To the Youth and Students World Assembly
Grand Hall at the Chung Pyung Heaven and Earth Training Center, Korea
Are you the young Seonghwa soldiers that have assembled here from seventy nations? You will become the owners of a substantial future.
I believe that this year, particularly now that we have only a day until Father' third Seonghwa memorial, members of our worldwide Unification Family have sincerely repented and offered conditions. This year also marks the seventieth anniversary of Korea's independence and that of the establishment of the United Nations.
During my speaking tour in Europe, I said that a movement to attend God must take place in the United Nations. Christianity has a two thousand year old cultural realm in Europe, in which Christians take great pride. Yet, Communism was born from that Christian cultural realm. Communism is an ideology that asserts God's nonexistence. Democracy is theist. However, there was a time when communist forces enjoyed enormous power. That was in the 1980s.
Beginning from 1970, the power of the United States began to weaken. Father believed that world peace would become more difficult to achieve if the United States, the country representative of the democratic world, was not set up on a firm foundation. Hence, despite the various situations taking place in Korea at that time, he crossed over to the United States with concern for the world and for humanity. He did a lot of work during our forty years in the United States.
In the 1970s, the United States was becoming sick from individualism, which penetrated the nation alongside the pride that obtains from becoming the central nation of the world soon after World War II. The collapse of the family, juvenile problems, drug problems and ideological problems were rampant. When the people of the United States -- whom Heaven had raised for two hundred years, began to flop down in their pursuit of their nation's benefit instead of the world's, Father came forward. He said he had come as a doctor because the United States was suffering from disease and that he had come as a firefighter because the United States was on fire. With this message, Father set off on a fifty-state speaking tour, gathering and awakening people from the upper class, political circles, financial circles and other related people.
That was why many intellectuals respected Father in the early days and why those who supported him increased in number. Unfortunately, politicians who could not look ahead, into the future, ended up persecuting Father because of their narrow views. With our being the True Parents who must bring salvation to all of humanity, True Father embraced them and was able to confidently move forward even amidst such a difficult situation.
All of you are probably under thirty. Hence, you will not be wholly familiar with True Parents' history. Thankfully, Chambumo Gyeong, the third volume of scripture, has been completed in both Korean and English during this Seonghwa period. You must study hard.
Ever since its inauguration, the United Nations did a great many things for the world. Had the United Nations not intervened in the Korean War, the Korea we know today would not exist. While conducting the providence, Heaven established the United Nations to protect the True Parents, who were to come to this country.
Sadly, however, the United Nations has no ideology. The countries that meet at the United Nations usually think of their own national benefit. They do not thoroughly know Heaven's providence. This is why no matter how much effort they invest in putting their heads together and trying to become one, it will not work because there has been no center, which is why I said that the United Nations must become an organization that attends Heavenly Parent and True Parents at the center.
Unseen by you, the providence of history has been unfolding with urgency. God created human beings so that he could become the True Parent through them. Yet, humans, who were supposed to rise to such a position, failed to fulfill their responsibilities.
They were greedy. Had they obeyed God's instruction and waited until they had completely grown, the world would not have become what it is today. We would have achieved the kingdom of heaven on earth and in the spiritual realm already. Man's error resulted in God carrying a heavy burden.
The six-thousand-year providential history mentioned in the Bible could have not moved forward without any indemnity. Are you learning about this through the Divine Principle? It took Heaven four thousand years of hard work in order for Jesus Christ to be born two thousand years ago. In other words, the process to raise the chosen people to the point that they establish a nation was not easy. This is why it took four thousand years. The law of indemnity is the reason it took so long.
Hence, God sent Jesus Christ, his only begotten son, after so much hard work and effort; yet, not only the people of Israel but also those in the Judaic realm and even Mary were unable to support Jesus. God's creation consists of plus and minus, pistil and stamen, male and female. Hence, having the only begotten son of God alone could not work out. Jesus had to find God's only begotten daughter, but he could not fulfill his responsibility.
This is why upon his crucifixion he said he would return. He will come back to carry out the marriage supper of the Lamb, in other words, to marry. Until now, Christians have been unaware of this truth. They do not know why the returning Lord is coming.
They believe that they can receive salvation by keeping their individual faith. Sadly, it does not work that way. Not realizing this, Christians have been calling us a cult instead. Our members are attending the True Parents.
You were born within the second- generation realm thanks to True Parents. You are different from those outside, in the world. Hence, I am telling you that you must grow well. The three thousand five hundred young people who have assembled here today must follow True Parents and become the personification of their path, the truth they gave us, the life and the love.
In order to do that, you must not put yourselves in the position of only wanting to receive. Just as True Parents have done, you must practice true love. You must have a heart that gives, gives and still wants to give and share. You must create such an environment. This responsibility lies ahead of you.
This is how we can achieve one world. I said you are pure water, didn't I? Clear water, however, must not be stagnant. It must continue to flow and give birth to many new lives wherever it flows.
This is the basics: True Parents have a dream. Just like God's dream, their dream is not having any muddy water in sight. Everything must become as clear as water. In other words, all people around the world must attend True Parents.
Did you just watch the Sunhak Peace Prize award ceremony program? Being the True Parent of humanity, for quite a long time, True Father was greatly concerned about all the problems humanity faced, including food problems and global warming.
He took the lead in trying to find ways to resolve these problems. True Father dedicated his entire life to realizing God's hope, to resolving the pain and bitterness of humanity and to building the world God had originally envisaged at the time of the Creation. Until now, the central figures that Heaven sent failed to fulfill their responsibilities.
Those standing on the Christian foundation, in particular, did not fulfill their responsibilities. They waited for the returning Lord but did not know the purpose of his return. They believed that only believers would go up to Heaven, riding on clouds. That, however, does not make sense. Right? This comes from not knowing the Principle of Creation, which is why you need to be in positions where you can teach. To do that, you must learn a lot, offer many devotions and invest a lot of effort. The absence of an owner and everyone desiring to become the owner as a result of that absence are the cause of all the different types of problems the world faces today.
This is why rich powerful countries are preparing for war in order to obtain more. They are producing weapons. On our way to a peaceful united world, weapons are unnecessary.
Isn't there a Bible verse that says that? That spears and knives will be melted to make what? It says they should be used to make farming tools. It says that plows and plowshares ought to be made out of them, doesn't it?
Because we are wasting money on unnecessary things, the earth is now in great pain. Desertification is not only happening in China, but also in the United States. With the ice melting at the North Pole, the sea level is getting higher. What do you think will happen? It will destroy the ecosystem.
Human disorderliness has resulted in things that destroy nature, which in turn is contaminating the seawater. As a result, the coral reefs, which are essential to the sea, are also dying.
When we think about all these points, can you just stand still? People that do not know this must be educated. That is why I have so much work to do. Will every single one of you at least help me do it?
Please have dreams: I will master a field in which True Parents desire me to work. I will become a great scholar. I will become a famous person. Please have dreams of that type. I sincerely hope you become Seonghwa students who achieve True Parents' dream.
