The Completion of Home Church

1. Now is the time we must break down all the barriers in God's providence. What should you do from now on? I cannot bequeath to you everything I have accomplished without a condition. I cannot bequeath it to you for nothing. I tell you, you have to fulfill your five percent portion of responsibility.

I have set conditions of indemnity in more than one hundred countries, and with the standard of heart I invested there, I have restored the connection between heaven and earth, which had been obstructed by a wall.

Therefore, you also need to set indemnity conditions on a smaller scale that can represent the world. You must establish here and now a foundation that can operate on its own, without the barriers that formerly obstructed heaven and earth. That foundation is Home Church. (105-271, 1979.10.26)

2. What is it that you Unification Church members should do? Although you cannot become a world messiah, you should at least become a tribal messiah. If you cannot become tribal messiahs, you should at least become John the Baptist.

This is why I am raising the matter of Home Church. For fallen people to go to the kingdom of heaven, should they all have to suffer to the point of death, as I did, to restore the individual, family, and tribe?

Should they have to be persecuted all their lives and sacrifice themselves? Someone had to be the pioneer to pave that path, and it was I who did it. All you need to do is accomplish a course of indemnity by following the formula.
(099-253, 1978.09.25)

The foundation for the kingdom of heaven on earth

3. As God loves me, He also loves all people, seeing them as His true descendants. God loves each person and wants to save everyone from the fallen world. We are meant to love humanity as God loves us.

If we are people like that, we can receive God's greatest love. In the future, there will be no persecution. From the day Satan's persecution ceases, doing all this will be easy. How much has Satan obstructed me as an individual?

He has been persecuting me to prevent me from making progress. But although he persecuted me, I drove him away and went forward.

How much he persecuted me on the family level! He greatly opposed me on the tribal level as well, but I prevailed over him. You must have pride in inheriting all the victories I gained through these struggles.

Your responsibility is to pursue the course of uniting the world by doing what I have done. I paid substantial indemnity, but all you need to do is pay conditional indemnity. The conditional indemnity you need to pay is the Home Church activity. (161-152, 1977.01.18)

4. How much do the spirits in the spirit world look forward to descending to the earth? Conscientious spirits – the spirits of people who were good during their earthly life – are longing to come down to the earth.

To descend, they must do so through their descendants. This is how the Home Church system will develop. On the Home Church base, spirits from more than 120 nations whose background is, for instance, economics, will be freely able to work with an economist in a Home Church area, and the same will be true of spirits working in the Home Churches of scholars in other areas of expertise. That is why we abed Home Church. (162-112, 1987.03.30)

5. I pioneered the path of the Messiah on every level the individual, family, tribe, nation, world, and cosmos. I have already laid all the foundations on the levels of the individual, family, tribe, and nation.

While I was pioneering this path, Satan ruthlessly opposed my work. My life was one of facing continuous persecution, which I had to fight and prevail over. After World War II, if England, the United States, and France the Eve nation, Abel nation, and Cain nation respectively had become one and united with me, I could have begun my work on the world level at that time.

If I had gone beyond the national level and been able to focus on the world, nations would have automatically reorganized. Suppose my work had started that way after World War II and I had been welcomed without persecution on the levels of the individual, family, people, nation, and world?

Then, in the environment of a unified world, Home Church and tribal messiahship would have been established, and families would have been settled at that time revolving around God and True Parents.

Suppose at that time a family had appeared, in which Cain and Abel were united around the Mother. Then a nation would have been established that would have gathered tribes and peoples, connecting them to the world.
(244-284, 1993.03.01)

6. When we cross over into the new world, religion will disappear. Only Home Church will remain. Families will have True Parents at the center. It will be a unified world, an ideal world that arises like a single tree.

Using the bonds of love centered on the tradition of True Parents, the world is connected like one tree. The spirit world is like the invisible world of nerve impulses, and the visible world is like the world of blood vessels.

When the two worlds of nerves and blood vessels are united harmoniously into a single organism, our minds, and bodies, which were in conflict, can be united. By the same token, the earthly world and the spirit world must also be completely united. (145-151, 1986.05.01)

7. Firstly, Home Church is the way for children to inherit the world-level indemnity course of True Parents, who paid the indemnity too to resolve the failures of history.

Second, the Home Church is to indemnify the realm of the tribal messiah lost at the time of Jesus. Thereby it opens the way to the realm where we can be tribal messiahs and then go on to the national and world levels. You cannot go forward without indemnifying these two levels.

To do so, you need to do a Home Church activity. Without it, you cannot go to the kingdom of heaven. You have to shed blood and sweat for your Home Church. You have to shed tears, and you have to experience mistreatment.

Through these experiences, you must come to know about the efforts that the True Parents have made. I hope that, in the future, the persecution will cease and people will want to learn the Principles of the Unification Church. It is my desire not to leave behind a path of suffering for the children who follow me.
(142-307, 1986.03.13)

8. The tribal-level messiahship at the time of Jesus was to make the indemnity conditions and lay the foundation to establish the authority of True Parents on the national, world, and cosmic levels.

However, at this age we are attending True Parents, standing on the foundation of their indemnity conditions. The purpose of the Home Church is to indemnify the failures in Jesus' course. However, to fulfill your five-percent portion of responsibility, now it is n at116-281, 1982.01.02)

9. Even if we suffer throughout our lives, we cannot hold up our heads in front of Heaven. Rather, we Unification Church members should be ever grateful for living in the same age as the True Parents; we should shed tears of gratitude for having met them in our lifetime.

Even as you live a sanctified life to recover your original selves, and even as you maintain your loyalty in every way possible, you should not forget you are the descendants of sinners who do not deserve to lift your heads in front of their Parents. This is why you need to cooperate with the Parents on their course.

Now that the Parents have completed their work, it is your turn to fulfill your responsibility and work hard for Home Church activities. (143-118, 1986.03.16)

10. Starting from Home Church leaders, if people continue witnessing from the first generation to the second and third generations, then one thousand, two thousand, many thousands of people will get involved in Home Church activities.

As we do this we are entering the age of registration, and need to prepare a list. Yet, we cannot draw it up any way we want. Those who did not do Home Church activities cannot be entered on the list.

They cannot become part of the family tree of the heavenly kingdom. Even though they are blessed family members, they will be excluded from the list and their names will be removed from the registry. With this understanding, you must hurry to do everything Heaven mandates.

If you go to the spirit world without having done the Home Church activity, you will have to work at it in the spirit world for eternity. It will be a huge problem if you go to the spirit world without having taken care of your Home Church on earth.

Therefore, during this time, you do not have even a moment to think about what to eat, what to wear, or where to sleep. Knowing what kind of miserable indemnity course will await you and what kind of path you will have to follow, you should indemnify everything during your lifetime. (143-119, 1986.03.16)

11. Your Home Church activities will begin at Gethsemane, from whence Jesus was taken to his trial, and one step further, on the peak of Golgotha. When Jesus died in Golgotha, there was hardly anyone who had compassion for him. Yet when you die, many people will have compassion for you.

What a happy thing it will be to meet death with such a foundation and in such circumstances. You have the freedom in your current earthly circumstances to assemble a group of people who, when you face death, will not run away from you as Peter did, but who instead will say, “I will die in your place.” I think it is worth paying indemnity to establish this kind of historical tradition.
(103-216, 1979.02.25)

12. You have entered the age when, through True Parents, you can be selected and installed as tribal messiahs. You are indemnifying the condition that Jesus tried to make to connect the families of Zechariah and Joseph based on Judaism. Jesus needed to set this indemnity condition because only then could he have inaugurated the position of the Parent.

Only then could he have gone beyond the nation and proceeded to the world. Although Jesus died without establishing this foundation, we can indemnify it by way of Home Church activity.

Despite the opposition of Christianity, if you do Home Church you will make the condition to inherit its foundation right there in your tribe. Then you can connect that path to the people, the nation, and the world. (124-072, 1983.01.23)

13. You are family-level messiahs who attend the True Parents, unlike Christians who have been waiting for the individual-level Messiah. For us, Home Church is the way to prepare our foundation to go out to the world.

Through Home Church, we will create a unified world where we attend the True Parents as the national-level and world-level Messiah. In this way,y we march forward toward the ideal kingdom of heaven.

When Christians recognize their past failures on the tribal level, they can enter the kingdom of heaven through the new Unification Church and come to attend the world-level True Parents. (124-072, 1983.01.23)

14. You ought to understand what I mean when I say, “I worked to find you.” Then you need to go to the people of your Home Church and do the same for them as I did for you. Only when you do so will God endorse you as a filial child and bring you to the kingdom of heaven.

However, all of you just want to follow me. You think, “I don't like Home Church. I'll only go wherever True Father goes.” You should not do this. Even if your father is the president of a nation, you cannot inherit his position unless you do something to acquire it, To become a president of your Country, you need to lay a foundation that will enable you to become one.

Even if you were born as the nation's crown prince, to become its king you must learn all the protocols and etiquette that are required of a king. This is what you need to do. In the final course of history, if you obey these words of True Parents and make your foundation, then God will give you His seal of approval and say, “You are my filial child” and send you to the heavenly kingdom.

How amazing is the love of God! The foundation for this is Home Church. You also want to go to the heavenly kingdom as filial sons and daughters, don't you? However, there is no way to receive the seal of a filial son or daughter without going through the Home Church.

Heaven is where filial children enter. Even though you are a son, if you are a troublemaker you cannot enter. You can go to heaven only when you are recognized as a filial child, and Home Church exists for you to receive that seal. (122-125, 1982.11.01)

15. We cannot avoid the path of the Home Church if we are to restore the foundation for the tribal messiahship that was lost in Jesus' day and the national-level foundation that was lost by Christianity.

To describe it in Unification Church terms, the Unification Church is in the position of Abel and Christianity is in that of Cain. We must do Home Church on behalf of Cain's family, to connect the Cain church to the Abel church.

Home Church is where we will accomplish what Jesus was unable to fulfill and what Christianity failed to do. Through Home Church, we can accomplish it and achieve unity.

The Unification Church has to unite with the True Parents by doing Home Church. Only then can we enter the kingdom of heaven, the one unified world. (124-073, 1983.01.23)

16. Considering all my agonizing history, I have set up the greatest single condition that people can fulfill before God and Satan. It is Home Church. Home Church is the place that can help you recover when you collapse, comfort you when you have difficulties, and provide you with the natural environment to help you accomplish the course of your portion of responsibility.

You may be persecuted occasionally, but overall, we have passed beyond the age of persecution. We began this work at the transition to the age when we can be welcomed. Thus, if you are victorious, you can establish a foundation for all the ideals I want to realize and that God has desired to realize over the past six thousand years.

You are now being engrafted onto me. Once you are engrafted, you should grow automatically. But where will you get the fertilizer you need to grow? You'll get it from all the places in your Home Church that oppose you.

That fertilizer will help you grow into a big tree. You need fertilizer, but where can you get it? It comes from persecution. The persecution you receive decomposes and becomes fertilizer. (124-335, 1983.03.01)

17. We have to do the Home Church activity. Yet, it will be a problem if you do not clearly understand its purpose. It is needed because a course of restoration through indemnity remains.

The people of Israel had to follow Jacob's course, the nation of Israel had to follow Moses' course and Christians had to follow Jesus' course. In the same way, since I am the Unification Church leader, the members of the Unification Church need to take my courses. However, following it is not easy because we have been walking a forty-year course of re-indemnification.

If Christianity and the United States had accepted the Unification Church at the time of Korea's independence, we would not now need to do Home Church activity. A world-level nation would have been immediately organized at that time. However, because things did not go that way, we had to walk a forty-year course of re-indemnification.

Since this is the path True Parents followed, the children had to go this way as well. Therefore, for the past forty years we have walked a course of restoration through indemnity for the individual level, a course of restoration through indemnity for the family level, and courses of restoration through indemnity for the tribe, the people, and the nation.

To restore through indemnity at the individual level and each subsequent level, it was necessary to fight Satan and be victorious. (142-299, 1986.03.13)

18. It is no good if white people say, “I will visit only the white families, not the black families.” You have to do the opposite. You have to do that for America to live and for the world to live.

When Jesus was on earth, he died unable to inherit the kingship right of the first son. Therefore, God has desired to bring that to the world level and recover it in the Last Days. Now this foundation will be laid based on Home Church. Then even if I am not here, this right will be automatically established. (102-193, 1978.12.24)

19. What is a Home Church? Due to the history of persecution of the Unification Church, I acquired the right of inheritance as the champion in walking the course of indemnity.

Once I prevailed on every level of indemnity in history, setting the world record of indemnity as an individual, the world record of indemnity on the level of family and people, the world record of indemnity on the national level, and the world record of indemnity on the cosmic level, thereupon I was given the signature of approval that I had brought total victory, and I was authorized to establish Home Church. Only in Home Church can we finally be free of all levels of indemnity conditions and settle down. (123-170, 1983.01.01)

20. In the Unification Church, the Home Church is the means to pay world-level indemnity on a smaller, more condensed scale. You should develop your Home Church into a tribal church. In Korea, there are many family names. If in your Home Church activity, you connect people with the various family names, you can create your tribe, your people,e and even your nation.

Because the Home Church began with the Unification Church, this will lead to the appearance of the tribal-level church, the people-level church, and the national-level church.

Why should we do this Home Church activity? It is because we need to liberate Jesus from his bitter sorrow.

Without liberating Jesus, Icannott brings you to the position of being married. To achieve Jesus' liberation, given the choice between the Cain families and your Abel family, we must first save the Cain families, and given the choice between the Cain tribes and your Abel tribe, we must first save the Cain tribes.
(142-084, 1986.03.01)

Offerings to establish a global foundation

21. Why do I say you should become tribal messiahs? It is because you need to dissolve the bitter sorrow of Jesus. You also need to dissolve my bitter sorrow. Further, you need to dissolve the bitter sorrow of Adam.

What is Adam's bitter sorrow?

It is that he couldn't have an ideal family. What is Jesus' bitter sorrow? It is that he couldn't have an ideal nation. And my bitter sorrow is that I cannot have an ideal world.

Home Church is necessary to make indemnity conditions that fulfill the hope of Adam, the hope of Jesus, and my hope. Home Church sets the conditions to perfect the family, the nation, and the world. What I say is based on this principle.
(114-255, 1981.10.20)

22. The time for me to lead the Unification Church has passed. Now is the time for horizontal expansion. Hence, when each of you expands the family ideal to encompass your tribe, the world will naturally be restored by that much.

The way to expand the tribe is the Home Church. This is my final decision; it is made and settled. From now on, your blessed families must become one while attending Mother and Father.

When you have children, then the True Parents have to grant you, as parents, based on God's love, a decree for the right of ownership over material possessions.

You need to receive it as individuals, you need to receive it as couples, and your children need to receive it as well. Just as in the Old Testament Age, the New Testament Ag,e and the Completed Testament Age, conditions had to be set for you to receive God's love from True Parents as their representatives.

According to the Principle, you can go to the kingdom of heaven only after True Parents grant you the right of ownership. Unless you inherit this right, there is no way for you to go to the kingdom of heaven. (137-287, 1986.01.03)

23. All of you have parents, children, and belongings. Home Church is the place where all of them appear on a larger scale. Because Adam fell, he lost them all. We must recover them and offer them to God. We should recover what was lost and offer them all at one time to God through True Parents.

We have to do this. Then once God owns all this and gives it to True Parents, since they are our Parents, we ought to inherit it from them. Only if you do this will you be entitled to possess your house and claim your world. The basis for this is Home Church. It is the place of offering. It is an altar on which you are to make the three offerings. (101-339, 1978.11.12)

24. For the sake of proclaiming Home Church, I must move to awaken the nation spiritually. We must be one step ahead of others. We should proceed from the national church to the world church to the cosmic church. What is a church? It is an institution for separating the people of God from Satan.

There are different levels of this institution – the individual, the tribe, the people, the nation, and the world. People are separated from Satan based on the level of the church. Even though you are not settled down, you are still here due to the merit of the age.

I keep a rope attached to you, stimulating you and pulling you along. If it were not for this, Satan would have dragged all of you away. Home Church is where you can expand your foundation to the tribal level. It is where you as a tribal messiah expand your horizontal foundation by leading your tribe.

From the bottom, I have prepared the tribal-level foundation, the people-level foundation, the national-level foundation,n, and the world-level foundation.
(244-288, 1993.03.01)
