New Year's Message
At the beginning of the New Year, I sincerely hope and advise you to do your best in following the way to loyalty and filial piety to God. May God be with you.
The motto for the year conclude1971 is "Let's Establish the Foundation for Unification".
During the 1960s we have been laying the base for the Foundation for the Providence, chiefly by means of "All Out March" or "Victorious Front Line for Unification" aimed at the external world. During the period much has been said to blame the Unification Church from the social, racial, and religious world which has necessarily forced us to make sacrifices for individuals and families belonging to the church. I know well that the Holy Spirit Association has given rise to hot criticism in Korea.
But it has been inevitable to break down the fence which has prevented us from restoring this degenerated creation. Now is the time for the individual, family, and church to raise a stable foundation, namely to make sure of being beings who serve God faithfully.
That is to say, we must make the root of unification of the universe.
Then what should be its standard and basis?
First of all, insurance of the basis among the race or nation should be preceded by that base among the families. Then is it possible for us to expect the family basis without that based on the individuals of each family? What's the starting point of individual basis for unification, then? Needless to say, it should be traced back to the Garden of Eden before the Degeneration of the Fall.
In the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve, the first parents of mankind should have been united with God. The Archangel should have been united with the human beings. Had this been fulfilled, then the Archangel could have been united with God. So every individual can and should restore what Adam and Eve lost.
What has God been wishing for each individual?
It's God's desire for His children and Archangel to unite through the connection of life through His love. As you know, Degeneration could be no other than tying the blood relationship with the Archangel, Lucifer instead of with God Himself. Of course, it was the life that neither God nor Adam nor Eve nor the Archangel had wished for. There is no doubt that it has originated resentments between God and His children to say nothing of Lucifer.
Then who should be restored first in the historical course for restoration?
It goes without saying that the restoration of Adam should be made first. As you already know through the Principle there is no restoring Adam without the cooperation of Lucifer because Degeneration was made by their collaboration.

Accordingly, the person in Adam's position should return to God by collaborating with the Archangel, that is to say, restoration of Cain and Abel. Consequently, we can easily conclude that for the emancipation of mankind, individual perfection and the liberation of the angelic world cannot happen without the unification of Cain and Abel.
Then how can it be possible for the satanic connection of life to be cut off?
The person in Cain's position should be united with Abel in Adam's position as a restored Archangel, which is the basis for unification centering on God's love. Therefore it is urgently required for each member of the Unification Church to move themselves to the position of the restored Jesus Christ, God's begotten son; namely, every member should fulfill what was left undone by Jesus by going the course of indemnity.
So let us make everyone the faithful successor of Jesus Christ, every individual should restore the resentment of Jesus, and the delayed dispensation of the Israelites due to the nullified mission of Jesus. The failure of Jesus' mission has forced all the Christians to follow the path of martyrdom. The Holy Spirit Association has struggled against the external world – individuals, families, tribes, and races to have external Cain submit to Abel during the 1960s.
But in and after 1971, we can make the restoration of both the internal and external mission given to Adam successful, for the victorious foundations of individual, family, tribe, race, and nation. Our external struggle during the 1960s has been a war of attrition, calling the external world of Cain together, because Cain's submission was impossible. So during this period heavenly love and life have been forced to overcome those in the satanic world. The foundation for unification to be made in the 1970's means the victorious one-centering Adam.
Then we can say that the base set up during the past ten years is enough to conquer the external world. Even though there are individual Cains and Abels, they are far from being united, and generally speaking, we can see that though individual, family, and tribal Cains are inclined to give in to individual, family, or tribal Abels, there is still some distance between Our Holy Spirit Association and the race and nation.
Speaking of the religious world, if the relation between HSA and the established churches is Abel and Cain, then Cain's unification with us is not yet guaranteed. Come what may, we have had success in forming the individual, family, and tribal foundation of Abel to conquer the world of Cain. This means the restoration of the foundation of Jesus' family, without which he was compelled to bear the burden of the cross.
Had such a base of family been formed right after the liberation of the Korean people in 1945, there would have been the instant restoration of the Korean people and established churches. But as ill luck would have it, the Unification Church has been obliged to follow the way to indemnity for individuals, families, tribes, races, and nations amidst persecution and misunderstanding from the established churches and individual families so tribes trace,urse nations' unity for the established church, race, and nation. Our future course with the family base will necessarily be accomplished by the process of indemnity, which will take place between the latter half of 1971 and 1972.
Now let me look back on the age of Jesus.
What was the desire of Jesus?
Of course, the Jewish religion in Israel was Jesus' final object. Since the Jewish religion was the center of the spirit of the chosen people, had there been the unification of the Jewish religion with Jesus, the natural unification of the race would have been fulfilled.
During the period from 1971 to 1972, we fought for the base of unification of Christian churches in the position of Cain and Abel worthy to represent the entire race and nation. When the unification between HSA and the established Christian churches is accompanied, we can restore by indemnity what Jesus wished to fulfill through the chosen people and the Jewish religion uniting with Jesus' family and tribe.
Now it is necessary to make the Foundation for the Third Israel in South Korea.
Then what can make it possible for us to make such a firm foundation?
Where there is no unification between my family and yours, there may be no expectation of the established churches submitting and it will make or break the prospects of the Unification Church.
Where there is no unification of the Archangel and Adam, there is no original standard. If my family is in the position of Adam's family, yours is in the position of the family of the Archangel. Therefore you should copy the way I and my family have gone.
Then where should unification be made? It should be on the front line rather than just in the church, family, or the rear area. The front line is between God and Satan.
My family centering on God is in Abel's position. Your fa,milies are in a position to subjugate Cain's family, so you are in the position of Abel too. Now can you subjugate Cain? Your course is to follow the way of the family in Abel's position.
This is the official course to be applied from individual to nation and the universe.
What's the formula?
It can be drawn from the relationship of Adam and Archangel centering on God. As you know, the Fall of Adam's family was brought about by the Archangel Lucifer's initiative. So we should reverse the process; the Archangel should submit and return dominion without force.
As in Adam's family, your family has such a mission, investing your love and life.
For such a mission, I dispatched all of your blessed families to the front. In sending the families to the front, I choose wives instead of husbands because women represent Eve, the ringleader of Degeneration; who blocked the way to the unity of Adam and God; lost the way of eternal ideal marriage, and broke down the theocratic world. So their husbands and children should support them in doing their best, to make them capable of distributing God's love to the world of Cain in the Archangel's position, which will enable them to restore the position of Eve before the fall.
From the family's viewpoint, the women dispatched to 120 places stand for the family position before the illicit love of Eve with the Archangel and 120 places symbolize the entire world.
Consequently, it can be understood that the blessed women play the subject part in making all hostile families into one, namely in subjugating Cain's family at the cost of their lives.
Thus dispatching 1,200 blessed women came to make an epoch capable of restoring the relationship between God, husband,d and children who had left their original position to return to their original positions; restoring their work and concentrating all the broken connections of parents, husbands and wife, children, tribe, race, nation, and the world.
Therefore this time of dispatching of the women was made for particular purposes, quite different from the conventional ones.
Since the degeneration originated from Eve's acceptance of the Archangel's love, all the women in Eve's position should hand out God's love to the world of the Archangels standing above the Archangels; which will surely form a connection of God-centered love and bring Cain families to their knees.
This is linked to Master's family centering on God's love and life; your families are families in Cain's position. This is sure to spread out as a new historical movement for the race and nation.
For this purpose, all of the women representing the Unification Church should get in touch with established Christian families rather than non-religious ones. By touching them we can bring forth the Moment to Subjugate Cain Religions Association.
If the Satanic world is in the Formation Stage and the position of the Satanic Archangel, the established Christian families are equivalent to the Growth Stage and are Archangel families entitled to restore to God's side.
After the environment for making our Unification Church and the established churches into one is formed; the established Christian families should lead the restoration of the Republic of Korea; and as the day comes when the republic is linked to the dispensation, South Korea in Abel's position can and should invest God's love and life into North Korea in Cain's position. The most precious thing is for the enemy to submit of their own free will to Able, just as directly as Jacob's bringing Esau to his knees.
From such a viewpoint, it's urgently required for the Unification Church to do its best, lest the dispatched women be isolated, until the end of 1972.
Of course, our church and all members can and should do their best and if possible witness to their relatives so that they join our activities. This is the reason why I had the dispatched women their sons and daughters with their mothers or mothers-in-law.
As you know, there have been separated parents, brothers, husbands and wives, and tribes between South and North Korea for 25 years, ever since the emancipation of Korea from the Japanese.
Then how can it be possible for us to reunite all these separated ones? South Korea is Adam's side and North Korea is the Archangel's side are hostile to each other. As long as the hostility between them lasts, there is no hope for fulfilling God's will. Hence the Third Israel has not appeared yet.
Only when the policy for unification is prepared, can there come into being the Third Israel in Korea herself.
You should bear it in mind. Then by whom is the foundation insured?
Where there is no combined performance of one's responsibilities with family members, there is no expectation of forming Abel's family. There is no other way to give proof of such a union without making a sacrifice of love and life for the Providence.
Since the dispatched women were taken away from their husbands based on obedience to God's order, their husbands are to be grateful to Heaven through their wives, and the substance of love should be offered to God so it can be given to Cain. Able families' own lives and loves should be taken over and given to Cain. Where there is love and life, given with all your heart, Cain will be restored by them. That's the Principle of Unification.
Even though there were some persons unqualified to be blessed in the International Mass Wedding of 777 Couples, I blessed them so as to make them alive and their relatives join bs of participating in the nationwide movement.
The families into which the women have married expected their daughters-in-law would serve their parents-in-law, but contrary to their expectations, their daughters-in-law left, to live far away from their families. This may give rise to a reaction, but it's an unavoidable condition for making indemnity to restore those who opposed their sons and daughters in the 1960s.
Why do we visit the established churches which have keenly opposed and persecuted us?
Comparing the established churches' attitude with that in the 1960s, they are much more interested in our movement and willing to know and hear the Principle, and 700 or more Christian pastors are to hear the Divine Principles in January, this year.
Meanwhile,e we have been concentrating our efforts on the restoration of universities. Since 1960 Kunkook University and Yonsei University have played a major part in opposing and prosecuting our movement. They are making an epoch to return to the process of providence through the study of Divine Principles by Prof. Nam Dong Suh, Dean of Theological College, Yonsei University, and the positive cooperation of Professors of Kunkook University. Given such a trend, we should make haste in establishing a standard for the union of Cain and Abel's orders, which was considered impossible. So, family should be the starting point.
