God's Settling and Liberation

Cheonghae Garden, Yeosu, South Jeolla, Korea

Today is the sixteenth day of the fourth lunar month, and four times four is sixteen (4×4=16). The number sixteen! Age fifteen, for a man or woman, is when the coming-of-age ceremony is held. Korea keeps that tradition, but the world does not know it.

The Korean people are the only people who carry the grave about and who, for the sake of a gravesite, play at trading away not only their property but even their kin.

The Liberation of God

President Moon protects God's grave, but the dead God must be brought back to life. God must be liberated, I say. Where is there such a phrase as “the liberation of God”? The one who lives for that is the person here. When Father asks, no one can answer. Even if I stay still, my mouth answers.

What does Father do throughout his life with the individual, the family, and the lineage?

After the lineage comes the tribe. Twelve tribes enter into a people.

Only when twelve tribes enter does it become a people. It is not individual, family, tribe, people, nation, or world. It is individual, family, lineage, tribe. In the middle, centering on the nation, the husk of the twelve tribes is attached. That is what I have done.

Whoever has received teaching in the spirit world through Father does not fall away. It is so wherever you go. When you call, “Hey, is anyone there?” they come. Even cursing, “Wench, what are you doing?” they answer, “I am here.”

A person who cannot fulfill responsibility as a granddaughter of several generations, or as a son or daughter of descendants hundreds of generations later, cannot follow in the position of True Parents.

It is the position of individual perfection, the position of family perfection, and the position of lineage perfection. Between the tribe and the nation, there is the husk called the people. That is the exchange of bloodlines. It is marriage. Believing in Christianity, you cannot go to the Kingdom of Heaven. Each individual splits apart. They do not know how important marriage is, how grave the Blessing is.

The seed exists only in Korea. Only in me, I say. Even if there are millions of kings, they are not all kings. The King of Kings is one person. Even if there are thousands or tens of thousands, the parents are one pair, not two pairs.

What are two pairs of fakes?

Do you understand? “Yes.” Know it clearly. From now on, the funds for nation-building must be prepared. They are the funds for building the nation of Heaven.

You must perfect the way of the filial son, the loyal subject, the virtuous woman, and the saint of the heavenly nation-building, and you must perfect the way of the family.

The pledge is all set up that way, is it not? “Yes.” Read it and see whether anything is left out. It is a fearsome pledge. There is not a single thing left out. As for who composed it—it is not I who composed it; it was composed together with God.

Father merely wrote it down, and the one who had it written that way was God, I say. It came forth from God. There is none of my thoughts.

Since we have lost the heavenly parent and the earthly parent, the octagonal pavilion is needed. The only nation that has the octagonal pavilion is Korea. In Korea, for the sake of a gravesite, they play at selling property and even selling the nation. In buying that land, even if one sells one's own property and authority and becomes a slave and is ruined, one still seeks to bury the ancestors' bones there.

The Chinese do not do that either, and the Soviets do not do that either. In some nations, they burn it up, do they not? Why do they burn it up? Do they say something can be made of it even alone?

What do they call liberation?

It is haetal (deliverance, release). They say they can attain haetal without God. Haetal does not happen at will. Wait ten thousand years and see.

Did an amoeba become a human being?

It rises through more than a thousand stages from the amoeba, so does it simply become a human being? Pray for a hundred million years to become a human being. Watch and see whether it happens. Father's word is right.

Na-kae-mu-a

Say “Amu-kae-na!" “Amu-kae-na!” What is the reverse? “Na-kae-mu-a!” When you dig out the self and become no-self, God the Father comes!

When persecuted and in hardship, what do you do?

Because I thought na-kae-mu-a, even if you struck me, I would win. Having so won and become the chief in pioneering, I hold the privilege of being able to do as I please. Because even God can follow behind me, even the liberation of God must finish na-kae-mu-a in a hundred of the thousand years, in thirteen of the hundred years. It must all be finished in one lifetime.

Do you know that last year was the forty-seventh Parents' Day? “Yes.” It was the forty-eighth Children's Day. Four times eight is thirty-two (4×8=32). A person's teeth are thirty-two in all.

Whether the Communist Party or the Democratic Party, President Moon can peel both fellows open—one to the right, one to the left—and swallow them. Democracy cannot beat President Moon, and communism cannot beat him. Because even the God of the night and the God of the day cannot beat President Moon, they look to President Moon's hand.

To save such a God, I went through every kind of bitter hardship. There is no nation where I have not gone to prison. When I walked the seven-year course, our missionaries in twenty-seven nations did prison time. The people of twenty-seven nations went to prison in 120 nations. Within three days, within a week, they went in all at once. “Well done. You cannot kill them at your will.” That was it. They could not shed blood.

When Father was tortured, I bit my tongue hard. You must make the blood come and spit it out. Because they trod on that blood I had scattered as they came and went, Satan could not follow.

When the people of Israel, centering on Moses, left Egypt, they scattered the blood of the firstborn and trod on it and crossed over. It is the same in entering the nation of Heaven. “You, sacrifice! Holding your own right of ownership, you cannot cross over,” it says.

This here is a message sent by the four great philosophers of the Western world. They are Descartes, Kant, Hegel, and Nietzsche. They are the four great mountain ranges of Western philosophy, and centering on their thought, having become the one figure of a clan, there is a halo. There is the halo of Kant, the halo of Hegel, the halo of Nietzsche, I say.

What becomes of such a halo if there is no substance?

Without the sun, there is no shadow. Surely, when the substance comes forth, it becomes a shadow according to its shape, so what then?

I thought the four great philosophers had gone to the Kingdom of Heaven, but they are at the very bottom, even among the hells of the spirit world, I say. Looking at this, it is surely so. The four great philosophers were called up in the spirit world and interviewed. This is not a lie.

(Looking at the notebook) It is from May 4 to May 6 of 2009. May 5, the Dano festival of the fifth month, was left out. To become a pair, this must match. It must become a pair. The fingers of the right hand are five—how many for the left? Five.

The left has five—how many for the right? Where does it move?

You clasp this way, and there are two kinds: the person whose left hand goes on top of the right and the person whose right hand goes on top of the left. It is Cain and Abel. The person whose left hand goes on top of the right is not Cain. Abel must save the Cains who have gone to hell.

Abel Must Save Cain

Now, bring the left and right hands together and clasp them. Do not open them—clasp them firmly, and let those whose right hand is caught beneath the left stand up.

Let those whose right hand is below the left stand up. Are there more who remain seated, or more who stood up? The women! “There are more who stood up.” It is set up so that there are more who stand up.

To go to the Kingdom of Heaven, the left hand must be better than the right. You must sacrifice, I say. You must sacrifice and serve. Because you sacrifice and serve, the right hand cannot go on top. Even the sovereign must kneel and bow before the filial sons, loyal subjects, saints, and martyrs. When morning comes, I mean. I lived that way.

Did your hand have the left on top too? “Yes.”

If you ask that auntie, she tries to help unquestionably. There is no condition. Did the groom come too? “He did not come today.” Does the groom have the right hand on top or the left? “The left goes on top.” Both must sacrifice. Then, with no property and no house, you must rent another's house once a week and live there.

To keep the Sabbath, you say, “God, I worked six days and have come to this house to worship on the day of rest.” It is making its way toward the right side. If I ask you to let me sleep, you must let me sleep.

When a beggar comes to your house, what must you do? When you ask, “What sort of person is the one outside? A man, or a woman?” and they say, “It is a woman,” then—” Going about begging is hard, so your hand is rough. I will give you a few coins, so hold out your hand!” you say.

When you give the money, she will clasp it, and when she clasps your hand that way, watch whether the left hand goes on top or the right. If the left hand goes on top, give double. There is such a law. I live that way.

Whenever I went to the labor site, I was a first-rate laborer. At the labor site, I did not run away. I did everything, I say. When clearing the slag at the factory in Kawasaki, in the morning, I did seven times what others did. I was paid five or six times as much. So I alone, by working, was paid money enough for seven people to live on. By working one day, I helped seven friends.

If they had no tuition, I helped, and if they had nothing to eat, I bought it and shared it out. I lived that way.

At first, the village gathered to watch, saying a strange person had come in. They even brought the dogs and cats, and they barked. One old man opposed, saying, “This fellow—isn't he a thief's spawn?” “God sees it all. He is a good man beyond your fathers and holds a foundation more astonishing than the ancestors, and if you treat such a person with contempt, you will be struck by lightning. To pay the indemnity for that, you must repay it dozens of times over. Do you know that?” I said.

Anyone who fell and was driven out has no way to meet God or to receive God's seed. Until now, God's seed has not been able to land. Only after receiving the Blessing and passing seven years can one have conjugal life.

You must fill out ten years. Combining three years individually and seven years of conjugal life to fill out ten years, you become a pair-number.

Until now, the people of odd numbers have all gone to hell. Going to hell that way, the couples all split apart. Coming to Father's era, I made the odd number into a pair number.

Unless that is done, you cannot cross the threshold of the Kingdom of Heaven. Descendants of hundreds of generations cannot enter first into the Kingdom of Heaven that the ancestors are to enter.

There is the heavenly principle (천리). The character “ri” (理) is the character for “king” (王) as a radical with the character for “village” (里). The place to which two people must go, having become one, is the Kingdom of Heaven.

What kind of place is the Kingdom of Heaven?

There is the nation of the man, the nation of the woman, the nation of the father, the nation of the mother, the nation of the elder brother, the nation of the elder sister, the nation of the brother-in-law, the nation of the daughter-in-law—all of them.

The Korean Language Is the Common Tongue of Heaven and Earth

What is the title of the Message we read at Hoon Dok Hae today?

“It is 'The Jesus He Was Trying to Find.'” Today is precisely the right day. Decades have passed since Father prophesied, but at this time, it all comes to pass. The dates too all match. For the number sixteen, the word corresponding to the number sixteen comes out. I do not know how it is so perfectly matched.

Who made it match?

I do not know, but God knows. That is why He says, “I believe in President Moon.”

Why? Because, knowing all that no one knows, I go to God; God says, “Hey, hey, hey, go well!” and before going, He smooths out all three stages of the path to go. When going, if there is a large tree, He strikes that tree down.

If you have no strength to strike it down, then cut it yourself and go up, He says. He says to break the rock and go up. Hard as it is, you must break it; otherwise, the descendants, going beneath the rock, will collapse.

The spirits, having been waiting in the spirit world, sweep up a hundred or a thousand at once and throw them into hell all at once. There is a place of waiting, I say, in the spirit world. You say, “Aigo, I am dying,” do you not? The word aigo (I go) is English. The word “I am going, I am dying” is aigo.

When doing business in Korea, when the time comes to eat morning, noon, and evening, or when the time comes to do something, they sing, “Aigo, aigo, aigo……!” Even if you dislike it, you must do that. Only then do you go to the high Kingdom of Heaven, it is said.

Now, everyone! Are there more sitting beside, or more standing?

The men! “Among the men there are more sitting, and among the women there are more standing.” This is fake. Finally, if you cannot stand on the right side of the woman, you cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven. A person who took a concubine and made his wife weep cannot go to the Kingdom of Heaven.

What must such a person do?

When holding a sixtieth-birthday feast, a wedding feast, or a birthday feast, you begin the banquet, and while they doze in the quiet, you use an electrical device to kill the ovum and kill the sperm so they bear no offspring. It is done so that they leave no seed.

The one who puts himself first can go neither to the Kingdom of Heaven nor to hell and stays in one place mid-air. Going round and round in circles in that village for ten thousand years, what becomes of him?

Since he was driven out without ancestors, he vanishes so that no one knows where he goes. It is wretched. Everyone hates even to look at it or think of it. Because Father has prepared to hand over even to the one who can die ten thousand times, beyond the one who can die a hundred times and a thousand times, when you ask, there is nothing Father does not know and nothing he cannot answer.

There is no role Father has not tried. The Washington Times is revising the autobiography. Because I told Dong Moon Joo of the Washington Times to take responsibility, they came secretly without my knowledge and held a meeting. “You did well at that,” I said. I was late this morning in receiving that report. (Dong Moon Joo, report; English is not only in America but has become the common language of the whole world.

Even America's adversary nations, such as Russia, China, and North Korea, hold English as the foremost foreign language. Because it has become the world's common language……)

Now the Korean language becomes the common tongue of heaven and earth. That is the root, the root.

If it does not become so, I will go to the spirit world and strike it and remodel it instantly. Then it is transferred just as it is onto the earth. The Unification Church members will have the very ground they stand on taken from them. The thieves will seize it. Because that is fearsome, I come here and play at riding the boat to the end and keeping Hoon Dok Hae to the end. Wherever I go, I yield to no one and keep it, I say. Do you understand?

If you transmit that tradition to your descendants, the people of your nation, and the people of the world, then, once they know this path, no one will not follow. Among a thousand, among ten thousand, among a hundred million, there is not even one, I say. Then an ideal Kingdom of Heaven beyond God's conviction unfolds.

God too meant to do that work even if He died, so He must conclude that work before dying; and if it is so arranged that Father can conclude all that work before dying, how greatly will He rejoice?

Then how greatly will the earth rejoice, too?

Anything, if it is a living being, wishes to meet a master and receive that master's protection. Even a speck of sand rolling about by the roadside says, “I have my master.” It knows fully who is the master of its village, I say.

(Father conducts Hoon Dok Hae on the Message titled “The Jesus He Was Trying to Find,” from Sun Myung Moon Seonsaengnim Malsseom Seonjip, volume 7.) “Father, with today, we have finished the Hoon Dok Hae of volume 7 of your Collected Messages.”

The World of Peaceful Reign, of Boundless Ten-Thousand Generations

Ah, it is volume 8! It matches exactly. From volume 8 to volume 21, Father has taught all that Christianity in the religious world is to keep. From then on, the content of the world is introduced. There are those orderly stages.

The person who does not know how to keep them is eliminated. Everyone passes the sixtieth birthday at age sixty. Thereafter, what are the forty years up to a hundred? Since the years beyond a hundred have been lost, Father begins after age sixty to recover them. Do you know?

Therefore, what becomes of the things that are out of step and far removed from the source of the recorded providential history that can supplement what is lacking? An island of that nation, if it is far removed, can be seized by a foreign nation. It can become the master.

So, the families being gathered are also upon this earth, but if they are far removed, the time is not far off when foreign people can drive out your families and become the masters.

With the momentum of opposing the Unification Church, just try flying anywhere. As you fly, the wing-roots fall off and the tail comes out. With the tail gone, you cannot steer. A fish too steers with its tail, does it not? A whale too steers with its tail. It is the same.

Now, because I must set out on the path I am to go, what is it? What must I go to catch?

Must I go to catch mullet, or must I go to catch sea bass?

There are many fish, are there not?

Must I catch black porgy, or what must I catch? Must I catch sea bream? There is the true sea bream, and there is the fake sea bream too. There are many fish. Looking at the eyes of those many things, you must know how to say, “You are a fake!”

Which comes first, unity or harmony? “Harmony comes first.” The harmony of mother and father, the harmony of sons and daughters with parents, the harmony of kin and family, the harmony of kin and people, the harmony of people and nation, the harmony of nation and world, the harmony of world and heaven-and-earth, the harmony of True Parents and God must all be finished.

Only when that is finished does the world of peaceful reign, of boundless ten-thousand generations, remain as my homeland, my nation, our own. Otherwise, it all disappears with a pop, empty.

Is there anything that will remain in the world of your mind?

You enter the Kingdom of Heaven, treading upon that. This is Father's secret notebook. This is the secret book of God and the nation of Heaven, I say. It is all contained in here. Simple, is it not?

You can pillow your head on it and sleep; you can hold it close and sleep; you can do anything with it. You must be able to fly off lightly and say, “Take me up and let me fly.” You must become a fellow worker. You must become a co-conspirator, I say.

When a death sentence is handed down at trial, there is the co-conspirator, the ringleader, and the follower, are there not? Will you become Father's disciples, or his sons and daughters? “We will become sons and daughters.” To become sons and daughters is the first stage.

The disciple is the second stage, and the servant is the third stage. The errand-runner is at the fourth or fifth stage, and there is up to the eighth stage. You must also know how to keep those eight stages in your household and live without strife.

God's Homeland-Nation and Hometown

It is Sun Myung Moon (文鮮明) and Moon Yong Myung (文龍明), with the character “bright” (明) of sun and moon. It becomes the authority of the air and the authority of the earth, cheonji-myeong (the brightness of heaven and earth). Cheonji-myeong is the settlement of the Abel UN. The settlement and the completion of Cheon Il Guk are in Korea.

Only Korea and the settlement are needed. With those, everything is liberated. Simple, is it not? “Yes.” Korea becomes the homeland-nation. Korea must become the hometown into which God can come and dwell.

Then where will you attend God?

The Birobong peak of Mount Geumgang! At Sokcho, we have our golf course, do we not? “Yes.” Next to it, there is a fish farm. No fish is there. Mullet and whatever is needed—now we intend to expand the fish farm. There is a saltwater fish farm and a freshwater fish farm.

Among the lakes of the world, in the Pantanal, a large lake is more than twice the size of the nation of Japan. We draw from that lake and use it to make our fish farm.

We intend to make a fish farm that can raise fish from the East Sea and the West Sea. With both the saltwater fish and the freshwater fish, boiling Cain and Abel and offering it to the parents—since the mothers and fathers are too many—you take up the spoon and say, “Hey, you take up the spoon too!”

The three stages of food must all be prepared. There is the food of the infant age, of the middle age, and of the old age. Subsequently, even the food of the spirit world is prepared. All of you, do not die but live, and follow behind Father.

At each of the eight stages, a position waits where you can find the master's passage and enter. The resolve that you cannot let it slip, even if you die, must be vividly alive. I am telling you to become satellites.

Seeing a satellite or a shooting star newly come into being, the people of old thought that some grave new event would unfold on the earth. Beyond those people of old who sought it, in today's civilized age of the twenty-first century, we can work wonders anywhere and create even a being of mystery, a strange world. If Father were to say such things, you would go mad, so I simply do not say them.

I must make the model of the supreme palace-garden that God longs for and teach it before Heaven. Why? Since I saved God, I must also furnish a garden where He can dwell. Only then does God settle completely centering on that and become liberated.

The settlement of the UN and the completion of Cheon Il Guk are in Korea. It is at once God's homeland-nation and our homeland-nation and hometown.

God's hometown exists only in Korea. Since the King of Kings, the one pair of True Parents, became Korean people, the era has come when one must not know about things outside the history of Korea. Is there such a possibility, or not?

This is President Moon's record. There is not a single thing in the world in it. Knowing it so, resolve anew and go forward with red gall (bold courage). What do you call gall? “Gall is the gallbladder.” You live even without a gallbladder, I say. You live even without a gallbladder. It is no hindrance.

Now, do not die but live, so that when Father says, “Such-and-such women, such-and-such wives, come!” you come.

Since it is autumn, go to our garden (the original estate) and cut the grass, and when spring comes, if there are wounds on the trees and in the garden, mend them too, and twice a month, add what is to be added. Thereafter, what I gather to give to our sons and daughters, you must go to the original estate and find.

What the ancestors left behind, what the ancestors began but did not finish, we must perfect. I must leave behind before Heaven, as one offering by which daily life becomes the guarantee of eternal life, and I must say I will leave an offering by which generation upon generation can eternally become God's people.

God's homeland-nation becomes God's and our homeland-nation, but the hometown is different. From Jeongju, how can the people of the world be born? The hometown is not one.

God's homeland-nation is one, but the hometown lands where the people of the earth can spread out and live are ten million in number. If the homeland-nation is the same, all gather at the grandfather's gravesite and say, “I too will learn and inherit the whole of the ancestors and bear fruit in myself of the purpose the ancestors longed for and offer it up. The master of liberation is I. Ah, this is good!”
