This is a very precious moment for you. Are all original German members here? [Yes.] I didn’t know your country had this many members. Are you doing your mission well in restoring your tribes?
You heard my speech this evening. How do you feel now? Did you understand my speech? Do you know what period we are living in now? Are you still living in the Old Testament era or the New Testament era? [No!] Then what era? [Completed Testament era.] What are you supposed to do in the Completed Testament era?
[Tribal messiah mission.] What is the purpose of tribal messiahship? [Ideal families.] Amazingly enough, the Completed Testament era means living with God.
Because of the fall, even if people longed to get closer to God, they could not do it because of the indemnity condition. God wanted to embrace all of humanity, however, He was unable to do it because of Satan.
Therefore, please take my speech home and read it over every morning and every night. Don’t just read it, but practice it every day in your daily life. The speech lasts only about one hour. Six thousand years of biblical history are concentrated in this speech. Therefore, when you study it, you can study six thousand years of biblical history and all of Father’s and Mother’s teachings up to this point. It is that valuable.
Think about the Old Testament era, how many saints and prophets fulfilled God’s will, and what kind of course they went through.
Think about how long and how hard God tried to raise the Israelite people to lay the foundation to receive Jesus Christ as the Messiah and fulfill the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. Was it fulfilled?
Think about how difficult it was for Jesus Christ to proclaim himself as the Messiah; yet even after he appeared, did the Jewish people accept him? No.
For that reason, he had to give his life on the cross. Jesus said he would come back again. How many years have passed since then? Two thousand years of Christianity.
Are you worthy?
Amazingly enough, you are living at the same time as True Parents. Christians had a strong faith and expectation to receive their Messiah. Think about the faith of the saints, sages, and prophets. Compare your life of faith to those people.
Are you worthy to live with True Parents in this period?
You must repent that your life of faith does not compare to that of the prophets, saints, and sages of the past two thousand years. They were waiting for the Messiah’s coming, yet they could not see him in their lifetime. However, you came to this family without any merit. You are living with True Parents and serving them, but you are unworthy compared to people of such deep, genuine faith.
Korean Christians in the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s were waiting for the Second Coming of the Messiah on a cloud from the sky. There were a few special Christian groups who were spiritually open and were preparing themselves to receive the Second Coming of the Messiah in the flesh. To accomplish that, they prepared every possible item, starting with socks, jackets, and pants, in all sizes from infancy through age thirty-three, when Jesus Christ was crucified.
They prepared every piece of clothing and daily necessities for the Second Coming Messiah, stacking them in room after room. Everything was prepared. Even without seeing the Messiah, they had that kind of faith.
They were waiting for the coming Messiah in the flesh, so they prepared every possible thing that the Messiah would use when he came.
In my speech today, I mentioned that right after World War II was the time for the Second Coming to appear. Therefore, while this special Christian group was preparing all the necessary things for the Second Coming Messiah, the spirit world would tell them what size garments they should make for the Messiah.
His measurements and dimensions were given from the spirit world to guide their preparations. This special group prepared everything, but at the last moment, they failed their five percent portion of responsibility and did not recognize the True Father.
What I am trying to tell you through this story is that you should compare your depth of faith to the faith that they manifested in that kind of preparation. You are not comparable to them.
You are truly indebted to True Parents
Most of you received the blessing from True Parents. However, when you look deep inside, were you prepared and worthy to receive this blessing? No. You took it for granted. True Parents just gave you the blessing.
Therefore, you are truly indebted to True Parents. You are also indebted to those who put that much effort and prayer into receiving the Second Coming Messiah. What should you do at this point?
Please remember that the place where you are standing right now is very precious, yet very dangerous because you are receiving all the blessing-not just for your generation, but for the sake of the past, present, and future. The precious place where you are standing with True Parents can be very dangerous if you don’t do your mission.
Do you understand? [Yes.] So what should you do? [Testify to True Parents.] What kind of action? [Tribal messiahship.]
You must complete your tribal messiah mission. If you had completed your tribal messiah mission before we entered this Completed Testament era, how wonderful that would have been!
Over the phone, you heard where Father was and how many hours he had spoken. True Parents were supposed to rest, based on you doing their mission. However, because you failed, True Parents are still on the front-line doing all the work they can in your place. That is the reality.
When you know that reality, can you comfortably get into bed and sleep just because it is late at night? You say you understand, but you only understand with your head and do not practice it in daily life.
You must repent that up to this point, your mind always desired to fulfill the mission given by True Parents, yet your body did not comply. As a result, there was always friction between your mind and body. Isn’t it true? Therefore, you must be different from now on.
What kind of proof will you show to True Parents that you are different from now on?
To continue your life, eating, sleeping, and clothing are all important, aren’t they?
Can you ignore those vital necessities? [No.] That is the point. You must be able to even ignore those vital necessities and go forward fulfilling your mission. I feel that your faces do not show any determination or confidence.
Strictly speaking, according to the Divine Principle explanation, Germany doesn’t deserve to be picked as the central nation to do God’s will. Of course, many nations committed many crimes, but Germany did a lot, didn’t it? [Yes.]
Who chose Germany as one of the central nations?
God did. Germany was not decided because of the quality of its people or because of its national fortune, but because God had set His mind and His blessing upon this country. Therefore, German brothers and sisters must work twice as hard as brothers and sisters from other countries. Can you do that? [Yes.]
Japan is in the same position. Think about how hard our Japanese brothers and sisters are working every day. I want you to become champions on the European continent.
Until you restore the entire European continent, you should march as soldiers in the front line and do your responsibility, just like our brothers and sisters are doing in Japan. Can you do that? [Yes!]
