1. MINISTER AS THE PRIEST FROM THE LEVITE TRIBE

In order to decorate the offering table, we must fulfill the responsibility of the priest. In order to fulfill the responsibility of the priest, we must become the priest. Therefore, without a priest, the offering table must not be decorated. There must be a priest. That means being of the Levite tribe. Not anyone can be the priest. That person must be from the Levite tribe.

You are raised up in the same position as the Levite tribe. What kind of tribe is the Levite tribe? It is a tribe which does not own anything in this world. When the twelve tribes distributed and received their lands, did the Levite tribe receive any land? [No.] They didn't receive anything. The only thing they had was their own physical bodies.

The Levites did not have any possessions of their own. What was their possession? It was the temple. Their sole possession was the temple. When we think about this, what should the Unification Church do? The Unification Church at this present time must stand in the same position as the Levites. In order to do so, we must not have our own possessions. Do you have many things of your own? Do you own many things? You must naturally be like the Levites.

Then, when we can establish a certain standard, this nation can be raised up in front of God(155-276)
