Key Points
The representative attribute of the Blessing is multiplication.
We who have been blessed first have the responsibility to spread the Divine Principle and the Blessing, to launch the true family movement and build God’s kingdom of peace.
True Parents will guide us and our millions of ancestors will witness our efforts.
Blessed families’ mission is to find Cain and bring him along to heaven with us as our “royal family” (Family Pledge #3) and as our younger siblings.
We can complete our royal family and qualify to enter heaven by fulfilling Tribal Messiahship.
When we all fulfill Tribal Messiahship, that will conclude national restoration.
At the time of True Father’s calling God told Father that his wish was that all people would become perfected filial sons and daughters, be Blessed and create an ideal family, and expand to form the kingdom of heaven on earth, governing all things on behalf of God, and living happily and joyfully centered on God.
True Father was surprised to realize that the omnipotent God has unfulfilled dreams and wishes.
And he has specific dreams, visions, and wishes for each human being.
We are born, live and die as the substantial manifestation of God’s wish and purpose for us.
God has a specific wish and purpose for each of us.
To live by his purpose, we should deny ourself, empty our mind, and acknowledge we belong to God.
God “writes his wishes on a wish paper” for each of us.
We are the substantial form of God's wishes to realize his dream.
We need to create a High-Noon school and train many young people to teach and heal other young people from sexual addictions.

I returned to New York from Minnesota yesterday. Thank you again for the hospitality and love of the Minnesota family. They are so kind and welcoming! The church leader’s wife and Japanese members cooked my breakfast every day. Also, Keiko Obora and Kodan leader Ariko came to the airport to send me (off). It was such wonderful hospitality!
Today I’d like to talk about “The Model Family: A Family of Three Generations” from True Mother’s Anthology, Book 2.
<This speech was given by Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon at the congratulatory luncheon for True Parents' Birthday and the Universal Peace Federation's 1st Global Assembly, held on February 3, 2006 at the CheongPyeong Heaven and Earth Training Center in Korea..>
Ladies and gentlemen: The shortcut to fulfilling God's Will lies in building harmony in the family. Children who grow up and are properly educated in a wholesome family will become the elite forces who can fulfill Heaven's Will. When three generations—the grandparents, parents and children—join in true love and harmonize into oneness, a garden of true harmony can finally be established in that family. Brief as it was, during your stay here in Korea you have all studied the Divine Principle, which came from Heaven as the wisdom that will save humankind in this age. You have also had long discussions on the purpose and significance of the “Abel-type” UN. Among the six billion people on earth, you have been chosen.
As you now return to your homes, please do not forget the responsibility that has been given to you from Heaven. I ask that you do everything you can to build the eternal peace kingdom on earth through the true family movement. When you return home, please do so with joy and hope in your heart. We shall succeed. Heaven's peace ambassadors and secret envoys like you are now taking a stand in all parts of the world. The True Parents, the king and queen of peace of the peace kingdom in heaven and on earth, will guide you. Your good ancestors, who number in the billions, will descend from the spirit world and watch your every word and action with blazing eyes. Please return to your countries with abundant heavenly fortune. I pray that God's blessing be with you and your nations. Thank you very much.
Harmony within the family can will only be established in the family of God.
The teachings of the Principle are the way for Heaven to fulfill God's will in this age. Children who grow up and are properly educated in a wholesome family will become the elite forces who can fulfill Heaven's Will. The Principle is the only gospel that saves humanity, where the three generations of grandparents, parents, and children will harmonize in true love.
Therefore, we were chosen from among 8 billion people and received a calling from heaven to spread these words and blessings to all people. Spreading the Principle and Blessing is our responsibility and mission. As stated in number 6 of the Family Pledge, our responsibility as those who are blessed first is to connect the blessings of heaven to those around us.
We need to convey the Blessing to our neighbors. This is our mission and portion of responsibility. The representative attribute of the Blessing is multiplication. It is one of its greatest attributes.
Just as water rots if it is stagnant and it does not flow, True Father said that if we do not propagate the blessings we have received from Heaven around us, the blessings will become a disaster.
That is why as a blessed couple, we need to multiply the Blessing. Why did Heavenly Father choose us? Why have we become a chosen guy or girl? He asks us to multiply.
Now, we must not forget, even for a moment, what our portion of responsibility is as we have been called by heaven. We must not forget, even for a moment, that we are the ones who must do everything in our power to establish an eternal kingdom of peace through the true family movement on this land.
Connecting blessings to those around us is the shortcut to achieving the kingdom of peace. So, we must go forward with joy and hope and with the determination to make it through without fail.
If we make such a decision, True Parents, the king and queen of peace of the peace kingdom in heaven and on earth, will guide us. Our good ancestors, who number in the billions, will descend from the spirit world and watch our every word and action with blazing eyes.
We need to know why Heavenly Father called us to become chosen people. He asks us to multiply the Blessing, right? One of the greatest attributes of the Blessing is multiplication, right? No matter what, we need to think how we can convey the Blessing to our neighbors and communities.
LIVING DIVINE PRINCIPLE: Chapter 3 Eschatology 4 - The Providence of Salvation
God’s Work of Salvation
• God intended to create a world of goodness and experience from it the utmost joy; yet due to the human Fall, the world came to be filled with sin and sorrow.
• If this sinful world were to continue forever in its present state, then God would be an impotent and ineffectual God who failed in His creation. Therefore, God will save this sinful world, by all means.
• To save a person suffering under the yoke of sin means to restore him to his original, sinless state.
• Thus, God's work of salvation is the providence of restoration.
• The human Fall was undoubtedly the result of human mistakes.
• Nevertheless, God also assumes some respon sibi lity for the outcome because it was He who created human beings.
• God, the eternal subject partner, created us to live eternally because He wanted to share eternal joy with human beings as His object partners.
• Therefore, God saves fallen people and restores them to the original, pure state in which He initially created them.
• God's purpose of creation is the establishment of the Kingdom of Heaven, which in its totality is God's good object partner. The center of God's Kingdom on earth is to be human beings.
• Ever since the fall of the first human ancestors frustrated this Will, the primary goal of the providence of restoration has been nothing less than to rebuild the Kingdom of Heaven on earth.
• Jesus told his disciples to pray, "Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven" (Matt. 6:10.) His words testify that the goal of the providence of restoration is the establishment of the Kingdom of Heaven on earth.
We have been speaking recently about salvation. Here is a step by step plan to save humanity. It is God’s plan for salvation: individual, family, tribal, national and total, cosmic and Satan’s salvation, then God’s liberation.
Yesterday I spoke about family salvation; today we will look at tribal salvation.
God’s Plan for Salvation
2. Tribal Salvation
1. Blessing does not end with just receiving family blessings.
One of the greatest attributes of the Blessing is to multiply, (in this case) to our neighbors and our tribe.
2. The primary goal of the Blessing is to multiply Blessings to their vertical level.
3. Blessed families, as Abel families, must save their own tribe, the realm of Cain.
> We cannot enter heaven without saving Cain.
4. Perfecting the realm of the royal family in the 3rd Family Pledge is achieved through completing the mission of the Tribal Messiahs.
The Mission of Tribal Messiah
• Pledge Number three talks about the Four Great Realms of Heart, the Three Great Kingships, and the Realm of the Royal Family. This is like a textbook, and shows the pattern that should be fulfilled by everyone.
The first is to fulfill the Four Great Realms of Heart; the second is the Three Great Kingships; and the third is the realm of the royal family. Many people cannot understand the realm of the royal family.
• So what is this “realm of the royal family”? “The realm of the royal family” expresses the intention to save all the people of the satanic world who, in the position of the eldest son, have been striving to destroy God.
After restoring one’s tribe completely as the mission of the Heavenly Tribal Messiah and being registered in the Cheon Bo Won, one can acquire citizenship to enter the realm of the royal family.
When vertically we liberate our ancestors and give the Blessing to 430 generations, and horizontally we give the Blessing to 430 families in our tribe, then we have the qualification to register in the Cheon Bo Won. Once we register in the Cheon Bo Won, then we have the qualification to enter the realm of the royal family which is official heavenly citizenship in Cheon Il Guk. This is the final stage. Everybody needs to go here, not just some of us. We (all) need to do it.
Whenever we determine to do the Heavenly Tribal Messiah mission, God will help us. Many people say, “I don’t have money,” “I don’t have manpower,” “I don’t know what to do.” I am telling you, our 1% portion of responsibility is to really be serious to do it. Then God will show us how to do it. Our 1% portion of responsibility is determination.
We should not think, “I am doing this.” If we are determined to do it, God will do it. The problem is that we are not so serious and determined. That is why God cannot help us. If we are determined, our ancestors and good spiritual world and God will help us. The important thing is our attitude and our determination.
Tribal Messiahship is Saving Cain!
What is the realm of the royal family? Now, we have nothing but families, so what do we mean by this “realm of the royal family’? This means Cain.
We have to save Cain…
Therefore, we must not forget Cain. It is not our own family that will form the realm of the royal family. Our family has to unite with the Cain families, inherit the kingship of this world, and set those families up in the younger sibling position.
True Father’s Final Prayer
“Today, as I have returned the conclusion of the final perfection to You, Father, I am aware that I have offered my whole life, up to this moment, to You, Father. I am spending this time now to bring my life to a conclusion, to bring it to a close with jeongseong, according to Your will….”
“When tribal messiahs have established the names that can represent the nations, everything will come to a conclusion. I have accomplished all these tasks. I have completed everything. Aju.” (6.26 (Aug.13)
True Father's last prayer is that the providence to restore the nation will come to an end when we complete the mission of the heavenly tribal Messiah.
(When) each blessed family fulfills their Tribal Messiahship mission, automatically we can restore one nation and the world. Restoring one nation begins with the Tribal Messiahship mission.
Each blessed family needs to know what the purpose of the Heavenly Tribal Messiah mission is. It is to restore one nation, one sovereignty and one people.
TODAY’S YOUTH MINISTRY: Whose Manifestation of Hope are You?
Today’s Youth Ministry is very short but very important.
1. Whose manifestation of hope are you? You are the manifestation of the word to fulfill God's wish. Who created you? God created you. You didn't create yourself. Therefore, you must be aware that you must be centered on God's will, not the other way around. In that sense, where is the word centered on? Should the Creator be the center? Or should you be the center? You have to empty your mind. You have to think that there's not a single percent that belongs to you. Therefore, you should know for sure that you exist because of heaven. Aren't you the one who was born because you commanded God to be born as a man or a woman with your own wish? Were you born because you asked to be born as a man? In that sense, you are not you.
True Father once had a face-to-face encounter with God through Jesus and had time to exchange questions and answers. True Father realized that he had to fulfill his mission as the Messiah and asked God a lot of questions. One of those questions was if God had a wish.
Meeting God and asking such a question in this way is something that other religious people cannot imagine. This is because many people think that God is all-knowing and omnipotent, that He doesn't need anything. He can get whatever he wants.
People believe God is omnipotent, so whatever he wants, he can get.
We may wonder what kind of wish can an omniscient and omnipotent God who can possess everything as he desires could have. But when True Father asked God what His wish was, God told True Father to save all human beings and bring them into the bosom of God.
True Father noticed that God cannot do it by himself. There is God’s portion of responsibility and the human portion of responsibility. At the same time there is the messiah’s portion of responsibility. That is why God sent the messiah asking him to save all humankind and bring them back to God’s bosom. Once Father knew about God’s wish, he really cried.
What we must know clearly is that although God is omniscient and omnipotent, when He created human beings, He had dreams, visions, and wishes for each human being. From that point of view, whose manifestation of hope are we? We are said to be the manifestation of God's will to fulfill His wish.
Many human beings do not know that “God has a wish for me.” Yesterday I said that each human being is the substantial form of God’s wish. Many people do not know that God has wishes. “I was born with God’s wish.” Many people don’t know this, so they go their own way.
What do we all think? Isn't it really surprising and amazing that the omnipotent and great God has a wish for us? Therefore, it is true that we were born with God's wish from the time we were born. We should know that we are not just born without a purpose.
God has a wish and vision for us. So, we need to fulfill his desires. That is the purpose of our life. We need to know his will, his wish. This is the purpose of our life.
But human beings in the secular world go their own way. It is a completely different direction from God’s wishes and his desires. Human beings’ misery begins there.
[Therefore, fulfilling God's wish should be the goal of our lives. In such a position, we cannot assert ourselves, and we cannot escape God's will and live according to our own wish. Therefore, we must be ourselves centered on God's will, and we must know well that we cannot (fulfill) God's will when centering on ourselves.]
So, in order to fulfill God's will, we must empty our mind.
Why must we empty our mind? Because we cannot have our own desire, our own goal. God’s goal should be our goal; God’s dream should be our dream; God’s wish should be our wish.
We have to think that there's not a single percent that belongs to us.
100% (of us) belongs to God: our nose, our mouth, our eyes, our neck, our two legs. We cannot insist that our body belongs to us, our mind to us. We have to understand. We have to think that not a single percent belongs to us. We are a resultant being; we came from God. God is the creator. He is the one who created us. We are not ours.
Therefore, we should know for sure that we exist because of heaven.
Because of God.
When we were born, were we born because we asked God, "Please let me be born as a male" or "Please make me born as a female"?
Did we want this before we came out from our mother’s womb?
We weren't born on this earth because we wished, were we? Am I correct?
We were born on the earth not because of our wish. Our entire life we have lived not because of us. When we die, is it because we wish to? We cannot decide anything. That is why we absolutely need to rely on God. We need to live centering on God’s wish. Many people do not know this point. That is why they lose hope and vision and wander here and there.
And we don't live on this earth because we wished, did we? Also, we don't die because we want to, do we? In that sense, we are not ourself.
Therefore, if there is a person who struggles, devotes himself, and labors to fulfill God's desire, whether he sleeps or wakes up, God cannot help but work with that person.
Then, what is God's wish for us? It is to fulfill the three great blessings. First, it is to become a filial son and a filial daughter and become a perfected true human being.
That is God’s wish. He tries to write a wish paper to each human being. “My wish is that each human being become a filial son or daughter.” If there is a chance God could write a wish paper, that would be his wish.
The second is that a man and a woman receive the Blessing, become husband and wife, become one with each other, and create an ideal family.
He writes his wishes on a wish paper.
“Dr. Yong, you need to become a filial son and create an ideal family.
The third is that the ideal family expands and forms the kingdom of heaven on earth, governing all things blessed by heaven with love on behalf of God, and living happily and joyfully centered on God.
“I want to see the Kingdom of Heaven, the ideal world.”
How long Heavenly Father has waited for that day! Because of the fall, instead of happiness and joy, how much sweat and blood, and (how many) tears he shed. This became his sorrowful han.
What we must not forget, even for a moment, is that we are the substantial form of God's wishes to realize God's dream.
Wow! I really love Father explaining this so clearly. What is the purpose of our life? What should we live for? (It is) very clear. That is why God’s wish should be our wish. We need to give up our own way, our own desire, our own thinking, our own future. God has a very clear plan for each of us.
Not everybody will become a minister. Not everybody will have a public mission. Some will become businessmen, some artists, some will have all kinds of jobs. We need to feel that our mission is to fulfill our goal, God’s wish.
I realize how much Heavenly Father invested every day to raise me.
He has a very clear plan for us every day, every hour. That’s why when we unite with him we already know what to do, where to go. He has a vision and plan for us. It is very clear. When we unite with him, he will give us vision, wisdom and a very clear plan.
That is why we need to have an empty mind. “Heavenly Father, what is your plan for me?”
Father said when we reach 16 to 24 years old if we have a clear alignment, God will tell us very clearly exactly what to do.
If we still do not know what to do, where to go, which way to make money, if we think that way, we cannot get results(?) from heaven.
Father said as long as we have a clear alignment centered on God from 16 to 24 years old, God will clearly give us goals to do (accomplish).
Today I spoke about “Whose manifestation of hope are you?”
(Testimony David Wolfenberger, High Noon Workshops in Europe)
(Response to testimony) We need to raise many leaders to become (high noon) lecturers or counselors. Also, we need to have a professional guy who can speak to them about same-sex marriage as well. This is a serious issue.
According to data from Korean Christianity, more than 90% of Christian young people are watching pornography. Can you imagine that? Even in our church, they do not know how to solve the problem.
I love your going around teaching, (but) we need to have a school(?) to raise lecturers and counselors in a professional way. In the future we need to create a serious department under our family department and in each area, each state, each sub-region. This is one of the most important (kinds of) education to protect our second generation.
Your devotion and effort are incredible! Now it is time to raise up our second generation to approach other young people, that will be more powerful. You have already (set up and) and shown the model. Now let’s (explore) in more detail how to create a school, particularly in this area. We need to focus more on this area and on how to counsel (young people) and (create) a healing program to (resolve this issue). This area is really important.
(Training) only two or three second generation leaders is not enough. There are so many problems everywhere. (Young people) need counseling one-on-one. We need to teach them the process to heal this problem. Not just through lectures. We need to have a forty-day or three-month program to heal them. Then everybody can testify, “I revived(?) from Chapter Two.”
You have already laid the foundation. We need to have a school. We need to (look at this) in more detail. I am very serious about this matter.♦
