Forty-seven years of speech
Each bar is one year. Bar height shows how many excerpts in this scripture were spoken in that year. Bar colour groups by decade — visual shorthand for the era of True Father's life and ministry that produced that material.
What surprises first-time readers
The numbers don't always match expectations. A few that flip them.
Adam is mentioned 2,443 times. Jesus, 971. The center of gravity is the original family in Eden, not the cross.
Korea/Korean appears 1,386 times across 16 Books. Israel, 184. Cheon Seong Gyeong is geographically and historically rooted in the Korean peninsula.
Book 12 is dominated by tuna, ocean, ships, and Pacific Rim. Whole chapters are about boats. This is not a metaphor.
The official VIP edition specifically suggests typing "toothpaste" in search to find Father's pragmatic everyday side. Daily life isn't off-topic for this scripture — it's part of the design.
