1. Whose Responsibility is This World?

1) What Kind of World Does God Seek?

This is the end of the world. What kind of end? An end to a process of creating a perfect individual, a perfect family, a perfect tribe, a perfect nation, and a perfect world, and finally a perfect kingdom of God. But the humanity of today does not know this. It doesnOt know God's mission in this.

The misfortune is that God's 6000-year struggle to guide humankind in that direction has been met with man's inability to know about this direction. The world of today has all the correct structure but God has been blocked from intervening within that.

Then, what can be done? I want to cry out to the world: Where is the man of the hour, where are those that God delivered from Egypt? Where are the people that Jesus, King of Kings, came down to love? What can be a graver misfortune than not finding the foundations through which God wanted to hold our hands, singing together as one heart?

But God will find what He seeks. He is our true God. But what is it that our true God is seeking? He is seeking a true person, a true family, a true society, a true nation, a true world and a kingdom of righteousness in which heaven and earth will become one heart. And He will find it. You must sever all the cords that bind you as individuals, as families, as tribes, and as traditions, as an act of contrition. You must establish that kind of foundation.

What kind of world is God seeking? It is a true world with the true parents. Because of the Fall, we have inherited our blood lineage but not God's eternal love and true parents. Your individual merits mean very little. There is no value in our being when we stand to inherit the fall of man from our ancestors.

Where are our true parents whom we can praise and to whom all creatures can sing? They have been lost to us. Not from a historical process, but in the beginning of history. Who can unburden us from this millstone? You must know this.

Who are our true parents? True Parents are those who attend God as their Parent so that we can live as sons and daughters. We must find our true parents since they have been lost to us.

The land on which we stand today is not ours. It is not the land of our ideals. It has nothing that can connect us to our true parents. The Unificationists must be the ones who understand this clearly. It's not the appearance, but the substance, that is important. You must know the truth. When we cannot hear the voice of our own conscience we must post signs everywhere that tell us about the truth. It will be the end of the fallen world when there are all true parents, all true husbands and wives, all true sons and daughters, all true citizens, all true creatures, all true rights, and an all-true universe can become united with God in all thoughts and actions.

But what kind of a second coming are we talking about? A cataclysmic change in our world so that we can all levitate? You shouldnOt dream about this sort of spiritual phenomena. Reverend Moon had once thought that way too. That's why he can understand things through his personal struggle against this type of expectation.

What kind of world indeed? It's when we have paid our indemnity for all our tangled tragedies and points of bitterness in the individual, in the family, in society, in the nation, and in the whole world. It's when all vertical links become horizontal to connect historic individuals, historic families, historic societies, historic nations, and a historic world. Reaching that day is the purpose of our struggle and mission.
