You are members of the Unification Church of the subject nation. You must think about the attitude of your spirit. You must reflect upon yourself, whether you unconsciously tried to go back to your old relationships when you experienced a little suffering in the wilderness. You must know that you have a mission to establish the kingdom of God upon arrival to the land of Canaan from the wilderness. Although you may experience persecution and opposition from tribes of Canaan, you must fight and win, and create the fatherland. You must accomplish the given responsibility with faith in God and with the burning heart which overwhelms that of the tribes of Canaan. Although you finished the life of wilderness, you should not think that everything is over or everything is accomplished. It is not the case. You must finish the final responsibility. Today, members of the Unification Church must deeply understand that they have received the mission which nobody had thought about in human history. You must become a person who transcends temporary history and the world, and who can receive the heavenly fortune. You must be grateful for God's love and blessing, Who visited an eastern country, Korea among many countries, visited yourself in particular, in order to accomplish His Will. (1986/10/21) In order to become the subject country, you, Korean members, must pay attention. As I spoke to you yesterday, foreign missionaries had been sent to each country. Have you started a movement to collect money, even a penny, in order to send it to them? You are in the subject country. Church President! You must spiritually take care of what you do. Our comrades have gone to foreign lands. They are fighting on the streets of foreign lands, looking up to Heaven and praying for their comrades in their mother country. They are also hungry and longing for many things. But they cannot speak about their situation. You have your home and friends here and there. They have to live looking up at the stars in the sky. There are your comrades who keep the way which Father has assigned, even at the risk of their lives. They are fighting to overcome the present path of life and death, pledging the victory of tomorrow. You must not ever forget your comrades, members of the Unification Church of Korea. (83-92) We will have to make Korea the subject nation which can influence and take care of foreign countries. I do not like the country which is taken care of by others. Well, then, do we have to do it or do we not have to do it? (We have to do it.) Do we have to do it whether dead or alive? (Even if dead.) We have to do it no matter what, whether we are alive or dead. That is the way it is. (64-294) While Father is working in foreign countries, what do you have to do? You must fulfill your responsibility in front of 30 million Korean people. What do church leaders and witnessing staffs have to do? They have to start a national movement. You must give publicity to people. Do you know what it means? (Yes) You must do street witnessing. You must work everywhere in the nation. Now, it is not the time for individuals to find and visit families. It is the time to make a public announcement in front of the whole society. A crucial and critical situation is coming in front of us. We must set the pace and create the environmental foundation upon which we can jump high. You must know that now is the time to appeal to the entire nation, holding our flag high. In the period of Father's absence, what will you have to do first? You must get together and pray. This is the first thing you must do. Just as Father has been praying for this tribe, you must have time of prayer to pledge with Heaven to protect the nation. You must pledge in prayer to serve wholeheartedly to the nation, and unite all the key factors inside and outside of yourselves for the day of the unification of the North and the South. I ask you to do this. You understand, don't you? (Yes) As the second thing to do you must publicize the Unification Church so that there is no one who does not know it wherever you go in South Korea. If we do not publicize the Unification Church, it means that we did not carry out the mission of the Unification Church. Do you understand? (Yes) You must publicize the Unification Church in this short period, and work day and night without rest. Originally speaking, we are supposed to work together with other organizations. Since we cannot do this, we must carry a doubled cross. We must do this, even if we are the only people to carry out the task. There will be no way to go, if we do not do this work. In order to change the miserable destiny to come, you must devote yourselves wholeheartedly. Although you must go through hardship, I must ask you to overcome it and carry out the responsibility, Do you understand? (Yes) I must tell you this next. Now, witnessing members on the front lines and church leaders are not united. You must visit the problem places and solve them all. Do you understand? (Yes) You must pray and work together. If it is possible, take those who do not get along well or who were enemies in the past or who oppose each other. Let them unite while you work together. You work with them so that they can unite through the activities for the sake of the nation. You must solve any enemy relationships among members of the Unification Church. If you pray this way, are united, and witness wholeheartedly to thirty thousand miles of Korean peninsula, going around and around, Heaven will certainly assist you on the way. This is Father's point of view. I ask you to devote yourself with a sincere heart for the sake of the nation. Did you understand? (Yes) (50-254) When I go to America, I want to look back to Korea and say, "Oh, Korean members! They are doing very well!" You must work hard so that I can say that. Korea is a subject nation. I want to praise it as the leading nation. Don't you think so? Is that so or not? Even if you lived like beggars, Korea must establish its spirit as the subject nation and the fatherland of faith. You must be praiseworthy. Even if Father was in America, you must work hard so that he can praise it. If you did not do so, it is a big problem. Should you do so or you don't have to do so? (We should do so.) What will happen, it you did not do so? (It will be a big problem.) What's going to happen if you did not do so in spite of possible situations? What should be done, if you cannot do autonomously? What do you think? Should you do autonomously or forcibly? (We should do autonomously.) Whether you should do so by yourself or by force, you must decide. Should you do so by yourself or you should not do so? (We should do so by ourselves.) Yes, You must do so by yourself.
