Honoring a Coronation and a Birth
–
True Father
Adam and Eve’s mind and body were disunited; the mind
and body of the brothers were disunited; and people
committed sexual sins out of their belief that they were
the best. The lineage was turned upside down and the
realm of love between brothers was completely
overturned. In the end, individualism emerged centering
on the rights of ownership themselves, and Satan came to
claim the entire world as his own. Satan made a complete
mess of everything. This must be brought together into
harmony by the Lord at the Second Coming. When people
come to know these things and particularly when
politicians come to know these things, they should
understand the path they are walking down.…
Message from the Heart: to leaders and his sons – True
Father
You
still haven’t achieved the standard of a family that can
live as God’s representative. You cannot forget that you
have that responsibility; establishing Adam’s family is
your mission. On a platform of global victory, you are
to establish Jesus and based on having done so, you are
to attend God. For me, from the start, the problem has
not been the nation but the world. Jesus’ bloodline is
entirely different. We thought that his mother was shown
this in a dream, but that isn’t what happened. With
unified content, in the horizontal era, the substantial
era, with a lineage different from that of other
people’s, when he made up his mind, he would never give
up or yield. What the whole family wants, the village
community also has to be involved in. We passed through
an era of struggle in which Satan’s entire history
manifested.
True
Mother’s Mother:
She
immediately went to Seoul and was able to see True
Father at the former headquarters church in the Cheongpa
district. She was surprised to find that he looked
exactly like the Lord that appeared twice in her dreams
during her time with the Inside the Belly Church.
Enraptured in infinite joy and gratitude, she listened
to him speak. But father continuously scolded her
directly and treated her harshly. After a week of
enduring such harsh ordeals, she was finally formally
introduced to True Father by deaconess Jeong Seok-on,
the elder sister of Elder Jeong Seok-cheon, after a
Sunday sermon that had begun and ended in tears. She
then went to Chuncheon and began witnessing to people.
Universal
Peace Federation Agenda 2006
We may
conceive of IIFWP, IIPC and UPF as stages in the
development of a human family, for example, as parent,
child and grandchild, each with different given names,
but carrying the same family name:—Peace—and remaining
part of the same lineage. I cannot say enough about the
experience of the world peace tour which Father Moon
initiated. At eighty-six, he is fully inspired,
energized and on fire for peace, continually ready to
lay down his life for this mission. In nation after
nation, the outpouring of support was overwhelming. I
can only say that through UPF I believe we truly have an
opportunity to bring about profound changes in our world
for the sake of lasting peace.
Meeting
Core Leaders at Central City
–
An interview
Was
there something that stood out from the Central City
meeting as particularly moving?
Father’s giving us the name “ambassador for peace” with
the intention of our working to make a peaceful world is
moving. The name indicates our mission. No nation, no
government administration, no organization thought of
this before or ever intended to do this kind of work,
but the Unification group is involved in the very
moving, valuable, worthwhile activity of saving
humanity.
Women
Take to the Battlefield
Mr.
Kim Ho-gee, the international team liaison for the Peace
Cup, went as far as to say that the average person in
Korea might not be aware that women’s football teams
exist in their country. So, readers might wonder whether
there is a pool of players large enough to support even
a fourth women’s team. Mr. Kim explained that because
the other three teams welcomed a newcomer, they released
their players to try out for the Chungnam Ilhwa Chunma
Women’s’ Football Club. In addition to this, seven
universities in Korea have women’s soccer teams.
According to Mr. Kim, “Since there are only four teams,
there’s actually a relatively wide selection of players
to choose from.”
Finally
Home: Turning my city upside down
On
my first day as church leader, I had service with eleven
members; there were only three Koreans and the rest were
from Japan, the Philippines and Thailand. I was
determined to restore the city of Samcheok with these
members and worked as if I were putting my life on the
line. Many younger church leaders had served at this
church before I did. I had spent forty-seven years and
eights months in public missions at True Father’s side
and knew that if what I leave behind in this church is
no different from that of the previous church leaders,
who have only ten to twenty years in public missions,
the members will be disappointed and will feel there is
no one they can trust or depend on.
