Just now I was inspired to hear Mark’s sharing. That is really true. We need to be clear about our identity. If we do not teach about our Divine Principle and True Parents very clearly … We sometimes try to compromise. Then our identity is really unclear. (As a result) our movement’s development will be limited. Let’s make sure to teach clearly. Why did Christianity develop so much despite persecution? They told people without any hesitation, “Jesus is the lord and savior. Without Jesus you cannot receive salvation.” This was very clear. Our movement sometimes goes the diplomatic way and we lose our own identity. 

Today I’d like to talk again about “International Conference on ​the Unity of the Sciences (ICUS)” from True Mother’s Anthology, Book 1.

You must unite with True Parents and become models in front of the world. We must realize the one great big family that Heavenly Parent and True Parents desire. The people in all nations—all 7.3 billion people, are one family. Yet, today, it seems as though there is nothing but incidents that drive people to despair around the world. Many walls exist. There are religious walls, ethnic walls, cultural walls and national borders; religious people even kill one another without hesitation. Moreover, the earth is sick as a result of human wrongdoing. Recently, many earthquakes, tsunamis and other natural disasters have occurred, causing great loss of life. However, all nations—especially the more powerful nations—are thinking only of their own national interests instead of thinking of the whole. Just as it was with many countries in Europe in the past, the United States was raised to establish a foundation for the Returning Messiah. ​

Heaven blessed the United States to make preparations for people to attend the Returning Lord. The United States, however, failed to attend the Returning Messiah and was losing her fundamental values. Who then saved the United States from such a state? True Parents did so. It is unfortunate, however, to see that the United States has not yet realized her potential.​

I am trying to approach and resolve, one by one, stage by stage, all the problems remaining from the past. Internally, I am creating a strong environment for the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification, and I am raising capable leaders for the future from among the second and third generation members. ​

True Mother said: “Internally, I am creating a strong environment for the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification, and I am raising capable leaders for the future from among the second and third generation members” These days, we are studying about the 3 great kingships, but our 2nd and 3rd generations are the grandchildren of the great king(s?) of the North American continent. 

They are princes and princesses of God in North America and the world. 

I plan to make the 2nd and 3rd generations of North America great leaders of restoration on the global stage. I am dreaming of and praying for a global missionary project of sending 120 people to 200 countries around the world, totaling 36,000 missionaries. 

Dreams come true. If our dreams are for the will of God and for the world, then God, True Parents, and the good spirit world will surely work together. 

I have no doubt that in the near future, North America will become the center of the world providence and will make unimaginable contributions, more than anyone else. We ask for your prayers and jeongseong. 

I will do so in the name of God and True Parents, not my name. In the name of God and True Parents we really need to raise our young generation and fully take ownership. Many people speak of second generation and third generation problems, our future generation problems. I know the problems, but we really (need to) make unity and invest our heart and go back to the founding spirit our True Parents established from the beginning. Everyone has potential. As long as we have a clear goal and vision centered on True Parents uniting with True Mother, we can do it; we can make it! We need to raise our young generation. 

Let’s really bring 3 spiritual children centered on the younger generation. Let them really take ownership. Finally they can multiply by themselves and our young members will grow and grow (becoming) more than 30,000 people and go all over the world and serve the world. Then North America can become the center of the world and can lead the world. This is God’s plan. This is one of True Mother’s greatest wishes for North America.

Young people are leading the way in carrying out God's Will and in becoming one with True Parents through university campus activities; they are changing the actual environment in such a way that this nation and the world will take notice. On top of that, in order to embrace the world, Father brought together scientists, intellectuals and professors, and set before them the responsibility and task of bringing about world peace. However, many programs conducted back then have ended. I will newly convene scientists for the restoration of nations and the world. (2016.10.o4, Cheon Jeong Gung)​

True Mother once again emphasizes the following through university campus activities. “Young people are leading the way in carrying out God's Will and in becoming one with True Parents through university campus activities; they are changing the actual environment in such a way that this nation and the world will take notice.” 

We need to set up CARP chapters in 50 states and ignite the university movement again. As the 1st and 2nd generations become one and achieve mother-son cooperation -- not just Japanese Kodan but all Western brothers and sisters as the parents position and (with) mother and son cooperation -- let’s do our best to return to the early days of the American unification movement and become the hope of America and the light of the world. 

Our True Parents have already showed an incredible model. When they came to America, how much they invested! How much they shed blood, sweat and tears! Now is the time to take ownership and inherit our True Parents’ foundation. We are the ones who have to be seriously responsible for that. That is our True Mother’s greatest wish.

Recently we have been talking about the royal family.

LIVING DIVINE PRINCIPLE​: Principle of Creation 28 - Family Perfection is the Completion ​of the 3 Great Kingships (Centered on Dr.Lee, Sang Heon’s Unification Thought)​

(3) Reason the Expression “3 Great Kingships” is Necessary​

1. We can just say grandparents, parents, children, so why do we have to call them kings? It is because the king stands in the most noble position.​

2. Up until now we had the notion of grandparents, parents, and children in our hearts, but that was utterly different from its concept in the original world of creation.​

3. Up to this day, while studying the principle, we have known the value of the family and parents, couples, and children but the parent, couple, children in God’s eyes are still very different from what we have know from the principle.​

4. Through True Father’s words on the 4 great realms of heart and 3 great kingships, we have come to know the true worth of grandparents, parents, and children in the original world of creation for the first time.​

5. The words king or prince signify the greatest value. All human beings are an existence of greatest value, just like a king.​

6. Even if we say we heard the principle we have not realized the preciousness of human beings. We can compare this value with a crown prince wearing rags and living in scrutiny among the lowest class of people.​

Our True Parents often talk about the three major principles or thoughts.The first is that God is the parent of all humankind. God is the True Parent. Secondly, God is the great teacher. Third, God is the owner, the king of kings.

In terms of the heart, we call God our heavenly parent. In terms of ruling and law and external authority, we say He is the king of kings. 

Today we are talking about the 3 great kingships. We need to understand, centering on heart, He is our true parent, and centering on rules and external authority and power, we say he is our king and owner.

7. Let’s say there is an unfortunate prince living in hiding in the boondocks, wearing rags and having lost the throne through a rebellion.​

8. When the old men of the village find out this fact and say, ‘How did this happen to the precious crown prince. We have committed heinous crimes by not grasping who you are and serving you. Forgive our disloyalty!’ and then with all their heart serve him in the most comfortable and highest position, that effort, serving, high position and respect which was displayed towards the prince is the precious value of human beings. In fact, human value is even greater than that.​

9. It is the same with parents. It is the same with grandparents. It is not the concept of grandparents, parents, and children which you have known up until now.​

10. It is an extremely precious concept of grandparents, parents, and children. In order to express such preciousness and dignity, the concept ‘king’ must be used.​

11. On the earth, is not the position or status of king the highest? Therefore in the ideal world all humans are this precious and there the grandparents, parents, and children exist, thus the expression of 3 great kingships is used.​

When I heard Dr. Sang Heon Lee’s explanation based on Father’s word, Wow! How precious each human being is! God is the king of the universe. Who am I? I am the son of God, the prince and princess of God? What value is greater than this? It is really incredible. Can you imagine the value of humans?

12. Consequently, just because they are children doesn’t mean parents can treat their children carelessly. You must treat them like a king treats a prince. ​

13. If a king in the secular world installs his son as the crown prince, then no matter how young he is, his words cannot be treated carelessly. Even if he is not suited for it, people listen courteously. ​

14. Likewise, in the future, you cannot recklessly ignore your children. And it is a matter of course that children must serve their parents as a king, grandparents as a greater king, as the mother of the king.​

Do you treat your grandparents as king and queen? How about your spouse? Do you really treat her as your king or queen? Do you really treat your own children as princes and princesses of God? What do you think? We really need to reflect about ourselves because we do not know our own value, nor that of our children. We treat them humanistically in a very horizontal way. When Heavenly Father sees this attitude, how sorrowful his heart is because of the fall!

The Place Where ​The 3 Great Kingships Bear Fruit​

The family which completes the 4 great realms of heart and 3 great kingships is an ideal family. The place where the 3 great kingships bears fruit is our ideal family.(239-185)​

Even God was only able to love one generation, but He actually needs to experience loving grandchildren, that is, the second generation. 3 generations are one category. This is why we have to attend our grandparents like we attend God, our parents like the king and queen of the world, and the grandchildren like they are the kings and queens of the heavenly kingdom of heaven and earth that will come in the future. The kingdom of heaven in heaven and heaven on earth begins here. (266-147, 1994.12.22)​

In the kingdom of heaven 3 generations are one category. We cannot separate them. In other words, they are one set of 3. Three generations are one set, one category. In the formation stage 3 generations should form one category centered on God. In the growth stage, 3 generations should form one category centered on True Parents. And in Completion stage 3 generations should form one category centered on your couple. Heaven is a completely high-standard place. So, unless perfect conditions are met, you can never enter because the kingdom of heaven is the world of perfection. It does not allow even small mistakes. We need to have 100%, (even) 120%, perfect conditions. Otherwise God’s Kingdom of heaven is not a perfect world. (There are) no exceptions. Since 3 generations centered on one family are one category and set, blessed families who cannot fully create this will have to wait in the waiting room without exception. It does not matter how much you contributed. Even Jesus (who) came 2,000 ago as God’s only begotten son. Right? He was the messiah and savior. Why couldn’t he enter the kingdom of heaven? Because he did not have enough conditions. He needed to have a spouse. He needed to have children. He needed to have 3 generations and four great realms of heart. Even though he came as the messiah, the conditions were not present and he needed to wait in paradise. This is the heavenly rule. It needs to apply to everyone without exception. That is why you need to seriously think about 3 generations as one category and one set of 3. 

Not just centering on God, on True Parents, but on your couple. You need to have 3 generations, one set, one category. It cannot be divided. 

What should I do? This is God’s principle and structure. That is why you need to think that three generations are always one set, one category. It is incredible Divine Principle.

American Families Seen Through The 3 Great Kingships​

<266-147, 1994.12.22> What is the most miserable thing about American families these days? The worst thing is that grandparents cannot meet their own grandchildren. All grandparents start out as babies and finally become grandparents, and naturally return to being a baby. Who are their baby friends? It is their grandchildren. Once we grow old, we start to become senile, don’t we? Once we get senile, we become like babies. Once we become senile, we even lose the ability to speak, isn’t that true? Once I have become a grandfather, I find my grandchildren even more lovable than my own children. The people I long for the most are not my children, but my grandchildren. That’s how it is. From this point of view, old people in America are really to be pitied.​

How can we create this culture of 3 great kingships, of 3 generations living together? … In Korea it may even be worse (now). How can we create this kind of culture of 3 generations living together? If not living together, how can they get along together, closer and closer to each other?

The grandparents’ position is so important! Yesterday I emphasized this. 

What is the Position of Grandparents in the Family?​

Grandparents are the direct representatives of God. If the grandparents are not present in the family, it is as if God is absent in the family.​ 

Even if you are happy, if husband and wife and children have good give and take, if grandparents are absent, then God is absent in the family.

1. Grandparents are ambassadors of love in the family, sent directly by God.​

2. Grandparents are ambassadors of freedom in that family, sent directly by God. ​

Where there are grandparents in the family, you can truly feel the freedom. Wow! So happy! You can express everything.

3. Grandparents are the ambassadors of peace in the family, sent directly by God.​

If everybody attends grandparents very well, you can feel true peace in your family because grandparents are in the position of God.

4. Grandparents are ambassadors of unity in the family, sent directly by God.​

As long as grandparents are present, the husband and wife cannot fight with each other. They need to attend the grandparents. Grandchildren automatically follow and attend their grandparents. You can then feel beautiful unity and harmony in your family. 

5. Grandparents are the ambassadors of happiness in the family, sent directly by God.​

As long as your couple serves grandparents with filial piety, and grandchildren automatically relate to grandparents, you can feel this is really true happiness.

I had the experience of 4 generations living in my family. Even though there are many things we need to settle, I am telling you this is really incredible happiness, unity, peace, freedom and love. 

So, we are still very far from our reality (vision?), but we need to pray about it. Even though we cannot get along, we need to visit our grandchildren very often, and grandchildren need to come to grandparents very often. 

Alexa Ward goes to her grandchild’s home very often. Beautiful unity!

TODAY’S YOUTH MINISTRY​: Relating with Your Abel figure​

I already gave some of this content to our leadership figures two or three weeks ago. But this content is really important, so I would like to speak in a little more detail. 

Today I'm going to talk with you on the title “Relating with your Abel figure.” 

What I am going to tell you from now on about relating to your Abel figure is from the perspective of the Bible, the Divine Principle, and True Father’s words. In particular, the content about Cain and Abel is a 100% summary of True Father's words.

I found this content from True Parents’ 600 volumes.

Today and tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I would like to focus on 10 things about Cain and Abel. 

Cain and Abel​

Here are 10 things about Cain and Abel​

1. The incident of Cain and Abel in the Bible​

2. The Providence of Restoration of Cain and Abel seen from the process of the Fall ​

3. When God only accepted Abel’s offering first, what was the state of Cain's heart?​

4. When God took Abel’s offering before Cain’s what kind of attitude should Abel have had? ​

5. Why did Cain murder Abel?​

6. What is the position of Cain and Abel as seen in Principle?​

7. What must I do to become Abel?​

8. How are Cain and Abel’s positions decided?​

9. Who is Abel and who is Cain? ​

10. What is Abel's mission? ​

1. The Incident Between Cain and Abel ​in the Bible (Genesis 4:1-8)​

a. Adam made love to his wife Eve, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Cain. She said, “With the help of the Lord I have brought forth a man.”​

b. Later she gave birth to his brother Abel. Now Abel kept flocks, and Cain worked the soil.​

c. In the course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering to the Lord.​

d. And Abel also brought an offering—fat portions fromsome of the firstborn of his flock. The Lord looked with favor on Abel and his offering,​

​e. but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor. So Cain was very angry, and his face was downcast.​

f. Then the Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast?​

g. If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it.”​

h. Now Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let’s go out to the field.” While they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him.​

2. The Providence of the Restoration of Cain and Abel Seen From the Process of the Fall

Let’s study from the EDP first.

Foundation of Substance 

• Had Cain fulfilled the indemnity condition to remove the fallen nature, God would have gladly accepted his sacrifice. The foundation of substance would then have been laid in Adam's family. 

• To remove the fallen nature, a person must make an indemnity condition by taking a course which reverses the process through which human beings initially acquired the fallen nature.

1. The Archangel fell because he did not love Adam; rather, he envied Adam, who was receiving more love from God than he. This caused the first primary characteristic of the fallen nature: failing to take God's standpoint. 

2. The Archangel fell because he did not respect Adam as God's mediator and receive God's love through him; rather, he attempted to seize Adam's position. This caused the second primary characteristic of the fallen nature: leaving one's proper position.

3. The Archangel claimed dominion over Eve and Adam, who were his rightful lords. This caused the third primary characteristic of the fallen nature: reversing dominion.

4. The Archangel conveyed to Adam and Eve his evil will. This caused the fourth primary characteristic of the fallen nature: multiplying evil.

• To remove these characteristics of the fallen nature,

1. First, Cain, who stood in the Archangel's position, should have taken God's standpoint by loving Abel, who stood in Adam's position. 

2. Second, Cain should have received God's love through Abel, respecting him as God's mediator.

3. Third, Cain should have obediently submitted to Abel, accepting Abel's dominion.

4. Fourth, Cain should have learned God's Will from Abel, multiplying goodness.

 • For example, the religious way of life requires that we make our body submit to the commands of our higher mind, just as Cain should have submitted to Abel and followed him. 

 • Since we fell to the position of being "deceitful above all things," (Jer. 17:9) the things of creation stand in the position of Abel. Hence, through offering them, we can go before God.

• Furthermore, the universal tendency to seek out good leaders and righteous friends stems from our innermost desire to come before God through an Abel figure who is closer to God. By uniting with him, we can come closer to God ourselves.

• Jesus came to this world as the Abel figure to whom all of humanity should have submitted and followed. For this reason, he said, "no one comes to the Father, but by me."

Just now we studied the relationship between Cain and Abel from the viewpoint of the Divine Principle. Now I would like to look at it based on Father’s word 100%.

3. When God Only Accepted Abel’s Offering First,​ What was the State of Cain's Heart?​

According to Father:

① Cain thought that his devotion was better than that of Abel. ​

② He wanted God to accept his offering first.​

③ When God took Abel's offering first, Cain's heart was very sad.​

He felt a lack of love. Cain's character always thinks that he is better than others.“I am better than anyone else. I am better than you.” Cain always easily feels a sense of loss in love and becomes jealous and always complains first. That is Cain’s character.

We need to reflect: if I complain often, I am closer to Cain. If I try to digest and understand and hear with more patience, then your character is closer to Abel’s side. Do you easily feel a lack of love or not? Do I easily complain or not? We really need to think about this.

4. When God Took Abel’s Offering Before ​Cain’s What Kind of Attitude Should Abel Have Had? ​

I learned something very important. I really appreciate Father sharing this, a clear understanding.

a. Abel had to be meek and humble when God accepted his offering. He should have never been arrogant.​

b. Abel should not have boasted to his older brother Cain that he was happy because he had received God’s grace first.​

c. When Abel received God’s grace, he should have realized his shortcomings and said, “I'm sorry, my brother Cain. I am truly, truly sorry.”​

“How come God accepted my offering first? God is supposed to receive your (offering) first. I am truly sorry, my brother Cain.”

d. Abel had to think of his brother, who was upset because God only accepted his own offering and did not accept his brother Cain's. ​

e. If Abel had cried, “Oh God, why did you only accept my sacrifice?” and said to God, “I do not like God who received only my sacrifice,” God would have had no choice but to love Cain.​

If Abel had had that kind of heart and mind and truly comforted his brother, Cain -- “Heavenly Father, please do not accept my offering. If you accept my older brother, Cain’s, offering, then that is fine, Heavenly Father. He is my older brother” -- Father said if Abel had had that kind of heart, he would have accomplished the foundation of substance already. 

But Abel was very arrogant and said to Cain, “You see, Heavenly God received my offering. He did not receive your offering. What is wrong?” He made Cain so upset! We can see … Cain’s problem. Why did Cain kill Abel? Because Abel had that kind of condition already. How could they have created a condition of unity between them? Father said Abel’s attitude should be: “Oh God. Why did you only accept my sacrifice. Look at my older brother. Please accept (our offering) together. Please accept his offering first.” Then surely Abel’s heart would have moved his older brother’s Cain’s heart. Then Cain (would have) said, “Wow, you are better than me.”

(That would have) automatically made unity. Then (there would have been) no need to wait another 1600 years for Noah. The problem here is really a problem of evil. Since Adam and Eve fell, they fought with each other as husband and wife. It was serious fighting, “because of you…” blaming each other, accusing each other. What was the outcome? Why did Cain and Abel struggle so much? This result came from where? …

In Adam’s family, both Cain and Abel failed because they were both proud, very arrogant. They had no feelings for each other at all. 

When I am loved, I should always think and take care of the person who is not loved. We need to think about that. ​

When True Mother and True Father gave us neckties and gifts, I felt so bad because other leaders did not receive it. I felt so sorry for my brothers and sisters. That is why when I am loved by my True Parents, by my own parents, or by my Abel, I should always think to take care of the person who is not loved. If we have that kind of heart, truly a brotherly sibling's heart, we can create beautiful unity.

5. Why did Cain Murder Abel?​

a. When God accepted Abel's offering, Abel was overjoyed to the point of making Cain envious.​

b. Abel was overjoyed and boasted to his brother Cain. In a word, Abel provoked Cain so that Cain had no choice but to be angry. ​

Already Cain was very upset. God had no choice because of the Principled condition. God loved both of them, but because of the restoration of indemnity, he could only accept Abel’s offering. He could not explain to Cain why he could only accept Abel’s (offering). That was God’s sorrow. He knew Cain would feel a lack of love, but he could not explain (this) to Cain. 

At least Abel needed to have a humble heart and not just be proud of himself, going to Cain, “Hey, older brother, look at that! God accepted my offering, but did not accept yours! What is wrong with you?” Wow! Already Cain felt a lack of love and was so upset. 

c. From the time Cain and Abel prepared to make a sacrifice, Cain hated Abel, according to Father.

Their relationship already was really bad before the offering.

d. Cain didn't kill Abel because he momentarily hated Abel when God didn't accept his sacrifice. They had a bad relationship even before making the sacrifice. Cain hated Abel and wanted to kill him from before. ​

If they had had a normal relationship before the offering, if it were very good, even incredible, then when God accepted Abel’s offering first, Cain (would have) still been patient. “My brother is not like that.” At least he would not have killed Abel. 

Why did Cain kill Abel? It was not all of a sudden. They already had had that kind of process in the past. The relationship was not so good between them. Finally the right time came when they needed to make the offering and Abel created more problems. Then Cain took Abel out and killed him by stoning him. 

6. What is the Position of ​Cain and Abel as seen in Principle?​

a. If there are two people, one is always Cain and one is Abel. You must know how to distinguish them well. ​

Definitely there is Cain and there is Abel. When there are two, one is Abel and one is Cain. Who is nearer to God? He is Abel. Who is nearer to Satan? He is Cain. 

b. However Cain and Abel must never be separated before being united as one. One side is the right hand and the other side is the left hand. ​

We need both hands, right? We need both Cain and Abel.

c. You must always seek and serve the Abel type figure and try your best effort to avoid the position of Cain. ​

d. God reveals His Word through Abel. Everyone must become one with Abel. ​

(It is not that) God really loves Abel and accepts his offering. No. He has no choice. He needs to accept Abel’s offering first because of the… process of the fall. Abel’s side is a little better; that is why God accepts it. It is not because He truly loves Abel. We need to know this point very clearly.

e. In order to have the right faith, you must be able to discuss everything about yourself with a being who is more Abel-like than yourself. ​

The important thing here is that Cain and Abel are not separate beings, but are to be united.

Just as the right arm and the left arm cannot be separated, so Cain and Abel cannot be separated. We must go together forever.

Not just separate and “Bye bye. You go your own way; I will go my own way.” It is not like that. (They should) live together, stay together, give and take together like right and left hand, as siblings, as brothers and sisters no matter what.

Our goal is to create unity and harmony. That is the foundation of substance. In order to be Abel, you need to have Cain. Without Cain how can you say you are Abel? That is why you need to have 3 spiritual children. If no one calls you Abel, without Cain how can you be in the position of Abel? No Cain means you are still Cain. If you do not have spiritual children, you are still in the position of Cain. Those in the position of Cain always complain, feel jealous and lack of love and always compare. 

We need to graduate from the position of Cain. “I need to become Abel.” In order to become Abel you need to have a minimum of 3 spiritual children who respect you and follow you and unite with you. If I don’t have Cain, I remain a Cain forever.

Why can’t our church grow up? The standard is still formation stage Cain. Growth stage is the position of Abel. If I don’t have spiritual children, I am still in the position of Cain. I have not yet upgraded to the level of the foundation of substance. This is the reason. Our church, our family, our neighbors, most don’t have 3 spiritual children. Our church is still on the servant’s level. We do not take ownership. 

Anyone who produces their own spiritual children, anyone with 3 Cains minimum, wow! Our movement would be upgraded to a different level. 

So our American movement, let’s work harder. Let’s upgrade to enter the foundation of substance. Then we need to have 3 spiritual children who respect me and follow me and obey me voluntarily and happily. I will share more deeply about this tomorrow.♦

(Response to sharing) We need to appreciate the conflict between Cain and Abel. Without that kind of conflict between Cain and Abel, how can I remove my fallen nature? If there is any conflict between Cain and Abel, God asks me to remove my fallen nature. That is why when there is Cain and Abel and they are struggling about something, that means I need to overcome my fallen nature and become a better person. Until I become a perfect being, this kind of problem and struggle between Cain and Abel (will) come to me on and on continuously. If there is a conflict between Cain and Abel, it means I am not a perfect being. I have not yet removed my fallen nature. That is why I need to appreciate that God has given me this kind of homework.
