Fukuoka Pledge service, Sunday, August 17th
I’m sure that our victory will come. You must remember that Jesus and Daemo-nim and the good spirit world of the five religious realms centering on four of my children’s families are definitely with us. I hope that you are certain of the fact that the good spirit world supports the providence of True Parents and this Rally for the Realm of Life of the Unity and the Complete Settlement of the Parents of Heaven and Earth.
Before Father proclaimed the Realm of Life of the Unity and the Complete Settlement of the Parents of Heaven and Earth, he had already set the internal standard by putting all of his heart into actually practicing it himself. He is bound to be victorious because he has succeeded in making all the necessary and tough indemnity conditions.
Many leaders participated in the rallies in four major cities in Korea. Ninety percent of them were not members but guests. Spiritually, the rallies had a highly charged atmosphere; many people experienced spiritual phenomena.
As an example, I’ll tell you a testimony of the widow of Lee Gyu-dae, who was a regional leader during his life. At the Daejeon rally, she told me that she had experienced her husband’s presence many times since his passing. He is a real gentleman, though he is a bit mischievous. He comes up behind her and kisses or hugs her suddenly which is a nice surprise for her. She informed me that in some ways she feels happier living between the spirit world and the physical world.
Jesus appeared spiritually to a Buddhist nun, who was about seventy years old. He led her to well-known Korean churches. With her spiritual eyes opened, she could see Jesus telling the ministers that they were mistaken. Led by Jesus, the nun visited the biggest churches in Korea, the Full Gospel Church, Young-rak Church, and others. Then she went to Cheong Pyeong where she was able to liberate her ancestors. She built a church right next to her temple, invited Christian ministers, and held services with their followers.
She also received the revelation that religions must be united and that she should invite a Unification Church minister to her church and hold a service. So the Daejeon regional leader is leading the services. Following the will of Jesus, she also took down the cross from her church.
Having heard this testimony, one member asked Father, “Why did Jesus appear to an unknown Buddhist nun instead of a well-known Christian minister?” Father told him, “She is in the role of kindling wood.” For the spirit world to work, it needs to have the right reciprocal base.
Christian churches do not have such a reciprocal standard. Japanese people also experience plenty of spiritual phenomena, don’t you? If the kindling wood burns well, it can make a big fire. Such a time has come now.
Japan has the right environment for people to experience plenty of spiritual phenomena because Japanese society has a multi-religious cultural base. You should be spiritual kindling wood for Japan. That’s your mission. The time has ripened through the hard work of True Parents. Brothers and sisters, I know you feel overwhelmed these days, don’t you? Being at rock bottom, when you can’t go any lower, is the best opportunity to make an enormous leap in your life. Now is such a moment, you should understand.
Did you ever play with a slingshot when you were little?
The intensity of this time is like the moment a boy pulls his rubber sling back as hard as he can. As soon as he lets go of the sling, he can hit the mark; that’s the moment of his absolute victory. You must leap strong and hard as would a stone in a slingshot with the rubber stretched. You must not miss the moment, your chance to be successful. That’s how one can be completely victorious. You shouldn’t let up for one minute, not even one second.
Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon
You must learn the wisdom and adventurous nature of white-necked cranes that fly over the Himalayas. To reach the land of hope over the Himalayas, those birds have the wisdom to discern the proper air current and the courage to risk their lives. You must not leave your suffering course behind to your descendants.
It’s up to you whether you win. You should understand that the greater and longer the indemnity you pay, the more blessings you’ll receive. The question is whether you’re alive or dead. Those who are alive must not even utter words like, “It’s too difficult.” Filial children, loyal citizens, saints, and holy people do not say that anything is too difficult.
Can you be victorious? Father’s daily life has no day or night. He is always rushing. On August 5th, at 1 am, he suddenly asked core members from all over South Korea to gather and gave them the mission to bring a breakthrough in their neighborhoods and communities.
Once even those who don’t know much about the providence attend a speech of Father, they say, “He is a man who is hastening the providence of God.” You have no idea how hard it is to expedite God’s providence. To shorten the providential period from twenty years to ten years, one can’t think or live like a normal person.
One can’t eat or sleep as much as one wants. A reduction of sleeping time is necessary; one must pour out everything of oneself, tens or hundreds of times over. Based on the victorious foundation of True Parents, the realm of the fourth Adam began. We blessed you to be tribal messiahs. Behind all of that was the suffering we had to endure, about which we were unable to speak.
If you understand the suffering indemnity course we have to go through, you can’t help feeling grateful and working hard yourselves. I feel the situation is increasingly moving into our realm. Only good things will happen from now on. I hope you all will be proud true children of True Parents.
Fukuoka (Tuesday, August 19th)
Brothers and sisters, today we have just recited the Family Pledge. Have you actualized the Family Pledge in your lives? You must live to accelerate further development. You must witness. The best way to witness is to restore your tribes.
The last step for blessed families to take is to fulfill the mission and responsibility of tribal messiahs.
You pray and report in your name. Are you confident of your prayers? What can you report to God? We are living in a wonderful era. We could not imagine an era anything like this twenty or thirty years ago. Now is the time when you must share the blessings and grace you have received.
Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon
You must know how hard and tough the battles God and True Parents have to endure every day. You must reflect on and repent for how responsible you have been and how hard you have fought for blessed families.
If we go by the Bible, human history has lasted about six thousand years, but I think it is longer than that. God has been struggling to find true sons and daughters for as many years as He has led the providence of restoration.
How great must God’s sorrow have been at the loss of His children?
He must have suffered through such agony. He went through unspeakable pain when the Jews crucified and murdered Jesus 2000 years ago. You cannot make excuses.
What do you think about when you recite the Family Pledge?
You must live like a True Father, trying to save even a minute or a second of the providence through tremendous intensity and agony. You must think of all those dying around you and feel a sense of urgency. You ought to resolve to save so-and-so’s life in the morning and report to God what you have done for that person in the evening.
Are you directly experiencing that the spirit world is actively working? Four of my children including Heung-jin Nim, five leaders of the great religions including the four great saints, and seven hundred million blessed families [in the spirit world] are present with us right here. Many follow revelations from their ancestors. What you say, even one word can make the difference between heaven and hell. You must be concerned about people around you and witness to them.
Japanese brothers and sisters, you should fulfill your mission as mothers from the Eve nation. Are you working hard enough? True Father is always concerned about you. Please work hard.
Nagoya (Sunday, August 24th)
I appreciate that every one of you worked hard. Many in the audience yesterday were not just onlookers but serious searchers for solutions to the world’s problems.
Yesterday’s event was like a long-awaited rain after a drought for many of those in the audience. Those who received the timely rain are waiting to live again with your help. You must educate them to take on and fulfill the responsibility of messiahs.
Father told you in his speech that the time is ripe; God cannot wait any longer. The title of this speaking tour is the Realm of Life of the Unity and Completed Settlement of the Parents of Heaven and Earth. It is not enough that only we live with God; we must multiply the blessings.
People must inherit the will through Father’s words and restore the nation and the world. It must happen within this year. You must resolve to reduce the time limit.
As you recite the Family Pledge, I hope you truly can be filial children, loyal subjects, saints, and holy people.
You should work hard knowing that you are making the foundation of the ideal world for your ancestors as well as your descendants. One of you told me yesterday that Japan’s substantial development started in Nagoya. I hope that you will be able to take on a grand mission and responsibility for God’s providence.
Don’t you think the heavenly side should be better than the satanic side?
You should have a strong sense of calling and work hard.
As I travel around the world, I’ve met so many beautiful, pure-hearted second-generation children who are truly centering their lives on God. They are growing up so beautifully. In the U.S., blessed parents made an educational institution in the West to provide those of the second generation with God-centered education.
Those students also started a choir as a part of their culture-of-heart activities. They wanted me to name their choir, so I named it, “Sun Hak.” The choir members work as unofficial Ambassadors for Peace, and they perform around the world. I’m very proud of them.
There are many Japanese second-generation children at Sun Jung Middle and High School in Korea. I was moved by their pure heartiness. Blessed parents are truly interested in educating the next generation. In the U.S., about a hundred children from the second generation who are at the age of entering college have joined a one-year Special Task Force training course. Many of those who finish the program say that they want to do it for another year.
In the U.S.A., it is known that a good leader is not made through academic ability alone. Students need to have actual social service experience. The students who participated in the Summer of Service1 in Washington exceeded the standard of annual social service set by the federal government in just a month. They all received a certificate from the White House.
I would say that their success in society is already secured. We must fulfill our responsibility toward our descendants. We must make a foundation for the next generation. We must save the people of the second generation on the Cain side.
Think about it. Students with blond hair and blue eyes greet each other in Korean.
I am very hopeful because your hard work is bearing good fruit. You should not miss this chance and I truly hope that you will be victorious.
Sapporo (Wednesday, August 28th)
Are you joyful at hoondokhae together with God and True Parents who own true love, true life, and true lineage?
Do you feel that Heung-jin nim, Daemo nim, the four saints, and seven hundred million blessed couples in the spirit world are together with us at this hoondokhae?
If I communicate to you through an interpreter, you are bound to understand my message one step late. Wherever I go, you say that you’ve fulfilled your responsibility and become the first. You must speak the same language as True Parents if you want to be united in heart with us. It’s been many decades since Father started to tell you to learn Korean. If you were determined, you could have mastered Korean by now. Even now, you must not give up. You should keep trying.
What is the meaning of the Realm of Life of the Unity and Completed Settlement of the Parents of Heaven and Earth?
There should be owners in the realm of life.
There are so many races and nations in the world, but who are the true owners?
Have you fulfilled your responsibilities to the degree that the Parents of Heaven and Earth can completely settle in with you? Are you attending the Parents of Heaven and Earth with your clans and tribes? If you don’t fulfill your responsibility, that indemnity will be passed down to your descendants.
You may think your work is too hard, but think of how heavy the sins that your ancestors committed against God in the past are. If you complain, the indemnity cannot be paid. You have such a big responsibility until God completely settles in with you. Your positions are so important and historic. You are in both the most blessed and fearful position at the same time.
In the Bible, it says that Adam and Eve were kicked out of the Garden of Eden; the truth, though, is that after the fall, Adam and Eve kicked God out. Their minds and bodies should have united to serve God, but they fell and ended up kicking God out of their bodies.
If you do not bring the Parents of Heaven and Earth into your families, you will be repeating the same mistake. Why can’t God, who is omniscient and omnipotent and who created all things in the universe, be present in your homes? You must feel a sense of responsibility.
Father sometimes tells you that God can’t wait any longer. As all things are moving along to create Cheon Il Guk [the heavenly kingdom], if you don’t fulfill your portion of responsibility, you’ll be driven out. You must change your attitude of life 180 degrees. There are seven hundred million blessed couples in the spirit world.
You must not stop for a minute or even a second. You must open your mouths and testify to others about God and True Parents.
This morning, we read the Realm of Life Rallies speech. You can feel how much True Father loves God and loves you. As you know, the media has been the most unsupportive element toward True Parents’ work. With a forgiving heart, you must spread Father’s message to and through broadcast stations, newspapers, and magazines.
For how many years has Japan not been able to benefit from Father’s presence? You must put your environment in good order and create families, tribes, and a nation where True Parents can settle.
Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon
