1) Reason for the Sanctification of the Holy Ground

In the Unification Church, as many blessings were conducted, holy grounds were made as places to pray. During the difficult time when we had no place to pray while being pushed and persecuted, the fact that the holy grounds where we could express our heart to God were selected and dedicated is truly historic. They were events that planted worldwide victory. This we must understand.

In order to expand this standard, last year Father traveled throughout the world and selected the 120 holy grounds in the 40 nations. Although it cost much money to fulfill the task, Father had to do it owing to the unavoidable dispensation of God. Such things had never existed in human history.

Then, why did it have to be done? It was to be tuned to the program of God's providence, according to the heavenly fortune. The 120 holy grounds of 40 nations are the places that can protect the right of God's chosen nation. If those places cannot be protected by people on earth, the spirit people in the spirit world will do it. By making a foundation, we can plant a signpost that God can be with, and we can be ready to fight. We are erecting a starting point for victory in the battle for the restoration of the people. Now we are entering an age in which the final destiny of the heaven and earth should be determined. We clearly see this happening. (16-262)
