Faked Words of the Moon Family |
In an attempt to make their words important the unknown author has deceivingly claimed to be Kwon Jin Moon.
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Japanese Unification Church,
I am Kwon Jin. This is my third and last letter. My first and second letters have aroused not a little trouble and caused you anxiety.
I hear the second public notice has been issued. My impression is that it was a little too late. Maybe the third one will be out in the near future.
Have you read the second one? I hear it says a person of the headquarters brought it to the fourth son Kook Jin-Nim, my elder brother, and he confirmed it, and that Kook Jin-Nim definitely said it was not a letter Kwon Jin wrote.
It was rather late. I expected it would be reported more quickly.
I was a bit scared imagining if the report had been much more delayed. Because my one aim was to have it reported to Kook Jin-Nim officially through the headquarters, I am feeling very much reassured.
I owe all this to all those who assiduously distributed my letters among many Unification Church members. I make use of this opportunity to express my hearty thanks to them all. My first objective has been successfully achieved.
Now, you may wonder if Kook Jin-Nim afterward asked me about this, or he has not yet done anything like that. If he did ask me, how did I answer?
You may wonder if there was any contact between us, in what situation if there was, or if there has been no such contact. You may well be curious to know.
But I leave it to your imagination.
Maybe, in the third public notice something about it will be concretely published—“Kook Jin-Nim said so and so.” “At last Kwon Jin-Nim himself definitely denied it.” Or “Kwon Jin-Nim has not yet answered clearly about it.” At least I hope it will not report my declaring “No mistake! I swear I wrote it.”
As I explained in my first and second letters, the purport of these letters is to rally “7000 people who do not bow down to Baal,” explaining what it means and referring the readers to the “1.13 Charter.” What attitude I take is irrelevant at this stage. Naturally I need not say anything myself.
The problem is how many thoughtful people we can find who appreciate its truthfulness, judge it by their own reason, and agree with it without consulting anyone. My greatest concern is how many shikku (‘family member’ in Korean) members have been produced by Unification Movement who have outgrown old concepts of religion and personal interests.
I entreat you never to worry about what I say or do. Only understand what a grave historical indemnity is at stake.
I admit there are elements of doubts in this business. I guess many had uneasy feelings while reading my letters. Just now I cannot clear them away to your satisfaction. Please forgive my willfulness in resorting to this method.
But you may depend on it that such will prove to have been the best possible method, and that the distribution of my insistence and my view of the Principle in printed form will prove to be of tremendous significance in the near future.
After all I alone am responsible for this program. I have responsibility to myself for whatever will happen, so do not worry too much about yourselves. Strictly speaking, it is all the children of True Family including me who are responsible. You are not at all responsible. At this stage, regardless of whether Kwon Jin wrote it, or another wrote it in my name, the program is on its way steadily and inexorably.
Only there is one thing to be emphasized: Japan is Eve Nation, or Mother Nation.
It is of vital importance that my insistence and view of the Principle should be conveyed in Japanese first to Japan the Eve nation, to Japanese shikku. More important is that they should be left in printed form. This is a historical document to be kept forever for future generations.
I naturally do not expect those who now belong to organizations to understand what I say immediately. After all it contains some matters not written in Divine Principle. Besides, it is not an official message issued from recognized quarters.
As soon as the first letter was released, it naturally was treated as issued from an unauthorized quarter. As was expected, we were treated as a faction. This is in a sense what we expected. Such a document will be difficult to swallow for those who are committed to organizational principles and judge things right because Father approved them, and wrong because he disapproved them. Our program started perfectly in anticipation of being treated as a factional maneuver.
But the fact that it was documented officially was very important. To have it documented in printed form is very important. And it is quite natural that we should be viewed as Satan by headquarters for a certain period.
Remember even that lovable third son Hyun Jin-Nim and Dr. Kwak have been criticized and labeled as “Fallen Adam, Fallen Angel.” How could my action and insistence be accepted as those of God’s side immediately?
Pardon my lengthy preliminary.
Be that as it may, this is the 3rd installment—the last of the stages of formation, growth, and perfection, the stage for summarizing and concluding the foregone argument. I am writing now the minimal essence to be communicated to the world in printed form—to be kept forever.
As I promised, the theme of this third letter is “liquidation.” Because we shall have to review what we have learned, probably I am going to be longer than before, but I entreat your patience and unflagging attention.
So far, I have made a persistent appeal for the fact that the 40 years’ history of Unification Church (1960 to 2000) within Father’s lifetime was the time for reproduction of Christianity.
Family Magazine, 1995/1, No.35, “Day of All Things,” p.10.
The history of Christianity is the history for the restoration of Bride domain. The United Nations is the world centered on Christian cultural domain. Because the world of Bride domain opposed Father, it came to be necessary to indemnify for 4000 years’ history from Jacob’s family, within 400 years. But since Father cannot live 400 years, it must be done within 40 years of my lifetime. That is, 4000 years’ history must be indemnified for and restored within 40 years.
The Way of Pastors, Ch.6, “Spiritual Works and Dispensational Main Events,” 2 Father’s Holy Wedding, p.1095.
As was the case from 1960 to 2000, why must big commotions occur? The reason is because this is the time for liquidation. After choosing Mother in this way, Unification Church comes into woman’s time. Woman’s time is the time of tribulations.
Besides, I have explained that 12 years from 2001 to 2012 are allotted for the “perfect liquidation” of the history that has been successfully “reproduced” after getting over many sacrifices and tribulations.
At present, therefore, we have only a little time left—two years. Strictly, one year and ten months. Let’s hear the following Father’s words:
“Father’s Speeches on his Tour through 50 States of US,” at Victory Ceremony at East Garden, New York, April 18, 2001.
Therefore, we must make it in one lifetime. We have 12 years left. We have to restore your country. Take it gravely. It is really fabulous that Father alone should have to get over all historical times to bring God back to His throne. Even for lives it is impossible.
I could not go on with an attachment for life. Faithfulness must last for lifetime. Otherwise, God cannot sympathize with you. So, how busy Father was before the age of 80! Unification Church was going uphill from ’97 or ’98. Within 3 years we have to go over all the passes. How busy I was! You didn’t know it, did you?
You may have thought your everyday life will last, at it is, to the end of your life. Not so. What am I speaking? I must finish it in my lifetime. So you must. Yes. You must do it in your lifetimes. By the age of 92. Only on that condition Father will…
What is the age of 92? 12 years from 80. The limit is 2012. Father doesn’t know whether he is living or gone to spirit world then. But I have hope. You must know you have to do it while Father is here. Do you understand? (“Yes.”)
… You have to do it within your lifetimes. Since Father did it in about 40 years, the time limit for you is 2012.
... Now, let’s finish all in one lifetime. Say liquidation in one lifetime. (“Liquidation in one lifetime.”) Liquidation in one lifetime. (“Liquidation in one lifetime.”) Liquidation in one lifetime. (“Liquidation in one lifetime.”)
If you cannot liquidate, you must not take rest. We are not busy eating. We are busy working. Not busy sleeping. We are busy working. If you mistake in priority, you fail in all.
So far, I have explained that the phenomenon of the 3rd son verses 4th (7th) son of True Family is dispensationally arranged dividing and unifying of the topmost Cain and Abel, that it is the historical total liquidation to meet the 1.13, 2013 Origination Day, and that if this topmost Cain-Abel problem resulted in victory, it would be the starting point for establishing God’ kingdom.
This is exactly the origination of God’s kingdom ruled by the Principle, the foothold for God’s kingdom, for which Father has worked all his life. This seems to me the meaning of the slogan “Restore the Kingdom of God.”
Dear shikku members of Japan, the Eve Nation!
What would you do, if Father’s unswerving lifetime of 90 years really converged on “Origination Day”—Day of unification of True Family’s three generations—and the True Family’s division and unification, between the 3rd son and 4th/7th sons, had been prearranged for all that purpose?
What do you interpret “Origination Day” to be? What do you think is going to happen then, and how? What is Father going to do in concrete fact? Are America and the old Soviet going to get cross-blessing? Are North and South Americas going to get it? Are Buddhism and Christianity getting it? What is it that is called Cross-Blessing at all?
I understand this concept as ultimately and actually referring to the unification of Abel and Cain of the True Family. That is to say, I think Cross-Blessing means the unification of True Family’s three generations.
Father often speaks of big two nations, two religions, two cultures, in terms of opposing Cain-Abel relation, and almost always as metaphors for Cain-Abel inherent in True Family.
The following words at Joint Reading of Father’s words (Hoon-Dok-Hwe) testify it and are easy to understand:
2009.5.9, at Cheong-Jun-Won (天情苑) Joint Reading.
In order for the ideal world to start from the Garden of Eden, we have to seek and find out an ideal family which has gone asunder. Washington and Moscow have to be united. China and Moscow have to be united, too. Earthly paradise and earthly hell, materialism and idealism have to be united. Buddhism and Christianity are enemies and therefore must receive marriage blessing.
As I told you many times, Father’s ideas are always couched in double-meaning words. Take care you don’t take his language literally. You have always to be alert to the counterpart meanings of his speech.
In this speech, after the preliminary “In order for the ideal world to start from the Garden of Eden, we have to seek and find out an ideal family gone asunder,” it is said “Washington and Moscow have to be united. China and Moscow have to be united, too. Earthly paradise and earthly hell, materialism and idealism have to be united.
Buddhism and Christianity are enemies and therefore must receive cross-marriage blessing.”
“Ideal family” refers to True Family that should be the foundation of paradise. A true family should be a family where the three generations—grand-parents, parents, and grand-children—have fulfilled the standards of creation demanded by the Principle.
There must necessarily be Cain and Abel in the process of growing up. And such Cain and Abel are here compared to Washington and Moscow, China and Moscow, etc.
“Cross-marriage” or cross-blessing here mentioned must point to “unification of the three generations of True Family.”
Now, in order to understand the meaning of 2001 to 2012, I think the following words are very important. I think they clearly show what I mean when I insist the 40 years of Unification Church history (1960 to 2000) were intended for “reproduction” and “liquidation” of the history of the Bible.
I entreat you to read them carefully word by word, phrase by phrase.
Let us Win a Victory of God’s Fatherland and … “Cheon Il Guk Dispensation,” p.22.
From now on, God’s Kingdom will be opened. The rule is that True Parents who are not fallen enter it first. Heaven is not for their offspring who are fallen to enter. It is the Principle and provision. Because Father knew this day would come, he was extremely busy preparing for it. Several thousand years’ history had to be compressed to 12 years (2000 to 2012) and liquidated. (February 8, 2008)
Father should have restored Canaan and united the entire world by the age of 80, but he could not do it. Accordingly, because Abel-Cain still remained, Father received the second blessing, and proclaimed the abolition of Abel-Cain. So within 120 years from now, everything must be finished. Then, Father, who is in authorized position, curtailed the first 40 years (from birth), the second 40 years up to eighty, and the present 40 years, each into 4 years, and by the time Father is 92, which is 2012, everything must be finished. (July 8, 2004)
Because we have entered into the pressing planned-period in which we have to establish world-wide sovereignty by 2012, we have no time to rest. Of all wars this is the fiercest war. Therefore, once we are in the battlefield, we have to win victory and completely establish the rightfulness of filial duty, of unfailing loyalty, and of saintly children’s position. We have to go the way of the surrogate for God who has received heavenly mission, or of the substitute for Adam and Eve who lives to undo their failure, in order to unfailingly restore to God His sovereign rights. (November 15, 2001)
I think this way:
If True Children of True Family were unified, would it not be possible for Heaven to start even right now? …Washington and Moscow, China and Moscow, earthly heaven and earthly hell, materialism and idealism, Buddhism and Christianity—they all have to become one?
To all appearance it is impossible for them to become one by 1.13. 2013 Given the present situation, at least, it is improbable.
But if it comes to us True Children, it is still possible. If it is the problem of our becoming one and unifying the three generations of True Family, and if our achieving it is itself the “origination” of God’s Kingdom, then is it not possible to carry it out within the time limit !?!
Dear shikku members of Japan, the Eve nation,
What I am going to explain is very important. Please read it carefully and intently. If possible, you will do well to put this letter by your side, and read it repeatedly as necessity arises.
First, as regards the 12 years from 2001 to 2012, I think we can take this period as the extension of the period for liquidation, the 40 years’ Unification Church history from 1960 to 2000.
As it was initially intended, as it seems to me, not only the “reproduction of history” but also its “liquidation” were to have been completed within 40 years of Unification Church history (1960-2000). The last 7 of the 40 years (1994 to 2000) were actually meant for liquidation of Christian history (7 years of suffering), but because of the failure of fulfilling the 5% human responsibility, liquidation within this period was not completely done.
It is as the above quotation says. Let’s read it again:
Father should have restored Canaan and united the entire world by the age of 80, but he could not do it. Accordingly, because Abel-Cain still remained, Father received the second blessing, and proclaimed the abolition of Abel-Cain. So within 120 years from now, everything must be finished. Then, Father, who is in authorized position, curtailed the first 40 years (from birth), the second 40 years up to eighty, and the present 40 years, each into 4 years. And by the time Father is 92, which is the year 2012, everything must be finished. (July 8, 2004)
As to details of the 7 years from 1994 to 2000 (7 years of suffering for liquidation for Christian history), I will explain them at another opportunity, since they are very important.
Back to the previous topic, Father used to say every now and then: “Dividing Father’s lifetime, which is to be 120 years, into three 40-year parts, and then compressing each of them into 4 years, you get 4 and 4 and 4 years. These three 4-year parts are each applied to the first 4 years from 2001 to 2004, the second 4 years from 2005 to 2008, and the third and last 4 years from 2009 to 2012.” The last quoted speech is one example.
I am told that the 40 years from Father’s birth to his marriage (1920-1960) is reflected in the Church history of 2001 to 2004. He compressed 40 years into 4 years and made such reflection possible. And the next 40 years’ history of Unification Church (1960-2000) is reflected in the Unification Church history of 2005 to 2008.
It is well known that his life period from the age of 40 to 80, which is the 40 years of Unification Church history from 1960 to 2000, is the 4000 years of Jacob to Christianity compressed to 40 years of his lifetime. For Father, 40 years from the age of 40 to 80 was nothing but the period to reproduce-liquidate Judean and Christian histories.
Now, from the point of view of these 40 years having been compressed to 4 years (2005-2008), we can reasonably guess that the latter half of the 4 years (2007-2008) were spent to reproduce-liquidate Christian history.
In that sense, we can understand that the day December 31, 2008 meant the ending of the year 2000 over to 2001.
You surely remember that the year 2007 and the year 2008 started, respectively called “Hi-Nyeon” (禧年) and “Chil-Pal-Hi-Nyeon.” (七八禧年)
But these two years were allotted for the period to reproduce-liquidate Christian history—the last task imposed on the 40 years’ course of Unification Church. But as it turned out, contrary to the meaning of Hi-Nyun (Chil-Pal-Hi-Nyun)—joyful year—accidents serious to Unification Church history followed one another.
The passing away of the oldest son Hyo Jin-Nim (孝進), and that helicopter crash…
Now, as I am writing this, it is already March, 2011. We have come to the last half of the 4-year period (2009-2012) and have already passed through the first half of it.
What years were 2009 and 2010? It was during these years that the decisive division occurred between the 3rd son and 4th son (7th son) of True Family, and it surfaced.
Dear Friends! Why in the world does this decisive breach occur between True Family’s 3rd son and the 4th (7th) son, at this time? I do hope I am not surprising you too much. I tell you the conclusion first:
This is a phenomenon that occurred because Father’s direct (legitimate) children and his indirect (illegitimate) children have not been unified.
The oldest of Father’s legitimate sons is, as you know, Hyo Jin-Nim. There was timing for this Hyo Jin-Nim and the several illegitimate children, represented by Sung Jin-Nim (聖進), to get unified.
However, Hyo Jin-Nim, the oldest son representing the children of the legitimate domain, could not fulfill his responsibility. This was the very core responsibility imposed on Hyo Jin-Nim—to get united with the children of the illegitimate domain (several children represented by Sung Jin-Nim).
Again I tell you the conclusion first:
The reason for the decisive breach in True Family and its surfacing, the 3th son VS the 4th (7th) son, is because Hyo Jin-Nim, the oldest son representing the children of the legitimate domain, could not fulfill his responsibility.
And the most important central responsibility imposed on Hyo Jin-Nim—it was to get unified with the children of the illegitimate domain (several children represented by Sung Jin-Nim).
“Prepare for the Time to Come,” 1999/02/01
(Casually) Then, Hyo Jin and Hyung Jin of Unification Church are not here? Are they gone? Hyo Jin has not yet done anything important. I wish I could call him “Brother Hyo Jin”!
… so, because I could not very well play the role of a father, he could not become a filial child. There is no doubt about it. Father did not intend to have unchaste love (supply as he accuses me of having). If only I could set right the Cain-brother of the satanic world (meaning Hyo Jin-Nim) and lead him to liberate people in hell, (supply I thought I would not mind) my sons and daughters (meaning several illegitimate children represented by Sung Jin-Nim) sleeping anywhere, even dying… Once I have built the foundation, all can be restored.
Now, let’s confirm what I have written by Father’s words. On this confirmation depends the true or false of my conclusion. That is the very core of the message of this letter.
It is no exaggeration that I have prepared all and everything for this conclusion. I pray you stay pure-minded and objective as much as possible at Father’s words.
Then, please direct your attention to the following words:
Family, 1996/6, p.35.
If, after the Second World War, America (meaning Christianity) had received the Messiah and become one, an American woman would have been elected as True Mother. From the point of view of True Mother this woman would be a Cain-bride. It is on condition that an Abel-bride and a Cain-bride are unified that the foundation of True Mother is laid.
I believe this is one example of Father’s words that astonishes Unification Church believers. Don’t you think this speech is shocking enough to cause a commotion? Read it repeatedly.
According to Father, if America (Christianity) had received Rev. Moon, an American woman would have been elected to be True Mother. What do you think? This statement is astonishing enough.
The problem is that that American woman was in the position of True Mother.
Moreover, “from the point of view of True Mother this woman would be a Cain-bride. It is on condition that an Abel-bride and a Cain-bride are unified that the foundation of True Mother is laid.” Here it is said that the American woman who is elected to be True Mother is at once True Mother and Cain-bride. If so, there must be an Abel-bride on the other hand, it is said.
Father is here referring to the relationship of the first Mother (Sung Jin-Nim’s mother) to whom he was married at this time and the would-have-been American bride (True Mother). To borrow his words, both “Abel-bride and Cain-bride” were necessary.
All this means that the first Mother (Sung Jin-Nim’s mother) was in the Principle’s position of “Abel-bride” and “concubine” at once. That is, the first Mother and the second Mother alike were posted in the position of “Abel-bride” and “concubine” at once.
Since the present “Mother Han Hak Ja” occupies the place of legitimate wife, it follows from the tenor of this speech that Mother Han Hak Ja is in the position of “Cain-bride,” whereas the first Mother and the second Mother are allotted the “position of concubine” and “Abel-bride.”
This point of view does not exist in the present Unification Church, of course. That these words of Father should have appeared in the authorized magazine Family must be called a miracle. The editors and proof-readers must have wondered whether such words of Father should be published. So wonderful and precious are these words. The present Unification Church believes that the second Mother was necessary because the first Mother failed, and that because the second Mother failed, too, the present Mother Han Hak Ja was elected. We cannot help believing so, since we have been so instructed, and it does look like true.
In other words, the present Unification Church understands that the first and second wives failed as lawful wives, and that because the third, present Mother was a successful lawful wife, she is True Mother.
Very simple and easy to understand. But if the above-quoted Father’s words are true, then the explanation Unification Church gives us is really not true. If such is the case, doesn’t it cause a “big commotion”?
Let me repeat once again: the 40 years of Unification Church history down to 2000 was the period for reproducing Christianity in Unification Church. It was necessary to moderately Christianize Unification Church believers by giving them as absolute a “modernized Christian Principle” called Divine Principle.
Christians (Christianity at last days) are given the view of salvation that baptism and belief in Jesus’ crucifixion can give you salvation. A very similar situation must appear with Unification Church believers, dominating them with similar view of salvation, to make dispensational “reproduction” possible.
Don’t you think the present phase of Unification Church is very like the last phase of Christianity?
It said that, if you receive Father’s blessing, who is the subject of Second Coming, your original sin will be taken away, and you are promised a special place in heaven. First, you have to have your original sin liquidated, and then, live a life of faithful believer. Then, from generation to generation your offspring’s blood will be improved…
In this way, though the truth is not very well known, Unification Church salvation seems to be effected. Though anyway we are not very sure, let’s go on believing it! —Such is the very situation Father deliberately instructed and led believers to reach, to make reproduction-liquidation possible.
Be assured you are not at all responsible for having become Christianized, because that is what Father has done for you. …However, why did he do it without explaining it to you? What for? That is for the liquidation of the past.
You should know now that there was purpose and motive in it. This is time for you to know. Never must you miss the timing for knowing it.
This is all for “reproduction” and “liquidation.” You must know it was to graduate from religious history, to go beyond it, that you have had fervent religious faith. Your faith so far is for the purpose of getting over the history where past believers came to a halt, entrapped.
Father has put all his efforts in the reproduction of Christian history. With extreme care he has established for us the supreme standards to go by. The result is your present view of faith. Reproduction has succeeded. It was really a great victory.
I repeat again and again. The problem is “liquidation.” How can you liquidate anything without knowing what to do, how to do it? If you don’t know, you have nothing to do but walk the synchronicity of history.
While leading you to absolutely believe Divine Principle, for the sake of “reproduction,” Father, on the other hand, has left us the greatest hint possible so that we may get out of the path where past believers got stuck in the mire.
I dare say Father’s words which I am going to cite below will be really hard for you to understand, who absolutely believed in Divine Principle and made yourselves into ardent religious believers. The more perfectly you made yourselves believers of Divine Principle, the more probable it is that you will be shocked.
In a word, “commotion” will occur.
If this commotion does not occur, either you aren’t a very ardent believer, or you are a half-way believer. Or else, you may be a paragon of religious enlightenment who has already outgrown religious domain.
The following words of Father are those we often quote to explain the condition that Unification Church members are unable to get out of Archangel-religious domain (Bride-religious domain). These are the most useful, precious words of Father valued and shared among us few members who collaborate for the sake of the unification of True Family.
I entreat you to take them to your hearts:
Unification Church, p.9, 1963/5/22, at the former head office of Seoul)
People who are most difficult to convert are believers, religious people who believe in dispensation and the like.
KNS Netnews, 2008/1, No.25, “Day of Victory of Love” (愛勝日)
Today, we have come to the juncture when Unification Church members have to consider how to get out of the bounds of religious domain, and divest ourselves of old habitual trappings.
Either what we are talking about are facts, or we are speaking mysterious words. If they are facts, have you come to be able to see as Adam and Eve saw before their Fall, and guess what their world was like.
Considering the history of indemnity-restoration since the Fall of Adam and Eve to this day, have you ever thought about how important your responsibility was? The present place you inhabit is not at all like the original flowery world created by God. We live in a place eternally separated from that unimaginably free and peaceful, ideal domain. We never can be proud of ourselves before Heaven. At our world securely bound up with the fallen lineage, and considering how it can be possible to undo it, we are miserably forlorn to the point of despair.
Family, 2003/3, p.14, “God’s True Love and Repairing Heaven-Earth-Man Relationship”
In our long history, there never was one person who made the sacred truth clear that man has to graduate from religious life. Because I got to know God’s will at an early stage of my life, I never thought of founding a religion or a religious sect. Because Christianity, the central religion by God’s dispensation, did not receive the Heaven’s Way which is my teaching, I had to found an organization for the first time, called “The Holy Spirit Association for the Unification of World Christianity.”
… Since people called us by the name “Unification Church,” instead of the long formal appellation, we took it for our name. But I have been looking forward to seeing our signboard taken down, and I have been foretelling it will be done. In 1996 we took down our church signboard and put up another one: “Family Federation for World Peace and Unification.”
Dear Friends, we tend to say: “An interpretation that disagrees with Divine Principle is dubious,” or “Some of Father’s words are not consistent with Divine Principle. If these are true, then Unification Church is wrong to teach Divine Principle.”
Thus we tend to either-or judgment. This betrays we are as yet underdeveloped. Father’s words often include and mix both positions.
Since Father’s sermons and speeches are always full of double-meaning words, we should think as follows:
“Father has invested all his energy in reproducing Christian history. In so doing he led us to absolutely believe in Divine Principle. Thanks to it, we could become Christians far surpassing past Christians. And thanks to the opportunities we were given to read Father’s precious words before the rest of mankind, and also through directly touching his words leading us to true life, true love, and true lineage, we were enabled to know the real Principle. Although we are thus thrown into a commotion, we could be let into the real heart and situation of Father. We could newly recognize the meaning and value of being mobilized into Unification Church! We have lived wonderfully valuable lives that enabled us to touch God and Father’s history of suffering. From now on we would like to share this joy with many people.”
… I would like you to think in such a way.
We have continued “joint reading” as long as 12 years. I beseech you may understand Father in his truest sense. Some say, “There are contradictions in Father’s words recently. Even Messiah seems to be unable to resist his age. He is getting senile…”
Dear Friends! Father is far from senility! On the contrary he is clear-headed more than ever before. All too wonderfully he is giving us opportune speeches and dispensational directions without our knowing it. Father as I know him is through and through God himself. I am filled with awe saying to myself: “This is exactly what it is to be one with God! Can a man who is one with God live and do this far? This is really a hope!”
Thus, little by little, the truth that has been kept secret is being revealed. What we can say on the grounds of my explanations so far is this:
Father has direct children with his lawful wife (legitimate offspring’s domain) and indirect children with his unlawful wives in the position of concubine (illegitimate offspring’s domain).
There are rumors afoot that “Six Maries” really exist, together with many other various speculations, true or false. This can be called a symptom of the time drawing near when real facts will be made clear and the final explanation according to the Principle will be made.
Rachel and Leah, as lawful wife and concubine, and, the direct children (legitimate domain) and the indirect children (illegitimate domain), as Cain-domain and Abel -domain. These two sets of Cain and Abel—the male Cain-Abel and the female Cain-Abel (Leah and Rachel)—must be unified.
Such a unification is the essence and core of the “1.13, 2013 Origination Day,” namely, the “Day of unification of True Family’s three generations.”
“True Family’s three generations” mean not only the direct offspring (legitimate domain) but also the indirect offspring (illegitimate domain), all of their three generations coming together as One family under God.
This does not refer to the common blessed families as Unification Church believers. It refers to us True Family’s three generation-domain.
The fact is, “True Family” means the Family composed of the direct and indirect children, and their three generations becoming one, centered on God.
Blessed Family 11, p.42.
In order to fulfill God’s will, as the deputy of God on earth, it was necessary even by divorcing to establish the relationship of True Love, even by divorcing three times to establish the relationship of True Love.
(Dear readers! Father says he divorced three times. You thought it was two times, didn’t you? Here lies, too, Father’s sacred covered fact according to the Principle. …I don’t explain it here.)
Therefore, in earthly dispensation, men like Jacob received many wives. In the religious world, too, there are men who receive many wives. Islam also does that from the same motive.
In the case of Jacob, there were 4 women to get 12 sons, but it must be remembered that the ultimate problem was Leah and Rachel. With Rachel alone, restoration would be impossible. Restoration is made possible through tributary lines, of concubines or illegitimates.
Who will resolve the problem for me? Insisting on “pure love” at that, how would you resolve it? Therefore, Father developed the way, going through a way more atrocious than hell, suffering much pain. You must know that he has walked the way of king of Love’s Cross. That is for the salvation of women.
Insisting on “pure love” which is the ideal of creation, Father, on the other hand, put himself in the midst of the way of indemnity, where he could not have achieved restoration without going through “illegitimate way” or “tributary (concubine’s) way,” and he was compelled to develop a way to fulfill God’s dispensational will. It inevitably was a domestic thorny path, the way of Love’s Cross. There was no way to avoid it.
We must know that Father came to this world with the burden on his back of indemnifying for the entangled passions and relations of “direct (legitimate) creation” and “indirect (illegitimate) creation,” converging on the complicated relationships of lawful wife and concubine and their respective offspring.
I think we are now faced with the necessity of investigating, based on the real Principle, the real intent and meaning of God’s dispensation centering on Father, who, as the real Adam, had to go a way of tribulation with his wife and concubines.
2004/12/21, Father’s words at Joint Reading
We have to gain the world through the rule of indemnity for Cain and Abel. We have to raise high those who are fallen, and graft them. It is the rule that the legitimate family take the task, and Cain obey Abel.
The time is come for illegitimate children to come out of obscurity. All blessed families should learn by heart the 8th article of “Family Pledge.” A fabulously important meaning is loaded in it.
Father says, “The time is come for illegitimate children to come out of obscurity.” What is the relationship of legitimate children to illegitimate children? Remember that illegitimates are in Abel’s position, while legitimates are in Cain’s position. Therefore, “the rule that Cain obey Abel” means that “legitimates” should obey “illegitimates.” Of course, “illegitimates” here refers only to the “illegitimates” approved by heaven, and not to any illegitimates.
Family, 1997/4, p.32.
You must know that, in the last days, those who are in the position of divinely approved concubines and illegitimates will come to the central stage of the world.
Family, 1997/4, p.2.
Restoration is not achieved through the lawful wife, but through the lineage of concubines and illegitimates, now reversed in position.
Father’s declaration that this is the time for illegitimates to come to the fore can be interpreted to mean that, because these are the “last days” of the history of restoration-dispensation, illegitimates are bound to become central figures of the world.
Now that the dispensational situation of the time around 1945 has been indemnified for and restored since 2010, we are in the real sense meeting the “last days,” and it is time now we may expect the illegitimates “approved by heaven” to be “reversed in position” and come to the fore.
So, dear reader, please understand that we should not betray Father by simply watching True Family in disharmony and not offering any help, and that “True Family” is a concept encompassing all the offspring of Father, including those of the illegitimate domain represented by Sung Jin-Nim.
I repeat: the term “True Family” refers to all Rev. Moon’s offspring including the illegitimate domain represented by Sung Jin-Nim.
So far, Unification Church could not help concealing the existence of the offspring of illegitimate domain.
Not that they didn’t know it, but that, even if they knew, they could not explain their existence from the point of view of the Principle. Nor was it not yet time to explain it. Unification Church is not responsible for it, not to be accused of it.
For it was, in fact, a matter solely for the oldest son Hyo Jin-Nim of the legitimate domain to account for. However, it can be said that the time has come at last for us to know all, and for us to be able to explain the reason of their existence from the Principle point of view.
All this happened because the oldest son Hyon Jin-Nim passed away, taking on himself the responsibility for his failure. This is a matter for great regret, a fact to rend your heart. This was nothing but a sacrifice as the representative of the legitimate domain of True Family.
Now, let’ close this part of the story.
What really caused and induced the breach between the 3rd son and the 4th (7th) son and made it decisive to the public eye was the failure of the oldest son Hyo Jin-Nim to fulfill the responsibility as the representative of legitimate domain.
And the most important, central responsibility imposed on him was getting unified with the illegitimate domain (several children and grandchildren represented by Sung Jin-Nim).
The unification of legitimate and illegitimate domains—this was the final, most compressed Abel-Cain issue left for True Family.
In other words, the division of the 3rd son against 4th (7th) son is the indemnity-restoration dispensation to make the oldest legitimate son’s position confront again the illegitimate domain, in order to retrieve what Hyo Jin-Nim was unable to do.
The present Abel-Cain issue of the “3rd son VS 4th (7th) son” on the side of legitimate domain is similar to the Abel-Cain issue of the “illegitimate VS legitimate.” This strife was something not needed to occur, at least for Father, if the oldest son had fulfilled his responsibility.
Whatever Father deliberately does is to reproduce something and liquidate it. Undoubtedly it is meant for indemnity-restoration. He is through and through a man of true love and the Principle.
If so, it must be easy for you to guess—I mean, for what reason does Father deliberately (provisionally) make a wicked man of his 3rd son Hyun Jin-Nim? I am going to explain about it.
Then from now on, I will explain on the topic: “Brother Hyun Jin: the man who was provisionally given the position responsible for indemnity-restoration of the deceased, legitimate oldest son Hyo Jin’s position.”
There is one premise you have to understand first.
I am referring to Father’s position who assumed to himself the creation of legitimate domain and illegitimate domain. Without doubt, this is the position of Zacharias in historical time. Father had to walk the way “Zacharias” walked, too.
If I say such a thing abruptly, you may wonder and ask, “Father is Adam. Why is he Zacharias?” You may well ask. This is not given in the Unification Church view of the Principle and dispensation—not, of course, in the Divine Principle.
But it is not advisable to meticulously quarrel because the Divine Principle does not give it. It is now about time you should get used to the idea that in Father’s words there are “the Principle down to the time of Jesus” and “the real Principle of the day of Father.”
I would like you to understand that Father has to speak deliberately ambiguously, mixing both Principles, for the inevitable reason that he must speak for the sake of both reproduction and liquidation.
I am really sorry for repeating too often, but this is so important that I have to say it again:
You have to understand that God and Father intentionally gave you Divine Principle, which is a modern version of Christian principle, as absolutely to be trusted, in order to reproduce Christian history.
Its aim was to reproduce Christianity in 40 years of Father’s one lifetime, and by causing a “commotion” in the last days of that (reproduced) Christianity, effect the “liquidation” of the heaven’s demands that Christianity failed to fulfill. First, he reproduces history. What for? The aim of his doing it is to lead people to get over the “commotion” and “liquidate” it.
This is the real circumstances God and Father are placed in. What sad, distressful circumstances they are in! How great are sacrifices that attend on such reproductions! What pain will it give you to do it knowing what it will bring!
Dear readers, it is impossible to get into Father’s heart, unless you really know the situation in which God and Father are placed. It is an area accessible only to those who know the real Principle and what it demands.
We often use the word shimjeong (心情, deep felt feelings or heart) easily, but I wonder if we are using this word properly. I should say it might be necessary to redefine the word. Only when we could feel with God and Father, would we be able to use this word properly.
Hoon Kyo Hwe, Part 1 (訓教経・上), p.215, p.269.
To reach such a level of shimjeong, you must be able to say, “My Father created us with such an aim, suffered to such a degree because of our Fall, and sending Jesus to this world, he has had such a shimjeong for two thousand years.” You must know what such a God is pouring his shimjeong to achieve, with no one else but “me” in his head.
From now on, we must try to know God’s situation, and say: What am I to do on that knowledge? How is God’s shimjeong? On that knowledge we are allowed to say, “He is my Father.”
Father has walked the path of reproducing and liquidating all history of the Bible—first, from Adam to Jacob, then, from Jacob to Zacharias, then, to Jesus, to the Subject of Second Coming—all in one lifetime. Naturally, because he reproduces Judean and Christian histories within his lifetime, the Unification Church history of 40 years contains both Judean history and Christian history.
What does it mean?
It means that the lurid and miserable history of Jesus’s being killed because he and John the Baptist could not become one at the peak of Judean history, and on that score, Christianity had to come to replace Judaism—this ghastly history is already reproduced in the 40 years’ history of Unification Church.
Why does Father talk about the time of Jesus with so much reality? We must understand that Father is implicitly warning us not to fall into the sad synchronicity of history, when he reproduces Biblical history inside Unification Church.
Dear Readers! To tell the truth, Biblical history has already been reproduced in the Unification Church history of 40 years, and is becoming a thing of the past.
First, Father placed himself in the position of Zacharias and created direct offspring (legitimate domain) with the lawful wife. This is John the Baptist domain: Cain domain, so to speak.
Then, he placed several women believers as well as the first mother in the position of concubine, and with these women created indirect offspring (illegitimate domain). Since this is the reciprocal position to the aforesaid “John the Baptist domain: Cain domain,” it may be called “Jesus domain: Abel domain.”
We, direct offspring of legitimate domain represented by Hyo Jin-Nim, can be called “John the Baptist domain,” while the offspring of illegitimate domain represented by Sung Jin-Nim are to be called “Jesus domain.”
And the fact that the representative of legitimate domain is direct oldest son Hyo Jin-Nim means that Hyo Jin-Nim is the oldest son of John the Baptist domain. In contrast, the fact that the representative of illegitimate domain is indirect oldest son Sung Jin-Nim means that none other than Sung Jin-Nim is the oldest son of Jesus domain.
Dear Readers, in short, Father is “Zacharias”; Hyo Jin-Nim is “the oldest son of John the Baptist domain”; and Sung Jin-Nim is “the oldest son of Jesus domain.”
What is it?! Isn’t there something wrong with this? John the Baptist is elder brother to Jesus. Therefore, if synchronic similarity is demanded, Hyo Jin-Nim should be senior, isn’t it?
If you regard the dispensational view of Divine Principle as absolute, such a question will be very easily raised.
I am making a guess from Father’s words which are not found in Divine Principle and unexplainable by it. So, we cannot say what we insist is absolute, but we can say we are insisting nothing that is groundless. We are making guesses grounded on Father’s words.
When we make a study of Father’s words, we have to make a synthetic reasoning, not only from Divine Principle, but also from the “real Principle” that can be found strewn in Father’s words, and is unexplainable by Divine Principle, and then also from the viewpoint of how they match actual facts.
What I can say for sure at present is that Father has his offspring of illegitimate domain composed of several children, and that since they cannot be called legitimate domain, in collating them with Zacharias’s family two thousand years ago, we cannot but call the legitimate domain “John the Baptist domain” and the illegitimate domain “Jesus Domain.”
For the present we cannot help saying so.
We cannot simply say that age is all important in deciding which is the legitimate domain and which the illegitimate. At least in this case, senior or junior doesn’t seem to count very much.
As a matter of fact, among the illegitimate offspring, there are one person in the position of Adam, another in the position of Jesus, and yet another in the position of Subject of Second Coming. At least I have made sure of a high probability of that fact.
As yet, I would not like to say who is who.
Dear Friends, do you know Father recently said that Hyun Jin-Nim was Adam, Kook Jin-Nim was Jesus, and Hyung Jin-Nim was Subject of Second Coming?
Of course, this must not be interpreted literally. The more you take it literally, the more you will be thrown in confusion. Why so? Because it was told intentionally to create a commotion—as befitting in these last days.
This is to be interpreted that, since in the illegitimate domain there are one in the position of Adam, another in that of Jesus, and yet another in that of Subject of Second Coming, similarity or parallelism is intended here between the two counter domains, by saying “Hyun Jin is Adam, Kook Jin is Jesus, and Hyung Jin is Subject of Second Coming.”
Dear Readers!
Father’s words are always spoken in double-meaning words to hint at counterpart meanings.
It is a real truth that commotion and confusion are intended. It all means how difficult and full of confusion it is to liquidate our history in which we have killed One who was to come through literally believing the Bible.
Now, the problem is that Judaism is past and, strictly speaking, the last phase of Christian history is also past. That is, we are living past the year 2000. We are now at the end of 2001-to-2012 period. By 2000 we should have finished all works of reproduction and liquidation, but through failure of our awareness of it we could not do it.
Hyo Jin-Nim, who was the oldest and representative of legitimate domain, could not fulfill his responsibility.
The current dispensation, that is, the division and unification of “the 3rd son and the 4th (7th) son” is the last dispensation which we are intended to go through by compressing all history of the strife between Abel (illegitimate-Jesus domain) and Cain (legitimate-John the Baptist domain).
The “3rd son verses 4th (7th) son” problem is essentially being developed as “legitimate-Baptist domain verses illegitimate-Jesus domain” problem. This is a matter developed as similarity (parallelism) relationship.
Father should have restored Canaan and united all the world by the age of 80, but he could not do it. Accordingly, because Abel-Cain still remained, Father received the second blessing, and proclaimed the abolition of Abel-Cain. So, within 120 years from now everything must be finished. Then, Father, who is in authorized position, curtailed the first 40 years (from birth), the second 40 years to eighty, and the present 40 years, each into 4 years. And by the time he is 92, which is the year 2012, everything must be finished. (2004/7/8)
Among Father’s works of restoration, the creation of “legitimate-Baptist domain” and “illegitimate-Jesus domain” is the mystery of mysteries of the Bible which is not understood as the Principle.
Dear Friends, I hope you have understood all by now.
Hyo Jin-Nim, who represents the legitimate domain, should have arrived at the complete solution about the Principle-derived position and mission of the offspring of Jesus domain represented by the oldest Sung Jin-Nim, and on that understanding, he should have liquidated all the failure of historical Abel and Cain.
Hyo Jin-Nim was the veriest John the Baptist.
And it is Hyun Jin-Nim, the third son, your beloved, who is to indemnify and restore that position, and is expected in the near future to undertake the big work as John the Baptist.
For that purpose, poor Hyun Jin-Nim is made a sinful man of for no reason, and allotted the position of a wicked man. Father does it on purpose. In the same vein, the fourth and seventh sons are deliberately given roles provisionally on the side of God
The fourth and seventh sons are used. Readers, can you believe it?
I, Kwon Jin, and my sympathetic friends are passionate lovers of the following words of Father.
With my foregoing explanations in mind, please read the ensuing rather long set of quotations (omitted parts are shown by “…”):
“Father’s Speeches on his Tour through 50 States of America,” 2001/4/18, at a party to celebrate victory of the Tour, East Garden, New York
…You have to resolve such a history in one lifetime. In one lifetime. Do you understand? Not in several lifetimes. Father must resolve it in Father’s one lifetime.
To have to historically totally indemnify for what Adam’s family could not achieve in his lifetime, and to take care of all in my lifetime—try to consider how tremendously difficult it is. Nor, on that account, is there any help offered. If you look around, you find nothing like that. There is only God.
But even that God—I sympathized with Him. Not that He helped me. It’s a rule God does not—could not help you. If He did, would Satan be silent?
Because Judaism of Israel and Christianity lost the foundation to build upon—lost because they could not fulfill their responsibility, God must stand alone. Reverend Moon must stand alone. In that condition he had to struggle for 40 years—40 years with Mother as the center.
…
You have to accept on yourself all (evil) thoughts that have prevailed since the time of Adam, through Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and through two thousand years of Christianity, as if you were the target of all bullets that are shot against you.
…
If Father had a half-way mind like yours, what would have become of this world? It would all have been broken to pieces. But because I am responsible and in charge of this world, I hold to it till I die, till I fall. No one can tell me “Stop!” I keep pulling it under such a condition.
And yet, how nice it would have been, if Father by himself had started on a locomotive and could have kept going on easily! But he loaded on himself all burdens of the world and must keep pulling the burden of the history of four thousand years, of six thousand years. Do you understand what I am talking about? Moreover, I have to finish it in my lifetime. Father has to take care of the history of thousands of years all through his life.
…
Therefore, how busy Father was till he became 80 years old! Unification Church began going uphill around ’97 or ’98. Within three years from now, we have to go over all the passes before us. How busy it was you sure had no idea.
You may have thought that, in your course of life, such days as you meet every day would continue. Not so. Do you understand what it is about? Finishing within one lifetime applies to you, too. You must finish it within your lifetime. By the age of 92. Only on that condition, Father will….
What is the age 92? It’s 12 years from 80. It is by the year 2012. I don’t know whether I am still alive or gone to spirit world, but I have a hope. You must know that while Father is in this world, you have to do this. Do you understand? (“Yes.”)
…
All blessed families must know that this is a critical time you stake your lives to get over. Can you do it, or cannot? (“We can.”) Is there anything to adhere to? Where is it? What is your house? What is your land? What your wife, or children? Your very mother country is getting lost. Father thought that way.
Father had to neglect his children. Did he ever look back to attend them? So, Kook Jin one day complained placing us parents before him:
“Are you two really our parents? Or are you parents of those 36 families whom we don’t want even to see, or of those people hated by us all?”
So, what did Father say? Father didn’t say, “I have to be father of those people before I am yours.” If I said it, everything would be over, wouldn’t it?
…
Therefore, the time is already so close around that we know it for ourselves and say, “Wow, the world has already become as it was said.”
It will be known then that the father is not the father his children criticized, or how the world is destined to become. But it is no use knowing it when it’s known. Only when you know it beforehand, you can succeed my legacy. You can understand? (“Yes.”)
What I am talking about is how God had been looking for a perfected Adam all along, so that His dispensation might be finished in one lifetime. Because God knew that three historical times—Old Testament time, New Testament time, and Complete Testament time—must be concluded in one lifetime, it’s hard to imagine how He was in haste.
Even so, the six thousand years’ history was needed. It must be indemnified for in 40 years. You cannot afford to take time. It takes all imaginable efforts to ….
…
Ladies and gentlemen, it must be finished in one lifetime. Because it was done through 40 years of Father’s lifetime, it must done by 2012.
…
If you have a plan, you have to do it according to your plan. Do you think Father used his 80 years without a plan, only doing it on the spur of the moment? Do you understand or not? (“We do.”)
…
Father had to finish it in one lifetime, because it is his destined work. Where is time to rest? You have to keep going, even getting over mountains. If your foot hurts, you have to go rolling down like a snowball. Imagine bearing such a responsibility….
….
You must know it. Understand? (“Yes.”) How I was all at a loss how I could do it, to finish it in a lifetime! I never thought what to eat, what to wear, how to do what.
….. There is no one else but True Father, no one else who bears the responsibility to indemnify for all history all through his life, in his one lifetime. Did he do it? (“He did.”) He survived. He managed to live on, to struggle on….
…
Now, let us finish all in one lifetime. Say, liquidation in one lifetime. (“Liquidation in one lifetime.”) Liquidation in one lifetime. (“Liquidation in one lifetime.”) Liquidation in one lifetime. (“Liquidation in one lifetime.”)
If you cannot do it, you are not allowed to rest. You should not be busy eating. You are busy working. You should not be busy sleeping. If you try to do them first, you are bound to fail.
Father often experiences not knowing morning from evening, confusing day and night. I sometimes fall asleep in the evening, and on waking up, mistake evening for morning, and brace up for a new day. When I say I have to breakfast, people say “Father has gone mad.” But I have always lived that way, like a mad man. I was engrossed in getting to know what was behind things, what difficult complicated conditions are entwined with indemnity-restoration. And I cleared the way to it.
Among the above quotations I want to draw your special attention to the following:
Father had to neglect his children. Did he ever look back to attend them? So, Kook
Jin one day complained placing us parents before him:
“Are you two really our parents? Or are you parents of those 36 families whom we don’t want even to see, or of those people hated by us all?”
So, what did Father say? Father didn’t say “I have to be father of those people before I am yours.” If I said it, everything would be over, wouldn’t it?
Therefore, the time is already so close around that we know it for ourselves and say, “Wow, the world has already become as it was said to become.” It will be known then that the father was not the father their children criticized, or how the world had been destined to become. But it is no use knowing it when it’s known. Only by knowing it beforehand, you can succeed to my legacy. You can understand? (“Yes.”)
Dear Friends! You can understand how it is. Father could not say anything in answer to Kook Jin Nim’s condemnation. If Father did say what he really wanted to say, everything would come to an end.
This is not such simple story as, if you cannot love Cain’s offspring, how can you love Abel’s. Father often tells such a thing in his preaching.
Even if Father does not directly say “I have to be father of those people before I am yours,” we children of legitimate domain understand it very well. True, we have felt not-to-be-assimilated sadness and loneliness, but we have always been taught by surrounding elder shikku people and siblings to conquer it, and by reason we were always convinced.
Yet, by saying “I have to be father of those people before I am yours,” Father evidently refers to the children of the illegitimate domain.
This is what we children of the legitimate domain never dreamt of.
The real Abel comes from the illegitimate domain: Jesus domain, and the Jesus domain cannot come to the fore, so long as Baptist domain does not fulfill its mission.
So long as historical cross-blessing is not done in which the elder brother becomes the younger brother, and the younger becomes the elder, human history will not be cleared.
And because, for Father, it is Jesus who must finally come to the position of his oldest son, he says “I have to be father of those people (illegitimate domain) before I am father of you (legitimate domain).”
If, in the first place, Hyo Jin-Nim, the oldest son of legitimate domain, had fulfilled his mission as John the Baptist domain, none of this indemnity problem would occur to us younger brothers down from the third son.
The legitimate domain i.e. John the Baptist domain is historically responsible for the failure of John the Baptist, who caused the death of Jesus. This is really a grave matter.
Hyo Jin-Nim (孝進) who took the position of the oldest son of legitimate domain—the history shouldered by this personage must now be shifted to someone else with indemnity to be executed all on his shoulder. The second son Heung Jin-Nim (興進) is no longer here. The role consequently cannot but fall on the third son Hyun Jin-Nim (顕進).
You read this passage in the previous quotation:
Therefore, the time is already so close around that we know it for ourselves, and say “Wow, the world has already become as it was said.” It will be known then that the father is not the father his children criticized, or how the world is destined to become. But it is no use knowing it when it is known. Only when you know it beforehand, can you succeed to my legacy. You understand? …
The point here is the passage “it is no use knowing it when it is known. Only when you know it beforehand, can you succeed to my legacy. You understand?” –Only when you know everything beforehand and you do it on that knowledge, you can be said to have liquidated something.
This is the mystery I, Kwon Jin, am solving on behalf of the legitimate domain. But in the long run, it is to be dedicated to the third son, my brother Hyun Jin-Nim. And I am doing it as a process of inducing the “Baptist domain” to a unity around the 3rd son again, and bringing them to wait upon the offspring of “Jesus domain,” and finally attribute all glory to them.
Thus far, I have explained about the background and real reason for my brother Hyun Jin-Nim’s present forced positioning on the wicked side. What do you think of it?
Dear Friends, what feelings do you have now?
From now on, Brother Hyun Jin must go on bearing the role of Brother Hyo Jin, that is, the oldest son of the Baptist domain. When will it start? It will be in the very near future—never in the distant future.
If early, it will be within the year 2011.
Even if late, by April 2012 at the latest, I think Hyun Jin-Nim is given the mission of starting on this business, in place of the late Hyo Jin-Nim, as the oldest son of legitimate domain (Baptist domain).
Otherwise, we cannot be in time for “2013.1.13 Origination Day.”
Dear Friends, I entreat you to give us your help so that my brother Hyun Jin may fulfill his mission, that he may forgive my brother Kook Jin and my younger brother Hyung Jin, so that all may be unified. This is my entreaty, Kwon Jin’s entreaty from the bottom of my heart.
This is made possible and actualized only by your agreement with the “1.13 Charter” of the “1.13 Project” –a project I am furthering and will be implemented by the help of 7000 shikku members of Japan, the Eve country, who will form the foundation for this project demanded by the Principle.
Your mere agreement with the “1.13 Charter” will be enough for our project to take its way.
We do not ask for your offering or donation, anything like that. Is it not wonderful?
What a cheap dispensation! Was there ever anything like this to Japanese Unification Church members?
It is all as I explained in my first letter.
In supporting the “1.13 Charter” your position or belonging does not matter at all. Whether you belong to the 3rd son Outlaw party or the 4th (7th) son Church Authority party or any other Particular party does not matter at all.
Naturally you need not belong to My party, either. You simply need to agree with the “1.13 Charter.” What matters is how many people have grown up enough to see our point during the 40 years’ history of Unification Church.
Let’s put aside your possible calculation of your own safety or salvation by some choice of group. Such a calculation peculiar to the religious world must be outgrown. For once, let’s collaborate to build heaven on our own.
Heaven is the kingdom of God. The foundation of the kingdom of God is “unification of the three generations of True Family.” The “2013.1.13 Origination Day” is the day of “unification of the three generations of True Family,” the day to mark the “origination” of the millennium we are going to build. This is a matter for Father’s Family. Establishing Father’s family as the True Family is the starting point for building Heaven.
Now, as a matter of fact, is it none of our concern whether or not a seed of fire for family strife remains in that True Family?
This True Family centered on Father is the representative family on which our great wish and chance is wagered to put an end to the Abel-Cain strife, the original evil that has led human history so miserably.
What is needed now is our simple, pure wish that the True Family would be united. Whatever position and responsibility you take in the organization, I suppose this wish should be the same.
This is time for all sects and parties to transcend their boundaries and become one in the sincere wish for the True Family to satisfy all requirements of the Principle to get united. It is a harmony within Unification Church that is required—harmony transcending the difference of views and levels of faith.
The “1.13 Charter” is the symbol and testimony of that harmony.
The number of supporters of the “1.13 Charter” will be indication of our wish that the 3rd son and the 4th and 7th sons would be reconciled. It is easy to express our will. At the same time this is your actual step toward “building heaven.”
At present, the period till 2013.1.13 is the chance given us to actually build heaven. This will be a great historical, privileged feat that is possible only for you to achieve. This will be an achievement you can boast yourselves to your offspring—perhaps the last dispensational feat.
Heaven is not something to enter. It is something for us to build. Dear Friends! If this latter was your motive when you entered this Unification Movement, this is the chance for you to actualize your initial desire—chance to connect alpha and omega.
This is quite a natural course of things. If your initial wish was to build heaven and eternal peace, you should be acting now.
Now, do you wonder—do you doubt the possibility of the “3th son VS 4th (7th) son” strife being resolved, of those brothers forgiving each other?
If ever such a doubt should prove true, then they are not Father’s children. I would be simply speechless. Satan himself would laugh. If they cannot surmount their enmity and difficulty, there is no hope for our future.
I say this because I have no doubt of their excellent personality. I have no doubt that they will repent and forgive each other, arrive at the deep secret of Father’s situation, and get unified.
But, for this to happen, your agreement with this “1.13 Charter” is absolutely necessary. This is the orderly process of things demanded by the Principle. This procedure cannot be skipped over.
Once Father used to explain repeatedly, “Judaism is Abel and the nation of Israel is Cain.” What does it mean?
If applied to us now, True Family means top leaders of Judaism, and you supporters of the “1.13 Charter” mean leaders of various fields of Israel. Both groups are important people who have to meet the requirements of the Principle.
The top family of Judaism was Zacharias’s family as priest family. And, Zacharias’s family and Joseph’s family were historically important families which were destined and ordained to create legitimate line (John the Baptist) and illegitimate line (Jesus) respectively. This is the symbol of the True Family.
That is, the True Family is tantamount to the priest family (top family) of Judaism.
And, you supporters of the “1.13 Charter” take the position of top leaders of Israel representing those excellent people who are willing both to defend Father’s difficult status as creator of legitimate and illegitimate lines, and to protect and raise his offspring, legitimate and illegitimate, who are expected to face a variety of difficulties owing to their destined positions.
Historically, there is not even one instance of nation which was created by church and race collaborating to meet the requirements of the Principle of creation. This is the problem. There is no past instance of such a form of nation. Father has always been crying, “There is no country of our own!”
Dear Friends! What I am proposing is nothing special—a matter of course for one who loves Unification Movement and takes part in it?
We are taking part in Unification Movement to create an ideal world of eternal peace. That is, we have dedicated our lives to creating a kingdom of God.
We all have had a desire to effect peaceful unity in advance of any other people, inspired by Father who founded this Movement. How can we cry “peaceful unity” if its headquarters are not peacefully unified?
It’s time to look at our own foothold.
Things happened in the past. Many of them were unpardonable, sad, and hard to bear.
Nevertheless, in spite of all, now that True Family is breaking down, I pray you do rise and help us to restore it. I do beg your forgiveness…
Or, do you say there have been too many things really unpardonable, so that you are unable to pardon, be it True Family or anything, and you want to see everything go to hell?
Those who can say it happily are only those people who are against Unification Church. They oppose Unification Church because they cannot understand anything. They are not to blame. Rather, they are people who prompt us toward realization of our ideal. They are people so much welcome to us.
Most people in general are not interested, not even conscious of Unification Church. Dear Friends! Heaven must first be built inside Unification Church.
Dear Friends! To this day, there was not a single day Father’s beloved offspring on both sides could become one, understanding the real heart of Father.
That is to say, there was never a day in history when John the Baptist realized all and received Jesus as the real legitimate oldest son. To this day, Father’s children of illegitimate domain who are placed in Jesus’ position have never been able to see sunlight.
This is the same synchronic pattern as the distressful tragedy 2000 years ago of Jesus being killed on account of John the Baptist
God sent Jesus as Messiah to the Judaist and the secular Israelis. We learned the history that, at the peak of Judaism, the most reliable John the Baptist (legitimate son) committed the failure of doing away with Jesus (illegitimate son), the Messiah to come.
What am I driving at? I am saying that unfortunately, in Unification Church too, that lurid incident has already occurred. Only, our hope is that, while Father is still alive, this can be indemnified and restored. We have yet a chance and the very last mountain pass is arranged for us to get over.
By getting this over all can be “liquidated.” There is one real measure for revival at the very last stage! …If so, why not endeavor to make it happen? Rather say we must do it at any cost!
In the history of Unification Church there strictly inhere Judaic history and Christian history. They are unmistakably “reproduced.”
Those people in Unification Church who take the position of past Judaism and first Israel, or those who take the position of Christianity and second Israel, are as yet unaware of it, and keep neglecting some people secretly sent by Father in place of God—the Jesus-like man, or the person suggestive of Second Coming, and their relatives.
This is equivalent to denying Jesus, denying the subject of Second Coming, and ultimately having killed them or trying to kill them.
Dear Friends! Biblical history is really reproduced in our Unification Church!
All this comes to the problem, after all, that a few people of the Baptist domain God relied on as time came, could not solve nor understand Father’s words, and therefore could not deal with anything properly—as I understand it.
To indemnify for such a failure of the Baptist, what a great amount of tribulation would be waiting for you to surmount! Just now, as you know, Brother Hyun Jin is deliberately made a wicked man of, and attacked and attacked. What an unimaginable suffering it may be!
If you are really a wicked man, such an attack is the natural consequence of your deeds.
Hardships occur when you are mistaken for what you are not, and exposed as such without opportunity for excuse. Even worse is when you are called wicked in spite of your good deeds. We should learn from history and become sensitive to such cases.
Dear Friends! Now is the time we should discern the dispensational purport of Father! Father arranges everything knowing it in advance, and develops only what is necessary for indemnity/restoration. He does nothing useless!
Be that as it may, Brother Hyun Jin must now go through every hardship to restore the failure of the oldest legitimate son, representative of Baptist domain. And, just as we expected, he rose and took on himself all evils, and is fighting bravely to fulfill dispensational will. He is really wonderful.
Only, there are limits to your power of endurance when you suffer without knowing why. Brother Hyun Jin must realize what is behind this as quickly as possible. If you realize it, your suffering suddenly changes into gratitude.
In this particular case, there is a Principle-derived rule to observe, that you prepare a foundation and then proceed orderly and systematically. It cannot be cleared easily by human speculations and strategies. First of all, a foundation is needed of your agreement.
No! Then, why don’t you Kwon Jin instruct Hyun Jim-nim about it?
If you think that way, you think in the same way as the general public, ignorant of indemnity/restoration Principle in the real sense. Such thinking is of a man who does not know the fact that, from the beginning of this world, there are Law and Principle working rigorously, incessantly.
In the first place, Father is the Messiah grown one with God and capable of seeing through all. Why can’t he tell the truth plainly? We should by now be experts as regards this indemnity/restoration problem.
Dear Friends! Stay tuned to what Father is doing in the near future to Unification Church.
Stay watching in what process he is going to restore his 3rd son Hyun Jin to his proper position. I daresay in the near future he will arrange everything so as to lead Mother and the 4th/7th sons into a commotion.
Let me add here that there are some misconceptions that leaders of Unification Church are prone to—those who consider themselves faithful to Mother and the 4th/7th sons.
“There seems to be something even Father can’t see… Actually, he doesn’t censure us even if we report to him some falsehood… If he sees through everything, he should say something in censure… But failing that, even Father does not understand everything.”
This is too shallow of them.
Father can see through everything, if necessary. He has a technique to tune in to your mind. He is really God himself. The standard the real Adam reaches is being dominator of the universe. Father even uses such speculations of leaders for the sake of dispensational will. He uses their motives.
Father will be causing “commotions” to the leaders close the 4th/7th sons, to those close to Mother, and finally arrange things so as to restore the 3rd son Hyun Jin Nim to his position.
The problem is the attitude you take then. I wonder in what attitude you are concerned with True Family. Do you side with the 4th/7th sons, or with 3rd son? Or with the “1.13 Charter” I propose? This is the problem. Just now, our program is smoothly on its way. Dear Friends! Be sure you never waver this way and that, talking about Abel side or
Cain side, looking at Father’s complexion. Please be determined to stand on the side of “builders of heaven” as masters of peaceful unification. I hope at least those who are reading this letter now are such people. Now, after these shocking facts I told you, let us confirm the “1.13 Charter” again:
<1.13 Charter>
Rev. Moon is reproducing (or re-enacting) the world-historical problems and tasks (social-international conflicts and troubles) within the time and space of the Unification Movement started by himself. On the other hand, he is developing all problems and tasks arising in the Unification Movement, as, on a smaller scale, those of the three generations of the True Family. Accordingly, if the three generations of the True Family can fulfill the standards of the Principle and unify themselves, they can resolve all problems and tasks of the Unification Movement and, in turn, resolve world-historical problems and tasks, bringing them to a close true to the Principle. We take the “2013.1.13 Origination Day,” also called “Dispensational D-Day,” to be the day to mark the finishing off of all human-historical tasks and the new start of history.
Origination of the “Origination Day” means giving a start to True Family’s three generations (true four-position foundation of family) that are to be the origin of One Family under God—the ideal of mankind’s eternal peace. This is exactly the familial four-position foundation of Rev. Moon’s three-generation domain. It does not mean the families of us believers. It is the day we historically start constructing an ideal nation, at the same time with the unifying of three generations of Rev. Moon’s True Family.
To compress and enclose the fundamental problems of human history within a small space of historical time, and resolve them by representing them as the division of Rev. Moon’s three-generation domains—this is the core and essence of what must be consummated by the “2013.1.13 Origination Day,” also called “D-Day.”
1) We love from the bottom of our heart Rev. Moon as True Parent, and love the Unification Movement proposed by him. 2) We believe it is the Unification Movement itself that should first be unified. 3) We wish from the bottom of our heart that the True Children would fulfill the standards of the Principle and get unified.
We strongly support such a point of view. This is the insistence and proposal of Rev. Moon’s fifth son Kwon Jin Nim, who deeply studied and decoded Father’s words spoken as the Bible of Fulfillment Age. As we strongly support this point of view, we take on ourselves outer and inner missions to help Kwon Jin Nim fulfill his roles and missions.
The coming “2013.1.13 Origination Day” or “Dispensational D-Day” is the day by which final unification of True Family’s three-generation domains is expected. Its core essence is the demand that Father’s direct offspring (legitimate domain) and indirect offspring (illegitimate domain) fulfill the standards of the Principle of creation, and get unified.
Note that it says: 3) We wish from the bottom of our heart that the True Children would fulfill the standards of the Principle and get unified… This must be clearly understood. “True Children” here does not only refer to legitimate (direct) domain; it refers also to illegitimate domain represented by Sung Jin Nim (聖進). This is important.
It means that both lines of offspring created from Father’s seeds must both meet the requirements of the Principle of creation, and together complete One True Family’s three-generation domain.
If this could not be completed in Father’s lifetime, you should remember there would be nothing more mortifying to Father.
It required the whole human history and every sacrifice to come here. It is a responsibility as fate Father never could have avoid, the most sacred of public beneficence. There is nothing to surpass it.
Father is exactly master of the Principle of creation, equivalent with God the creator, master builder of heaven. He walked, for the first time in human history, the road of unimaginable suffering to fulfill the standards required by the Principle of creation.
“Origination Day” or “Dispensational D-Day” is to Father a critical Day to determine whether it is possible or not to give a start to building God’s Kingdom on earth.
Will you allow me to repeat what I explained at the beginning of this letter?
The reason why Father caused a decisive division of the legitimate domain—“the 3rd son VS the 4th/7th sons”—at this juncture, and made it open to the public was, in fact, because Hyo Jin Nim, the oldest son representing the legitimate domain, failed to fulfill his responsibility.
And the most important task imposed on Hyo Jin Nim was to get unified with the children of the illegitimate domain (several people represented by Sung Jin Nim).
Unification of illegitimate domain and legitimate domain—this is the final Abel-Cain left to True Family, the most crucial of all Abel-Cain.
That is to say, the Abel-Cain division of the legitimate domain, “the 3rd son VS the 4th/7th sons,” is the indemnity-restoration dispensation to undo the failure of Hyo Jin Nim.
The present Abel-Cain of the legitimate domain, “the 3rd son VS the 4th/7th sons” parallels the Abel-Cain of the “illegitimate domain VS legitimate domain.”
For Father, it would have been unnecessary to cause this strife, if the oldest son Hyo Jin Nim had fulfilled his responsibility.
The purpose of whatever Father deliberately does is reproducing something and then letting us liquidate it. Undoubtedly, it is for indemnity-restoration. Father is through and through a person of True Love and the Principle.
Father provisionally posted the 4th son and the 7th son at the center of dispensation, and deliberately made a wicked man of the 3rd son Hyun Jin Nim, and attacked him. This is the work of Father deliberately done for restoration.
This is to indemnify and restore the position of Brother Hyo Jin, who died without performing his role as the oldest son of legitimate domain.
Dear Friends! Please do understand God and Father’s historical wish focused on the 3rd son Hyun Jin Nim.
And also understand my wish, my imploring for your attention to my earnest proposal.
My role, Kwon Jin’s role, is to explain this historical division and expected unification of my brothers on behalf of Father, and to act as harmonizer of the legitimate domain to effect unity around the 3rd son. I am harmonizer of the legitimate domain. The typical harmonizer is Elijah or John the Baptist, so I am John the Baptist of the legitimate domain, as it were.
On the other hand, the 3rd son Hyun Jin Nim bears the role of unifying illegitimate domain and legitimate domain. Also he bears the role of a total harmonizer who is responsible for unifying Church and the secular world. Indeed, he is a real harmonizer of the modern world, the Baptist of Baptists.
And finally, my dear friends, you are leaders of “Cheon Il Guk” (天一国) people, whose role is to lead these two Baptists to victory.
Dear Friends!
In our history there has never been a single instance of God’s kingdom born of Church unifying with Race, Religion unifying with State to fulfill the standards of the Principle of creation.
“2013.1.13.” Origination Day. Dispensational D-Day.
This day is to be the day we have long dreamt of—the possible starting point toward the construction of the Kingdom of God.
This, too, I have explained at the beginning of this third letter.
I think this way:
The instant True Children of True Family become one, construction of Heaven may start.
Washington and Moscow, China and Moscow, …earthly heaven and earthly hell must become one… materialism and idealism must become one…Buddhism and Christianity…
I don’t think these will become one by 2013.1.13. At the present state of affairs, it is unrealistic. International circumstances now forbid such a supposition.
But we True Children can become one. So, if our becoming one and unifying True Family’s three generations can originate God’s Kingdom, it is highly probable that these pairs will become one within this time limit!?
Now, what is historical Abel-Cain? Abel-Cain is capable of liquidating all history? Abel-Cain is key to everything? Then, why do Abel and Cain fight and kill each other? The answer to this question is: Because we have been unable to reach the heart and situation of God (and Father).
The following are some instances of Father’s words where the real truth of Abel-Cain problem, not known through Divine Principle alone, is revealed to us.
In reading these, you find such phrases or sentences as “real reason for Abel’s failure,” “I dislike both immature Abel and immature Cain,” “Why was God obliged to take Abel’s offerings first.” If you read them carefully, you will find “the Principle of Divine Principle” and “the real Principle” are mixed, and told as usual rather ambiguously.
Here I won’t try exposition. But I think both the current True Family’s Abel-Cain and your everyday Abel-Cain are relevant to this speech.
Please read carefully, word by word, and as if you were a detective:
The Way of the Pastor, II “Cain and Abel” p.836.
1. Abel-Cain as it Appeared in the History of Dispensation
When Abel and Cain made offerings to God, it seems that the God who received Abel’s offering and the God who did not receive Cain’s offering were different in position. But you must know that is not the case. If Cain had had the slightest will to concede to Abel who stood in the place of God, God would have taken his offering. God was ready to face them fairly even if differently in time. (3:205)
If Cain had had no interest in making offerings to God, he would have been indifferent to whether God received Abel’s offering or not. But he had a resentful feeling, because he thought he was behind his brother in devotedness to God. Cain had been thinking that he was rather superior to his brother in devotedness, and never inferior. Isn’t such commonly the case? Even when you are in the same position and make much the same offering, you would want God to take your own offering first.
If Abel was in a position to be received first quite naturally, Cain would not complain. For why would you complain if you know he was your superior, not your equal? But if you think you are equal in position and have equal devotional hearts, and yet you were rejected, will you not complain? Therefore you have to be superior in devotion. You have to make your offering in greater love and worshipfulness.
Viewed from Abel’s point of view, both Abel and Cain showed the same worshipfulness. But because Abel was on the side of God from the beginning, God received him first. So, when he saw it, he should have been merely thankful, and modest in his behavior. Then, would Cain try to kill him? Yet, when Abel saw only his offering was received, he was excessively pleased—so much so that Cain was left in a state of extreme resentment. However he was happy, Abel should have been happy secretly. But he boasted himself to his brother. Everybody is inclined to do that. But he was so extremely happy that probably he said, “God received only my offering. He did not receive yours. So though I am younger, I am your superior.” Then Cain grew red with anger and thought of revenge. The story can be interpreted in that way.
Abel should not have boasted himself because he was loved by God. The more he knew he was loved, the more modestly he should have behaved, aware of his shortcomings, showing how he was sorry for his brother. Would Cain beat him to death, then? Surely never. This was the failure of Abel. (34:51)
Which do you like more, Abel or Cain? (“Abel.”) I dislike both Cain and Abel. Why? Even if God received only his offering, and not his brother’s, Abel should have respected his elder brother and behaved sincerely to him. He should have been considerate of his brother. If he had complained to God and said in tears, “Father, why did you receive only my offering?” how do you think God would have done? Without doubt, God would have felt for Cain and loved him.
Then, Cain and Abel would have prepared their offerings equally and stood equally before God. Cain prepared grain and Abel prepared sheep after a year’s hard work. To show devotion is praiseworthy. Now, irrespective of who showed more devotion or whether to receive it or not, God simply was in the position to receive Abel’s offering.
But, seeing God received only his own offering, Abel mistakenly thought he was better, so that God loved him better. And he said boastingly, “Brother, didn’t you see? He took mine.” No doubt, he said something like that. Otherwise, would Cain have grown red in the face? Would he get angry, if Abel was silent? No doubt, Abel got into deception that he was superior and showed it. Abel is a failure for being haughty when he should be modest. He certainly deserves to be killed.
Believers of Unification Church have to become Abel, don’t they? (“Yes.”) Then, have you become Abel? Whether or not you have become Abel, you deserve Abel’s fate, if you go about saying “Ministers of conventional churches? What do they know about the Fall? Do they really think they ate fruits? Even ministers don’t know….” If you behave like that, Unification Church gets in troubles. Did you do it, or not? Father said “Don’t do it,” but you went outdoors and walked about doing it. (34:272)
After Cain and Abel made offering, Cain, knowing only Abel’s offering was received, hated Abel and beat him to death. But you must remember that Cain had a hateful mind toward Abel, even before they prepared offerings. He did not kill Abel on the spur of the moment because God did not take his offering. There had been a hateful, murderous mind on the side of Cain.
Then, you today, who have inherited the nature of depravity—what do you have to do, in order to go through the pass of universal hardships? From now on, instead of building an altar that causes disbelief and strife, you have to build the altar of the victorious Abel that conveys Father’s glory to the world and lets Father embrace delight and glory.
Therefore, your lives today are not restricted to you alone. You assume others’ lives. The time each of you spends sitting before me, the life each of you lives centering on God’s will, do not stay any more as that same time and life. From this moment the crucial divergent way appears that determines whether you go Cain’s way or Abel’s way. That is to say, you today may perchance become Abel, or perchance Cain. You are confrontng such a gaspingly crucial historical moment.
That explained, you should already be able to know who is Abel and who is Cain—know one from the other in Church or around you. If there are two people, one is sure to be Abel and the other Cain. If three people, two of them can be either Abel or Cain, but you must know there are a central Abel and a central Cain. You have to be able to distinguish them.
And remember, those Cain and Abel must not be separate, they must be together. One is right hand and the other left hand. So that each of you has to make the utmost effort to look for an Abel and shun being a Cain, on the assumption that each of you is each other’s God and that God loves each of you. You must know clearly that, if you do not become such people, you will someday be caught by the net of heaven’s judgment.
I have been too long quoting.
Now, in conclusion of my first, second, and this third letter, I will refer to the expected development of “1.13 Project”.
First of all, we will be asking for Signatures of Supporters of “1.13 Charter” through “1.13 Project Office”.
It will start after May 5, 2011, at the earliest, any indefinite day as soon as preparations are made. Formal announcement will be made by Kamiyama of the Office.
As I have noted many times, the Supporter may be any person. He/She may belong to any group or “sect”, or not belong to any at all. Such things as position, belonging, and offering are all irrelevant.
The only requirement is to be a person who “loves Father and wants to build ideal heaven,” “wants to be a foundation of God’s Kingdom,” and “wants not to enter heaven but to build heaven.”
Accordingly, those who are too strongly conscious of “sect” or faction such as “3rd son side,” “4th/7th son (Church organization) side,” or “my (Kwon Jin) side” are not welcome. Heaven is supra-denominational and supra-religious.
I think this way:
Judaism and Christianity are contained in the Unification Movement that was formed by Father and has been carried on through his lifetime. Strictly speaking, Islam, Buddhism, and Hinduism should be contained in it, too.
Each one of us Unification Church members should be regarded as one religious sect, one denomination. All seem to be believers of one doctrine, but everyone is subtly different from each other in his views of God, sin, and the Messiah.
Each shikku of Unification Church may as well be one religion, one denomination.
The inner essence of Unification Church is reproduced history, particularly Biblical history horizontally unfolded in one lifetime.
Since Unification Church has not yet got out of Archangel-religious = Bride-religious domain, we should consider that each of us in Unification Church must solve this problem on behalf of past religious people who appear in Biblical history.
Now is the time when all shikku members rise bravely and transcend the religious domain.
Outgrowing religion! This exactly is what is meant by “liquidation” of Biblical history. This should be the noblest, most sacred modern task imposed on us which is to be accomplished by knowing and gripping God and Father’s heart and situation.
To borrow the expression in Father’s words, “We should perform the Seun Hwa Ceremony ( funeral) of the first, second, and third Israel!” When he said it, Father said a very strange thing: “Funeral is not something to perform after death! It is to be performed while living!” No doubt, he refers to something other common funerals.
“We should perform the funeral (seunghwashik, 昇華式) of the first Israel, second Israel, and third Israel!” It certainly means the liquidation of Biblical history.
I am really sorry to cite the same words again and again. But this is our last appeal to you. Please read them once again.
I recommend them to you, because here you find the significance and value of asking for Signatures of Supporters of “1.13 Charter” and the explanation of our situation. We realize and feel these words to the marrow of our bones.
Be it so to you, too, I pray!
Unification Church, p.9, 1963/5/22, at the former headquarters in Seoul, Korea
People who are most difficult to convince are believers, religious people who believe in dispensation and the like.
KBS Netnews, 2008/1, No.25, “Day of Victory of Love”)
Today, we have come to the important time when Unification Church members have to consider how to get out of the bounds of religious domain, and divest ourselves of the old habitual trappings. Either what we are talking about are facts, or we are speaking mysterious words. If they are facts, have you come to be able to see as Adam and Eve saw before their Fall, and guess what their world was like?
Considering the history of indemnity-restoration since the Fall of Adam and Eve to this day, have you ever thought about how important your responsibility was? The present place you inhabit is not at all like the original flowery world created by God. We live in a place eternally separated from that unimaginably free and peaceful, ideal domain. We never can be proud of ourselves before Heaven. At our world securely bound up with the fallen lineage, and considering how it can be possible to undo it, we are miserably forlorn to the point of despair.
Family, 2003/3, p.14, “God’s True Love and Repairing Heaven-Earth-Man Relationship”
In our long history there never was one person who made the sacred truth clear that man has to graduate from religious life. Because I got to know God’s will at an early stage of my life, I never thought of founding a religion or a religious sect. Because Christianity, the central religion by God’s dispensation, did not receive the Heaven’s Way which is my teaching, I was obliged to found an organization for the first time, called “Holy Spirit Association for the Unification of World Christianity.”
… Since people called us by the name “Unification Church,” instead of the long formal appellation, we took it for our name. But I have been looking forward to seeing our signboard taken down, and I have been foretelling it will be done. In 1996 we took down our church signboard and put up another one: “Family Federation for World Peace and Unification.”
Signatures of Supporters of “1.13 Charter” Anyone can be the Supporter so long as he/she has read “1.13 Charter” and “1.13 blog” very well and agree with their purport.
This is the first historical step for you to get out of religious domain! Please come out of all boundaries of all religious sects, and participate in our program. As you know already, the required number of supporters (signatures) is 7000. We do not adopt family unit. Signature must be on the individual basis.
In case all members of your family support, each of them must sign. There is no age limit, but in case of the person under 12, an adult relative must co-sign. For signature we are preparing a specified form. We are also going to use a “web form”.
We will either use “real form” as a form to fill in, or “web form” on the Internet.
Dear Friends! What is Signatures of Supporters of “1.13 Charter” which are going to be collected through “1.13 Project Office”? What really is going to be pushed by acquiring the targeted number of supporters? To make assurance doubly sure, please read the following again:
The coming “2013.1.13 Origination Day,” also called “Dispensational D-Day,” is the target day by which “unification of True Family’s three-generation domain” must be achieved, and its very final target is that the offspring of both legitimate domain and illegitimate domain fulfill the standards of the Principle of creation and get unified.
The premise for its realization is that the 3rd son and the 4th/7th sons of the legitimate domain are unified, and most important is that unification should be achieved around the 3rd son Hyun Jin Nim.
Signatures of Supporters of “1.13 Charter” have their significance and value in prompting and encouraging Hyun Jin Nim to play the role of John the Baptist to become one with the offspring of the illegitimate domain, after he has gone through tribulations to restore the position of Hyo Jin Nim, the former oldest son of the legitimate domain.
I believe.
In the near future, I am sure there will be dispensation arranged by Father to retrieve the 3rd son Hyun Jin Nim.
Maybe, by the time you have read the whole of my letters, there will be some such signs and rumors spread around you.
To my thinking, within this year, or at the latest by April 2012, the 3rd son Hyun Jin Nim should have retrieved the oldest son’s position of the legitimate domain. I daresay this is almost unmistakable.
But there is a problem.
It is no use and meaningless if Brother Hyun Jin simply returns to the center of dispensation.
By the time he returns, Brother Hyun Jin must be aware of all about the necessity of unifying with the children of the illegitimate domain. For, the purpose of his return is to undertake the work Hyo Jin Nim could not undertake.
Which means that a great responsibility is placed on those brothers and sisters who now are close to the 3rd son Hyun Jin Nim.
So, let me use this opportunity to say to those brothers and sisters who are close to Hyun Jin Nim supporting him:
Please do not blindly follow him, merely saying “We love Hyun Jin Nim. Hyun Jin Nim is wonderful.” If you really love Brother Hyun Jin, please do understand his most inner mission and support him, in the real sense of the word, so that Brother Hyun Jin may fulfill his mission.
Before anyone else, I would like to ask those close to Brother Hyun Jin to understand the “1.13 Charter” and to become Bun Bong Wang who transcend their own positions to realize unification.
What does Bun Bong Wang (分捧王) mean?
Father’s Words at the dinner party for the second anniversary of the dedication of Cheon Jeong Gun (天正宮) Museum, Cheon Il Guk 8 (2008)/6/13
Cheon Il Guk (天一国) is a country where the three generations, True Grandparents, True Parents, True Grandchildren, live together forming one family and waiting on eternal God. The character ‘Cheon’ (天) of Cheon Il Guk is the combination of ‘two’ (二) and ‘man’ (人). So, Cheon Il Guk means “country built by two people becoming one.” Unless mind and body become one, you cannot be habitants of heaven. Unless man and woman become one, you cannot be habitants of heaven. Unless father and sons and daughters become one, you cannot be habitants of heaven. Unless clan and race become one, king and subjects become one, God and universe become one, all are lost, destroyed. That is the point. Noble, sacred story. You must know that to establish such a family is the responsibility of the clan Messiah, the mission of Peace Ambassador and Bun Bong Wang, and the wish of God.
You know what Bun Bong Wang is, don’t you, Mr. Yang? (“Yes.”) Do you know? (“Yes.”) You need no more explanation. (“No.”) This time, I ordained new regions. Those who are called to the position must know what it is. Bun Bong Wang. Bun Bong Wang unites two people into one. He seals up. Isn’t that Bun (分, separate) and Bong (封=捧 same pronunciation, seal up)? You seal up what is separated. Such a trick is impossible for man, even for king, in this universe. If there is God (Father), it is possible for God (Father). So this word Bun Bong Wang came from God (Father). They have such a mission, so they can teach people God’s (Father’) wish. The fact that such a textbook appeared must be the foundation for you to absolutely rely on God (Father). You understand?
To make it easier to understand, I put (Father) after the word ‘God.’ In Father’s words there are many cases where by putting (Father) after the word ‘God’ the tenor comes to be understandable.
Try to apply Father’s commentary on Bun Bong Wang to the view that, as the foundation of heaven, “True Family’s three-generation domain must not be separated,” the unification of True Family’s three-generation domain now being set at the peak of dispensation.
On the one hand, there is the big, big Abel-Cain division in the form of illegitimate-legitimate division which Father intended to be at variance, and on the other hand, there is the “3rd son VS 4th/7th sons” to parallel illegitimate-legitimate division, all arranged by Father, and designed to be solved of their own free will.
If left alone, it is possible that hate and resentment will multiply and develop into bloody racial conflicts.
But, what if we know the mind of Father who deliberately divided and set them at variance, and can “seal up” the division of the two who are to fight with historical background, and unify them and return them all to God?
For this purpose Father provided Bun Bong Wang.
Why were Bun Bong Wang -title holders set both inside and outside of Church?
Father posted as Bun Bong Wang Dr. Kwak, Mr. Oyamada, and Dr. Joo, in Korea, Japan, and America, respectively. While Father is doing it outwardly for dispensation, he has an inner wish they would become Bun Bong Wang for True Family’s three-generation domain.
Father’s words are always spoken ambiguously. We must always be wary of double-meaning words. The above speech at the memorial dinner party is a good example.
The whole speech is hard to grasp and worries you. Because he speaks mixing topics of real and spiritual worlds, it is hard to grasp what Bun Bong Wang means.
Even those who were ordained to the post don’t know it very well.
However, to me it is clear that he is referring by the title Bun Bong Wang to the real John the Baptist who can harmonize and unify the real Abel and the real Cain, and who really exists for the sake of the unification of True Family’s three-generation domain.
I myself am a Bun Bong Wang for the 3rd son, 4th son, and 7th son. But the 3rd son Hyun Jin-Nim is a far, far greater Bun Bong Wang who is responsible for unifying legitimate and illegitimate domains, and unifying church and race. He is king of kings of Bun Bong Wang.
And, if you participate in the movement of Signatures of Supporters of “1.13 Charter” and offer to persuade many other shikku members to join it, you are Bun Bong Wang “sealing up” me, Kwon Jin, and many thoughtful shikku members of Japan.
Bun Bong Wang is the title of harmonizer (arbiter) who should unify Abel and Cain, right and left. It can be interpreted to mean the position of people who try to stand closer to God and Father.
If you try to stand in such a position, you are sure to be hated from both sides, and yet you must listen to both parties and love them. And you never can assert yourself till they are unified. Isn’t is like True Mother who goes between fighting brothers, explains Father’s situation, justifies Father, and tries to embrace them both and bring them to Father?
It certainly is. Harmonizer is the position of Elijah, John the Baptist, Bun Bong Wang, the restored Eve, and True Mother.
John the Baptist is the reciprocal domain to Jesus. He can be said to be in the position of Jesus’s Bride. John the Baptist is the top of Archangel-religious domain, and the top of Bride domain. John the Baptist is figuratively expressed as Eve as the ideal spouse (reciprocal domain) of Adam. Can you believe that Father likens the restored Archangel to True Mother? When he says he came looking for True Eve, he doesn’t mean female Eve alone. You must know that, besides Eve as a female, the Baptist who reached the realm of perfection is also Eve, the restored Eve.
Always you have to be alert to double meanings and find the true intent.
Dear Friends! You who are committed to Unification Movement now have to raise it to True Unification Movement. It can be expressed as True Mother’s Movement. This is not time you waver between Abel and Cain. You should stand in the position of True Mother, that is, True Eve who is the perfect spouse (reciprocal domain) of God and Father.
Dear Friends! We are going to confront the last, most effective, most realistic, most valuable dispensation toward the “2013.1.13 Origination Day,” “Day of Unification of True Family’s Three-Generation Domain,” “Dispensational D-Day.” This is the very last. Father once even said, “Dispensation after Origination Day is a blank page.” Can you believe it?
Thank God, this dispensation costs nothing!
Except signature for support, nothing basically. In this “1.13 Project” there is not anything like conventional offering such as dispensational offering or indemnity offering.
Besides, privacy is securely protected at the Office. Registered information shall never be used for any other purpose. We do not ask where you go to church, or when you received the Blessing. For such things are irrelevant.
The time these signatures reach 7000 in number, is the time the condition is fulfilled from the viewpoint of the Principle that the third son Hyun Jin Nim will understand everything. At the same time, that means the historical time when True Family’s three-generation domain can be unified.
Dear Friends! Please call to shikku members around you with confidence. This signature movement is a historical Unification Movement within the Church—Unification Movement in its real sense. There is no discrimination for or against the organization, any sect, any faction.
Please consider well. There is no harm at all caused from this Signature Movement. It is for the good in every respect. No harm—for instance, no special offering.
It’s not come from your Abel-figure! The organization hasn’t recognized it! No public recognition of Father! …If such a cliché comes out, how nice it is! You should consider this is a good chance to liquidate everything you could not liquidate. Explain it so to others.
Would it not be serious and ridiculous, if Father’s legitimate and illegitimate side people, and the 3rd son, 4th son, and 7th son were not unified by “2013.1.13 Origination Day,” “Day of Unification of True Family’s Three-Generation Domain,” “Dispensational D-Day”?
In whatever position you are, whatever you are doing, what is important is your pure wish that Father’s Family’s three generations would be one. On my behalf, please explain to others earnestly again and again till they are convinced!
I have been explaining too long. I hope I have conveyed to you the minimum of what I have to.
From now on, there will be various information from the Office: business level information about signature, explanations of expected direct words of Father and the like. In this regard I leave all responsibility to the staff, especially Mr. Kamiyama.
