Washington, want.
Are there any questions, please? (No response) Has anyone arrived from the local churches? Are there any newcomers from the local churches? Four, five, seven.
I want to speak on the topic of "Our Road to Go."
Even ordinary people in the secular world go their way according to their plans and goals. At any moment, a person is either coming forward or else they are just really stuck on the road.
Two categories of people who are going their own way are one person going forward, having a clear goal, while the other category is people who have no goal to achieve; they are stuck somewhere.
He (Master) thinks that among these three categories of people going their own way, we are one of the third ones. Thus, we know our road to go. The road we are taking forward is entirely different from other people in this world who are going forward. Also, our Heavenly Father must have been going on His road somewhere.
His purpose, or goal of going forward, is to save the whole world. Compared with 33 billion people on earth, our members who are going this special road are a minimal number. Since the world population is going forward on the left side, and our road goes forward on the right side, then where is our God going forward?
When we think of this situation, three roads, one along which the secular world is going, the other one has a certain goal, but it is not clear, and the third goal is our goal, then from God's point of view, which side is He going to help, or which side is He going to take?
Of course, on our road, which God takes, naturally we'll be different from the secular world, who go in their direction. We'll have our position, naturally. But when God wants to go on this predestined course, He cannot go forward with a few of these third category of people.
We have to think from the position of God, which way He shall take. God must think of this category of people. Some want to go for their selfish reasons, having a clear goal and purpose of their own. God cannot go forward having just a few members of the Unification Church family. God's position is to go with one of the three groups on their roadâthere is no other choice, even for Him.
We know God has been working with the group up to now, the group with the goal that God wanted to achieve. The future fate of the course is clear. He will go with the group; the religious group wants to go with this concept all the way. They must have a clear goal and purpose, and then naturally they will take the side of this group.
The religious people in this world don't know that God wants to be in our group. Also, they don't know we are going with God, the Father. The question arises here: can we go? God cannot take this group (the world's religious people) if this group is going to run away.
If this group is going to escape, God cannot take them along with Him. There is the question of what kind of method Hee will take this group along with Him.
The problem is how we take them with us, take that group with us.
What kind of method will we use to take these people with us?
We cannot use the compulsory method. One way we can use this is to find out if they will accept our role. Persuade them that there is no other way for them to follow except to go along this road with us.
How are we going to persuade them that we are on their side? In other words, we have to let them recognize that we are on their side, their friends, when they are in sorrow, pain, turmoil, and so forth.
The person will move and come to us when we persuade them that we will share their sorrows, pains, tortures, and problems.
There is no other way to let them move toward our side than to persuade them that we are suffering for them, we have sorrow on their part, and we are sharing their problems and tears, and sorrows.
Have you ever thought about what other road, what other method we can use to bring the people to our side than the one method he is suggesting right now?
This is the same position God, our Father, must take to involve mankind, taking this road, taking us along this road with Him. God has to show the beneficial condition or position to mankind. This is the connecting element of this method by God from the individual level to the family, tribe, nation, and worldwide levels.
Even if he reaches the final destination of the road, God cannot let him stand there, cannot accept him as he is, because he is on the individual level of accomplishment.
Even if the individual is acceptable, God will take him back to the original place from which he started and let him bring other persons along with him, to let him come back with others.
Even if this person comes back with a different mission and comes back to persuade other people, the people will not easily accept this endeavor to try to persuade them in this situation, because to go upon this road is to go upon the road of a great goal and purpose. They will not take it easily. He must use the method, the approach through which he serves these people, and sacrifice himself to help them in the only way left.
Even if, for himself, he has reached a certain stage of growth, it is not enough.
There is no other way for him. He has to look for the person who wants to go on this heavenly road, and he has to find out, he has to persuade him, following this special rule that the Master must explain, to come along with him.
This is the heart of God, also the heart of leading religious persons, to lead the people from the individual level to the family, to the tribe, and so forth. This is the real position of the Heart of God.
Ordinarily, the religious person tends to develop himself individually, making a direct connection between God and himself. He wants to stay over there.
Sun Myung Moon
With that kind of connection, directly on the individual level to God, world salvation is not possible. If a religious person maintains this direct connection on the individual level with God, then what shall God do with this person, this kind of religious person, who on the individual level wants to be directly connected to Him?
God cannot be in the position the individual religious person wants. He cannot take that position. God, ignoring this person who is contacting Him, will come down looking for another category of people he (Master) was talking about. Let's look at the Unification Church Family according to this statement.
We must not think, as individuals of the Unification Church Family, that God must come down only with us, with me as an individual; that's not right. This is also true on the church family level.
As individuals and as the Unification Church, we each would like to have God only within us and within our group. That's not right. Even if God wants this kind of relationship with our Unification Church family, our position cannot stay at this level; we have to go forward. His desire, His hope, and His heart are to have you go out into the world.
When you are with Him, He will let you come down and come back. Instead of staying with God, go back to this world and bring home more members. Then he wants you to come back again and multiply these members. In the dispensational course, He cannot use the compulsory method.
He or she has to come along this road with a willingness to bring success. As I have mentioned, we have to serve; we have to serve the person more than anything. We have to sacrifice, and we have to share their tears and their burdens.
There is no other way, even if you study hard and do research. We cannot use the exploitation method, taking advantage of this person. It would be wonderful if it worked, but it won't work. Let us imagine you are the teacher of an elementary school.
It is not easy to educate those youngsters who want their way all the time. We cannot train or educate a little youngster who is willing only to go his own way. As a teacher, you have to move him, tolerate him, endure him, observe him, and try to help this young child. It's not easy.
The teacher should establish the concept with even one child, who will think, "I am not losing anything from this teaching; I am gaining something, because the teacher is serving me, not exploiting me, not taking advantage of me."
If the child feels he loves the teacher more than his brother, sister, parents, and so forth, the teacher is qualified, an excellent individual. From this illustration of elementary school children, the same thing applies to the work we are going to do to educate souls about the eternal, immortal essence of the educational training we are doing.
How much more do we have to equip ourselves to bring souls to be trained and to educate them?
Without our service, sacrifice, and devotion to the souls, we cannot accomplish this historical task. There is no other way. Prominent religious leaders have no other way to lead the world, or souls, except this method of service and sacrifice, which he (Master) is talking about.
This is the position of our Unification Church family. We have to clearly understand our position about God. We sometimes want to go this way, but God wants us to go back and take a different road than the road we wanted. We have to clearly understand this position.
We are the loneliest group in the world because God wants to be with us, but He can't; He cannot be with us all the time.
That's why we will be the ones who are the loneliest group in the world. Why is this?
Because we find some of the secular people have somebody for them, but we don't have somebody to take our side. We are in a position of solitude and loneliness. Then don't we have any way to bring ourselves comfort? Is there any way to comfort us? This will be the question. That is the only way: marching forward.
Only from this position will we have somebody to take along with us. That's the only way we have the position of comfort. If you take one person along with you, that is one person on your side; you have him. By the time you have brought one person, God takes your side. If you bring two people, he will take your side, and so forth. This is our genuine position.
Suppose we not only bring individuals to our road to go, but if we take over and bring the whole established church members, how much the pleasure or joy of heaven will be multiplied.
If you try to utilize or exploit all the members of one established church who came to you, then they will go back; they will not go along with you on that road. They will go back and escape from you if you are going to use or take advantage of them and try to exploit them.
So we have to establish the circumstances, the environment where, even if those people, the entire population of one established church, come, let them settle down where the environment is suitable for them, comfortable, and enjoyable.
That environment should be created by us. Otherwise, they will go back. Then, making better environmental circumstances, we have to take them along our road to go together.
Sun Myung Moon
They don't like the less precious thing that you have; now, you have to give the more precious, more valuable thing. You have to give them more than you take.
And this means that to go along our road with them, we have to sacrifice ourselves more by doing so. By developing this from the individual, family, and tribe, the development of our foundation will be larger and more expanded.
There is no other road, no other method except this, in bringing people to become one with us; there is no other way. This is our road to go.
Also, God the Father wants us to go this road. What will happen when we reach the destination of this road, the end of the road?
Then all things God has created, all people, will be coming to us. Even God will come to us at the end of this glorious road we will pass along. When we reach the destination, we will receive all the things that He created for us.
To receive this total creation, we have to go in reverse, giving up all things, following this rule, up to the end of this road. That's the law of restoring the world.
If we are taking the opposite road and expect people to come along with us, it won't work. But instead, we give everything to them and serve them with everything, and so forth. That's why we will reach the end of that glorious destination that God wants us to have. This is the road we have to go along. When we reach over there, Satan will retreat as soon as we reach that point.
Any question, please?
Do you have the confidence to do this kind of mission?
(YES) Sometimes it is effortless to speak, but very difficult to put into practice. When you take this kind of road, you will feel the deep closeness of our God beside you.
How precious and noble if you live along this road to explain this morning. That road, destination, will explain those famous words: "He who loses his life for my sake will have eternal life."
Jesus Christ walked this road. After the crucifixion, that wasn't enough. He had to come back and take the people to go along with him. That's why he had to come back and set up this religion, Christianity. He had to come back and take the people along with him. That's why he has to come back again, because this kind of law is involved.
Many people have been following this road: "If I believe in Jesus, I will go to paradise,"âbut "that doesn't work. Every day of your life of faith, you have to follow this spiritual formula, which he explained.
When you do this, practice this formula; at that time, only happiness, joy, and the closeness of God come. No other methods will bring this result. This is the daily life of faith, repeating the same formula daily until you die. With this, you will have multiplication of family members, but in no other way. It shall work.
The problem is the old-timers of our church. That will be the problem because they don't follow this formula. Is this clear?
Now, the leader's position, the responsible leaders' positions in our movementâif they don't do this practice while other individuals are doing it this way, gradually individuals who are practicing this formula will overtake the person who is not doing this formula, even though he is in a position of responsibility. The same spiritual formula applies to our True Parents, too. There are no exceptions. His formula applies on a larger scale than yours, but it is the same spiritual law.
Crystal has many comers, doesn't she? It is the same as that. When you remember this formula, you will not get tired of a life of faith. When you came to the Unification Church, you got excited.
It felt wonderful. Eventually, though, everybody got depressed and felt there was no way to go forward and no advancement. Such a person becomes stuck somewhere. Why? Because you suddenly become the individual, you become a Unification Church member centered on yourself. You have to think of God and all people outside you, the population, the many people of the world who are lost.
Our hope and happiness are to bring these people along with us on our road. If you are interested in this kind of business, you will rapidly progress, and you will be the luckiest person in the world.
You will not perish. Rather, you will flourish in spirit. All the blessed couples, the old-timers. Will be in trouble on this road, on this course. Blessed couples think, or think, that after the blessing, everything is completed, and everything is over. That is not so. Around that point, you have to achieve the practical culmination of this life of faith. This life of faith will begin from that point, instead of ending.
The blessed couples should know that the important thing is not the problem of how we love one another, how much, or how deep that is; it is not the main problem, but rather how we are to work together, work for God. That should be the point to be concerned with. That is the ideal pattern of the family. If some blessed couples do not work this way, they must be strained out.
Throughout the world, establishing this kind of goal, not only for the individual nation, but we have to work worldwide, as a big program, one big program. We must not stop at the individual country. This is a great enterprise, a great adventure, you being here. Not an adventure for me (the individual), but for the whole world.
Your concept, your scale of value, must be different from that of a genuine Unification Church member. Our heavenly job is all the time bringing over more people, and we take them this route; we have to take them forward. This is the life cycle we are repeating. We have to repeat it.
And people on this road, you cannot take all the people at once. So you have to take care of some of them here, some of them far ahead, and some of them far away. You have to supervise all of this course whenever you bring people to locate the proper place for them.
It looks like a pyramid from the individual levelâthe individual, family, tribe, and so forth. It is this way in the Korean Church, too. Then, from the individual, we are embracing the established church right now.
This is just in the planning. When we complete this kind of embracing, covering the entire established church, it will come under our planning. Then we can cover it all, or cover the people of the world who are almost ready to perish, or else have no way to go and are stuck somewhere. We can bring them over to this road. Just as the three stages of orderly development, this kind of big scale will be classified.
This is the world that will be under God, which will be in the rest of the dispensational circle. And all the time, on top of it, one individual is alone there.
Master is looking ahead, maybe looking for somebody who he wants to put in the corner, the first starting point on the individual level in America. Whenever this high peak is approaching, the more people who come under this track, the more people will join this road. Following this pattern with the American family, the same pattern shall follow to expand this kind of territory.
That's why he blessed couples; that's why he performed the sacred marriage for the eternal couples. This is from the individual position, Noah's family, 36 families, 430, and so forth, and the last one is 777.
This is the way the foundation is expanded, starting with him and his family. There is no time to rest. Can you understand how, centering on this individual and his family, this structure of restoration can expand?
Following this pattern of individual restoration, family restoration, tribe, and so forth, when we reach the world level of restoration, then all nations, all the world, will be embraced and covered under that consummation of restoration.
So you have to follow this pattern. Then, in that sense, you are representing the True Parents, you are representing Master, and you are representing God when you do this kind of thing, perform this way along this system. Then not only are you the representative of Master and the True Parents and of God, but also you are the representation of the ideal couple, the ideal world.
In the past, many saints and religious founders had a road to follow similar to the one he set up. Without that accomplishment, they could not become saints, saviors, or founders of good faith.
This is the road we have to go by as our formula. Are there any questions so far about this? Does anybody have a different opinion that it cannot be that way? You seem to know everything he said. You will be liberated; the Bible says the truth will liberate you.
The position of our Unification Church is front and rear, and also right and left, the four corners, and the center. Up and down, front and rear, right and leftâif we emphasize too much, clinging to the upper only, that's not right.
We have to hold down, too, up and down. It is not enough to cling only to the left side. You have to have a right side, too; you have to cling together and have give-and-take. Then it makes a circulation. The same with up and down. You have to form a circulation and have give and take. The same goes for the front and rear, one corner, one part.
Then this circulation will be moving forward towards the goal for that purpose. Please keep in mind that this is a spiritual principle, formula, and goal. This is for trying to set up the center. Why do we do this? To try to set up the location of the center, the center is for both sides, not only one side. It exists for both sides. The person at the center already had to pay the sacrifice. It looks strange, but that is the theory or law.
Sun Myung Moon
Will the revival meetings be presented in the context of serving the churches?
Yes, this is solely for the established churches and will greatly serve them. It's not for us. That's why you have to bring people. You cannot go to a hundred or a thousand people at one time unless we are entering the media. Yes, we are greatly serving the established church members. The meetings will be for them, not for us. Does that answer your question?
Translator's question: Is he from this local church, or what? Is he a member of this church?
The established churches are looking for something, aren't they? Currently, their members are looking for something. Who do you think is more miserable, and who is happier? They are the ones who are unhappy. The happy ones should serve the miserable modern Christian people. They don't know where to go. Isn't that simple?
You can help, some of you old-timers.
Many people in America might be called "left wing," or liberal, and would look down upon revivalism as being of the right-wing spirit.
So, how could we serve them and bring them to our side?
We cannot convert everybody at one time, continually. The defeat or victory will be decided by how much activity you are involved in to save them. The degree of our involvement and the gradual plan will eventually bring them over, but not all at one time.
If we show our constant sacrifice to the laborers, or the labor classes, with whom the Communists are workingâif we show more love, more concern than the Communists do, we will win them. This is just a start, just a beginning. This is a campaign or battle of who loves America more: Communists or the Unification Church members. Through this test, the decision for either one of them will be made. This is just the beginning.
If we do more than the Communists do and show more love and more sacrifice than the Communists do for your country, then we shall win the battle. He figures out and estimates that we will have to expect some kind of sacrifice. Somebody will be sacrificed in an actual, physical way. We must make up our minds that somebody will be the victim. That is why the Master is standing on the front line right now. And if you follow the instructions he gives you, you shall have no problems; you just do that, follow his instructions.
Are there any more questions?
This is the second week of the New Year, the second week of January, isn't that right? This is a critical message for you to keep in mind on this second Sunday of January in the year 1972. This has been his secret during his entire life.
He has revealed it to you. We shall never perish by following this formula. If you think that you will perish by doing so, you had better not do it. We cannot perish. Always think of this all the way, all the time. Always, whenever you go out or come in, think of it, live, and stay living within this concept, within this formula, always.
Carry this concept, this idea of how to serve the people, following this formula. If you have listened today and don't practice this, if you know the theory, the spiritual law, and if you don't practice it, your conscience and your spirit will be barred. You have to shoulder your burdens, following this formula. Even if you get tired physically, whenever you have to go out, you will be forced to go out.
Special responsibility or position holders in this work will also come up to the key leader's role in this organization. Always, those in the leader's position should think in terms of 24 hours: in what way am I spending them? In what way have I spent them for others or myself, for this work or other reasons?
It is entirely wrong if the leader's position holders think that "I will get the benefit or blessing at present in my position." Instead of trying to get the blessing, you work on it and bring the people, work for others, and then the people who are in the leader's position will help you. Naturally, they must help you.
The leader's position holder should direct the existing established members forward to higher levels of advancement, trying, instead of clinging to that same position, to let them move forward, to elevate them to a higher level. Then they will be glad.
Then you will receive the appreciation of those people who are elevated by you. You accept their appreciation. If you look at it this way, there will be no criticism of leaders. Do you understand? If you do things this way, there will be no criticism of the leaders.
You have to feel like a husband and wife as a leader. You must feel this with everyone. You must feel that you are indebted; you have a debt to God. That kind of feeling.
You have to feel that you owe your members, that you owe something to the regular members. Also, at the same time, you owe something to the people of the world, who have not come to this yet. How will you repay this debt? Should that be the rule of your reasoning and thinking every day?
The same thing the leader is doing whenever he goes to the mountain, he feels the same feeling the Heavenly Father has. As a leader, he thinks about how he is going to save these people and how we are going to aid disadvantaged peopleâthe same situation applies to you. If somebody opposes such a leader, who is doing this practice, and if they criticize him, the critic shall be in trouble and perish because innocent leaders are being criticized.
Leaders should have this status or condition of the mind more than anything else. If you and the rest of the family have such leaders in your church, do you think it is bad or good? [Good] Excellent! Then with this formula, the church will develop, and it will flourish with this give and take; there is no other way but advancement and expansion, and flourishing.
If newcomers come to this place, you have to have the state of mind that you would like to cling to them, even if they go out the door, sharing everything; you want to keep them. You have to show that kind of feeling.
If newcomers are coming to the leader's place, if somebody from a local church comes to the headquarters all the time, you should have the state of mind that you are so happy to have them come, you hug one another, really even sharing their tears of joyâthat kind of spirit you must have.
There must not be criticism in the national headquarters. Instead of criticizing, we have to encourage. Only positive reinforcement must exist. If somebody drops in at headquarters, expressing, "Oh, I shall never come back to that messy place," then we are in trouble.
If he or she says, "Because of the leader, I do not like him; I will not come back to headquarters," then we will be in more trouble. You, regular members, before you initiate criticism, as a critic, you have to pray for your leaders first.
For the leaders or directors, before you transfer such a person to other places, you have to seriously pray with a sincere desire. You have to pray. There are many categories of people in our group.
Somebody is doing all right, somebody is doing wrong, some will not be acceptable, and some will be acceptable. Various personalities must exist in our movement. When you deal with such a decision for the matter or cause of the transference, you have to seriously consider the matter with prayer so as not to have any unexpected errors or mistakes.
If, from the remote states of the West Coast, the person wants to come here to headquarters, and they desire and long to come to this place, then our church will be advancing, and our movement will flourish.
Also, a Principal member who is wavering and is hesitant before making the final decision might plan to come over to our national headquarters. Before trying to make a final decision, they may want to first come to the national headquarters.
Then they might think that later they will decide whether he or she will quit the principle or not. If these spiritual circumstances (of prayer and vitality at headquarters) are set up, even in the neighborhood, people can sense whether a certain house is flourishing, giving trouble, or doing fine, etc.
So this applies to the same thing; some individuals are anxious to come to certain houses. If that kind of individual house is established, peaceful, joyful, and radiating positivity, then even dogs will want to have a bowel movement in that house because of this kind of good house in the neighborhood.
Not only will dogs come to that house, gathering over there for their excrement, but even birds will come to the garden of that house if that house is a good house with good spiritual reinforcement.
Further comments upon the analogies given above were made by the translator:
In other words, that kind of house in the neighborhood attracts people and even attracts dogs. Why do dogs come all the time to that house?
You see, that's why I am explaining it to you. Even dogs are coming. Even at headquarters, many people, unexpected people, and always birds, not dogs, are coming around the headquarters. As he was trying to explain that it was spiritual, attracting something, "Where the body is, there the eagles will be joined." Why do dogs come to that neighborhood? There is a good, lively something there that even dogs come to have their bowel movement there. I don't mean to imply that this headquarters will have many dogs.
But many things will be happening in the headquarters. Another thing I will tell you: if any beggars or anybody comes to the headquarters, they should be given food. If anybody comes to headquarters, they should have a treat, even beggars. In Korea, there are many beggars, but even if the same person comes, we provide for them. Until 1970, we were wide open for any beggars to come to the headquarters.
They would have a feast. I am not saying a big feast, but heavenly, spiritual food means a feast, doesn't it?
After 1970, we changed the serving policy from giving everything to every comer, including beggars. We changed the policy after 1970. U970, from 1954, the headquarters began to practice this. Not only beggars, but all the regular members are fed, too. At that time, they didn't realize how lucky they were, or they didn't show any appreciation for the free meals from headquarters. And not only beggars, but we fed any person who would come around headquarters.
At that time, they never realized, they never even felt their appreciation for that. Very soon, he will enforce the same thing, keeping headquarters wide open for every comer to be treated in that way.
We have an excellent custom and tradition in Korea. Whenever we build a new house, we invite all the neighbors to come and.
Translator: I'm sorry, I misunderstood.
We have a "saram bang," which means a guest room that we prepared. I don't say the living room; this is a different concept. We put aside one room, remote from the main center of the living room. We set aside one other room for the guest room so that we can entertain them. This kind of custom we have.
Then whenever the visitors or unexpected guests come, even if the master or owner of the house has no food, we have a custom of having to feed them well. That's the obligation; that's the custom. This is an excellent custom we have. And how wonderful it would be if all our restored kingdom villages were ready to serve all the peasants.
All the travelers, all the visitors, give them a free meal, entertain them, feed them.
And all the different neighbors will compete along this line. How wonderful it will be. This is the ideal, the very place where we are going to build the ideal world.
Then followed an introduction of the members of the Kansas City (State of Missouri) center.
The Master will learn from the responsible directors and leaders, not directly from the grassroots members. That is a clear word for your country. Is that clear now?
He is giving you the system and how it works. He will listen to the responsible leaders and directors of local or national centers. He has to listen to them, and not directly to the grassroots regular members.
Even in case the director or local leader makes a mistake, since the responsible person is set up, the headquarters of the Master has to listen to what the persons have to say on specific issues. This is the system and order.
For anybody who criticizes their bosses, their supervisors, or their directors, it's very hard for them to distinguish themselves later as long as they follow this practice. Rather, before making a criticism, just like he said, pray and try to accomplish more. That's the way you should do things.
If, however, someone follows this kind of pattern of criticism of leaders, then he or she will become lonely and will become a person of solitudeâthe living isolation. Since you came to the Kansas City center, do not cause any trouble or conflict with the Kansas City director. That's what he emphasizes. Do you follow me? Don't feel bad when Master says these thingsâit is for your benefit, for your advancement. The last time he visited, he heard about you and your very, very genuine quality. That's why he said these things to you.
Is this the first time you have seen our Master and True Parents?
He is very sorry he was unable to make a trip to Kansas City (State of Missouri). There are certain pressure programs he has to face. He remembers Kansas City (State of Missouri) in his heart. The time shall come when, if each center and each church has a certain number of people, then he will visit them throughout the 50 states.
But remember that if he once visits each of the 50 states, staying seven days in each, that's 350 days to visit each local church only once, staying for seven days. It will take approximately one year for him to visit.
Then you have to do something about it. If there are 10 local churches in the state, he has no time to visit all of them. Then he would have to stay here for 10 years. From now on, you will have a hard time even looking at him, meeting him, or seeing him. Now we have 120 mission fields in foreign countries; then it would take him 17 years to make even one visit to each country.
Even if he is visiting for three months, it will take that long. If he does, by that time, he will be getting old, using his cane. Because he put so much energy and priority into you people, later he may not use his energy as much visiting and spending time with you people, because he poured so much into you. In that case, he will not be able to see you personally because he will be keeping very busy with the nation and church restoration.
In later years, when his children, princes and princesses, are growing up, then all representative nations, all the cities, will try to get their princes and princesses to study in their country because they cannot see our Master. Then, if they cannot get their immediate children, prince or princess, they will look for even blessed couples to come to their country to visit.
Can you imagine, have you ever thought that the Master will have a long life on earth?
At that time, some of the blessed couples will exist. Don't you think so? Then, after he has passed away from this earth to go to the Heavenly Kingdom, how precious the blessed couples will be!
Then the whole world will look at those couples remaining, representative of the last couple remaining while he was on earth. It doesn't matter even if they have a deformed personality, physical defects, or whatever. It doesn't matter. It will be so precious for a couple remaining on earth after the Master goes to Heaven.
Thinking along this line, you blessed couples have to reevaluate or reconsider your value and appreciate your position as blessed couples. Now, currently, you don't realize this. Later in the future, you will come to.
Suppose he passed away right now; then the American-blessed couples remaining in the United States would be more valuable ancestors. Wherever you stay, the monuments of your blessed couple in America will be remembered. Don't you think this will happen? The founder of this nation will be far less respected than you blessed couples remaining if he passes away right now.
Mrs. Choi: It makes us sad to hear him say, "When I pass away."
If he is not here on earth, "if," right? Always, blessed couples should remember this. In other words, he is emphasizing the blessing of the blessed couples, the extraordinary universal value that is so much higher than ordinary secular world value. Your couple has to make some family history.
Then you have to turn over the history to your descendants. When you have arguments between you, and when you have a nice time, and so on, you should record them in this diary and transfer this to your descendants.
