God should organize the dominion of the new Israel by giving birth to Blessed families. In this way, the fortune of the heavenly side could be raised up from 1960 on. From that point, we were to proceed to the worldwide era by crossing over the eras of family, tribe and nation.

Father, in the position of Jacob, has to organize a tribe and a nation by uniting with members in the position of Esau.

The 36 Couples represent the number 12 through three stages. The 72 Couples represent reversing the failure of Cain and Abel by restoring all the historically lost families.

In Jesus' age, there were Jesus' three main apostles. In order to match that standard, there was the Three Couples' Blessing. Next, the number 12 had to be fulfilled through the Blessing. The 36 Couples correspond to Jesus' 12 apostles horizontally extended through the three stages of past, present and future. The Cain and Abel types of the 36 Couples were expanded as the 72 Couples. The 36 couples represent the family and the 72 Couples represent the tribe. Jesus started the global providence centering upon the 120 disciples in Mark's upper room; similarly, the 120 Couples represent the world. If Jesus had Blessed 120 disciples and had successfully connected them to the nation of Israel, God's Will would have been accomplished in Jesus' lifetime. Jesus should have laid this foundation within three years.

Next, there was the 430 Couples' Blessing. The number 430 corresponds to the numbers four, three and seven. Forty-three has to do with liberation. The Israelites were liberated from Egypt after 430 years of slavery and started the national and global providence for salvation. Israel began to form a nation after the lapse of 430 years. But now we enter the era to restore the world after 430 years.

Father opened the way for any nation or tribe through the 430 Couples' Blessing. Then, to form a reciprocal relationship, Father was to match the condition of the number 43 to the West. Therefore, one year later, Father Blessed 43 couples from the United States, Germany and Japan.

The 777 Couples' Blessing was composed of individuals from ten nations. It established the worldwide foundation.

Father Blessed 1800 Couples 14 years after 1960. It was originally to occur in 1974; however, the providence actually started from April of 1960, so it was permissible for that Blessing to take place before April of 1975. Therefore, the second seven-year course was completed with the 1800 Couples' Blessing, and the Unification Church could depart for the global providence. Six times three equals 18, so that 1800 indicates the complete subjugation of Satan's number six, and thus the accumulated foundation for entering a new era.

The Unification Church has been forming a nation as a new people; you should know this fact clearly, since you are the very ones to inherit this tradition.

The Blessed families, centering upon Father's family, form a new tribe. It will develop and form a nation and world. That is to say that a new nation-of the Third Israel-is to be formed. For example, a Japanese who is Blessed will not be a descendant inheriting the blood lineage of the Japanese historical ancestors, but instead will inherit God's lineage in the Unification Church.

The Third Israel had to be formed on earth through connecting the spiritual First and Second Israel. For this, the Lord at the Second Advent established the first family (Adam's family) in place of the First Israel, the second family (Noah's family) in place of the Second Israel, and the third family (Jacob's family) in place of the Third Israel. That's why the 36 Couples become the ancestors of humankind.

All of you know well that God's providence is to be lifted up to the national level through establishment of the internal family standard. That's why Father started organizing the family in 1960. The 36 Couples, 72 Couples, 124 Couples, 430 Couples and 777 Couples were formed. Centering upon those families, Father could gain victory. Father could depart for the world due to the victory gained on the national level.

To extend the territory of the Blessed family means to expand the mainstream families who inherit heaven's internal heart and the True Parents' lineage. Finally, it means to form a tribe, nation and world centering upon God.

The Blessed families of the Unification Church were not originally intended to form a nation; rather they were ordained for the world of goodness. Therefore, each Blessed family has national and universal value. It doesn't just represent a family of a few individuals, but it represents the family of all humankind. In other words, it represents the whole, transcending the tribal and national level.

Unificationists are to form a new tribe, with a new vision transcending the conventional concept of tribe, and then make a single nation in which the persons of all races love the other races more than their own.
