 

[We recite Pledge #5.] This means that everyday, we bring the

360 million couples blessing. We will make the round circle

smooth in a short time if we make a successful completion. So

don't be separated from True Parents. Drop the baggage you are

carrying from the satanic world. Just wear gym shoes. When you

arrive in the new world, everything is there for you, waiting.

There are no boundaries. You can have a big house, land, a

hundred cows.

 

Oneness with Nature

 

In North America, the Pilgrims came and divided everything, but

many parts of South America are untouched. The Amazon and

the Pantenau have many resources. There are 30 million species

of insects in the Pantenau, 1,500 species of birds and 3,300

species of fish. Father wants to preserve and protect them, not to

lose anything.

 

Different villages will be responsible for specific species of

insects. There will be more and more entomology Ph.D.'s. We

won't need a formal school. We will utilize the Internet, video

tapes, and so forth. Professors will guide the students' reading

and answer questions. Specialists will raise the insects, birds,

fish and animals, and all families will take care of them, feeling

the joy God felt at creation. Businessmen will remember that they

have to feed their insects and will jump on the next plane home.

There is no qualitative difference between loving an insect and

an elephant.

 

Your entire family will enjoy it. There will be swimming pools

and all kinds of recreation. Like they did to St. Francis, all the

creatures will come to you. You can train them to follow you, sit

on your shoulder, and so forth. Each family member will study a

different set of creatures, and you will exchange information.

You can set up automated feeding. Each family member will

have their favorites in their room. Towns will be named after the

type of creature they take care of, like "Birdtown."

 

God poured His love into insects. They are male and female.

Even bacteria is male and female. Do they have a sex organ? We

can see it through a strong microscope. Also we can see their

eyes, ears and nose and nerve system. They have something like

that, albeit on a lesser degree than higher creatures.

 

Study God's Word

 

One CD can contain 500 volumes of Father's words. You can

carry a library in your pocket. Father's talk today can be sent to

the world today, by Internet. This will surpass the interest people

have in politicians. The world and spirit world will be full of

Father's words. Even in bed you can hear Father's words. Father

knows the Internet. If it had a desire, what would it like to

transmit? True love, not cheap messages. Headquarters can

transmit a daily Principle exam to the world by Internet. The

computer also can grade the exams, checking for the presence of

the key words. The present-day school system will be outmoded.

This will be a project of the University Federation for World

Peace.

 

The University of Bridgeport is creating distance learning. Our

members' company repaired the Hubble telescope. Members are

developing cutting-edge media. The Washington Times was the

first newspaper to set up a web site. Father predicted these

things years ago, and no one believed him.

 

At 6 am everyday, have a "Gathering for Teaching and

Reading"(Hoon Doh Quai) at your home. There will be tests in

the future, centering on the Completed Testament Age

teachings. Those who pass will be qualified to travel around the

world and teach families.

 

Instead of Father, you do the 360 million couples blessing.

 

[Everyone responded: "I will do it. I have complete confidence."

Rev. Peter Kim gave the closing prayer.]
